I like this idea a of a "small" mod. I'm thinking of trying to make my own Civ 4 mod sometime; I enjoyed tinkering with the Civ 3 editor, but the complexity of Civ 4 has daunted me. Your "mini mod" approach certainly seems a smarter tact to learning to mod this game for me as opposed to taking...

Very good likeness of former Prime Minister Pierre Elliot Trudeau! I'm really impressed! :goodjob: I once met the man in the late 1980s on my way to classes at McGill University in downtown Montreal. Just a nod and smile from him as he saw I recognized him - it was in the days after he...

Here's a simple solution to *fix* airships: award machine guns the ability to fire one free 1st strike at airships that are attacking a city or fort - the math could allow, say, a 50% survival rate for the airships - and change the upgrade of airships to bombers. Then give bombers, but not...

If you manage to build The Colossus reasonably quickly, the many turns of benefits will make up for losing this wonder with Astronomy. I often beeline for Astronomy so as to be the first to get ocean trade and the first with the ability to colonize regions previously unreachable with galleys; I...

This patch is good news IMHO. I've read every line in the OP's posted change lists and I can tell plenty of issues have been dealt with that I've seen people complained about in the bug threads. However, programmers being human, I will wait a bit to see if there are no glaring oversights or...

Best. Thread. Evar! :thumbsup:

I lived for many years in Montreal so the UB idea is quite funny to me! Seriously, a good UB could be a Seigniorial Manor replacing the Courthouse and awarding both a small commerce bonus and the ability to assign one specialist as a priest. Courer des Bois (a "woods runner" we could call in...

Yes, I think that's a good point there. If not Lincoln, perhaps another leader of a civilization that has late and/or feeble UU and UB?

1962 for the win! :lol:

Thanks TAfirehawk, but bombarding me with long of readme lists doesn't answer my questions! It is easy for you to find information because you know as a team member where everything is. I, as a visitor, have no clue where to start. The Visa mod is obviously (yes, I have been looking around) very...

@ MrWhereItsAt: Thank you for trying to explain things. I figured this mod was a "super-mod" of some kind. I recognozie some names of modders who I saw post things months ago, like TheLopez, Sevo and Rabbit, White, but I don't know their work well as I haven't downloaded any mods yet - I'm just...

WE ARE PLAYING ON RANDOM GENERATED MAPS!! YOU CANNOT ARGUE ABOUT HISTORICAL ACCURACY IF YOUR MAPS AREN'T REAL!! Okay I feel better now :lol: :cool:

Well I just added a the 382nd post to the Canada discussion thread in the General forum. That thread's been going for quite some time; so I voted "Hoo aboot Canada"! :D Btw: I have never ever heard a Canadian pronounce about as "aboot" - must be a myth... :lol:

Hey wow, this thread's still alive! :lol: It's hard to keep a canuck down... I said "no" a long time ago in this thread - only because I think my country is young and has yet to achieve "serious" power and influence in global affairs. We're on the cusp of greatness, but not quite there yet -...

Hi folks, I came to this forum to find out about this mod and I am very surprised that there's no introduction to this mod. There's plenty of great detail and enthusiasm for what looks like a well made mod (I glimpsed at some pics and threads here and there), but there's no "Welcome" or...

Here's a suggestion: have it require a Great Prophet to initialize the project - much like Luther getting things started with his 95 theses; no more than X turns to build it, where X = 50 on a standard map at normal game speed - this way even a weak production civ has a chance to break free via...

Ind + Phi could be toned down "behind the scenes" so-to-say: If there are modifiers on the random generation of the location of Stone and Marble vesus your starting location - and I do not know if there already are factors built in to the game to account for traits and UUs and UBs - then...

Here's my contribution for a new leader trait :) : Adventurous - for those leaders who were courageous in times of peace and exploration. All naval units start with Navigation I, Scouts and Explorer's start with the Sentry promotion in addition to their other defaulted attributes...

That's interesting, these 6 civs today have more than 100 votes each, a top 6 listing per se: Iroquois, Poland, Austria, Israel (mostly ancient I think judging ppls comments), Hittites, and Polynesia. Pretty much in line with most of my suggestions. :) :cool:

Custom Game set-up offer ways to reduce the wild results we don't like and thus can reduce or eliminate the temptation to open the WB... My suggestions: 1) Lock Modified Assets - it's a tough pill, but remember you can reload the game from a previous autosave to "revisit history" ;) 2)...
