Hey - just got Warlords (I know, I know, I feel like I missed the boat on picking this up so late, but news of another expansion got me to do it) and I downloaded your mod. Absolutely awesome. I'm having a lot of fun with it. Couple of thoughts here. I played the Insane Barbs I...

I'm downloading now. I'd tried (and miserably failed) in making units cost population because the AI couldn't seem to handle it. You're mod has interested me enough to reinstall civ3 and conquests. :goodjob: I'm looking forward to try it out.

I really like this mapscript, though i have to cast a vote a randomized earth one (civs in new world and old world). would be interesting to try out.

sounds a little like jdogg's revolution and barb civ mod. you should be able to find it in the mod section. civs join midgame either through barb cities that gain enough culture or revolutions in established civ (overly simplified summary - check out his description for more). hope...

Tested it out in a game yesterday and it was great! Good job :goodjob: One thing I did notice is that sometimes you start very close to another civ, as in 5 tiles away. Made for an interesting warriors only early war with Montezuma :crazyeye:

All those 'rules' for revolutions sound great. I do agree with Dom Pedro though - serfdom should have some sort of penalty imposed on the user. However, maybe serfdom - like slavery -shouldn't be penalized until there is an alternative like Beauracracy or Nationahood. Bear with me -...

I think this is already in there to some degree. In the game I'm playing right now, the irrepressible Egyptians, who had founded both Judiasm and Hinduism, were wiped out by various parts of my Buddhist coalition. :lol: Over the centuries, the Egyptians returned several times, one time...

FYI - I know that Rhye modded something very like this idea into his mod as Russia's unique power. Units would suffer attrition damage (10% per turn after so much time) when at war. So, something like that is possible to mod into cIV.

man, that sounds like something's a little out of whack. i play primarily on noble, venturing every now and then up to prince. the only time i've had a revolution message before 1000 AD is when i've been at war for a while or have the holy city of a religion that's spread a bit.

at least until 5 turns later when they return because you're still a horrible dictator ;)

and i thought i had some bad revolts :crazyeye: one thing i'm noticing in .56 is that a few times a revolting civ comes to peaceful terms with 'the motherland' and then is destroyed. just wondering if this is intentional or not. i am noticing fewer early (as in 600 - 1200 AD)...

:D i think i'm going to have to play on a smaller map. ok, was intending to finish my first game on .55, so i picked up where i left off yesterday. a little background first. settings - large map of my own creation, seven civs (including myself) each with equal but distinct (as in...

if you're really interested in the question, one great book to read is Germs, Guns and Steel by Jared Diamond. here's a link to the book's homepage i read it a year ago or so, partly because of my interest in civving :D probably should read it again.

:eek: so, that's how revolutions are going to work. wow! played .55 last night. amazing. saw both the aggressive and peaceful revolutions - in fact, one revolution caught fire completely. the japanese rebelled from a fringe city of the mongolians (first barb civ, highest score and...

well, i suppose it did crash to desktop - kind of stalled the game altogether. it said that Civ 4 had performed an illegal operation and all that windows garbage (having to send an error report, blah blah). the 4th time it happened, i actually tried to read what the error report said :lol: so...
