Advanced Questions

[NT_Jedi]

I found a few small mods which are helpful such as the replanting forest mod and culture borders crossing ocean mod.


1 ) I searched and couldn't find any mods which add new futuristic technologies. I was looking for just the new futuristic technologies such as cybernetics, minaturized robotics, laser weapons, and other future technologies. I'm hoping veterans in the community would know where I might find one of these which doesn't include other modifications?

2 ) I searched and couldn't find any mods which improve barbarians as time progresses. For some reason barbarians improve very little as time progresses without a city... the maximum random drop are swordsmen and for sea units it's a Galley. Any suggestions where I can find a mod so the barbarians can be improved as time progresses ?

3 ) I haven't found a way to edit or create a multiplayer map. Where can I find ways to make this work ?

4 ) I also would like to disable how airplanes can teleport across the ocean from an airport. I view this as wrong on many levels... if the feature is left in the game it should be some super advanced high research technology. How can I disable this Teleportation ??


The general forum didn't know the answers... so I'm sure only the experienced veteran gamers will know the answers.
Any help would be great !!

Considering question#1 and question#2 are asking for mod-components to meet these needs... I don't see my topic as being in the wrong forum. Zulu9812 must be hitting the moonshine early today.

Any helpful answers?

Re: #2

Barbarians have access to everything other players have but most of the advanced units are replaced with a unique unit ... NONE. This means that they don't get a unit.

In Civ4CivilizationInfos.xml for CIVILIZATION_BARBARIAN you have (in part):

<Units>
								<Unit>
					<UnitClassType>UNITCLASS_MECHANIZED_INFANTRY</UnitClassType>
					<UnitType>NONE</UnitType>
				</Unit>
				<Unit>
					<UnitClassType>UNITCLASS_CROSSBOWMAN</UnitClassType>
					<UnitType>NONE</UnitType>
				</Unit>
				<Unit>
					<UnitClassType>UNITCLASS_CHARIOT</UnitClassType>
					<UnitType>NONE</UnitType>
				</Unit>
				<Unit>
					<UnitClassType>UNITCLASS_KNIGHT</UnitClassType>
					<UnitType>NONE</UnitType>
				</Unit>
				<Unit>
					<UnitClassType>UNITCLASS_CAVALRY</UnitClassType>
					<UnitType>NONE</UnitType>
				</Unit>
				<Unit>
					<UnitClassType>UNITCLASS_WAR_ELEPHANT</UnitClassType>
					<UnitType>NONE</UnitType>
				</Unit>
				<Unit>
					<UnitClassType>UNITCLASS_TANK</UnitClassType>
					<UnitType>NONE</UnitType>
				</Unit>
				<Unit>
					<UnitClassType>UNITCLASS_MODERN_ARMOR</UnitClassType>
					<UnitType>NONE</UnitType>
				</Unit>
				<Unit>
					<UnitClassType>UNITCLASS_GUNSHIP</UnitClassType>
					<UnitType>NONE</UnitType>
				</Unit>
				<Unit>
					<UnitClassType>UNITCLASS_CATAPULT</UnitClassType>
					<UnitType>NONE</UnitType>
				</Unit>
				<Unit>
					<UnitClassType>UNITCLASS_CANNON</UnitClassType>
					<UnitType>NONE</UnitType>
				</Unit>
				<Unit>
					<UnitClassType>UNITCLASS_MACHINE_GUN</UnitClassType>
					<UnitType>NONE</UnitType>
				</Unit>
				<Unit>
					<UnitClassType>UNITCLASS_ARTILLERY</UnitClassType>
					<UnitType>NONE</UnitType>
				</Unit>
</Units>

Just remove any entry for a unit you want the barbarians to be able to build. Also, just above this section you can do the same for any building that you want the barbarians to be able to build.

NT_Jedi, please post these types of questions in the Civ4 - Creation & Customization forum. This forum is for posting "completed" mod components.

Thanks RogerBacon for the CultureBorder Mod and the answer about Barbarians.

Thanks TheLopez for the PiratesMod and theKraken.


Certainly someone knows the answers to the questions.
Any answers would be great!
