A Conclusive History of the World

[awesomenessofme]

I'm looking for ideas about a) a civ to play as, b) civs to play against, c) a map type to use, and d) mods to use for a story. I already have some ideas, but I'd like input. Please hurry; the BNW clock is ticking!

I'd say randomise the civ and use an Earth map (possibly YNAEMP.)

 

[awesomenessofme]

The problem is there are civs I don't want to play as (I just played a game as Babylon) and some I don't want to play as or against (Bushido is overpowered). Any ideas about mods? I already have a few I enjoy, but if there are any you think would make for an interesting story, tell me.

 

[IAmBecomeGandhi]

There's a mod called Really Advanced Setup somewhere on this site where you can enable/disable civs to be in the game. If you give me a minute,I'll try and find the link.

Here.

Thanks. Do you know of any mods that have marahon speed and standard production? The Grand Campaign is ridiculous! 5 ypt in the Classical Era?

 

[IAmBecomeGandhi]

Sorry,I don't know any. There might be something on Steam,though.

 

[awesomenessofme]

Do you know if RAS works with TSL maps? That would be awesome.

 

[IAmBecomeGandhi]

I'm almost certain it works with YNAEMP,yeah. Don't mess with the start bias though.

 

[awesomenessofme]

Using a map could be fun, but the only problem is that I can't use Amer-Asian Resources and one other mod. Still, I think I will use a map.
Which do you think would be better - Earth or Europe? I'm not sure one of those 18-civs one would be good, though. My computer's not that great.

 

[IAmBecomeGandhi]

You might want to go with Europe considering your computer. I'm pretty sure YNAEMP has an option for realistic resources though.

What do you think about the Polder Extension and Terrace Farm Extension mods in this story?

 

[IAmBecomeGandhi]

I've never tried them so I'm not entirely sure,but they shouldn't screw anything up so go ahead!

 

[awesomenessofme]

No, I mean, do you think they would make sense?

 

[IAmBecomeGandhi]

Oh,right. I don't see why not,you could even work it into the storyline somehow.

 

[awesomenessofme]

I wish I could use the Improvement Upgrades mod, but it makes all farms look like polders.

 

[IAmBecomeGandhi]

You could always pretend that there are marshes everywhere? xD

 

[awesomenessofme]

But what about the ancient era?
Besides, farms look so nice and geometric.

 

[IAmBecomeGandhi]

Valid point.
Is there no way you can mess with the coding of the mod?

 

[awesomenessofme]

I know nothing about modding. How do you mess up the coding of a mod that much anyway?
