Request for historic and other GEM mods here.

thanks for starting up this thread.

I saw in your scenario's thread that you are adding leaderheads. Who are they? I am intending to add some leaders in the future too.

I want to add more historic leaderheads from CivGold to my scenarios. Here (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?p=6595552#post6595552) are the screenshots.

But out of the CivGold, which did you chose? Obviously, we can't add all of them to GEM.

Oh, you mean that you want to add them to the GEM map, not any of your scenarios? I would leave them as they are now, why change them? I meant that I'm going to add some of them to my 1100 AD, 1300 AD, and later 7th century AD scenarios. If you want to add them to 1500 AD, 1940 AD, and later 200 BC, you can chose the leaders that seem more historical to the time period.

I would definitely add a few to the basic GEM mod, if that's feasible.
That would be great and it would also simplify many things, when creating a scenario.

Speaking of which, do you guys know if the PakBuild utility to open up Amra's compressed files works also for Vista?
The one I found seems to be just for window xps and Arma's Lhs and Civs have to be extracted.

Creatively, I would import the "medieval ones", Arpad, Idris, Vlad, Ivan.
The reason?

Imo the GEM, with a late game scenario, might get tricky....loading-time-wise.
Many units, lof ot tech and variants to be taken into account.
I fear it might get a lot to load and even in between turns.
Unless, of course, we all start to get 4 gb of ram and new processors and increase the virtual memory ;)

That's why I tend to stick to ancient or medieval scenarios and I suggest that early game Lhs might be more appropriate.

My two cents.

How about we go back to the topic of this thread. People can request GEM scenarios here.

My two cents.

The game play of my 1940AD scenario is currently OK i would say. It takes at least a minute or two between each turn, which I think is acceptable. My computer has only 2GB of ram.

In regards to leaderheads, what I wanted to do is add some more 'generic' leaderheads in each era so for what ever scenarios we are building, we can have more choices to label them to what ever names. The difficulty I alway has when choosing leaderhead is that there is too limited to choose from. What i want is that each leader in a scenario to have a corresponding leaderhead that reflects the correct race, the correct era and the correct sex. The graphics doesn't have to be a specifically designed for the leader.

We can't be too agressive in adding leaderheads because each leaderhead weights at least 5MB and it would make GEM to be too huge in size if we do. So my question open up for suggestions is, in Civ Gold (or other existing ones), which of these leaderheads (the graphics) are suitable to be added?

Not sure if this is the right place to ask but...

How do I alter the GEM mod to remove some of the civs? I love this map but using 36 civs slows things down a bit. I'd like to remove a few to make it more like the anicient world (example: no America since they did not exist in 4000 BC).

Thanks!

i'd love to see a GEM mod based around the 1700's (the seven years war). What would even be greater is if it had a revolution type supplement to it (like the revolutionDCM mod.)

Well I've been planning to finish 7th century on GEM, and then for my final GEM scenario to make 1700 AD GEM. I'm not sure about revolutionDCM. Actually, I might make 1700 AD instead of 7th century.

Hi.
I'm trying to do a scenario for my own interest but i'd like to test the balancing with autorun. Did someone no one way to activate autorun under GEM .
Thx

Would graphics PAKing reduce lag/load times? (Personally I feel that 1-2 minutes between actual turns is taking the fun out of it...)

1.) open My Documents\My Games\Beyond the Sword\Civilization 4.ini

2.) look for the lines


; Move along
CheatCode = 0


and replace with


; Move along
CheatCode = chipotle


3.) open the game and create a scenario

4.) choose a minor civ in your scenario to control (one that would not influence the game too much, since it will be destroyed later)

5.) once the game has loaded, open the console by pressing the key next to "l" (usually the ~ key, but depends on your keyboard layout)

6.) type "Game.AIplay 10" to let the computer play for 10 turns on its own. You can replace the 10 by any number you want, of course, or repeat the process more often.

Hope to help,
Ace

Good tip! (Might use that myself next time.);)

i think a 2000 AD game and a version of the Earth 1000 AD from civ 4 for BtS with more leaders and civs, or you should think about a combo of RFC and GEM:crazyeye: keep up the great work with the map and thnx so much for making it:goodjob:

combining with RFC? RFC included a lot of hardcode which is too advance for me! Probably the better way out is to ask Rhye to combine GEM to RFC instead :lol:

Combining GEM and RFC, what a great idea. I'm a little busy with my scenarios and waiting for GEM 5.0 to be updated. When I'm finished those, I might try it.
It would need more civs and at least epic speed.

The problem is that if it was made, only strong computers could play it.

Any chance for Great Admirals? I would like to see more naval academies etc...Now its all done with the Great General, but I would like to see it split.

Furthermore, is it possible for the French to have the Foreign Legion as a special unit iso the Musketeer?

Last but not least, there should be a possibility to actually by and sell special units, for every era there should actually be a special unit that can be purchased and sold..

Ok, very last comment.. The Dutch have pigs at their capital, you should change that to cows really, Dutch cows are famous all over the globe (the black and white ones). And there should be horses as well.. Anyway, best Map ever and please keep 'm coming..

Moo! I second the motion :lol:

i'd like to see a post nuclear apocalypse version of GEM, possibly, you could use some ideas from the Fury Road mod, this might be interesting, but probably too big for most computers

Lean here. It seems this mod is all I play these days. Anyway, I'd like to see either a WW1 senario or a Harry Turtledove Southern Victory (http://images.wikia.com/turtledove/images/0/02/World_of_1914_%28TL-191%29.png map, http://turtledove.wikia.com/wiki/Great_War plot) It basicly revolves around the CSA winning the Civil War, and Britain and France siding with the CSA. Then then buy the Mexican states Chihuahua and Sonara. Here's an alliance map: http://images.wikia.com/turtledove/images/5/52/Alliance_Systems.png



I apologize if I'm being a bother.

Interesting storyline :crazyeye:

Heh. It is rather confusing, as I have found out for myself. Yet, once you read the books, or just the first book, you get the drift quite easly. I was hoping to try something like this in your upcoming 1860 AD scenaro (I'm horrible at speeling, so please excuse any errors) However, this would help greatly. I understand you're very busy with real life, and your other projects, and won't be dissapointed if you don't consider it. Believe me, I myself don't expect it to be done. However, if you ever in need of an ida, you always have that one. Thank you for listening to me ramble (as I'm sure I go on and on)

Moo! I second the motion :lol:

Forgot to respond to this request earlier. Sorry for being so late.

I've just checked the statistic. In fact in 2005, Benelux has produced ~ 17 mil Pigs vs only ~ 6 mil cows. I set both pigs and cows as equivalent to 20 mil heads per unit on the map so thats why Pig is in and cow is out.

But I can see the validity of a Dutch cow to be included. I will add one cow somewhere in Benelux in the next release, if I can find an empty spot there ;)

Yeah good idea, else people might start to ask what the dutch and belgique are using to make:

Edamer
Gouda
Maasdamer
Limburger
Romadur

to name just the most well known.

While the USA might be #1 in raw cheese production (though the EU together will easily top that), you have to head to central-west europe to get real good cheese, basically anything between Germany, France and Itay. Cows (goats and sheeps) to be found there in abundance. ;)

One of my favorite scenarios is the Cold War scenario by jlocke; perhaps you could take on one of those for GEM? That would truly be amazing.

That would be nice too.

( Also pointed out by knigh+: ) The score list on the right of the in-game screen could use some work - once most civs in any GEM scenario are known, the top civs can't be seen anymore! :(

I support this idea.
Unless you play with a resolution of 1600 x 1200 is impossible to view the whole score list on the main window, if you have over 30 civs.

Well, you have WW2, so how about a WW1 senario? Or prehaps work on your 1860 senario?

maybe the scrollable scoreboard in....i forget which mod, but that could be used if some1 incorporated that in, that'd be great:goodjob:

If you can tell me which mod and a link to it, I can see if I can incorporated in.

aha! found it! clickyhope it helps:D

Re: Scrollable scorecard, yes please!

I hope the reason he's not responding is because hes working on incorporating it

I found a mod by someone else that is just the scrolling scoreboard, I'm downloading right now CLICKY!!!

hey dudes,y not make a scene about 300ad and 800 ad,i have rarely seen them.The former is about an era of both barbarian invasion into east and west,the latter is talking about chaos of both east and west 2.All warring states,huge numbers of kingdoms,is really funny,ist it?

Ill be adding a 1955 (cold war/Vietnam war) a 2011 and 2024 (WWIII) scenario if any1 is interested.
If any1 wants a specific scenario just ask and ill be happy to make it

2011 sounds fantastic! Look forward to it - imagine it will be difficult to run on GEM though?

And yeah its somewhat slower, but on my laptop (bought it in '09) it works farely well, probably a little slower as 1940 works, but not that big of a difference, i havent tried it on an older computer so try it and see whatcha think:goodjob:

Oh, I'm probably a little late.

Still I want to post my request. I love using navies on giant maps and have always thought that the variety of naval units is not up to my needs. I really like the naval mod whicht adds many new units such as "siege quinremes" etc.

Maybe there is a chance for this one day.

I also like the idea someone posted here: great admirals who can give xp to naval units, naval academies and so on

Additionally I like the concept of different road types: cart path, road, paved road etc.

Really late, but I'm new here and I thought a WW1 scenario would be great. It would fit in nice between the 1860 and 1940 scenario. It is like the result of 1860 and imperialism and the cause of the 1940 and WW2. Hope you understands what I means. :)

I would love to work on some of the suggestions here, but unfortunately, I really can't spent more time in GEM modding.
