Yes, you are just being whiney, but so were the real theater commanders. :D Have you ever heard what Admiral King supposedly said? "I don't know what the hell this logistics is that Marshall is always talking about, but I want some of it." I think transports had a 6-month turnaround to go from...

The new version is out! Check the DB entry for the link. The readme file has the full list of changes in Beta 2, but there are so many that I wanted to single out several for explanation. First, for modders, there are three entirely new unit models: D4Y Judy - remodeled version of...

Good news! I have finished work on the second beta for 3.19, which includes a major art overhaul as well as several new units: the A5M Claude, Brewster F2A Buffalo, P-36 Hawk, D4Y Judy, and Fairey Fulmar among others. Also included are some entirely new models that I made with GeneralMatt, as...

Oh, there is one other file you need to modify -- CvEventInterface or something. (I forget the exact name, but don't have Civ in front of me atm to check.) It's the basic Python file that controls what happens when a non-random event is triggered. What you want is the function...

You need three or four different Python files for it to work, as well as a modified Units XML that has the original GP names removed. It's been years since I played HitM so I don't remember for sure. I think they all had CivSpecificGreatPeople in their file name, so they shouldn't be too hard to...

@Brashin: Blame Dale for the no XP when sinking ships. :lol: It's part of DCM. I can put it on my to do list, but it will probably take a while. The F6F graphic is actually what's used for the F4F, since they are similar looking planes. The reason for that is dutchking's original (and only)...

It's all part of my master plan to divert your attention while I attack from Siberia. :mischief: All kidding aside, a megathread in MP would probably be just the ticket to finding more players. People could ask without having to create a new thread each time or interrupting games in progress...

Yes, the reason is that it was designed for MP, so there wasn't a need for ultra high difficulty levels, which would only unbalance the scenario even more when your enemy is human. Plus, I wanted it to mirror the real war situation as closely as possible, and huge production bonuses defeat...

That is the way to do it, but I wouldn't advise playing against the AI under any circumstances. It's just too poor to handle naval combat effectively. Find yourself a couple of friends and play online instead. :)

Sorry for taking so long to reply. I don't get on CFC regularly, as you can tell. :) The unhealthiness issue is not really a glitch, just a byproduct of the very large size of Japanese cities. Eventually you run into a practical growth limit. I was aware of it during testing but it was never a...

Thanks! Though admittedly, playing one turn doesn't tell you a whole lot. :lol: Most of the good stuff comes later. I'm glad you brought this up because this was something I was unsure about. There are a bunch of pre-placed units that are greatly overpowered given their historical size and...

The new version is finally out! You can find it in the download DB: http://forums.civfanatics.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=8171 Due to the much larger download size, it's hosted at Filefront this time. Comments on balance will be especially appreciated. :) There are still a few odd bits here...

Wolfshanze left because he was very dissatisfied with the moderating on CFC. The last I saw of him was two years ago when I asked for some unit stats he used in Pacific General. I doubt he'll be back.

Thanks for the link, Arian. It always makes wonders feel more official when you have a movie to go with them. I guess that's one of the few times the movie came before the actual wonder, though. :D

The Empire State Building "The Empire State Building is a 102-story landmark Art Deco skyscraper in New York City at the intersection of Fifth Avenue and West 34th Street. Its name is derived from the nickname for New York, The Empire State. It stood as the world's tallest building for more...
