NEW ADDITION! (2010.08.04) STONE AGE IN QUOT CAPITA (Prehistoric Era)
My suggestion to you guys/girls would be to just jump into the game and let you experience this new era!
I have high hopes it recreates the feeling of the age it tries to simulate:
you start with a small band of Homo Sapiens Sapiens struggling for survival in a hostile but at the same time exciting environment.
When food was more about hunting than gathering, when a mythological shroud enveloped those fearsome wild beasts and tales of
great achievements echoed the starry nights by the fire - this is the time when the seeds of great civilizations are sown.
SO LET THE ADVENTURE BEGIN!
If you are the sort of player who likes to know the exact whats and hows, I can understand this need, so here's the list of
features:
__________________________________________________
DESCRIPTION
What IS Quot Capita you may ask?
The simple answer is: it's a combined modpack including some of the best mods Civ community can offer.
RevDCM is it's beating heart:
Varietas Delectat spices up the unit sets, and if you want some background info: I started to work on VD because I was dreaming of a big composite mod I can plug it into in the first place!
Stone Age is a whole new starting era for QC!
Mastery Victory done by the great Sevo. Once I saw this modcomp I knew that it perfectly expressed the way I like to play Civ: pursue everything and enjoy every last drop of it! It pretty much awards you points for everything you do - it measures your Civilization's almost every significant accomplishment!
Terraforming, Forest Planting - I admit I borrowed some code snipets and ideas here, and created a modcomp for terraforming and forest planting. This is basically for the human player to play around with the World and be able to do something about those pesky deserts and global warming - if he can afford it, of course! (I tried to make it so that the AI understands it, but considering the costs of these actions I think the AI is better off not using them)
Where is the Future Era and the Sci-fi in Civ, you may ask? BtS Next War and it's Extension by me tries to find an answer to this question.
GreatPersonMod adds a kind of flavour to acquiring a Great Person that I really like. You get a pop-up image and a quote from the Great Person - nifty, ey?
Events with images - self explanatory, pop-up image with event description.
ActualQuotes - This mod replaces the original leader-specific diplomacy text with text based on attributed quotes.
Route Restricter - Don't be afraid, only some selected units will be restricted in their movement, such as the Railway Artillery prestige unit.
Hunting mechanics - Did someone mention food? FOOD! Hunt those mammoths for FOOD!
You get food based on animal food yield in the nearest city. Can be augmented with Hunter promotions. http://forums.civfanatics.com/showpost.php?p=8289745&postcount=448
But above all: The aim is always to have a stable, playable, balanced and FUN game.

and some bonus to temples/monasteries to the religions with slower spread rate.
__________________________________________________
INSTALLATION
- Important: first update your BtS to 3.19
- Run the installer
__________________________________________________
RECOMMENDED PLAY SETTINGS
While you are of course free to play with any options you want, I thought I would formularize a recommended settings paragraph,
just because it will reflect the way I like to play, and thus it will always represent the settings I usually test and balance QC the most.
LANGUAGE SUPPORT
English
Sorry guys, but I alone can manage only the English support, if you are willing to provide translation to other languages, go for it, I'll be happy to include them!

SCREENSHOTS
When pictures speak a thousand words:
__________________________________________________
SOURCE FILES
Source files (SDK): included in the download
Also debug dll and nsi installer file is included
__________________________________________________
Memory Allocation Failure issues (or MAFs)
By playing on bigger maps and with more leaders the memory usage of the game increases. On a 32bit OS this pretty much means guaranteed MAFs, usually happening somewhere in the late game. Even on 64bit systems it can be a problem, and you might need to
consider enabling the Civ exe file to be able to address more than 2GB of virtual memory.
I've personally tried a solution discussed from the threads I linked below, and it works. There is some risk involved however,
so please make sure you understand
what you are doing and how you can get back to a stable OS if something goes wrong.

SO LET THE ADVENTURE BEGIN!
If you are the sort of player who likes to know the exact whats and hows, I can understand this need, so here's the list of
features:
- Stone Age tech tree - with stuff that was taken for granted before now only gradually becoming available. Sedentary lifestyle is a choke/checkpoint to Ancient Era and thus an improved growth, because there's ...
- Seriously slowed early growth - you don't have access to settlers beyond your starting band. The earliest opportunity to build settler type units is at Tribalism. The food requirements for a city to grow are also multiplied by 3. All this means you need to rely on the next feature listed, which is...
- Improved hunting mechanics - each animal now has a food "yield" (you can check it in Sevopedia), which is a base food value your nearest city will receive upon successful hunt. You need the Hunting tech for it to work; and you need the Hunter promotions for it to shine. The Coocked food tech also adds a small boost to the food value.
- New unit classes with some completely new art- stone spears, stone axes, slings, battering rams
- New buildings - e.g. Knowledge Inheritance, Stone Tools Workshop, etc. and the Lascaux Paints wonder (wonder art by avain).
- New worker builds/improvements - with new, cool art!
- New animals (wild boar, bison, orangutan, etc)
- Homo neanderthalensis - the rival of Homo Sapiens. Will it be extinct again? Just be prepared, these guys have more muscle than the Governor of California!
- Mythological creatures - when you are only armed with a stick or a stone spear at best, even a wild boar can instill fear that leads way to imagination. It is also quite possible that some now extinct animals were alive back then. The perception of these by the early cultures was interwoven with myths, beliefs and legends. So a lion might become a terrifying Chymera, a wild bull a mighty Minotaur. If you manage to defeat these famous beast however, it will provide more that enough fame for you, not to mention there will be something to story about by the fire while the kids are listening in awe. Just don't let the women see trough you and actually start demanding the hunted food
You receive culture in your nearest city. Mysticism banishes these mythological creatures back to the legends where they belong.

DESCRIPTION
What IS Quot Capita you may ask?
The simple answer is: it's a combined modpack including some of the best mods Civ community can offer.
RevDCM is it's beating heart:
- Dales Combat Mod offers most importantly Ranged Bombardment, improved air combat, battle effects and more.
- BTS unofficial patch
- Better BTS AI - the AI is more capable, you might want to turn down a difficulty level or two
- BUG - Unaltered, but greatly improved gameplay (interface, info screens and more!)
- WoC - World of Civilization, how modular loading should have been in the first place
- Super Spies does spice up the spying game, you can create your very own 007s and Austin Powerses here.
- Inquisition let's you recreate one of the funniest eras in human history, and step into the shoes of the ever-jolly Torquemada. (I might have confused the fun part here with a Monty Python sketch
, but whatever) - Influence Driven War feels natural when played, integrates flawlessly into the gameplay, now every battle counts for those cultural borders!
Varietas Delectat spices up the unit sets, and if you want some background info: I started to work on VD because I was dreaming of a big composite mod I can plug it into in the first place!
Stone Age is a whole new starting era for QC!
Mastery Victory done by the great Sevo. Once I saw this modcomp I knew that it perfectly expressed the way I like to play Civ: pursue everything and enjoy every last drop of it!
