    Fog of War

    Hi modders. I'm wondering if anyone is working on a mod to change the fog of war. to be clear I mean the fog on the map you have explored but no longer have line of sight on, NOT the unexplored map. Changes I'd be interested in are making it more transparent, more colourful, less flat etc. I...

    Is there any fog of war mods?

    I had a quick search of the sub forums to see if there are any FoW mods out there but couldn't see any. I'm looking to make it more translucent and colourful so its actually possible to see the what is out there when looking at the map. As it is currently its terrible. I have no idea if its...

    Stellaris

    I don't know if you guys have been following Stellaris (DDs here and videos here) but I have and I'm pretty exited about the combo of a space 4X and a PDX grand strategy game. I particularly like that they say that by the end of the game you won't have settled every planet there is. If you...

    Installing W10 on a Samsung 950 PRO

    HI. I'm about to start a new build using a ASRock H170 mobo that supports booting off of a NMVe M.2 drive. I've brought a Samsung 950 PRO and windows 10 on a DVD. Not all of my components have arrived yet but I decided to read up about installing W10 on the M.2. It seems that everyone talks...

    RimWorld

    Didn't see a dedicated thread to RimWorld so I thought I'd start one. RimWorld is a game in development that is mostly being developed one guy. Its set in a universe where the speed of light is the absolute constraint on how fast matter and information can travel so that space colonies are...

    Dot map for CiVUP

    Hi guys. I've been playing with the CiVUP recently and I'm loving how it combines some of my favourite UI mods. So thanks for that! One of the things I really miss from the civ4 BUG mod is the dot mapping tool. I especially miss it as for reasons that escape me, Firaxis didn't include the...

    Victoria 2 Gold Edition

    A word of warning! If you are thinking of getting Vic2:gold (includes AHD) then I suggest you don't. It is not released by Paradox and doesn't contain the AHD expansion only the vanilla game. Paradox, the retailers (at least Amazon and their partners) and I guess the 3rd party maker of this...

    Civs to include or not include at set up

    As it stands you can select which civs you may want to play against during the setting up of a game. However I think it would be handy to include a simple check box system to say which civs you don't want to include. Examples of this would be not including DLC civs if you want to roll a...

    On line mod list not showing

    Since the game updated to .332 (?) I can no longer see any on line mods from the in game mod browser. I can still see the mods I've already installed. I tried reinstalling the game but to not avail. I'm not keen on a total clean reinstall in case I can't get the mods I'm already using and...

    How to make archers more attractive

    A simple solution to a simple problem. Introduce a new unit or two. Xbows could upgrade to something like a sniper in the mid/late renaissance. Give it a bonous against melee units, say 15%. Upgrade sniper into a mortar or .50 cal antimaterial sniper with a bonus against non armored units...

    How to speed up cultural wins?

    Yesterday I decie to do something about the fact that the only victory (apart from time) I hadn't achieved was a cultural victory. I choose Alexander of the Greeks as in my last game I just finished I got fed up of dumping money in to CSs constantly (Augustus diplomatic win). The map was...

    The Rise of Russia

    Hello and welcome to my second Civ5 SG. Sadly my first SG An Island Race has ground to a halt. Luckily I have been enjoying playing Civ5 more now that I was even a couple of months ago. I guess this is down to more experience playing the game, meaning I have started to find ways to play that...

    SG mod. Please help.

    So it occured to me that there are some pretty frustrating issues with playing Civ5 as an SG. It isn't the "game" part of the gameplay that has been bothering me, rather its been the more utility side of it thats been bothering me. It then occured to me that since this is a game that is...

    City name list reset?

    When you rename a city it seems to reset the city name list. I'd need to try more name changes at different points in the list before I can be certain of the exact nature of the reset (previous name or start of list). As you can see I ddecided that in the absense of signs (:mad:) I'd put...

    How to take screenshots as a .jpg instead of a tga

    Not sure if this is the right place to ask this but how do I change the screenshot settings so the image is a .jpg? I know that I can download a converter program but I'd rather they were just taken as .jpg. Thanks in advance for any help!
