The Sword of Islam: RFC Medieval Middle East

[Akbarthegreat]

there are 2 versions of province control in the code, 1 in which vassals count and 1 in which they don't. you can tell which condition applies by looking at the code. if the "checkRegionControl" call includes the word "True", vassalization counts.

So the Ottomans can use vassals:

Spoiler victory.py :

[COLOR="YellowGreen"]# Ottoman UHV3: Control or vassalize provinces in 1660[/COLOR]
					if iGameTurn == getTurnForYear(1660):
						if sd.getGoal(iOttomans, 2) == -1:
							regionList = [con.rThrace, con.rAsia, con.rBithynia, con.rLycia, con.rPontus, con.rGalatia, con.rPaphlagonia, con.rCilicia, con.rCappadocia, con.rLesserArmenia, con.rTrebizond, con.rGreaterArmenia, con.rGeorgia, con.rKars, con.rVaspurakan, con.rShirvan, con.rSyria, con.rNorthernSyria, con.rPalestine, con.rLebanon, con.rJordan, con.rHejaz, con.rUpperEgypt, con.rLowerEgypt, con.rAsuristan, con.rMesopotamia, con.rJazira, con.rEdessa]
							if self.checkRegions(iOttomans, regionList, [B]True[/B]):
								sd.setGoal(iOttomans, 2, 1)
							else:
								sd.setGoal(iOttomans, 2, 0)

But the Ak Koyunlu cannot:

Spoiler victory.py :

[COLOR="YellowGreen"]# Ak Koyunlu UHV1: Control provinces in 1440[/COLOR]
					if iGameTurn == getTurnForYear(1440):
						bControl = True
						regionList = [con.rJazira, con.rAsuristan, con.rAzerbaijan]
						for regionID in regionList:
							if not utils.checkRegionControl(iAkKoyunlu, regionID):
								bControl = False
						if bControl:
							sd.setGoal(iAkKoyunlu, 0, 1)
						else:
							sd.setGoal(iAkKoyunlu, 0, 0)

What about the Mughals?

Spoiler victory.py :

[COLOR="YellowGreen"]# Mughal UHV3: Control provinces in 1650[/COLOR]
					if iGameTurn == getTurnForYear(1650):
						regionList = [con.rGandhar, con.rDuggar, con.rPunjab, con.rGird, con.rUttarBharat, con.rRajputana, con.rMaharashtra, con.rMalwa, con.rGujarat, con.rSindh, con.rKarnataka]
						if self.checkRegions(iMughals, regionList):
							sd.setGoal(iMughals, 2, 1)
						else:
							sd.setGoal(iMughals, 2, 0)

Spoiler :

So this part of the code allows vassals:

	def checkRegions(self, iPlayer, regionList, bVassal=False):
		"""Checks whether iPlayer and his vassals (if bVassal is True) control
		all regions (provinces) in regionList."""
		for regionID in regionList:
			if not utils.checkRegionControl(iPlayer, regionID, bVassal):
				return False
		return True

While this part disallows it:

def getNumProvinces(self, iPlayer):
		"""Returns the number of regions (provinces) that iPlayer controls."""
		iNumProvinces = 0
		regionList = []
		apCityList = PyPlayer(iPlayer).getCityList()
		for pCity in apCityList:
			regionID = gc.getMap().plot(pCity.getX(), pCity.getY()).getRegionID()
			if regionID not in regionList and utils.checkRegionControl(iPlayer, regionID):
				regionList.append(regionID)
				iNumProvinces += 1
		return iNumProvinces

Am I correct?

EDIT: But Antioch also returns True for checkregionlist but their UHV says only control?

did you try my changes?

No, I had started the game before I noticed the file. I'll try next time though.

When playing as the Abbasid Caliphate I don't seem able to build camel archers. I have access to a camel resource and horsmanship is a tech that the Abbasid's start with (the two requirements according to the 'pedia). Thanks.

likely due to the fact that they are available only as mercenaries

What's the original title of the music 'David_Late.mp3' in /Diplomacy?

I just randomly heard that in some ad on Youtube, and it disappeared when I scrolled.

 

[SanJose]

I broke my brain in search of this .mp3
on YouTube so few resources of SoI

 

[SanJose]

what about record video strategies for UHV/URV?

The Frantic Shapeshifters - "An Arabian Street" from "Ethnic Streets of the World EP"
Find it on Midomi

P.S. maybe it's processing of music with the addition of noise of the streets

Does this mod work for Mac even though it downloads as an .exe?

 

[ales_]

I don't think so. This mod uses a custom DLL which is uncompatible with Mac.

Do you know if he has been working on something else?

 

[Mammon]

I hope he's okay. Would love to see more from him.

Indeed, this is the best mod for Civ4, and his mods have been of the best quality as well. Can't think of any other mod as well polished, researched and bug free as his (Sengoku and Sword of Islam).
