removed expert salt miner (not needed)

added new buttons for LHs

Added new resources: dye, spices, gems, incense they add 1 gold for trade
Added gold to the map as a tradeable item
Added two professions to harvest gold - merchant and gold digger

Added Goths as a barbarian tribe
Added Egyptian colonies

Terrain changed to not naturally produce olives, sheep, and grapes. Now you have to build with an expert worker a vinyard, grove, or pasture and after a few turns it *may* create the bonus that will yield 1 grape, olive, or sheep depending on the tileimp and the terrain. differnt terrains allow either the pasture, grove, or vinyard. PLEASE PROVIDE FEEDBACK ON THIS

Great work, Ekmek!

It doesn't crash when i go to main menu. But you have to rename that map scripts. I got some python errors for black sea and western med because of white space in name. Changing it to black_sea.py and western_med.py fixed it.
New yield icons in city screen are much better. And good work with new technology graphics, they fit perfect. :)
What's next?

I guess fixing the map names is next. I thinking fixing any bugs next is my priority. honestly, I'm kind of getting burned out on working on this (probably evident in how long it took for me to release BETA 5). It is essentially a release except that I'm not sure if any bugs will pop-up. If no bugs do show, I'd consider this the release version.

I think I'll be taking a break for awhile. Anyone else that wants to add or upgrade this is more than welcome to take over for awhile.
 
Wow, I totally love this idea! I should get CivCol so I can play this...

No problem, Ekmek. You already did an amazing job with MN.
I still plan to replace advisors with more ancient looking screens. And I want to make a version that you can play together with AOD2. But will need some time. ;)
 
:goodjob:Good job ekmek.
But is it possible for you to split this version into maybe 3 part, then upload it too mediafire.:)
Mediafire is very good.Evidence, i got 30-40kbps download speed while in the same time i could only get <10 kb from yourshare.:eek:

After all thanks for your effort:goodjob:

I understand your pain, but some people really hate multiple downloads too (including me)
 
The file seems to be in some strange format (as indicated by the extension .rar). How can I unpack it ? At least WinZip cannot do that.

... Ah, never mind ... I found another program (IZarc) which could unpack the file.

Hellespont and Mediterranean maps that I tried still have olives, sheep and grapes from the beginning. Is this intended ?
I have often crashes when loading and unloading stuff or people from coracles.

the bonuses should be there but the tiles themselves shouldn't have them as a yield

Please post a saved game so we can debug it!

thx for playing!
 
they do provide bonus yelds (+4 on flatlands, +1 on hills - double with an expert) without any improvement.
Also, there is no real improvement for clay. The lodge says it provides +1 clay but it's not buildable on unforested plains, so it won't provide any clay bonus ever.
Dyes appear on water (intended ?).

pleasure is mine for playing of course :D

they aren't reproducable crashes, luckily just one-time crashes "fixed" by a reload.

About resource appearance, I only tried with grapes so far: built 2 vineyards (btw it's spelled wrong ingame), worked them and the bonus appeared the turn after in both cases.

ok, I missunderstood then, cos you said "the bonuses should be there but the tiles themselves shouldn't have them as a yield"

PS: from the scores in the s.s. you can see that the AI isn't coping very well with the mod currently.

yeah the bonuses hsould have the yield but the usual game has grapes(sugar_ etc on every tile regardless of bonus. you just get more with bonus. this mod has only through bonuses. either naturally found or you make a TI that has a chance of finding the bonus.

not sure what change they arent handling the mechanics are mostly the same. the special TIs are just farms. but then again the AI never coped well in the vanilla either.
 
I think it was mostly the map. I am playing Mediterranean now and they are doing regularly.

- Pastures should be buildable on hills, since sheeps can appear on hills.
- The spawned boni only provide +1 yeld (regular boni provide +4). That's too few to be worth it, with an expert it becomes +2 but that's just too few IMHO. If it provided +2 yeld which means +4 with an expert it would be balanced. Consider that given the ardiness of the maps, there won't be many tiles where you can produce trade resources. Also these resources all have -3 yeld on hills but I think it makes no sense since grapes and sheeps especially are found mainly on hills and olives shouldn't make difference as long as it's plains terrain.
