Interesting... Will the AI use them? Thanks!

 

[Prestidigitator]

When shall we expect the release ?

 

[Blasphemous]

Sounds exciting.

Does Rome value Gaul/France more, in the AIWars map? I spawned France with no techs and an Archer in Lugdunum around 1250BC. Rome doesn't attack them with all those Legionaries! My observations...

Edit: I also experimented with the game by removing one civ at a time and simulating until 1605. When Japan was gone, China left the islands alone and India settled them. I'm not sure how accurate that is, does China value settling the Islands?

 

[Watiggi]

Can I suggest making the changes I suggested here to the Mongol power before the release (if that is at all possible)? I think it would make the Mongols much more of what they were than their current power and it would be good to try it out.

Physics gives uranium and you can build nucelar powered ships before you discover fission and build the A-bom. Would it not be better to reveal U with fission?

 

[Elhoim]

In Warlords uranium is still revealed by physics, but you can only use it when you discover fission

 

[Elhoim]

Any news on when will it be out? I´m eager to play with mercenaries... I guess this mod will conflict with the exotic foreign advisor... I´ll have to mess a little with your files if that happens

 

[Rhye]

i'm having troubles with mercenaries.

Maybe tomorrow, but don't count on it.

 

[Elhoim]

Okay! Thanks with for the update!

Cool! Thanks Rhye!

 

[Barak]

Looks great! Downloading now.

Why does my ini file keep geting changed when I dl this mod? Doesn't happen everytime, but it does happen.

Very annoying

(500th post!)

edit: not only that....whole sections of the config.ini file are MISSING!!!!! including the cheatcode=chipotle line (i searched for it)

 

[Elhoim]

Yeah, it happens sometimes with many mods... I notice it especially with the intro videos

 

[Barak]

Well, since my config has changed, what do I need to add to make it right? I imagine that copying the warlords .ini would not quite be right.

 

[Barak]

solved the problem.....

 

[Barak]

While Civ flags show in foreign relations "relations", the leaders are still shown everywhere else.

 

[Rhye]

I know, I wanted only the relations.
While leaders make sense for attitude, and for willing/unwilling to trade, civs make more sense for peace/war/treaties
