English UHV Revealed

[dafiden]

How exactly do you acheive the English Unique Historical Victory? That was the question I was asking a little while ago. Well, here is the answer (after poking through the victory file).

Spoiler :

1. Be the first to circumnavigate.
Easy. Explore an east/west path across the entire map.

2. Found at least 3 cities in every continent by 1700 AD.
Or, more specifically:
a. Found 3 cities in Australia, i.e. within the red rectangle shown here:
b. Found 3 cities in Asia, i.e. within the red rectangle shown here:
c. Found 3 cities in Africa, i.e. within the red rectangle shown here:
d. Found 3 cities in the Americas, i.e. within the red rectangle shown here:
(Sorry for the bad pictures, I'm not that proficient with the World Builder.)

3. First to enter Industrial and Modern era.
To enter Industrial Era, research any of these:
FASCISM
COMMUNISM
SCIENTIFIC METHOD
PHYSICS
BIOLOGY
MEDICINE
ELECTRICITY
COMBUSTION
FISSION
STEAM POWER
STEEL
ASSEMBLY LINE
RAILROAD
ARTILLERY

To enter Modern Era, research any of these:
MASS MEDIA

I hope this helps some folks with the same question.

You only need to found 2 cities on the North American east coast, 1 city in South Africa and 2 cities in Australia.

right, right....thanks to you, I noticed that there's a slice of South America not included, and fixed it for the next patch

Nope. 3 cities in each continent, as specified above.

See for yourself in Victory.py version 142.

Here is the relevant Python code snippet.

bAmericas = self.checkOwnedArea(iEngland, tAmericasTL, tAmericasBR, 3)
bAfrica = self.checkOwnedArea(iEngland, tAfricaTL, tAfricaBR, 3)
bAsia = self.checkOwnedArea(iEngland, tAsiaTL, tAsiaBR, 3)
bOceania = self.checkOwnedArea(iEngland, tOceaniaTL, tOceaniaBR, 3)

Cool. I thought that might have been by design.

Sorry, forgot I was still running v.138. Maybe I should just go ahead and dl the newest version

You may want to check out RFC++ if you're going to install a new version

I've been searching for something like this for ages. Thank you, dafiden!
