Update: SVN 745
Added in Vokarya's CivEffects fix. http://forums.civfanatics.com/showpost.php?p=13312562&postcount=2105

But I forgot to update the Mod.py file for updating the Mod version. Drat! So 745 on hover over flag will still read 744. If I can remember where that file is I'll update it.

EDIT: Update 746 Update Mod version to correct my previous slip up.

• Fixed text Factory/industry

 

[45°38'N-13°47'E]

I was wondering, is there a reason why for maps to be traded only one civ has to know Cartography? IMO, both should have cartography in order to trade maps. If I'm not mistaken, it's an easy change from

if (GET_TEAM(getTeam()).isMapTrading() || GET_TEAM(GET_PLAYER(eWhoTo).getTeam()).isMapTrading())

to

if (GET_TEAM(getTeam()).isMapTrading() && GET_TEAM(GET_PLAYER(eWhoTo).getTeam()).isMapTrading())

I've always felt that world map is being discovered too quickly, and this is important especially since trading maps you can "cheat" and be the first to prove the world round.
What do you think about it?

 

[Arakhor]

That seems sensible to me.

 

[Noyyau]

Same thing applies to tech trading as well, in my opinion.

You mean both should have alphabet? Mmmm, sounds more radical, but you might be right. Other opinions?

Totally fine with this.

I agree both.

 

[os79]

Personally, I think that Trading Techs is weird game mechanic. Technologies in the game is not necessarily technologies always. They are sometimes concepts or understandings that a civ come to in their growth. So I always have Tech Diffusion do the job. That was why I was very interested in improved Tech Diffusion discussion and its implementation here.

I remember a time when Alphabet was a completely optional tech
Could win a Space Race without ever getting it.


On topic though, I wouldn't mind Tech Trading being restricted to both civs requiring Alphabet. Map Trading both requiring Cartography is indeed a good idea to me though.

For consistency I'm doing the same for Tech, Maps and Gold (both civs will need Currency).

 

[45°38'N-13°47'E]

rev754

• Fixed resolution text for civics vote (english only)
• Increased gold required for Tax Collector Event
• Tech, Map and Gold trading now requires that both civs possess the right tech

[rev753 included some minor C++ fix by Afforess]

 

[platyping]

Shouldn't that apply to open borders, defensive pacts etc

Mmmm, you might be right; always for consistency, it should be so. Other opinions?
