Warning:
Intense In-Game Action! Not for Noobs!!! Lead your Civilization throught the years and survive to the attack of powerful enemies. HUGE ARMIES IN GAME!!! Let your empire Rule the World!

i will test but you have competitors :)

i will test but you have competitors :)

Doesnt work for me, crashes my game after uploading mod during restart up. Could be an encoding error or maybe a version error I'm running 3.13.

My buddy tried on his comp and it also failed.

Great ideas though hope you get it to work!!!

i run 3.13, doesn't work too

Hey, I've got 3.13, and I'm in the same boat! I noticed that it seems to crash when loading the mod right at the XML portion of the load. I'm not sure if that will help you pinpoint the problem at all.

I really love this idea though! More suggestions would be Lhamas in South America, Chickens in South East Asia, Turkeys in North America and Tea in China.

Perhaps not all or any of these suggestions will be viable and I have no idea how to make this stuff happen myself, but I just thought with those extra extra resources on top of the ones you've already added the game would be near perfect.

Thanks for the hard work! The original mods are still really fun!

Likewise, same here, crashes at the XML stage

OOOPSSS... I FORGOT!!!

I DID THIS MAP FOR 3.03 VERSION!!!! :D :D :D

BUT NOW I'VE ALREADY FIX THE PROBLEM.... :lol:

NOW SHOULD WORK WIT BTS 3.13... ISN'T IT????

works for me now! Thanks Liam cant wait to play through it.

Awesome you are the man! Now if we can get those recommendations I stated earlier going... we're set... if you do want to take on the task and need any help, please let me know!

Thanks again for the awesome job!

does the mod allow multiplayer?

Me again,


so I noticed that Tobacco and Cotton are both labelled as Olives in the Map Editor and then I'm wondering... is this mod multiplayer? I'm trying to get a good multiplayer going with this but once I load the mod, no one seems to be able to see my game, even with the same mod loaded.


Anyway, first glances, this still looks like the best mod on the block.

I never tried MULTIPLAYER so I don't Know what can be the problem!!!! :( :( :(

I get some error whenever i try starting this up i think im doing something wrong though its probley when i download it. how do you get this to work. also how do you activeate the blue marble design.

Make sure your copy is BTS version 3.13

Probably Gravey is right... I made this MOD for BTS 3.13 version!!!
Check your version!

That's how to install the mod:
Unzip the file in the MOD folder. You will have a folder called Earth 34 Civs
Then Launch the Mod and choose map Earth 34 Civs.

For Install BLUE MARBLE just download it. Then Launch the exe... And chose HIGH QUALITY... That program is self installing...

I've been trying to download this, but the .rar file doesn't unzip. When I move it to the program files, it doesn't do anything. HELP!

Nvm- i got it. But when i get the Leaderheads screen it freezes completely- why??

CHEESE!!! -------> Probably Need to UPDATE your BTS to 3.13 Version!

SolomontheWise --------> use WINRAR to unzip the files.

Is there anyway you can make so the names aren't in italion. Also can you make it so the AI doesent have random personality.

chad's right could you change the names to english and also make them full names instead of abbreviations.

Thnx, I found winrar right after I posted that, but there is some thing with the leaderheads on mine too. Where do I update to version 3.13?

Is there anyway you can make so the names aren't in italion. Also can you make it so the AI doesent have random personality.

Simply open the map file earth34 civs with notepad...

Then Change the tag Leadername=Italian Name with Leadername=Name you want ;)

NOTE that you can change all the italian words to your language!!! Just translate and overwrite the words with notepad and then SAVE and exit...

For Random Personality: Just UNCHECK the random personality during the game settings before starting a new game!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Down Here is patch 3.13 download it!!!
http://www.firaxis.com/games/game_detail.php?gameid=16&showcon=2


chad's right could you change the names to english and also make them full names instead of abbreviations.

For change Leader Names, Civilization Names, just read up here... (Can also change Leaders in the map just change LEADER_NameOfTheLeader with another one)

For the 3 letters leadername i suggest you to download again the map, that now has long leadernames .... :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I'M also planning to add AUSTRALIAN and ABORIGENS civilizations in the map (Moving Hammurabi from Australia in Iraq) for better gameplay expirience!!! This mod will be soon uploaded!!!

But its alot of work to open that file with notepad and enter the names we want, and its not like I remember everyone either. Is there no file I can open and copy all the english leader names and paste them into your earth34.civs file ?

Looks like a great scenario but its just not playable with the italian names :)

Maybe SOON I will add an INQUISITOR UNIT in this mod...

Spoiler alert!

Great map! I was very perplexed by a few features though. I did not see any of the continental wonders available (Hanging Gardens and Notre Dame are examples). If they have been eliminated, perhaps the civilopedia and tech tree should be edited to reflect the changes. I haven't yet gotten to the modern era, but I'm assuming Hoover Dam is gone also.

I was also very surprised to see that the Dutch and Portuguese were not in their normal start locations. I got messages saying they had been eliminated before I visited the New World, and I had already mapped the old world, so I'm guessing they had start locations over there. That was confusing. The Celts starting out in central Asia was less confusing--if we call ourselves Caucasians, then supposedly out ancestors came from the Caucasus region of Russia....right?

Anyway, great mod and map. I really liked the way Europe worked, and the new resources were fabulous. I also liked allowing civs to choose which religion they founded--it got Christianity put in Europe (France researched it), but a New World civ founded Buddhism, which was a little wacko. But Taoism was founded in Asia, Judaism in the Middle East, so there was some reason to it. Did you code civs to have a favored religion?

I was also pleasantly surprised to find the Pyramids in Thebes. Is that just luck, or did you plan it that way?

Good work!

Nothing is eliminated from the game... NOTHING!!! :lol:

Dutch and Portugal starts in South America FOR CONTINET BALANCE!!!
Is like if Portugal is BRAZIL civilization...
Dutch instead is like SURINAME colony. The actual dutch colony in South America...

The same for SUMERIAN in middle Africa and CELTS in middle East... Just for a GAMEPLAY BALANCED...

For the religion I put the "RANDOM RELIGION" options checked in the starting options... All you saw is just the AI!!!!! ;)

Thanx for compliments... I will upgrade the mod with the inquisitor soon...

Sorry didnt notice ur post

Is this compatible with the unoffical patch?

Is this compatible with the unoffical patch?

I don't know... :confused: :confused: :confused:

Is this compatible with the unoffical patch?

Yes, it works fine....

Will it work if im in the middle of a game?

could you post a version with random start locations?

It's a great map and I enjoyed it, but the Next War technology and units aren't in it. Did you take them out? I've put the file earth 36 Civs in different places - I've tried it from My documents/ Games and My computer/ programs/ Firaxis/ BTS/ one in Mods and one in Maps. Still no Next War tech. Did you take it out? (I've tried other Next War games, and they have all the tech/ units.)

Also, how can I include the MAD Nukes mod in your 36 civs game, if possible?

I took off the next war tecnology cause the max UPLOAD SIZE is 10 MB...

If i put that mod in my mod I OVERSIZE and I can't Upload the 36 civ + resource version!!!

That's the PROBELM!!! :mad:

BUT you can easily add other mods to mine: Just check the NEXT WAR mod files that need to be merge in my mod...


chad187: Will it work if im in the middle of a game? I don't know what you mean! Are you speaking about Advanced Start??? I never tried.... :confused:


g.bromios could you post a version with random start locations? I don't know how to do... At least, you can DOWNLOAD my map and check HOW TO DO for Random Starting Position...

im talking about the patch.

MOD UPDATED!!! Added INQUISITOR UNIT v1.6 By Bmarnz!!! :) :) :)


What can I add now?

I tried putting in the Next War files, but then your mod didn't work.

Nevermind, it did. I just have the regular resources now, but more units and buildings. Great mod - I like the way the world is balanced and that a Civ world map game finally has Australia on it!

Thanx a lot. I think that CAUSE the Inquisitor mod, some Phyton Files from NEXT WAR can't be merged... I did what you need on my FIRST VERSION of this mod. Maybe you can dowload that mod
http://forums.civfanatics.com/uploads/123620/Earth_31_Civs.rar

Then you can change the map with This one for 36 civs...

Don't forgot to add the MODULES folder in this mod if you do this... :lol:
And remember that you will not have INQUISITOR on it...


ACTUALLY I'M PLANNING TO FIX THE GAMESPEEDINFO.HTML AS ACCURATE AS POSSIBLE!!!

Yeah, I don't have Inquisitor or the Australian unique unit, but I probably wouldn't use it that often and I always play as England anyway, so I prefer the Next War units :lol: .

I have a question about colonies. Whenever I make one, it's America; if I destroy Boudica, could I then have a Celtic colony, or will it still be America? I want a colony on Ireland this game, you see.

Hi There,

Nice map that I would like to test, but I'm wondering what U mean by "merging" some other mods with yours... (I think especially about Varietas Delectat 3.1). I have already heard this in other threads, but I still don't understand how you do that.

Anyone with some experience could help me out ?

And as it is soon Xmas, anyone could tell me if there is a way to load a particular mod and then use some pre-made maps not particularly designed for it (I'm thinking about playing History in the Making that I love with a particular map without loosing all the specific civs, leaders, ressources... made in HiTM).

Thanks for enlightening a CIV lover (I started with CIV1 while student) but with poor moding Xperience.:)

Well, I'm very messy with computer programs and the like, so I just picked up the fle I watched (Next War Enhanced), and dropped it into this mod. I then took out the XML files and copied/ pasted them into the XML files of this mod. The first time I did it this made the mod crash completely. I tried it again and it worked.

There's almost certainly a better way to do it, though.

This is honestly the only map I play now.

Yeah, I don't have Inquisitor or the Australian unique unit, but I probably wouldn't use it that often and I always play as England anyway, so I prefer the Next War units

Australian Civ is MODULAR and I think you can easily merge it in your mod just moving the Custom Civilization\Australia folder into your mod... :goodjob:

I have a question about colonies. Whenever I make one, it's America; if I destroy Boudica, could I then have a Celtic colony, or will it still be America? I want a colony on Ireland this game, you see.

I don't usually play with colonies so I don't really know how they works... I just see them in a copple of games and I think that they are not so usefull in this map... But anyone plays the way he likes.... :p

Merging mods is what I did!!! I used Rhye's map, Bmarz Inquisitor, Aranor civilizations and i picked resources in other mods... Then I just merge those stuff and I did some modification to the map... The result is the map I Upload... For Merging mods is better if you know the XML language or will be hard to explain!!! :confused:

HOW TO MERGE VARIETAS DELECTAT 3.1 TO MY MOD:
1- Download Varietas Delectat And unzip him.
2- CUT and PASTE the files EthnicArtstyles_1.04.FPK and VarietasDelectat_v.3.1.FPK IN MY MOD FOLDER Earth 36 Civs\Assets
3-CUT and PASTE the folders Ethnic Artstyles and Varietas Delectat to Earth 36 Civs\Assets\Modules
4- Launch the game... Now Lots of units will be Different!!!

And as it is soon Xmas, anyone could tell me if there is a way to load a particular mod and then use some pre-made maps not particularly designed for it (I'm thinking about playing History in the Making that I love with a particular map without loosing all the specific civs, leaders, ressources... made in HiTM).

Sometimes is needed just to move the map IN THE MOD FOLDER, Under the private maps (or public maps). Watch out!!! Sometimes the map NEED the mods files to be copied too... For example MY MAP is unable to play without the entire mod!!! ;)


This is honestly the only map I play now.
THANX A LOT!!!! :goodjob: :goodjob: :goodjob:

5 dic 2007 MOD UPDATED.... :goodjob:

I made Some Little Changes to the map, to the gameplay and I replace the ABORIGINES with a NEW ONE kind...

I also relocated Celts and Khmer...

I'm planning to add AGAIN the NEXT WAR TECHNOLOGIES... :D

Really? That would be great!

If you're looking for another civilisation at any time, would you consider adding Tibet?

Where did you relocate Celts to - Ireland?

also, could you change the nuclear weapons like in the MAD Nukes mod? In that, nukes can be targetted at cities and are automatically launched if that civilisation nukes you. The nukes can also destroy entire cities. However, the global warming on it is absolutely ridiculous and ruins the game.

I'm off to play this mod now, actually :scan: :xmastree:

First off I want to say great mod+map, It's the only one I play lately. However, there seems to be a problem with the new version. When a civ finds a religion with the pre-req tech, they seem to get 2 religions instead of one. I went into the world builder when It seemed fishy that 2 religions where found the same year twice. In the bulder I found out that Charlemagne discovered med. and had 2 religions, Christanity and Hinduism. He had learned no other religious techs(it was only 26 turns into the game) Pretty big problem I figured I let you know. Again great mod. Thanks. Hope to see the problem resolved quickly so I can continue playing.

Thanks for report... I STILL NOTICE THIS PROBLEM to the creator of the mod LIMITED RELIGION... I realize that problem playing AFTER uploading that file...

However the error is "fixed" cause I Upload another version, with all the changes but with the "OLD" working inquisitor... :lol: :lol:

No problem. I also wanted to point out tobacco, and cotton are called "olives", just a text issue. Thanks. Keep up the good work!

Names of Civs and leaders are in italian

No problem. I also wanted to point out tobacco, and cotton are called "olives", just a text issue. Thanks. Keep up the good work!

This is a very strange BUG! :mad: :mad: :mad: If you try to change language (for example italian of french) they will be displayed for appropriate name. I don't really know WHY they don't work for English!!!! Also if I named it in the right way!!! Check the file:

Earth 36 Civs\Assets\XML\Text\CIV4GameText_Civilopedia_Bonu ses.xml and you will see that I named it in the RIGHT WAY!!! :mad: :mad: :mad:

Names of Civs and leaders are in italian

Thanx for this report.... I ALREADY FIX THE PROBLEM AGAIN... Since I'm from Italy I always FORGOT this small "problem"... :lol: :lol: :lol:

MOD UPDATED:

- NOW WITH 38 CIVILIZATIONS! I add CANADA and ARGENTINA for Balance Continents...



Fixed Bugs on 08-dec
- No More Italian Names in the map. (Thanx To Lachlan for Report) :goodjob:
- No More Resources Wrong Name Olives for Tobacco and Cotton (Thanx To Geebo for Report) :goodjob:
- Some wrong map plots corrected.
- Added DIPLO SOUND for ABORIGINES and AUSTRALIAN. :lol:
- Removed the Better Espionage Screen cause BTS 3.13 has already it.
- Added Improved BTS 3.13 GameCore.dll (Lt.Bob V3.0e including Bhruic's v1.11)


I'm still trying to fix the LIMITED RELIGION problem... But seems to be harder than me... :mad: :mad:

Nice! Thanks for the update, looks good. Also I wanted to give some suggestions and feedback for the map for both balance and realism. I don't know if you prefer realism or balance, or both. But here goes...

1) First I would rename Portugal to Brazil, or replace Portugal with a Brazilian civ(it drives me crazy to see Lisbon where Sao Paolo should be. lol)

2) I would move the Dutch back to Europe(in Amsterdam), and I would rename(or change) and move the Holy Roman Empire to Poland( It seems Germany is always at the top and France is at the bottom, with HRE gone this leaves France to grow somewhat more. Also this allows Russia to have some early conflict with Poland.

3) I would move the Celts to Scotland or Ireland. This would encourage more war with England, and it would cause more naval battles. The Celt's near Mongolia just doesn't make sense, and now with Poland in the mix the Vikings won't become as strong.

4) African civ's seem to be almost always high in scores, especially Mali and Zulu. First I would rename Sumeria to Congo(just for realism, again just because it drives me crazy to see Sumeria in Africa.) and I would add a Nigerian civ.( I still haven't figured out who to move or delete. Maybe Greece or the Byzantine they are very similar in culture and Greece always ends up with 2 cities at the bottom of the score anyway.

I know those are a lot of suggestions I just feel realism and balance should go hand and hand, and this map+mod has the capability of having both realism and balance, and fun all in one!

Most of these suggestions I made were because of balance. I played over 15-20 games on this map and many of my friends have gave me feedback as well. In short, Africa is almost always strong, and Europe is fairly weak(besides Germany). Also Asia is almost always strong as well. I understand this will happen because of land, and number of cities, however we need to figure out a way for Europe to thrive just like Asia, and we need Africa to be less advanced in techs, and strength.

Please let me know what you think of my suggestions. Again thanks for this great map+mod I wasn't into civ for some time, but this map brought me back. The performance is perfect, even with all these civs. Very enjoyable map.

If you need any help, with city lists or anything let me know. Unfortunately I do not know how to mod, but I will help you in any way you need to perfect this project!

FIRST OF ALL I hope you can image HOW HARD is to do a BALANCED MAP when we speak of the PLANET EARTH IN THIS GAME!
Here's all answers you need...

1) Replace Portugal with a Brazilian civ. lol)

I tried to do this but is "strange" but the PORTUGAL can't stay in Europe Cause SPAIN too close. So I decided to put there them AS PORTUGAL COLONERS. REPLACING THEM with an "unofficial" Brasilian Civ will Kick them out from the map and the "unofficial" brasilian civ is not beauty as "official" portughese civ... :p :p

2) I would move the Dutch back to Europe

With this MAYA and PORTUGAL will become Enormous States. And Moving them to Amsterdam (moving east HRE too), will block France As HRE does. :p

3) I would move the Celts to Scotland or Ireland.

Scotland or Ireland in this map are TOO SMALL for 2 Civilizations (England and Celts). They will be blocked by theirselves. In plus, Celts in East Asia are NEEDED to block the "Over-rise" of the OTTOMAN EMPIRE that will conquer half of the "useful" asia. What I'm planning to do is MAYBE to kick out CELTS from the map and put instead of the a kind of "MAGYAR" or "TIBET" Civilizations (What you think about this?)

4) African civ's seem to be almost always high in scores.

NIGERIAN CIV or something other middle African civ is a GOOD IDEA :goodjob: to add in this game. This will Kick out SUMERIANS ('cause Babylon is MORE an Hammurabi's Place). I think that Another civ in Africa is a good idea... This will bring civs up to 39! I have a copple of african civs... I will see...

5) However we need to figure out a way for Europe to thrive just like Asia.

Wich CIVILIZATIONS need to be DELETED or MOVED is always an HARD CHOICE (Specially speaking of European Civilizations), Cause The world is TOO BIG and EUROPE is SMALL and IN THIS GAME (But also in the reality) has LOTS of of IMPORTANTS CIVILIZATIONS! :goodjob: [/B] (And in this map EUROPE is STILL ENLARGED :eek: :eek: )... As I am European I don't really know wich one is the "less important"...

HOPE that a day you will lear to mod as me... I'M A BEGINNER!!! And what I'm Able to do is just "CUT AND PASTE" from FILES! Easy to learn...

Ehi, Thanx for comments geebo. :goodjob:

1) What about more civics, genre 10 civs per category

10x5 = 50 civics :)

Reorganizing them should be cool

2) What about preplaced holy cities ?

and add a few religions like :

- Mesoamerican (Tenochtitlan)
- Christianity -> Catholic (Rome)
- Anglicanism (London)
- Orthodoxy (Moscow)
- Sunna I. (Mecca)
- Shia I. (Bagdad/Babylon) Babylon is 90 Km north distant of Bagdad
- Animism (Ulundi)

- ideas for existing religions ?

If we preplace Capitals should be ok...

3) Europa is a small continent but very very rich

1) What about more civics, genre 10 civs per category 10x5 = 50 civics Reorganizing them should be cool

Hi Lachlan! I'm interested in adding civs... I have still made a Map with 39 Civs. I add the Maasai Civilization from CivGold 4.0 and very soon I'm going to update the map... I'm looking for other interesting Civs for this map... ANY IDEAS??? :cool:

2) What about preplaced holy cities ?

Seems that they will UNBALANCE the game. A Civilization should not have a Holy City when the game start cause become "too much favourite" since the beginning of the game.


and add a few religions like :

- Mesoamerican (Tenochtitlan)
- Christianity -> Catholic (Rome)
- Anglicanism (London)
- Orthodoxy (Moscow)
- Sunna I. (Mecca)
- Shia I. (Bagdad/Babylon) Babylon is 90 Km north distant of Bagdad
- Animism (Ulundi)

This is a good Idea :goodjob: I was planning to add... Do you know some interesting religions mod that can be merged in mine??? I would add all the "Secondary Religions". Let me explain: The game is ALWAYS with 7 religions, but I want to add a mod that let a civ choose from a list the "REAL RELIGION" that civilization has in the reality (For Example Sud American Religions ecc...)
Any Idea on a mod able to do this???

3) Europa is a small continent but very very rich
The Only problem is that there is too many civs, and NONE of them become strong... :mad: :mad:

Hi Lachlan! I'm interested in adding civs... I have still made a Map with 39 Civs. I add the Maasai Civilization from CivGold 4.0 and very soon I'm going to update the map... I'm looking for other interesting Civs for this map... ANY IDEAS??? :cool:

ANSWER 1 : "Civics" are not civs but those wich you press F3 button of keyboard :goodjob:



This is a good Idea :goodjob: I was planning to add... Do you know some interesting religions mod that can be merged in mine??? I would add all the "Secondary Religions". Let me explain: The game is ALWAYS with 7 religions, but I want to add a mod that let a civ choose from a list the "REAL RELIGION" that civilization has in the reality (For Example Sud American Religions ecc...)
Any Idea on a mod able to do this???


ANSWER 2 : sorry i have no skills in modding and you should request it in "mod componment" forum of Civfanatics.com behind "Full Mods" forum

and ANSWER 3 : You can add "Inuits" (top america ? greenland ? top siberia ? top europa ?), "Indonesia" and 'Malaysia' still...

Will be still playable ? With 36 Civs my PC has again a few possibilities...

For example in 1500 my 4 Go of RAM was filled by 2/3...

FIRST OF ALL I hope you can image HOW HARD is to do a BALANCED MAP when we speak of the PLANET EARTH IN THIS GAME!
Here's all answers you need...



I tried to do this but is "strange" but the PORTUGAL can't stay in Europe Cause SPAIN too close. So I decided to put there them AS PORTUGAL COLONERS. REPLACING THEM with an "unofficial" Brasilian Civ will Kick them out from the map and the "unofficial" brasilian civ is not beauty as "official" portughese civ... :p :p



With this MAYA and PORTUGAL will become Enormous States. And Moving them to Amsterdam (moving east HRE too), will block France As HRE does. :p



Scotland or Ireland in this map are TOO SMALL for 2 Civilizations (England and Celts). They will be blocked by theirselves. In plus, Celts in East Asia are NEEDED to block the "Over-rise" of the OTTOMAN EMPIRE that will conquer half of the "useful" asia. What I'm planning to do is MAYBE to kick out CELTS from the map and put instead of the a kind of "MAGYAR" or "TIBET" Civilizations (What you think about this?)



NIGERIAN CIV or something other middle African civ is a GOOD IDEA :goodjob: to add in this game. This will Kick out SUMERIANS ('cause Babylon is MORE an Hammurabi's Place). I think that Another civ in Africa is a good idea... This will bring civs up to 39! I have a copple of african civs... I will see...



Wich CIVILIZATIONS need to be DELETED or MOVED is always an HARD CHOICE (Specially speaking of European Civilizations), Cause The world is TOO BIG and EUROPE is SMALL and IN THIS GAME (But also in the reality) has LOTS of of IMPORTANTS CIVILIZATIONS! :goodjob: [/B] (And in this map EUROPE is STILL ENLARGED :eek: :eek: )... As I am European I don't really know wich one is the "less important"...

HOPE that a day you will lear to mod as me... I'M A BEGINNER!!! And what I'm Able to do is just "CUT AND PASTE" from FILES! Easy to learn...

Ehi, Thanx for comments geebo. :goodjob:

I understand that South America will grow to large, but you did add Argentina so that should slow the growth some what. As Argentina will likely build up and force Portugal(Brazil) to build up as well.

Maybe renaming and relocating the Vikings to Sweden and renaming and relocating the Celts to a Norwegian or Finnish civ?

What about moving HRE to Poland? This will allow France to grow more. The HRE really doesn't have a place on this map with both Germany and France, in my opinion.

I'm of European descent as well, Italian-American actually, so I understand that it's difficult who to remove and who is more or less important. I just personally feel HRE can be moved to Poland, for both balance and realism.

Thanks for replying. Looking forward to new versions!

Also I like the idea of diff. religions for Meso-American civs, and Greek/Egyptian/Roman polytheism.

Find a bug with the priest while playing egypt...

I can't use great priest to serve as special citizen in any egyptian city

I can only use priest out of cities...

EDIT : i know that why, i have not yet discovered Priesthood ;)

NEW and "MAYBE" FINAL version of mine mod is uploaded on 10-december.

See the Main PAGE to see what's NEW!

Great! I will play test soon and give you my comments, thanks for taking some of my suggestions into consideration. I hope this isn't the last version! hahah.

Wow ! It seems to be nearly perfect !

I will give a try !

:goodjob:

Thanx Guys. At Least, map balancing is still a problem... Maybe in the future I will delete another European Civilization for another South American Civ. Not enough space for everybody :mad: :sad: :lol:

Actually i still did some little modifications for Greenland area and Tibet area,
And add some "booster resources" to Celts, Portugal, Greece, Bizantines and Rome... A "Better Balanced Map" is very difficult to do alone...

Any Ideas are appriciate after you played the mod...

A problem with Barbarians : why do you have placed barbarians settlers ?

Because barbarian ai dont use settlers, you should preplace barbarians cities on the map...

How work your progress in the next version of your Mod/Map/Scenario ?

The religions ?

I have a big problem : i'm Justinian I i have christian holy city and alll my neighbours and even far civs have christianity and the civs are not very warriors...

I'm the highest score in the world and also the best power of the christian nations...

You should really use preplaced holy cities, should be more wars with more religions...

A problem with Barbarians : why do you have placed barbarians settlers ?

Thanx a lot for the REPORT Lachlan!!! :goodjob: I already fixed the problem, adding 8 Barbarian Cities around the world: 2 in North America, 1 in South America, 2 in Middle Asia, 1 in Greenland, 1 in Africa, 1 in Siberia... BUT i still don't Upload the map cause I'm still in Playtesting...


How work your progress in the next version of your Mod/Map/Scenario ?
The religions ?

I'm justing FIXING MAP resources and plots so I can render the game more various at each game... (For example, Mansa Musa will not be ALWAYS the best in the new version I'm editing)...

For what about religions, I must admit that cause the 5 new resources and the Inquisitor unit, the PHYTON and the GAMEFONT.TGA are already ALTERED and I think is a job that is OVER my skill... However My idea is very hard to realize: At least 10 religion in game, but only 7 of them can be researched, CHOOSED, and founded, so at each time we have some differents faiths in game... :lol: :lol: :lol: Wich one I CAN PLAN TO ADD???


I have a big problem : i'm Justinian I i have christian holy city and alll my neighbours and even far civs have christianity and the civs are not very warriors... I'm the highest score in the world and also the best power of the christian nations...

Stop Playing NOBLE skill, and set difficult to PRINCE or on MONARCH... (Monarch is too hard to play! Is a NIGHTMARE!!! :eek:)


You should really use preplaced holy cities, should be more wars with more religions...

What about if ALL RELIGIONS is STILL FOUNDED and you play with a Civilization without HOLY CITY? Very hard to MAKE MONEY!!! I think this unbalance the game to civs like ROME, INDIA, CHINA... ecc...

Thanx for comments. :goodjob:

Seems like ATOMIC GAMER don't let me upload the "Debugged" Map I've Done... The Upload always freeze about at 40%...

The size is 126 MB rar archive. I add Diplo Music and Varietas Delectat Files for ALL CIVILIZATIONS IN GAME (Modulars too). I also changed some plots and resources... So every "bug" in game is fixed. That should be the Final Version and I really would to upload and finish all this job...

I'm a little bit :mad::mad: :mad: about this...

Why don't you upload in database of civfanatics.com ? is free or not ?

Think CivFantics has a 10 MB limit.

Have you tried breaking up download file groups (Music separate since maybe a lot and VD separate MOD)?

Think CivFantics has a 10 MB limit.

Have you tried breaking up download file groups (Music separate since maybe a lot and VD separate MOD)?

Yes, CivFanatics has 10 Mb limit. I think that breaking mod in pieces will be not a good idea to people that have no skill with "Files Management" and in "Merging Mod Pieces".... :(

At least I can just upload the map without any Modify applied to the XML files... :( :( :(

You should try http://rapidshare.com/

HI. Thanx for suggest Lachlan but seems to be 100 MB max upload and my mod is 126 MB... So Unlucky!!! :( :( :(

HI. Thanx for suggest Lachlan but seems to be 100 MB max upload and my mod is 126 MB... So Unlucky!!! :( :( :(
Just split your mod in 2 parts...
If you really need other means to upload it in 1 huge part I may be able to provide you with a fast server.
But this really depends on the traffic it generates...

If you're interested just contact me via PM and I'll give you FTP access.
(If it generates too much traffic - even so the server can take pretty much - I'll remove it after some time...)

Yeah - I'm really THAT desperate for your Map/Mod ;)

http://www.filefront.com/ No limit of Mo it seems...

OK, I have a good new... :)

Here's what I add in my Final version (that I still can't upload :mad:)
Probably It depends from my E-DSL connection that sometimes Break Down and stop the upload... (:mad: )

- Added INQUISITOR LIMITED RELIGIONS MOD by Bmarnz. (Civilizations can found just ONE RELIGION!) (Specially for Lachlan :lol:)

I finally FIX the Limited Religion problem I had on my mod. Now seems to work so I add this one Instead of Inquisitor 1.6...

- Added VARIETAS DELECTAT 3.1 effect changes to MODULAR CIVILIZATIONS

(So, for example, now Masaai are BLACK SKINNED as ZULU...)

- Barbarian CITIES ADDED replacing Barbarians SETTLERS.

(So now Barbarian cities try to "retard" the over-rise of some civs)

- FIXED some MAP PLOTS for BALANCED GAMEPLAY.

(This also let some Civs to have more resources... For example I add 2 Horses resources in America)

- Added Varietas Delectat 3.1 to the MOD

(So, now You don't need to merge It to my mod cause is still included in it...)

Actually, I'm trying to upload this final version...

Too bad multiplayer doesnt work.

Too bad multiplayer doesnt work.
It doesn't :confused:
I want this one especially for multiplayer... Allready started a game MP game and it worked - but that was just a test and I didn't play much into it...

Really? How did u get it to work then? I installed it on mine and my brothers pc.. Then I loaded the mod on both, clicked multiplayer, and loaded scenario (the edited map) and then waited in the staging room. But my brother couldnt see me in the staging room, and I couldnt see his game in the staging room when he tried the same.

So we just sat down and fantasized about how cool it would be if multiplayer would work for us. Still, I am very surprised you got it to work! The question now is...HOW?

Good work Liambane :)

My adsl connection make do it too time in time...

Too bad multiplayer doesnt work.

Hei, alireza1354 I remember that you on my old "Earth 31 Civs" version had the same problem, but MAYBE I found the solution:
In the Earth 40 Civs.ini file try to set this thing:

; This mod is only for single player games
SinglePlayerOnly = 0

Try to change SinglePlayerOnly = 0 to SinglePlayerOnly = 1

Please let me know if it works.... :goodjob: :goodjob:


FINAL MOD UPDATE!!!! See the main page to download it!

I forgotten that filefront was very slow, = 15/20 Ko/sec :rolleyes:

Yo can ssplit in two files with the same tree of folder...

By example :

1x75 mo ../Earth40Civs/files....

1x75 mo ../Earth40Civs/files....

Anybody know how merge :goodjob:

rapidshare should be ok

I forgotten that filefront was very slow, = 15/20 Ko/sec :rolleyes:

Sweeeeet :)

I just tested it and it doesnt work. The word "multiplayer" cant be chosen. When I return it to "singleplayeronly=0 I can choose multiplayer. But then in the stagingroom, I cannot choose the "new game" option. When I load the scenario to be able to play the world map, my brother cant see me in the staging room although he has the same mod installed. It isnt like that with other mods, but with this one it is :(


Any suggestions?? :)

does it work with bhruics patch?

Any suggestions??

I don't really know... :( :( :( :( Maybe Thork have the solution... Contact him!!!

does it work with bhruics patch?

bhruics patch is STILL INCLUDED IN THE MOD :goodjob:

WARNING! I FOUND A BUG WITH THE LIMITED RELIGION MOD: Seems like only SOME CIVS CAN FOUN RELIGIONS! And others CAN'T FOUND...

I think we will return to the normal inquisition 1.6 version... This story get me mad... :mad: :mad: :mad:

OK Guys I need some help:

Can someone find out WHY the LIMITED RELIGION MOD doesn't work in this mod?

Is very easy to merge my mod to bmarnz mod and I can't understand why it doesn't work.
Any HELP is welcome!!!!
PLEASE!!! Let us make an Earth Map MOD that lots of people can play and have fun!!!

I downloaded this with ~500kb ;)
I only tried multiplayer with direct IP connection and that worked...
Is there some kind of quickfix for the religion problem? I want to start a game this evening but this may be a serious flaw...

Btw I think this doesn't really matter but I just noticed (while trading some CIVS for Barbarians to improve performance) that some starting locations arent correctly specified...
MAGYAR, TIBET, AUSTRALIA, ABORIGINES, ARGENTINA, CANADA, MAASAI, BRAZIL all got StartingX=1, StartingY=1 ...
I'm aware that these are all the custom Civs... just wanted to mention...

edit: some others seem to have 0,0...

I'm uploading a fixed version using inquisitor 1.6... As I posted, I'm unable to fix the problem. Why don't you try? :D :D :D Seems like you have some mod expirience... :D :D :D For What I understand, the error maybe is in the Civ4Religioninfo.Xml ...Maybe.

Should register myself to filefront ? perhaps the debt is far superior :(

Anyway, I dont really have experience in modding CIV... just doing some quick editing using notepad++
Nonetheless, maybe I'll try sometime but don't count on it!

I'm not registered as well... Speed may be luck depending on which server you get...

Damn :mad:
Like I said - I'm not a modder...
I tried to exchange some CIVs for Barbarians but the Map crashes on initializing.
I searched for errors and tryed several solutions f.ex. removing corresponding entryes in the other mod files.
Anyway - even if I only remove 1 Civ the map crashes... :mad:
Got a hint for me? :confused:

First of all, your mod package doesn't include all the VD XML files needed to load the game. I have to copy and paste the \assets\XML\ directory from the VD mod over your mod for this to work. Had to do this last version (38 Civs) to manually merge the VD mod with yours. I think you have some VD files in one of the upper directories to your mod on your system. Hence when trying to load, it doesn't find them in your MOD and loads them from defaults somewhere else (\civ4\bts\assets or civ4\assets\ ?).

From your last version (38 civs), I was not sure why your last mod kept dying at load up of the scenario, so I installed a clean copy of BTS and 3.13 patch puls updated graphics drivers and still crashed. Worked ok without VD, but won't load with VD, so I copied the VD \assets\XML\ files (only ones different than your mod) and worked ok. Same thing this mod version (40 civ full). Any one else have this problem?

Confirmed no religion options in tech for Arabian civ. Will dig around to see if I can get lucky, but hard to figure with all the add in mods.

Weird, if I select Custom Scenario and turn off "choose religion" then I can found Budhism with Arabians even though it doesn't say I can in the tech tree.

Liambane you should really to ask to admin Thunderfall for a space of download for your file on Civfanatics.com as your fill is enough good to be hosted by civfanatics...

Edit : should be my wifi which had the problem... Sorry

HI GUYS. THANKS for REPLIES to ALL OF YOU.

Thork I tried to exchange some CIVs for Barbarians but the Map crashes on initializing.

Try to delete civilizations using NOTEPAD. YOU MUST start deleting civs from CIVILIZATION NUMBER 39 After this reload the map and add barbarians using editor. Note that the civs you clean disappear from the map BUT when you use NOTEPAD the 39th Civ must be Leadertype NONE instead of Brazil. Can't have civs until 38th... This is what you need to do for remove from the MAP the 40th Civilization...

johnjohn First of all, your mod package doesn't include all the VD XML files needed to load the game. I have to copy and paste the \assets\XML\ directory from the VD mod over your mod for this to work.

I know. In the 38 Civs version I told everybody that VD files are missing and that you need to dowload and merge it by yourself... :lol:

johnjohn Same thing this mod version (40 civ full)

In this Last Version uploaded (17-december) VD is INCLUDED. And the modular civilizations I add use VD too... Just dowload it and put in the MOD folder... And play... It's all Inclusive! :lol:

johnjohn I can found Budhism with Arabians even though it doesn't say I can in the tech tree.

Yup, It's true. That's cause you download the LIMITED RELIGION version of my mod... I realized that some civs can found Religions, and Other Civs can't (:mad:) ... Plus the tech tree doesn't say you can (:mad:) . That's why I upload this "fixed" version that don't use Limited Religions. As you can read some post before, this problem is very annoying and I'm still looking for some Good Guy :mischief: :mischief: that Fix it for me, since I'm unable to do this... :D :D

lachlan Liambane you should really to ask to admin Thunderfall for a space of download for your file on Civfanatics.com as your fill is enough good to be hosted by civfanatics...

Thanx for the good words, lachlan!!! For the moment I upload it in another Hosting site... Let's see in the future what's will going on... :goodjob:

However, I think that the version I uploaded yesterday should be FREE FROM BUGS!!! And for the moment should be the final one...

Other plans I have is to ADD the NEXT WAR MOD stuffs and to Fix the LIMITED RELIGION bug... However since now I'm healed, cause I was sick and I had lot of time to "improve my mod", now progress will be SLOWER cause I need to go back to work and return to social life... :crazyeye: :crazyeye: :crazyeye:

What u mean with direct-ip connection? I have 2 pc's in my room, and me and my brother play the game. Can we have a direct-ip connection too?

How does this work? We cannot have an MP game :( Its so frustrating!

Sure you can - its not necessary or wise to use the online services (especially) in lokal networks ;)
First you got to decide who wants to host the game (server) and find out his LAN-IP::
Just hit
start->run-> type: cmd -> type: ipconfig
to get the IP on the server cmputer.
You will get some Info on all your network devices.
You need the IP Adress of your LAN device (which is connected to the router or directly to your brothers PC) - It may look something like this 192.168.0.1 .

Then get into the game and choose direct IP -> the server needs to host/start a game - the client just need to enter the IP and connect to the server.
(The menu-names may differ - didn't check...)

If you need screens or got further questions just ask... :confused:
Also you may need to open up some ports on the router....

Are you sure you're running the newest BTS version? In some previous version custon GFX wasn't allowed...

Running out of ideas :rolleyes:

Hmmm how strange.... Multiplayer indeed works when joining by direct IP connection. Why doesnt LAN work then?

I had to quit MP on this map cause I had a lot OOS..
Had to use a map I less like but works smooth :(

Same problem here... I hope blizzard will give us a 40 civ huge earth map, free of bugs and problems one day...oh AND MP COMPATIBLE!

hi! i really loved the previous version of this map and i was really looking forward to play the current one!

unfortunately the whole game always crashes wenn the map is loading. have it all fresh installed, patch 3.13 and so on

it crashes after choosing civ then when it loads the map and displays "initializing graphics"

- have a P4 3Ghz, Geforce 7600GT (tested both old and newest driver), 2GB ram
- it doesn't matter which civ i choose
- doesn't matter if playing with blue marble or not
- doesn't matter if i make a custom scenario or play the ready-to-go earth40civ scenario

does somebody know why and how to solve it ?? would be great !! normal game is working, it's only a problem with this mod. but i would love to be able to play it !!!!

thanks in advance and merry xmas :)

edit: did a complete fresh install of the game, this time i patched every version before i installed the addons. first the basic game, then patch 1.74 then warlords etc.
result: same problem as before. game crashes after i chose my nation while its loading the map "initializing graphics" .... then windows...

oohh why can't i get it workin'....would be sooo a nice christmas present ... =((

Same problem here... I hope blizzard will give us a 40 civ huge earth map, free of bugs and problems one day...oh AND MP COMPATIBLE!

blizzard.?

If I want to change the leaderhead, what will I do???

:confused:

SonofJah,

Did you look at my post in #91 (previous page this thread)? I had the same problem and that worked for me.

How could I make the list of the civ scores on the right side of the screen smaller?:confused: Every time I meet about 30 civs it starts going off the screen. Help would be greatly appreciated.

Ok, read through the whole thread and no where is it stated the size of the map. Dimensions please?

hey i really need some help, i can load the mod fine, i have BTS 3.13 but after i pic civ and i click Go! it loads half way then an error message comes up saying and error has occered and it has to shut down. (i also have blue marble mod if that has anything to do with it)

Hi all. Long time no write on the forum... I would to say THANKS to all people played my mod.

Hope you enjoy to play it the same way i enjoyed to build it.

Bye all...

How do you install it?:confused:

Same problem as you.

I have the same problem of the error half way through loading

Same problem here, it keeps crashing with 3.13

Crashes for me as well, 3.13, running windows vista 64bit on a core 2 duo machine.

Varietas Delectat v3.6

Needs to be downloaded and placed into the same mod folder

http://forums.civfanatics.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=7358

I did exactly that and it worked.

Hi Guys!
Thanx to keep my map alive...
I hope my job is appreciate by all of you.

I would say that this mod works on my pc also without varietas delectat 3.6
I really dunno why... some time ago it didn't works and now it works... :confused::confused::confused::confused::confused: :confused::confused:

But, if gstommylee said that find a solution... Better! :goodjob::goodjob:

Actually i made some modification to the map... just for more balance.
I think that a day i will upload the modifications i did. :crazyeye:

I merged Varietas Delectat 3.6 to my mod and I did some little modifications to the map.


MOD UPDATED JUNE 11 2008

Now it should works perfectly with any Configuration. Let me know if there are problems...

Different Normal Speed Timing and Techs costs
New Civilizations
whats the different with timing and tech cost? no change with Epic?
could you list new civilization?
is this mod Multiplayer compatible?

whats the different with timing and tech cost? no change with Epic?

the gamespeedinfo.html is edited by myself. In NORMAL speed time will past slower than in normal game and research cost will be high. I suggest you to play this mod with NORMAL SPEED

could you list new civilization?
is this mod Multiplayer compatible?

You can check the new civilizations list and all the changes on the Update log in the 1st page of this thread. I think this mod is MP compatible.... I guess...

July 7 MOD UPDATED!

NOW BTS 3.17 COMPATIBLE!!!!

I tried out your mod last night and it looks great. You have put a lot of effort into it and it is much appreciated. I have a couple of concerns thought before I give in for a game. Firstly, everything is in Italian! Is there an easy way to fix this? I tried editing various xml files, using the Dutch and English civs for testing but the leader names stayed in Italian even if I removed all traces of the Italian names in all the XML files. I saw a few pages back that it looks like the actual map file can be edited? I didn't try that but I was hoping there was some global flag that just needs to be set back to English.

Secondly, have you or anyone tried a marathon game using this mod? I see many of the earth map mods suffer from weird bugs when playing marathon such as the game finishing extra early. I only play at that speed and don't feel like spending a week playing the game only to find that it ends in 1900! :)

Thanks!

everything is in Italian!

OMG! This old bug always come out.... I Apologize but I'm not a PRO modder so I make lots of mistakes... However for remove this annoying bug for non-italian users just go under PrivateMaps in the mod. Right click on the Earth Giant map and edit with NOTEPAD

For remove italian names: (for each Player :p)

Repeat this process for each player in game and SAVE your work in the end.
After this, the game become the language you have!

However I put a map with no italian names in the 1st page. Go check it out.

have you or anyone tried a marathon game using this mod? Thanks!

I never tried marathon cause i set the NORMAL SPEED altered research and years speed that should be accurate for this map. Try normal speed and not Marathon... The game is slower enough in this way i think.

Thx for Bug report! :goodjob:

Sir,I wanna know why don't you make Manchu Civilization and Hun Civilization?I believe that you can make it ^_^.Also,please divide Native Americans into Iroquios\Sioux\Cherokee

This is strange because whenever i download a folder that uses .rar it just goes to windows media player? Do you have any suggestions.. this problem has cause me a lot of problems with not only this but other mods as well.. I don't understand..

Great mod =) ... Would be great if there was a "large" earth map for this one though, I couldn't find one that would work

Great job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
if you add more technologys, it would be made the mod perfect
and there have any updated mod come out?

Liambane, I used your lovely map (altered a bit) for my 1784AD scenario with the Wolfshanze Mod, I hope that's ok.

Thanks. It looks good. Ill check out the English version.

Liam, can you make a version of this mod combined with the BTS AI mod? The AI mod is great, and has so many fixes for the vanilla AI. I don't ever play the game without the AI mod anymore, but I really want to play this map.

Hi all!!!

Long time i don't come here to see what's going on...

WOW :eek::eek: Looks like 1266 people downloaded the mod. :eek::eek:

Thank all of you!!! :goodjob::goodjob::goodjob:

Thanx all of you for download my mod and post ideas.

Dude, my map is still large, but if you need larger one first of all you need a SUPER COMPUTER. However, if you are skilled in modding civilization IV, you can pick a bigger earth map (there are lots) on the forum and convert it in my mod.

Thx man! I used to start this mod with the next war technology and it was good. I don't remember why i removed them from the mod! :confused::confused::confused: Actually i'm not working in another update of this mod, but if you're able, you can do it!!! It's not so hard but I don't have time!

Blitzkrieg80
No problem, dude!!! I like people use my job for their mods. I will try your mod... Seems very interesting!

Civmatrix
Thx for trying my mod. If you find some bugs, please report! Remember that if you don't want italian names, just download the other map :goodjob:

I never tried AI mod for civ4, but i think that it can be easily merged into my mod. Try and see if it works!!!

:mad::mad: Summer Is Over :mad::mad:

Yeah they both have .DLL files, and I have no idea how to make a new .DLL file, or combine the .DLL files... =(

Sorry but i don't have any skill in modding ddl files! :confused:

At least try to overwrite the dll files in my mod and see the result!

NOTE: MAKE A COPY OF MY DLL FILE BEFORE OVERWRITE!

Excellent map. Carthage is actually playable (very rare on an Earth map) and theres no lag .
I have a few quibbles with resource placement but nothing serious, oh, and I'm still getting the Italian names but its not like I can't tell whos who.

edit: I did find Normal Speed still seems far too quick (for me used to playing at Marathon) despite the changes you made to it. Love the Olives.

Excellent map...


Many thx for feedback AmazonQueen...
Resuorce placement is for balance... I quit the idea to put realistic resuorces cause with 40 civs is hard to have a different game experience each time. Some civs becomes always leader in this map...

For the italian names just download the map without italian names in the first post and replace it.

Normal speed is maybe too quick but depend by the "power" of your civilization... However is easy to edit the gamespeedinfo.xml for what you require...

I like olives resource too... That's why i put them...! A Mediterranean Resource... :lol:

does it work with 3.17?

sorry for posting I didn't read change log going to try this out now

Guys I bought Colonizations.... Nice Game... Maybe i will do a mod for that game too...

I just want to give this map my highest recommendation - and bow in front of it author!:bowdown:

Just what I've been looking for: Huge Earth Map where all continents are evenly populated, featuring unique unit skins! Supreme!

You won't mind if I sig this?

Thx a lot my friend!!! :)
I'm happy you like my mod... :lol:

No, thank you! I like it the more I play :crazyeye:
There is an oddity, however. While playing "Giant" map, it appears there is no "Capitulation" option when negotiating peace. Is this feature of the mod (for balance reasons?) and if so, can it be turned off, i.e. can vassals be enabled?
Is this to do with
; No team play allowed
NoTeams = 0

in configuration file?

Hi Yeekim.

Yes, "No capitulation" is an option i choose in my mod.
I choose this option because I realized that civs that are going to lose will always become vassal of other powerful civs. This will never let them eliminated from the game (cause if you attack them, you need to decleare war to their powerful "owners" too... and in a 40 civs map is required that lots of civilizations need to be destroyed for let the game more fun.

For let the Vassal State option enabled you need to load my mod. Choose CUSTOM SCENARIO, then my map Earth Giant and uncheck the box with NO VASSAL STATE.

Hope you understand now.

Mod Updated. Probably this will be the final version...

If no bugs come out... :mischief: :lol:

if there is a possibility to get this map clean with starting points in custom game not with scenarios.? please...? like .py file.?

You mean that continents are unbalanced? :rolleyes:

Well... I don't completly understand the question... However... If you want this map "clean" you can do this:

- Start a new game using this map and choose egypt civilization.
- Enter the EDITOR MODE.
- Clean Civilizations you want and replace them where you want. Edit whatever you want in the map.
- Save the map once you edited and add that map in Private maps on my mod Folder.

I think there's an option that says "Random start location" too... but I'm not 100% sure...

Hope I got what you need...

Mod Updated.

Several BUGS FIXED. Hope this will be the final relase... :lol:

I can start the mod but when I'm loading the map BTS suddenly minimizes and i get a critical error...

I can start the mod but when I'm loading the map BTS suddenly minimizes and i get a critical error...

I'm sorry to hear that... Until now nobody had a critical error with this mod so I don't know the solution... It can depends from a lot of things...

Video Driver... Operating System... DirectX...

I'm sorry but I don't have idea... :(

Same here
I get 2 Errormessages when i start the mod and when i start the map. Singleplayer works fine though, but it crashes right after loading in Multiplayer games.

:cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry:

thanks did it. everything is cool now. it was before too, but there were some countries that i didnt want so i asked for clean version.

I get 2 Errormessages when i start the mod and when i start the map. Singleplayer works fine though, but it crashes right after loading in Multiplayer games.

I'm sorry dude. This map is basically build for single player game... In older versions, as you can see in the thread, some people played in multiplayer so it is possible! Newer version just update map or add stuffs, without touch anything about the game code... So it should keep work the same! As I still said it can be DirectX, Video Driver, Operating System... I don't really know! :confused::confused::confused:

thanks did it. everything is cool now.

I'm happy to see everything is ok now. As I wrote, you can edit my mod as you wish... Thx for feedback (hope that you have rated the map.... :rolleyes:) Enjoy! :goodjob:

Okay after analysing the errormessages i was able to repair them.

For some reasons the mod does not know the color "lime". So i just changed them into green. I don't get the errormessages anymore and i am know able to play the multiplayer with friends :D

Nice Mod btw! Keep it up ;)

PS: if someone have the same problem-> here is the solution

Open "Tupi_CIV4PlayerColorInfos.xml" in "Earth 40 Civs\Assets\Modules\Custom Civilizations\Tupi"

Then Replace <ColorTypePrimary>COLOR_PLAYER_LIME</ColorTypePrimary>
into <ColorTypePrimary>COLOR_PLAYER_GREEN</ColorTypePrimary>

Same with <TextColorType>COLOR_PLAYER_LIME_TEXT</TextColorType>
into <TextColorType>COLOR_PLAYER_GREEN_TEXT</TextColorType>

hope i could help some of u ;)

I've played this mod in a earlier version in multiplayer, but my friend had the problem that the game crashed quite often. With this version and my fix it works fine on both sides ;)

That was quite simple to fix. Instead of change color, you can also define the color LIME in Civ4ColorVals. But the important is that now it works.

Nice Mod btw! Keep it up

Thx Dude. Happy to read that. I think that who like to play "Earth Maps" will like this mod for sure...

Happy to read that multiplayer works too... :lol:
Thx for feedback. :goodjob:

Looks nice, it's a shame that Play.com cancelled the ordered CivIV BtS. I have been waiting since april this year and i did'nt know about it.

You're a quality modder Liambane... Hurray for the Italian
