Rhye's of Civilization - the fastest loading mod Expanded

One idea/tweak/complaint on the mod are outposts. I rarely if ever build them, but in my latest game I figured I should put some on islands to keep an eye on passing enemy ships. Well I moved my worker on the island, build the outpost and the line of site was actually *smaller* than that of my worker just standing around on the island doing nothing.

I think outposts should see 2 spaces.

This is not your first post.....You make some great arguements...but please.....don't be a fraud...

AEON..............I read the article in "The Guardian".......mediocre reading but the authur is some college boy with no life experience....almost sardonic...America is the most giving country in the history of mankind.....

Hey Aeon, I read the article and thought it was hilarious

As for England before the Act of Union... England was England before the sodding Normans turned up! Don't believe the propaganda! Long live the Silvatici!

Rhye!

I would love to write a strategy guide piece for the Expansion!
Which nation should I pick and try?

Maybe the Inca? I guess there are some guides in progress, I just don't want to duplicate...

And when will we have a new patch with the new mustang-location?

I have a headache, or I would argue longer against such a change... but changing Byzantium to Scotland would not be too incredibly horrible.

Are you kidding?

CONCLUSION:

1. Rename ‘England’ as ‘Great Britain’ and the other labels to ‘Britons’ and ‘British’.
2. Leader should be changed to either Queen Victoria or Winston Churchill
3. Retain Civ colour as red and capital as London.
4. Rename some of the cities in the Civ’s city list i.e. include Edinburgh, Glasgow, Cardiff, Belfast etc ….
5. In the expansion pack, change the ‘Longbowman’ special unit to a ‘Redcoat’ (perhaps a Highlander Redcoat!) special unit.
6. Make any other changes as necessary that I can’t think of!

What a long post!

1. I'll heard the forum's opinion. If most of the people agree with you, I'll change the name in a future patch (not in this, because I want to release it this morning)

2. I'd really like to change to Victoria, but there are no 3D animated leaderheads.

3. Of course. This is the only mod where England has red as unique colour. Standard civ3 and the rest of the mods give orange! Bleah...

4. It depends on #1

5. No. I will never change that. We're happy with the longbowman.

Sure! Wait some hours before starting a new game (so you have the next patch. Well, the mustang locations are very similar, but one is closer to America)

Here's the collection of the old guides.
In case you choose a civ that wasn't used yet, remember to keep the same length as those.
In case you choose the Incans, there's already a guide, that must be updated to the RoCX settings (so you have to mention religions, the 2nd UU, and any other thing that was added, but mantaining the article length, more or less. You can cut it as much as you need).

Being a Dane, I have my own idea of England. I shall not utter them here - Dan and Angel were brothers after all. I will simply rejoice in the number of red haired Britons.
Well, jokes aside. I am looking forward to the new patch. My illusion of a domination victory was finally shattered when English ( ) tanks rolled into Arabia and California. Those high shipmovements really makes an Empire vulnerable. Nice work. One problem is, that I have often seen AI transports protected by frigates. But the transport, having the highest defence, takes the damage first.

Good point. Well, they should be protected by something more modern than frigates!

Thanks for the zipped guides, I guess others will download it, too!

i can hardly contain myself!

i'm just playing an egyptians game now, and got a scientific leader quite early (ancient age). i forget what wonder i rushed, but i got an early golden age out of it. later in the ancient age, i was at war, and had victories with both UU (axemen) but did not get a second golden age.

is there something in civ that does not allow two golden ages in the same age (eg ancient age), or is the axeman's golden age flag not properly set?

EDIT: just checked .BIQ and the golden age flag is set correctly for axeman... if civ restricts golden ages by age, this could be a serious drawback for a civ like, egypt with two ancient age UUs....

second edit: i see now you only get one golden age. why i never noticed this before i have no idea. apologies for stupid question

EW

The patch 1.1 is available.

Shall we start a succession game?

Please tell me the rules, I've never played it before!

@EW: You only get one Golden Age, no matter what. Sorry!

@Rhye: I guess I kind of was kidding... I did say "wouldn't be too horrible" ;p
...although now that I think back on it I must have been on drugs or something to say anything that dumb haha

Looks like everything! I liked the previous defense of the frigate, but I guess we do have to bow before the vagaries of AI stupidity... I swear, we should be able to b@tch slap some sense into those constructs! ;p

Umm... looks like it'll be a bit before the link does anything... stupid 3D downloads...

EW, a civ can only ever have one single GA.
Rhye, here is a good basic rundown of what an SG is.

Sorry Aeon, I just fixed the link. You only need to download the patch.

Haha ooooh well ;p I had 1.0 anyway I think ;p

If the frigates did not upgrade properly before (I have not used them that extensively to know) then maybe that is the reason for the AI still using them with transports.
