... we are free at last! -Israfil.

We haven't sanity-checked the resource distribution on the various map generators. So far I've had decent luck, but it's luck of the draw. Posted to the tracker already. Posted to the tracker - minor known bug. Workaround: Just select a unit and hover over its icon at the bottom, and...

They sure use it against me. ;) Israfil. [pimp]

Yeah, I was really enjoying this too. Mind you, I almost never take slavery because I can rarely hold out. I'll often institute a short-term slavery to boost production in a desperate time, but will emancipate thereafter. I'm thinking, by the way, that some changes to slavery might make...

Actually, I think it is quite realistic to contract out unique units - think of the mercenary "swiss guards" that guard the vatican. However, I think that if a civ that contracted unique mercenary units were to go to war with the home civ, the units would immediately revert to the civ in...

Funny you should mention this. One of my long-term goals is to re-implement religion - or rather a city's religiosity - to be more like culture, where you have a % of adherence, where all the religions in a city will add up to no more than 100%. (If it's less than 100%, it means that a...

Hey JakeCourtney, Please check out civ4mods.sourceforge.net and civ4mods.sourceforge.net/realism. These sites were automatically generated from a build system called maven, but if you make a good site, we can replace it. However, when you make it, please remember that the realism site...

Greetings all, So the conversation about realism, game balance, unique units, and historical accuracy (especially of russian civ) definitely strikes a chord with me. I came to find this mod whilst looking for a new Balancer mod, which made CivIII worth playing for me. One nice feature...

I was going to post that the patch is ready for download, but Houman already did. That's what I get for not reloading the page before I post. :) Israfil.

FYI... just to keep excitement high, I have found the major 1.61 incompatibility and addressed it. It won't be in the first patch, as the game is really not in good state in 1.61, with lots of xml errors and such. However, it's just to let you know that the problems are now just a matter of...

Houman and Nightravn, my home network is pooched, and therefore I cannot access my e-mail server. You'll need to instant message me. (Nightravn, get my IM from Houman) Israfil.

Fixed in the repository - will be in next patch. Israfil.

Thanks. Good so far... Hmm. Not sure what this is about. Most new units will not get perks/traits. Stacked units will get stacking perks/traits, and you can buy traits with XP. Can you tell us what the expected behaviour in a given example scenario is? I mean that isn't working...

Don't worry, we're masochists. :crazyeye: Israfil.

I would heartily recommend doing as Nightravn earlier suggested, and install a secondary CivIV installation at verion 1.52 to play this mod. I have no idea how long it will take to upgrade the mod to work, and we were so busy with TotalRealism-1.0 that we haven't even gotten to the analysis...
