Does anyone know of an interface modding guide of any kind? There are a bewildering number of interface files in different folders and modding them is making my brain hurt.

I'm wondering what first steps everyone takes in the editor when setting up a new mod in terms of creating a clean slate. This is assuming the mod will change all/most aspects of the game such as an Epic mod or a scenario set in one time period or in space or whatever. I tend to delete all...

In another thread I started discussing ideas with @Oni Ryuu for an RPG mod that I have been thinking about making for many years. I thought I might start a proper discussion thread for it. I would be very happy to have anyone help and ideas from anyone who is interested. These posts from the...

Units with zero defense can be captured, right? Like artillery units? Does the civ doing the capturing have to be able to build the unit to capture it? Could this be used for a kind of weapons trading?

Having trouble finding Stico's city sets. Are they available anywhere? I think I have them somewhere buried in an external hard drive. Is there an issue with me uploading them? It looks as though Stico may have taken some/all of his content down for some reason and I don't think they were ever...

As part of the development of my Epic Mod I've always wanted to create a new terrain pack to accompany it. I've decided to create it using the graphics from the amazing cross-platform FLOSS game 0.A.D, which if you haven't played then you absolutely should. All comments/advice/criticisms...

Below is a method for installing Civ 3 on GNU/Linux if anyone else like me uses this as their OS rather than Windows/Mac. OS: Fedora 25 Civ versions: Civilization 3 Gold Edition (includes Civ 3 and Play the World), Civ 3 Conquests What works: Everything so far, but only briefly tested...

I'm installing Civ 3 again after a long time without it. I can't remember if I need to install all patches or just the Conquests 1.22 patch. I have discs. Civ 3 Gold edition (Civ 3 and PTW) and the Conquests disc. After I install Civ 3 Gold Edition do I need to run the patches for Civ 3 and...

I don't currently have a computer I can run Civ on so can't check things for myself unfortunately. Is anyone able to remind me or check for me whether it is possible to switch off the negative affects of nukes. Ie. bad reputation with others and most importantly global warming. Are there...

I've always wanted to supply military units to allied civs. I've thought of two ways to do it but haven't tested them. Method One: Trading the Default Capture Unit Make the default capture unit (by default a worker) something like "small arms" or "weapons". The default capture unit is the...

I want a map that is maximum size (362 x 362) and all one type of terrain. In the past I've had to generate a random map and then go in and make it all one terrain type. Is there a faster way because that takes ages. Alternatively does anyone have some templates they'd like to share? A 362...

It's always bothered me immensely that you select a civilization and then on a random map you can start off in any terrain and it may completely miss-match your culture, eg. Scandinavia in the desert. I've had an idea but it has many downsides and potential problems. I'd like to put out some of...

I'm currently a librarian at a university library and as such have easy access to academic books and a vast number of online journals. So, I'm wondering if anyone would like help with research for mods they are working on. Post here if you're interested or send me a private message if you...

This is a simple combination of two of tom2050's great units. I've added his weakness spell flc to the cast flc for his nightbringer unit with SSB. Hope other's find it useful. DOWNLOAD Preview: (Gif is slower than the real thing and colours are better)

I don't know a great deal about modern warfare so I would like some advice about the difference between rocket and regular artillery. So: a) What are the real life differences; especially in relation to how they are used. b) How can they be differentiated in game. c) Is the progression of...

Does anyone have these units? They aren't in the database. See the following post from this thread where Sword of Geddon posted most of riptide's Battletech mechs.

What is the buildings limit? I have 128 in my head. Is that right?

I'm wondering if there are some good methods for adding shadows to building graphics I do. Bearing in mind I'm doing them with cut and paste methods. Also, I made this. What do people think? Does it look right? To make it, all I did was cut a shadow shaped chunk out. Massively decrease the...
