The more I think about this, the more I want it. The opposition leader idea sparked more interesting gameplay ideas. Every civ could have great leaders (opposition leaders to the current leader) being 'born'. Similar to other great people, these leaders are born when their great person...

It throws up challenges for sure. But I think it would be a better game. But of course there would be ways to block revolution from unhappiness. Maybe if you have a certain size army in respect to the size of your population. That way you could always maintain control over social policies...

I think a permanent Civ leader for thousands of years is silly. And it causes some annoyances. Take Gandhi for instance. He takes some strange hostile actions such as declaring war out of nowhere. And apparently he's also found of Nukes in the late game? That doesn't seem much like the real...

I had a feeling it would require Lua. I'll give it a go. I'm starting a Computer Science degree in September, so it's something that I should get stuck into anyway. Thanks for the pointer.

I'm trying a simple hunter-gatherer type mod to help me learn the basics. So far I have just got rid of the starting settler and the free tech, and also set the start year to 8000 BC. Now, I want a way to gift a settler upon completing some task. Is this possible? I'll start simple and...

Well I sorted the scroll bar problem by completely starting my civ.xml from scratch. Could not find an error in it, mind. Decided not to follow the guide directly step by step any more, and just poke about with stuff and learn the self taught method. Working so far. Although some info in kael's...

Having this same problem with the scroll bars (amongst others!). Is it just that kael's guide is too out of date? Any other guides available?

I followed Kael's guide but I'm having problems. I'm trying to get the basic understanding of adding a Civ. In order to simply have my new Civ wrote into the database and appear in the Civ selection part of my mod, do I simply need to have the Civ_NewCiv.xml file load? Or is it dependant...

I'm really looking forward to this. I just hope it's not too dumbed down.

Do you want to play a shgame now? I'm gonna start one on gamespy with no password protection so we should get a few players joining in there. The game will be called Shane's Game. I'm starting it now. So go into the gamespy lobbies and look for Shane's Game if you're interested.

I'm waiting for confirmation from you lads before I start the game. Then I'll Pm yous the lobby name and password. So post here to let me know if yous are still up for playin with just 3.

It is starting today. But we only have 3 players. Do yous want it to start with just 3 players?

Ok, thanks for letting me know.

Added you to the list. :goodjob:

As far as I know anybody can take control of your civ as long as it's not password protected. But if you just want a certain person to take control, add a password and tell that person the password. They can then take over from you.
