CivFusion 0.75 Download: http://forums.civfanatics.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=11227

To install, unzip into your BtS/Mods directory. Use 7-zip http://www.7zip.com to unzip.

Caution: CivFusion 0.75 is 550MB zipped and over 1GB unzipped. I recommend a middle-to-high-end system for best results. Also, a 64-bit OS is highly recommended as this mod has a lot of content and 32-bit OS users may run into the dreaded MAF.

[bmarnz]

Looks like an interesting mod.

But I don't think it's fair that you got my inquisitor in yours, before I got it in mine.

BTW, I think I have three of your missing buttons in my mod: Dido, Bombard, and Arquebusier. That is if we used same artwork.

 

[PotatoSamurai]

Uhm, for convenience's sake, could you host this on a site that doesn't have a 12 minute long wait?

Here's a list of fileservers:
http://rapidsearch.yi.org/?sites=1

Edit: When it finished dloading, the RAR/ZIP was corrupted.

 

[ripple01]

bmarnz: Thanks for the offer, I'm downloading your mod now. Sorry to beat you to the punch with the Inquisitor!

PotatoSamurai: I just downloaded the file on my other computer and it opened fine for me. Also, the wait was only 3 minutes. Is it possible AtomicGames was having problems when you attempted to download?

Cheers,

Could be a couple of things: multiple people downloading it at the same time, or maybe geographic distance from the place's server.

As for the rar failing, it happens with big downloads fairly often, but it succeeding on your side indeed means that this was the case.

D/L mod look really interesting
BUT
I am having trouble founding religions , yes I did read the notes #4
that explains you have added 4 new sects and the game chooses
7 .
here are three screenies that will show what i think is a problem
#1 shows Askum has founded christianity
#2 shows my F7 screen and christianity is not an available religion
#3 shows my F6 screen i have run the bottom of the tech tree trying to found a religion
havent got one yet. I know i got to at least two of these techs first but got no religion

BUG or not ?????

 

[ripple01]

I don't know if I can say it is a bug, but it appears that the python modding zebra 01 did to achieve the 7 out of 11 effect does not play well with the "choose which religion you found" option. I can only suggest that you try again with that option unchecked. I do not play with that option and I can only say that I have no problems when I play that way.

I will see if it is possible to mod it so that it works with the "choose which religion you found" option.

Thanks,
ripple01

 

[ichbinsehselber]

From the description this looks like a very good mod, I hope I can get to trying it soon...

 

[ripple01]

Thanks! I hope you enjoy it.

77 downloads and just a couple of comments? I hope that's because you all are busy playing!

Seriously, I'm very open to feedback, suggestions, comments.

Cheers,
ripple01

 

[arstal]

One suggestion- could you have an option for normal game speed? I find the long speeds too slow for my taste.

 

[davbenbak]

Your post doesn't mention any maps. I REALLY don't like to play random maps. Are any available or in the works?

 

[ripple01]

arstal - I'll see about adding a gamespeed that is closer to the normal 500 turns one. My only concern is that things will really fly by with so much content crammed into 500 turns.

davbenbak - I am the opposite of you, I only play on random maps. I'm assuming you are requesting an earth map of some kind? I'll see what I can come up with...

Cheers,
ripple01

 

[ripple01]

Added a couple of screenshots from my current game to post #5...

Cheers,

[bmarnz]

I see from your screenshot you're missing a pedia entry for coffee. You could borrow that from my mod.

Make it the quick option? I don't mind things flying by.

Also, I'd consider upping legendary culture- without trying I got legendary culture victory by 1400AD in test game I played, and one of the civs had a legendary city as well.

I'll admit I beeline for culture victories usually. If I had kept culture at 0%, I would have had victory by 1500AD at latest. I was barely in modern Era when I won to boot.
