(Despite encompassing current events, I figured this provides the antithesis to the much-memed Carlson interview. I debated whether to post it to A&E as a showcase of exemplary citizen journalism, or World History for subject matter; mods can move as they deem most relevant, as long as it's not...

I don't know how many people have played the Extended Original mod as the Centaurans, but poking through the events file I discovered that there isn't a reciprocal mission to Earth. Instead, the spaceship arrival script applies to all civs, so the aliens end up colonizing their own planet...

Spun off from my posts in the Modified Scenarios Workshop thread, this is a progress tracker for my work to update the original MGE scenario roster for compatibility with Test of Time. It also serves as a sounding board for input on rebalances and graphical updates. The plan is to post...

Civ 2.5 is a mod idea I've harboured for a while to back-port Civilization III into Test of Time. This is an early demo to test the preliminary design; it is built on the base game with quality-of-life features from TOTPP. Current features include: All base game units from Civilization III...

"The Day After" is a scenario by Dorian Credé for Fantastic Worlds that I first discovered through @Blake00's archiving efforts here. Essentially an advanced vanilla start with a post-apocalyptic flair, it was basically playable except for one key oversight: the horrendous level of on-map...

Apologies in advance if this is a repost; I tried searching for like discussions but didn't find anything quite matching my situation. A Civ2 retrospective prodded me to dust off the OG, and I've run into a bug I don't think I've ever seen before: When trying to change city production, the...

Previously, on "What Music are You Listening To?":

I first ran Civ2 on a Win3.1 rig so old, for years I never knew units had sound, and the end-game flag always glitched such that the score would keep tallying past a victory condition or the mandatory retirement year. I'm no stranger to strange behaviour. But I've never known anything like...

Thanks to various user patches, many of Civ2's original engine limits have been overcome: a game map can cover over 30,000 tiles, thousands of units and hundreds of cities. Suffice to say, the original 20–30 city namelist average starts to feel inadequate. Several weeks ago I started musing...

One year ago, my computer suffered an accident that led to rapid degradation of system integrity, culminating in total boot failure. I have been trying to recover the hard drive ever since. Initial attempts to back up the disk were aborted as the software kept encountering read-errors...

While the Xenforo transition was relatively smooth in terms of translating URLs, during a comb through the Downloads Database I found a hiccup. Apparently there was a lesser-used variation of showthread.php during the early site (ca. 2004) that isn't properly redirected...

After years of forgetting the date, I can finally reveal the long-awaited KIOT3 trailer! :bday:[party]:cooool: p.s.: is terralec still a thing

As the official Conquests WWII scenario demonstrates, you can make a nuke an air unit with air bombard and it'll still work as a proper nuke. But does anyone know if a nuclear aircraft (with a proper DEF value) can be intercepted on attack, or does the nuke flag override normal air combat?

Woot's oop everyoone, Ubik the greatest modmaker GAME DESIGNER of all time here with my latest project: the IOT Civ3 Mod! I might have started something like this earlier, but that my desktop was out of commission. While I can mod Civ4 in the sense that I know how most of the components work, I...

Signal boosting as I know at least Curt hosts his work there. tl;dr: Photobucket pulled an ImageShack but worse, and now expects ~$400 USD per year for hotlinking privileges. Plus Accounts are supposedly good until end-of-2018, after which they have to pay in too.

MARCH, 2017. The world struggles to rebuild after a cascade of calamities. Between organized crime's assassination of the President of the United States and the Mexican invasion, and NATO's campaign against the radical hoplitejoe's rhinoceros insurgency and the Namibian civil war, the last thing...

It is truth universally acknowledged, that a single Thorvald in possession of a mutable game, must be in want of a mod. In a chat session yesterday I mused an IOT-inspired mod for Hearts of Iron IV, and in classic fashion next thing I knew I was swamped with suggestions, mostly revolving around...

Back in the vBulletin days, users could adjust how many posts appeared per page in a thread. When CivFanatics was migrated to Xenforo, it defaulted to 20-per-page (also the vBulletin default). I don't know if this could be changed in user preferences, and since I was using 20 I never bothered to...

Welcome to the actual, official, OP-belongs-to-the-devs development thread for the Imperium Offtopicum Civ4 mod! Started by Reus, this project aims to codify the IOT community and its most cherished memes within Firaxis' popular genocide simulator turn-based strategy game, Civilization IV...
