:cringe: My mistake. They got their panties in a bunch because I declared war on someone with whom I signed a declaration of friendship. Closely worded reasons. Sorry everyone :cringe:

Possible, but unlikely. They only recently entered the Middle Ages, so they couldn't have gotten too far into the Commerce Social Policy (the one that gives a free Great Admiral). And they were never at war with France to build up Great Admiral points. I destroyed their navy, but that...

Map has two continents plus a few islands. I am on one continent with two other civs (France and Persia), and the remaining seven civs are across the sea. No civ has reached the Renaissance yet. Since I do a lot of naval warfare (playing Byzantium), I have a Great Admiral, who can travel...

Thanks for the replies and link to that thread. Question answered :D

I guess I am missing something, because the numbers don't seem to stack up. Allow me to explain: I am defending with a Keshik with +10% Str and +25% vs Melee promotions against a Spearman with +10% Str and +20% Hill Def. So, the numbers as I see it are: Spearman: 4 * 1.10 (Str) * 2 (vs...

Well, I was thinking more along the lines of something like each Civ having a five city limit or something like that. I hate controlling too many cities, and I do not like the AI that controls them for you. But it seems like if I don't fill every last available spot, the AI will. One of the...

Is there any way to stop the AI from breeding cities like rabbits? I am familiar enough with the xml to do some handy work if anyone can point me in the right direction (or knows of a mod that does this). Thanks in advance :D

Earlier today I tried to log into my account, which I had not logged into in over a year. Well, I forgot my password. So, I guessed at it, but was getting close to locking out my account with incorrect answers. I decided to try to just reset it. Only, the image verification system being used for...

For anyone looking to do the same, you may receive a syntax error if you just cut and paste the code I gave, since the html of the forums 'flattens' the code, whereas in the SDK it is 'layered'. Just manually cut out all that I did to achieve the same results.

My problem was an incorrect use of SDK modding. So, now that I got the CodeBlocks SDK program working, the following modification to the original code does the trick:

If anyone knows how to adjust the decrease in population that results from capturing a city, that should be all it takes. Normally, capturing a city decreases its population by 1. If that could be increased to some ridiculous number (e.g. 50), then any city would automatically be destroyed after...

iRazeCityProb is just a %, so going over 100 should not matter. Even so, I tried it and it didnt work. The code that I printed seems to be pointing out conditions that need to be met for the AI to indeed raze a city. If you look in there, you will note when the <iRazeCityProb> factors in...

I found this in the CvPlayerAI.ccp file of the SDK: The bold 'true' I changed from false, but it didn't matter. Any idea if I am in the right area and if so what exactly I need to do?

I have seen many many posts asking how to stop the AI from razing cities, but I have not seen anything about how to always make them raze a captured city. I know about the <iRazeCityProb> code in the LeaderHeadInfos, but it seems that even with this set to 100, they still will not always raze a...

I am noticing that certain Flavors are always selected first when determining which techs to award for conquest. I have done repeated tests and Religion is always selected ahead of the others, with Gold being the next n line. Is there some way to make this truly random? Also, I have the...
