I think it's hard to have an entirely coherent set of criteria for what placenames, or components of placenames, appear typical for a civilisation, both for the reasons you outline above and because Civ's concept of a civilisation is fairly ridiculous on almost any sort of close inspection.

Ah! I did wonder what GetArea() actually got you (and what it's used for in the game - map scripts makes sense).

I've had a go at writing a better 'is an island' function at https://gist.github.com/stupidpupil/8a99533ef51fa6e57dfe8e7af8c82bdc if you're interested. The idea is that if you can head away from a city for three tiles in (roughly) the same direction, starting in any direction, without hitting...

Well that was bloody stupid of me. Thanks!

This seems appropriate place to ask, rather than a new thread: <Resources> <Set ResourceClassType="RESOURCECLASS_RUSH"/> <Where Type="RESOURCE_IVORY"/> </Resources> <Resources> <Set TechReveal="TECH_TRAPPING"/> <Where Type="RESOURCE_IVORY"/> </Resources> <Resources> <Set...

One approach might be limit upgrades to the Ancient Era? This seems quite doable by removing <GoodyHutUpgradeUnitClass> from each unit. (Alternatively, you could limit unit upgrade to simply their own era, by removing GoodyHutUpgradeUnitClass from the last 'set' of units of each era.)

I think this is a very interesting idea. My thoughts: War elephants shouldn't be mounted (i.e. they don't receive a penalty facing pike etc.), but melee. Should receive a penalty (50%? 75% even?) against any kind of ranged unit. Should receive no defensive bonuses (similar to mounted?)...

No, Fnugus, as spoooq has calmly explained, he hates you, he hates your family and it's all your fault. I only wish he could find the reserves to throw more meaningless anger and offensiveness into this thread.

To be honest, it'll be more useful once I can work in stuff like: Healing (2) and Moving (5). Although that appears to be more difficult. You should be able to get the same info on worker builds by hovering over the TILE, but I find those tooltips such a pain.

Yep! I've contacted both Gamespy and 2kgames, in the hope that I can at least get v1 removed. (v2 really doesn't change much except the appearance, and 'floors' the movement values.)

<GoodyHuts> <Update> <Set UpgradeUnit="true"/> <Set Tech="true"/> <Set Experience="10"/> </Update> </GoodyHuts> I'd suggest trying that. Yes, self-closing tags, must be self-closing.

How to reproduce: Set worker building an improvement. On each subsequent turn examine the turns remaining. Expected behaviour: 'Turns remaining' steadily decrements (4,3,2,1), and then the improvement is completed on the following turn. Actual behaviour: 'Turns remaining' decrements in the...

Are these lists semi-useless without knowing the format of the callbacks?

That's an event for callbacks when... A unit's current action changes in game. It's not what you're looking for.

You use something along the lines of: Events.EndCombatSim.Add( MyOnCombatEnd ); Whenever a Combat ends, a function you've previously defined as follows: MyOnCombatEnd( m_AttackerPlayer, m_AttackerUnitID, m_AttackerUnitDamage, m_AttackerFinalUnitDamage, m_AttackerMaxHitPoints, m_DefenderPlayer...

I would have a minor update for it, except apparently my "Account was deleted." Super?

Hmm. A couple of issues I've run into. Fractional movement points does look wrong. I'm loath to just Math.floor them (as the game does elsewhere), as while "1.6" does generally act like "1" (outside of Roads and Railroads), "0.8" acts much more like "1" than "0". However, as I say the game just...

I'm fairly sure that Terrain-specific promotions apply depending on the turn that the Fighting takes place in - so the tile of the defender.

That is interesting. I assume that by inspection of the Terra script, it'd be possible to approximate the bounds of the 'New World'. You could then find every Civ with units in those bounds at 4000BC and then apply one of your 'crippling' strategies. Pseudo-units seems sensible for a number of...

Well, I can't say anything better than the screenshot: Still needs work and expansion. Think I can massively improve how it knows when to update the tooltip text (improving compatibility considerably), but I haven't just yet. As ever, bug reports and recommendations welcome. (The other...
