Upgraded to Win 11 and happy to report that Civ V + DLL-VMC plus 175ish mods loaded a saved game without issues

Never ceases to amaze me how many bugs there are in it! Never noticed this one before Shanghai is built on a hill, the crossbow men can hit any of the barbies. Not unreasonable as we can assume the crossbow men are on top of the city hill - nothing wrong with that ... But a more...

Late era ranged units can bombard tiles and "pillage" them. Battleships, Bombers, Artillery and Guided Missiles will "pillage" improvements and routes (for no gold) Missile Cruisers, Stealth Bombers and Rocket Artillery in addition to "pillaging" the improvement/route also have a chance to...

I was going to title this "Adventures in Obtaining Unobtainium" … So I've got a shiny new Windows 10 64-bit laptop :) Steam and Civ V are installed, my mods are installed and I'm playing :) ... I even have the SDK downloaded and FireTuner working ... so I'm also cheating ;) ModBuddy next...

Been playing some Civ V and a bit of Civ BE recently and missed the "cities can work extra tiles" effect from combining certain artefacts and then adding the building to a city … so kinda translated it to Civ V Tech - City Automaton Workers "Upon researching Machinery cities gain an automaton...

(No don't get excited, I'm not back ...) As I keep being asked ... altering any of my mods to make them compatible with other mods (eg EUI) is permitted and counts as "creative additions" under my fair usage policy. You may freely publish and upload such changed mods (a credit for the original...

For those that can't be bothered to work out all 20 combinations of 6 artifacts (or 56 combinations of 8 artifacts!) Pick the reward you're interested in Cycle all the possible combinations of getting it

ModBuddy's support for Lua is not great. Most people write Lua and then start up the game to test it - which is a poor way to find syntax errors. There are several alternatives, mine is 1) Download and install "Lua for Windows" 2) From the Lua option now in the main menu, select SciTE 3) From...

Could someone make the red clenched fist ([ICON_RESISTANCE]) into an 80x80 size (internal is 52 IIRC) icon for me please? TIA W

Adds an overlay to the SV map showing unimproved luxuries (anywhere in the empire) unimproved strategics (anywhere in the empire) improvable bonuses (within range of a city) improvable tiles (within range of a city) upgradable roads (when Railroad researched) Download from my...

(Requires v81 or later of "DLL - Various Mod Components", and probably of more interest to Total Conversion modders.) Background City State quests (clear a barbarian camp, bully another city state, discover the most techs, etc) are all hard-coded in the DLL. Adding one is not possible...

In the standard game, a civilization must have at least two uniques (otherwise the setup screens glitch out) and a civilization with more than two uniques will only display the first two - picking in the order units then buildings then improvements. This pseudo-DLC (for BNW only at the moment...

Just thought I'd throw this out there (partly so when I next search for the answer, Google will find it!) Given a function abc function abc(iData1, iData2) return string.format("Data1=%i, Data2=%i", iData1, iData2); end and some data values local i1 = 40 local i2 = 60 we can call it...

Replaces the "10-point star" on the Tech Tree buttons with specific icons to visually indicate what each bonus is, without having to mouse-over to read the tool-tip. (Flick between the second and third images below for before and after pictures.) Many, many thanks to DJSHenninger for...

I've finally had enough of mistaking one "8 pointed star on a blue background" for another in the tech tree and have come up with a database driven way to give each tech enhancement its own icon - and only default to the star if nothing else is available Except it's a well known fact that a...

SQLiteSpy is a third party utility for executing SQL statements directly against an SQLite database (.db) file. This tutorial covers the basic use of this utility for testing Civ5 SQL statements outside of the game environment. First we need to download the utility Go to SQLiteSpy -...

The common way to add a new era is to place both it and its associated technologies directly into the database at absolute positions, eg era 5 and techs at grid X positions 9 and 10. While this is simple and works when playing with a single era adding mod, it breaks completely if a player...
