WOTM 08: Mehmed IIhttp://gotm.civfanatics.net/civ4games/images/wotm08civ.jpg]

This time, its much easier.....


This game MUST be played in Warlords patch version 2.08. We will NOT accept any games played under any other patch versions, and you can't play it in vanilla (plain) Civilization4!

Further, it MUST be played using the latest version of HOF mod for Warlords. This is currently version 2.08.004 (http://hof.civfanatics.net/civ4/mods/HOF-2.08.004.exe) - a different version from last month!



For Mac Players, there is ALSO a new version of the HOF mod required: Version HOF-Mac-2.08.005. DOWNLOAD IT FROM HERE (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=214617).


Game settings:
Civilization: Ottoman (Leader: Mehmed II. Traits: Expansive & Organised)
Rivals: 6
Difficulty: Noble
Map: Continents
Mapsize: Standard, Cylindrical
Climate: Arid
Water level: high
Starting Era: Ancient

Mehmed II:
Mehmed II is Expansive and Organised; starting with Agriculture and The Wheel. Expansive gives +2 health / city, +50% production of workers, and double production speed of granaries & harbors. Organised has only 50% civic upkeep cost, and allows double production speed of lighthouses, factories & courthouses.


Unique unit: Janissary (Gunpowder)
The Janissary replaces the standard musketman. Whilst it retains the same unit stats (strength 9, cost 80, move 1), it is a bit more useful than the standard musketman (which is arguably obsoleted fairly quickly) in that it gains a +25% bonus against mounted units, archery units and melee units.

Unique building: Hammam (Mathematics, Masonry)
The Hammam replaces the aquaduct. The only difference between this and the standard aqueduct is that the hammam provides +2 happiness.

Was just passing by when this thread was posted.
*Swipe* Got it!
Am I the first?

man, I was about to post here first too...arrr

Hmm... got my Warlords couple of days ago and this is only Noble. No promises but I'll try to finish this one.

If I get the new version of the HOF Mod, would it affect the sgotm I'm playing in?

I believe that the game will prompt you to use the proper mod.

As cactus Pete says - no, it won't. The mod loads only when required.

First time back since GOTM 2! So, I have a question: will my Better AI dll file affect the mod? Should I remove the dll before loading the save file?

UPDATE never mind. it's easy to remove/restore Better AI dll file anyway. sorry for spamming.

I believe the link is busted. At least it is for me, atm.

server is down, figure it goes the day I finish my last final :(

and I didn't download the file the day it was available as I usually do, even if I can't play it immediately...guess I'll be working on my first HOF submissions instead.

Maybe you can ask someone who already has the save to forward it to you? :)

Ahhhh... I want to play Now!! Finally a difficulty I can pwn at, and I can't even get the download :-(

Can't the file be moved to a different Civfanatics server?

it appears every single database is affected, not just the GOTM ones.

it's back up

indeed it is...hooray!
