    Playing LAN Game with my mod

    I've successfully played a LAN game between the 2 computers of my home network using my own mod. At times it hasn't work, but I found that (after I had made some minor modifications to my mod) I merely needed to recopy the mod from one computer to the other for it to work. The game showed up...

    Mod Based on BUG BAT BULL: Question

    Sorry, to bother you guys here, but I'm not getting much help in the main C&C forum. And, since my mod is based on your mod, I thought you guys might be able to help (if there is some kind of conflict between what I'm doing and your mod). I've made some minor (to start with) modifications to...

    Changing a Starting Civic

    I've made some minor (to start with) modifications to civics (renamed some, moved some around to different categories, etc.). Everything looks good. But now I want to change my starting Government Civic to Chiefdom from Despotism (which is still in). Chiefdom is the old Theocracy (just...

    Combining Better BUG AI and BAT

    Hello, I'm sure most of you know of Fuyu's Better BUG AI in which he combined the Better AI dll with the BUG dll. My question to Fuyu was how to combine Better BUG AI with BAT, since BAT includes some graphics (and other) extras not found in BUG. My guess was that I could successfully...

    Obtaining the Random Map Seed Number

    Hi Folks, I've been away for a looooong time (well, in game years anyway :mischief:). So, sorry if this has already been asked and answered. It seems like I remember way back from Civ III there was a way that, if you liked the random map you were dealt, you could type something in to find...

    Friendly, fun, noob to moderate level game!

    GAME CLOSED I had joined a succession game, but it fell through. Anyway, I would like to start up a new game. I really don't want more than 3 players so that we all get to our turns quickly. This will be a game that you don't have to worry about "mistakes" playing the game. None of us are...

    SOLVED: v1.52: "Failed to load python module CvEventInterface"

    EDIT: Problem solved. Please see this thread. Civ 4 worked flawlessly on my machine previously: 1.09 patch; ATI card with Catalyst 5.10. I wished to install patch 1.52, but I had some custom assets I thought I'd get rid of, including Harkonnen's memory fix. I deleted the files and...

    How do you change weighted scoring factors?

    Does anyone know the file where I can change how much weight is put into the score for various elements like: culture, science, gold, land area? Yes, you can win with a handful of cities, but your score sucks! Too much weight is given to land area and number of cities, so I want to change...

    Mod Artillery to cause collateral damage to units?

    CLARIFICATION: Cause collateral damage to units like bombers do: bombard only --NOT having to attack and sacrifice with them! I thought it would be as simple as seeing how bombers are done in xml and changing the Catapult, Cannon, and Artillery to be able to do the same thing. I see they...

    Events Window (not the current bulky piece of junk).

    I find it difficult to keep track of the event messages that take place while the turn is progressing. In addition, I can't track what's going on because I get locked into the city build screen (selecting what to build next), so I can't scroll the map to where the event took place. I know I...

    How do I Ally with another Civ?

    So, I see a tech that says something like "Permanent Alliances allowed" or something like that, but I never get such an option in the diplomacy screen. The only thing that ever shows up is Defensive Pact. How do you form an alliance? for offensive purposes, of course.

    Resource Display in Diplomacy Screen (F4)

    I love the different tabs and information displayed in the F4 diplomacy screen, but why did you not display how many of each resource you and the others have? You receive this information once you initiate diplomacy. Why not display it before-hand so you know if you actually want to trade for...

    Combat Strategy ??? Tips and Advice!

    So, I understand RTS rock-paper-scissors strategy game play because I can choose who to attack with what. But Civ IV? The computer chooses the best defender for the unit you're attacking with! Someone might say "Use Swords against Archers" and another might say "Use Axemen against Swords"...

    Civics: need modification?

    Are there some of you who aren't exactly satisfied with the civics options --perhaps even as simple as changing a few names. I've just started to think about this, some I don't have any concrete suggestions, but for some reason many of the options don't quite seem right to me. My main concern...

    Could We Please Get Someone from FIRAXIS to Provide Descriptors for XML Tags?

    So the modding community can actually get down to modding instead of spending 1,000 man hours trying to figure this stuff out, could we please get some descriptors of what the different XML tags are for? Some are easy to understand, but some will take a lot of testing to figure out exactly...

    So, No HOTSEAT Play?

    Looking through the release info, I still have yet to see mention of Hotseat as one of the forms of multiplayer. Is it just a matter of hotseat play not being "sexy" enough to mention? Or is this really a bad omen for my wife and I who love to play Civ together?

    Scottish Civ

    Hello everyone, Sorry to bug ya. I've done quite a bit of poking around in Scenarios, Modpacks, and this main C&C forum, but I can't seem to find anyone who's already done a Scottish civ. I already have a leaderhead; I'm just looking for a good city list and ideas for attributes, etc...
