, the game play MUCH better now, didn't reply till now cos I got involved in a brill game as Portugal.. ) on every tile producing at least one commerce I just know would personally be too easy for me. So even farms by rivers get 2 in 4000 odd BC. Its more than vanilla, which demands either a resource (wine for example), or a cottage by a river (or hamlet elsewhere), or coast/lake to get its 1 extra bonus. I've personally changed it to 1 extra on anything producing 3 or more. And besides taking away coast/lakes, all that does is kick the bonus back till a little later in the game (i.e. hamlets / riverside, villages elsewhere)..The resources (I had cotton and incense by Lisbon), still get the bonus immediately...I also managed to knock out the Colossus which immediately game me 2 extra on all coast/lakes (as the base 2 becomes 3 and then the bonus kicks in)...... 
I fixed it. Looks like there is a problem with the "DCM Status Popup". Probably a spacing error, knowing Python. So for now I just "#" the bit of affected code, thereby disabling it for now.
Did I ever tell you how much I hate mucking about with Python?
Anyway, here is a quick interim fix until the next patch.
What I did was this:
In CvEventManager.py:
Code:##### DCM Status Popup START # for iPlayer in range(gc.getMAX_PLAYERS()): # player = gc.getPlayer(iPlayer) # if (player.isAlive() and player.isHuman()): # self.DisplayDCMStatus() ##### DCM Status Popup END
and this:
Code:##### DCM Status Popup START # def DisplayDCMStatus(self): # popup = PyPopup.PyPopup(CvUtil.EventDCMPopup, EventContextTypes.EVENTCONTEXT_ALL) # szTitle = localText.getText("TXT_KEY_DCM_TITLE", ()) # szText = localText.getText("TXT_KEY_DCM_TEXT", ()) # szText += "\n\n" # szText += "Air Bombing: " # if (gc.getDCM_AIR_BOMBING() == 1): # szText += "On\n" # else: # szText += "Off\n" # szText += "Battle Effects: " # if (gc.getDCM_BATTLE_EFFECTS() == 1): # szText += "On\n" # else: # szText += "Off\n" # szText += "Civ Customiser: " # if (gc.getDCM_CIV_CUSTOMISER() == 1): # szText += "On\n" # else: # szText += "Off\n" # popup.setHeaderString(szTitle) # popup.addSeparator() # popup.setBodyString(szText) # popup.launch() # # def DCMBegin(self, argsList): # self.DisplayDCMStatus() # return # # def DCMApply(self, playerID, userData, popupReturn):
By disabling the DCM Popup window, I allowed the Dawn of Man screen to pop back up again.
This is only and Interim fix... I should have this working by the next patch.
Grave:- Firstly
Lastly though, sorry Financial extra 1
Hey Grave, unless you want to use CivCustomiser, there's no need for the status popup code.
on plots just producing 3 or more, then just overwrite the HiTM Civ4TraitInfos.xml file with this attachment, which does precisely that (path is C:\..........\Beyond the Sword\MODS\HISTORY IN THE MAKING\Assets\XML\Civilizations\Civ4TraitInfos.xml)....Grave:- A question on "discovered resources".....I just popped Hit Singles as shown in the screenshot (from the town due south of Assyrian):-
Spoiler :
Yet it shows neither in Assyrian's city screen nor as a resource in the trade screen here:-
Spoiler :
I'm wondering if this is because I haven't yet researched Rock n' roll tech, or because its not working properly.
If you (or anyone) wants to temporarily change Financial trait to +1
You know, I'm not sure, really. This is still kinda experimental... thanks for being the guinea pig (meant in the nicest of ways).
It could be because you haven't discovered the PreReqTech for Hit Singles. But if that's the case, it shouldn't have popped up. How much longer do you have to discover it's PreReqTech?
Also, I have no idea which Leaderhead you were. I'm guessing you were Portugal, but I didn't see Joao II on there anywhere.
Yeah, I think I'll do that for the next patch.
Artillery is NOT about killing. Artillery is simply to confuse and restrict.
Never in the history of siege/artillery weapons have they been a "killing" weapon (like a rifle or bayonet or sword are). Siege weapons are used to batter fortifications whilst artillery is used to restrict the options of the target. In modern times, modern artillery guns perform both roles to an extent (since WWI). Before that the roles were performed by different engines.
For instance, in medieval times, a siege weapon was the trebuchet, whilst an artillery weapon was the ballista. In modern times, a howitzer is more of a siege weapon, whilst a field gun is mainly an artillery weapon (even though both can perform both roles).
Anyways, artillery (in terms of both types) are not directly responsible for killing, the type of armament is (eg: splintex, phosperous, gas). But 95% of the time standard HE (high explosive) is used in in shell or rocket-assist methods.
HE is not designed to kill, its designed to break up a formation. It confuses the enemy (due to smoke, noise and shock) whilst at the same time restricting the options of the enemy.
)
Again, this is about range. At close quarters any artillery is deadly. And "the 88" is an illustration of this; that's why I mentioned the use of it. (Your quote is another illustration of this. It would be interesting to look at statistics on artillery at long range. For example, in WWI and WWII artillery barrages often did not break up enemy formations, nor their will to fight.) It seems to me, we actually concur - save for the details.
