Anyone have any advice on multiplayer stability with this mod? On Enormous we see a lot of crashes when using this with resource mods (truly abundant, civitas), Wetlands, and UI mods. I know a lot of stability issues are due to hardcoded stuff that can't be changed. Is it likely this mod just...

My friends and I have been playing Civ multiplayer since we were in our teens using hot seat on Civ 4. This was a lot of fun, but was really slow for obvious reasons. When Civ 5 came out we were super excited about online multiplayer and have over the years played probably a hundred or more...

Barbarians should be fine in the newer versions (including this one).

I'm honestly not sure how the modpacks are made. There is usually a thread in here somewhere with the most recent modpack version, so I'd ask in there.

Has anyone had issues with massive slowdowns during AI (specifically the barbarian turns I think) using the new Huge size? It seems to be pretty bad in multiplayer games. My friends and I have always enjoyed playing Epic speed/Huge size maps and found the vanilla maps to be too small, so we...

You would need to create your own modpack to add any other mods in MP.

I would try the following: Delete all mods from mod folder (including u1_bc folder from DLC and any modpacks) Verify game cache Reinstall Vox Populi with installer Clear cache (although I believe the installer does this automatically now) Then see if you're still having this issue. This has...

Zeta is right, and the exact numbers are somewhere in the game files. At Prince the AI recieves zero bonuses (and neither does the player), and then from King on upward the AI recives bonuses at the start of each era, scaling higher according to the difficulty.

http://forums.civfanatics.com/forums/community-patch-project.497/ All the information you need should be there. There is the CP (which is just the community patch, containing only AI changes and some small balance changes) and the CBP (or as they call it now, Vox Populi). I'd recommend the...

Civ V with the latest Vox Populi patch will give you a run for your money. It's leagues ahead of where it was after BNW and is honestly the most challengeing Civ AI I've played on any version.

I believe the modifiers are lower overall than vanilla and are spread out throughout the eras. Most of the difficulty comes from AI improvements. I'll update this post if I can find them in the game files.

I've never tested pitboss, and never played multiplayer without human players, so I'm not sure what would be causing the issues. I'd suggest if you want to play SP, to just do it regularly through the menu (the modpack allows you to play it through there as well as MP). As for multiplayer, if...

How many human players?

The Vox Populi installed (exe) is only for single player. To play multiplayer you need to install the modpack, with the most recent one being 10-something somewhere in the most recent posts (not in this thread). You'll then need to unzip that file and drop it into your DLC folder. After that you...

Use the most recent 9/30 version. It's very stable, with only the occasional desync. Loading into it can be a bit of a chore (with one or two players unable to move sometimes) but this can often be solved by having the players that can't move quit and then inviting them to the game or by...
