    GDC 2011: Strategy Games - the next move

    I would enjoy playing a version of Civilization that has the AI properly evaluate combat and production challenges. As simple as that. I hope they find someone that can do just that, it is not so hard, I know a few modders in these forums that could do it in a, relatively short amount of time(I...

    GDC 2011: Strategy Games - the next move

    Exactly, my friend! XCOM has hardly any AI! But what it matters is that it looks like the Aliens are smart when tracking down targets and they had included other aspects that made the game competent. The point is not how much you invest, but how smart you do the programming! However, I would...

    GDC 2011: Strategy Games - the next move

    I didn't say it was trivial, I said the programmers could have done a good job if allowed. Current AI is much stupidier than it should have been. It is interesting that from a list of games you picked XCOM. However, I did not say it has a "wonderful" AI I said that compared to what Civ 5 has...

    [FIXED] Peace treaty does not expire

    Actually the file to edit is "C:\Program Files\Civilization 5\assets\UI\InGame\LeaderHead\LeaderHeadroot.lua", as gekke henkie said, but the line to change is if (pActiveTeam:IsForcePeace(g_iAITeam)) to if (pActiveTeam:IsForcePeace(g_iAITeam) and false) as panzerok recommended. Start the...

    GDC 2011: Strategy Games - the next move

    Too bad, since the game is called Sid Meier's Civilization and I did think that this should account for something. Perhaps I am overly sentimental, and think that programmers would care when their names are used to publish untested/half-completed games... Just to clarify, that was exactly my...

    GDC 2011: Strategy Games - the next move

    I see that there is a lot of confusion about how much money should someone "pour" into programming a "great" AI... I have been playing strategy games for years and I can say that the first ones I played (Sid Meier's Colonization, Empire II, XCOM-TFTD, XCOM-UFO Defence, Fantasy General, Panzer...

    Poll: Favorite Civilization game

    I like Civ 5 but it is broken right now. Perhaps after they release 2 expansions and patch the last one up to 3.19,(:rolleyes:) will be as much fun as Civ IV. For now, I voted Civ IV, but I like the concept behind Civ V. I think that Civ II and III were exellent for their time, and I...

    [MOD] Fall from Heaven II

    You should be able to find a shortcut on your desktop reading "Fall From Heaven II". If not, you have to start Civ4-BTS, click on "Advanced" then click on "Load MOD"(or something like that). Fall from Heaven should be in the list. Good luck.

    Fall Further - Download and Current Changelog

    It does not seem to be cosmetic. Copy the link, paste it on explorer and change L to M to get the correct file. http://grahamcox.co.uk/ffh/fallfurther/FF050-PatchM.exe This should be the correct file.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    1)As far as I know, the archmages in FFH gain free xp up to 100XP. After that, they have to personaly fight and defeat enemies, other than barbarians. 2)Yes, it is normal. IIRC, Kael said that if someone had saved great persons long enough to get a benefit from BotF, it was something that...

    Wrong thread, wrong mod. Sorry WarKirby, this is FFH, not FF.

    Fall Further 050 Bug Report Thread

    If it is patch J, download the .dll that is on page 42 and give it a try. I do not think there is anything else you can do.

    Mirror of Heaven questions

    I agree with this. Every religion has some sort of "enlightenment" so, an "Enlightened" is an obvious choice fitting every religion, IMO.

    On Life and Death. Facts and Myths

    I started a thread, on the subject of life and death. What I wanted was to present some thoughts that have come to my mind after many years of reading books of various subjects, hoping for constructive arguments, that would help me, and perhaps other people, better perceive this difficult issue...
