*** 32 CIVS *** Earth's Major Cities and Settler's Earth Basemap for Beyond the Sword

[Luke1195]

****** 32 CIVS ******

Get ready for a Civ4 mod that still feels like the original game, yet is hyper realistic !!

• Choose between two maps -- One with cities already placed, and one with settlers on an empty map
• Accurate, Aesthetic, Playable updated versions of the original Earth 18Civs map
• Over 300 cities !!
• Over 1000 resources !!
• Extended Europe, Africa, Asia, Americas, Oceania
• Historical goals for each civ
• Wonders are limited to accurate locations
• Includes CustomAssets Modpack that can be used with any map
• Misc. enhancements, such as improved tile and specialist yields, accurate unit resource and tech requirements, and updated Civilopedia entries
• Techs are limited by era, and for Settler'sEarthBasemap or random maps, also by civ for religion-founding techs
• New buildings, units, and promotions
• 32 civs are chosen for several reasons -- in coding, it's best to stick with powers of 2 to get the most out of computer bits, which are 1s or 0s
• Also 32 civs fits better on the maps -- one map has Babylon and Germany, the other has Sumeria and Holy Rome
• Stacks are now limited to 16 units, a power of 2
• Civilization city lists and Great People lists are expanded to 64 and 128, both powers of 2
• A lot more is planned!!
• This is version 2!! For several weeks, this mod was unavailable because an important file had been lost. I've recreated the file!! Now both mods are playable!!

Currently I am testing Settler's Earth Basemap, and am hoping to achieve a Victory. I'm very close -- if I can hold off the Ethiopians and the Mongols for 60 more turns, I will achieve a Cultural Victory with Uruk, Eridu, and Kish.
This would be the first victory for Settler's Earth Basemap. I achieved one victory on Earth's Major Cities as America, fulfilling the Gold requirements with a Cultural Victory, but I didn't get a screenshot of that game. It was awesome though!!

The Ethiopians managed to take Kish, but I got it back the next turn and sued for peace. I also negotiated peace with the Mongols.
Upon getting Kish back, it was at around 200 more turns to Legendary culture. I built up some cultural buildings in it back, now it is 56 more turns to Legendary. Eridu has achieved Legendary in the meantime.

I will give a summary of how this game began, and how I got jup to this point.
I chose Sumeria because I felt they would be easiest, and I want to make sure this mod is winnable.
At first, it was very easy. I was founding cities all across the world -- with my empire covering the Arabian peninsual and stretching to the Urals, and with colonies in Africa and Australia -- without declaring war on anyone, and staying in first place, all the way until the Renaissance Era, when the Khmer declared war.
They captured one of my cities in the Kazakh desert, and I captured it back and sued for peace.
They declared war again, taking four cities this time, in Kazakhstana nd Southeast Asia, but I got them back.
They declared war two more times, each time me getting the cities back or not losing them. By this time, the wars were in the Industrial Era.
In the meantime, India had destroyed the Persians and the Ottomans, and their cities were dotted within my vast empire, because I still hadn't declared war on anyone.
I eventually declared war on Asoka because of this, and also because Asoka was winning the Cultural Victory battle with Delhi, Pataliputra which had founded Buddhism, and Varanasi which had founded Hinduism.
Genghis Khan declared war on India too, and we both conquered India, but then the Mongols and Ethiopia declared war on me.

The Mongols declared war on me again... this time they nuked Uruk and Eridu!
I managed to hold them off from taking my capital, by bringing in the Ethiopians against them, in exchange for Fusion!
Ethiopia then rushed in and obliterated an entire Mongol army, which allowed me to get Anshan back briefly, before the Mongols took it again.
Ethiopia also nuked India a ton.
When the Mongol army gt to Ur, I sent so many Special Forces and Mechanized Infantry to protect it, since I built the Space Elevator there, and I managed to hold them off!
My Great General Baybars helped me!
Now I have only 6 turns left until I complete an SS Egnine -- the last spaceship part I need before launch.
Kish will obtain Legendary Culture in 20 turns.
Either way, I should be close to a Victory!

Something horrible has happened!!
I lost the version of CvGameUtils for Earth's Major Cities!!
It was overwritten by the one for Settler's Earth Basemap in every place I have it!! :'(

Has anyone downloaded this, and has a version of CvGameUtils.py on their computer, that is for Earth's Major Cities??

Or will I have to recreate the entire code... it took a long time!! :'(

 

[Luke1195]

Code recreated!!
I'll post here, for safekeeping!!

 

[Luke1195]

I did it!!!
I won a Cultural Victory as Sumeria on Settler's Earth Basemap!!!
Now both Earth's Major Cities and Settler's Earth Basemap are confirmed winnable!!!
I achieved a Bronze Victory, because one of my cities got razed, and the culture level of my captial only reached ~292,000.
