I've read this old thread with a great deal of interest, as I too noticed that non-barbarian AIs tend not to build Explorer units, and I too think this puts the AI at a disadvantage. How easy (hard) would it be to modify the mod to encourage the AI to build more Explorer units? Thanks Olly.

Update: I have found that attempting this a few times sometimes works, sometimes doesn't, so that resolves it more or less.

Has anyone else had the problem of the game crashing to desktop whilst generating the "more civs" spiral galaxy map? Thanks Olly.

I saw an example of the AI doing this soon after I made the post!

Does/can the AI use missiles?

Thanks, that's helpful. I hadn't appreciated I'd be best off creating copies of the file and creating a micro-mod. Maybe I need to try a mod of a mod for the music I want to change on the mod I'm playing (the Star Trek one). The start-up failure was with BtS.exe, and maybe that's because of...

Thanks. Files attached. The 'new' MP3 is called ModernFull and I put it in the same folder as all the existing Modern tracks. With the changes reinstated as per these files, Beyond The Sword doesn't start up at all: after the introductory video etc., it just crashes to desktop, without an...

Hello After making the corrections you suggested, and triple-checking all the entries, unfortunately I have found that this still does not make my track appear. I also tried this method for other tracks in a mod, and also found no change (although I was able to STOP certain tracks from...

Ah yes, I didn't realise that about the age of the mod. Thanks for confirming that, that's what I thought. It would be marvellous if the AI could use wormholes, but not something I can reasonably ask, as I have 0 programming skills to help make that happen!

Hello Firstly, thank you to all involved for creating this excellent mod: I'm currently playing my first game with it and really enjoying it. I did read up on this in the FAQ and did a forum search, but a lot of the answers were from 10+ years ago, so thought I would check: sorry if I am...

I now see the problem: the text appeared differently in the default small window compared to how it does full screen. I can see what you mean now. Hopefully it'll now fix it...

Thanks for this, but I'm a bit confused, as I kept all the spacing/formats as they appeared in the file when I opened it, and sought to replicate all the spacing/formatting of the existing entries. I'll see if I can work out how to do the change you suggest and see if it works.

Right, I must be doing something fundamendally wrong! After I edited the relevant XML files in the Beyond The Sword sub-folder beneath the main Beyond The Sword folder, after that, the game wouldn't boot up! Removing the entries fixed that. Two questions. 1. Do I need to edit the 3 XML...

Thank you: that's a helpful suggestion. But as I was finding the files to upload here, I think I may have realised what I've done wrong. I may have changed the XML files in the immediate Beyond The Sword, not the subsequent Beyond The Sword folder. I'll try replicating my changes in these...

Hi Did this work for you? I'm trying to add one of the tracks from Civ III to the modern era music of Civ IV, and followed these instructions to the letter. It hasn't come up yet. I suppose it's possible that I haven't played it for long enough for the 'new' track to come up naturally...
