That gameplay report by tachywaxon is indeed really good, made me think about reinstalling the game, just for good old time sakes.

I laughed, and read, then laughed again, then kept reading, for 2 hours. When we tackled the task of making TAM for Civ4, I guess we hoped it would be an enjoyable mod, this goes without saying. But the way you told the "story" of your game was really captivating, as I didn't expect there...

wow the TAM team, and most probably the whole world, will never be thankfull enough towards you.

nice work guys, nice work!

The Ancient Mediterranean mod, one wich has been around since Civ3, is of course being worked on as I write this reply. And it's gonna be bigger and bolder than any previous iterations. But it's not due for next week let's say...

Do not thank me, Thank Sterkhov :)

Looks like Firaxis "encrypted" some dds files in some way... what a pain... but then, looks like Firaxis underestimated what modders are capable of... Thank you, Sterkhov :)

In the "Indien" section at the end of your code, you write <Set CPopulationUnhappinessModifier="-25"/> there's a typo, it's not CPopuation, just Population. There might be something else, but this typo must do something wrong. I read in other threads about typos preventing files from loading...

Yep, I've been following that thread for a couple of days hehe, must have got mixed up. (I even wrote to SamBC yesterday about is modular work... must have been tired) Question here though : how will it be modular if you modify an LUA other than the Event one? In any case, keep up the good work!

That's the thing when you not only mod the game, but convert it. I understand what you mean... No way should anyone be able to see Uranium in TAM;) And I will work a month only to make sure than no one playing TAM can ever get infos on ICBM. Guess it's all about state of mind...

Everything is done trough AssignStartingPlot.lua now. Actually, that file has a lot of explanations about resources placement, a must read, especially the appendix. If you don't reference the new resource in here, it will never get scattered. The resource will exist, and be found in the...

If you would write: <Unit> <Delete UnitType="UNIT_CATAPULT"/> </Unit> It would indeed delete the whole unit. Deletion is relative to the entry, so with 1st code I gave you, you'd only delete catapult in <Unit_ResourceQuantityRequirements>, while with this last code, if you delete...

Kael speaks of the "necessity" to be able to combine mods. He also says that some mod, only a few, will be exclusive. As quoted, TAM (which I work on) or FFH, will be exclusive mods, since they consist on not only modifying things, but actually "re-engineering" the game for most of their...

I dont think you can mix deletes and updates. In fact, if I get it correctly, you'd need to simply remove the Catapulr entry in the proper field. <Unit_ResourceQuantityRequirements> <Delete UnitType="UNIT_CATAPULT"/> </Unit_ResourceQuantityRequirements> This should do the...

Kael's guide only covers XML parts of removing horses, I followed his guide toroughly, and still it crashes. I'll go download his mod though, to see if he indeed modified some LUAs
