[Liambane]

I tried out your mod last night and it looks great. You have put a lot of effort into it and it is much appreciated. I have a couple of concerns thought before I give in for a game. Firstly, everything is in Italian! Is there an easy way to fix this? I tried editing various xml files, using the Dutch and English civs for testing but the leader names stayed in Italian even if I removed all traces of the Italian names in all the XML files. I saw a few pages back that it looks like the actual map file can be edited? I didn't try that but I was hoping there was some global flag that just needs to be set back to English.

Secondly, have you or anyone tried a marathon game using this mod? I see many of the earth map mods suffer from weird bugs when playing marathon such as the game finishing extra early. I only play at that speed and don't feel like spending a week playing the game only to find that it ends in 1900!

Thanks!

everything is in Italian!

OMG! This old bug always come out.... I Apologize but I'm not a PRO modder so I make lots of mistakes... However for remove this annoying bug for non-italian users just go under PrivateMaps in the mod. Right click on the Earth Giant map and edit with NOTEPAD

For remove italian names: (for each Player )

Repeat this process for each player in game and SAVE your work in the end.
After this, the game become the language you have!

However I put a map with no italian names in the 1st page. Go check it out.

have you or anyone tried a marathon game using this mod? Thanks!

I never tried marathon cause i set the NORMAL SPEED altered research and years speed that should be accurate for this map. Try normal speed and not Marathon... The game is slower enough in this way i think.

Thx for Bug report!

Great mod =) ... Would be great if there was a "large" earth map for this one though, I couldn't find one that would work

 

[j45]

Great job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
if you add more technologys, it would be made the mod perfect
and there have any updated mod come out?

 

[blitzkrieg80]

Liambane, I used your lovely map (altered a bit) for my 1784AD scenario with the Wolfshanze Mod, I hope that's ok.

 

[Civmatrix]

Thanks. It looks good. Ill check out the English version.

 

[sh4dowknight]

Liam, can you make a version of this mod combined with the BTS AI mod? The AI mod is great, and has so many fixes for the vanilla AI. I don't ever play the game without the AI mod anymore, but I really want to play this map.

 

[Liambane]

Hi all!!!

Long time i don't come here to see what's going on...

WOW Looks like 1266 people downloaded the mod.

Thank all of you!!!

 

[Liambane]

Thanx all of you for download my mod and post ideas.

Dude, my map is still large, but if you need larger one first of all you need a SUPER COMPUTER. However, if you are skilled in modding civilization IV, you can pick a bigger earth map (there are lots) on the forum and convert it in my mod.

Thx man! I used to start this mod with the next war technology and it was good. I don't remember why i removed them from the mod! Actually i'm not working in another update of this mod, but if you're able, you can do it!!! It's not so hard but I don't have time!

Blitzkrieg80

No problem, dude!!! I like people use my job for their mods. I will try your mod... Seems very interesting!

Civmatrix

Thx for trying my mod. If you find some bugs, please report! Remember that if you don't want italian names, just download the other map

I never tried AI mod for civ4, but i think that it can be easily merged into my mod. Try and see if it works!!!

Yeah they both have .DLL files, and I have no idea how to make a new .DLL file, or combine the .DLL files... =(

 

[Liambane]

Sorry but i don't have any skill in modding ddl files!

At least try to overwrite the dll files in my mod and see the result!

NOTE: MAKE A COPY OF MY DLL FILE BEFORE OVERWRITE!

Excellent map. Carthage is actually playable (very rare on an Earth map) and theres no lag .
I have a few quibbles with resource placement but nothing serious, oh, and I'm still getting the Italian names but its not like I can't tell whos who.

edit: I did find Normal Speed still seems far too quick (for me used to playing at Marathon) despite the changes you made to it. Love the Olives.

 

[Liambane]

Excellent map...

Many thx for feedback AmazonQueen...
Resuorce placement is for balance... I quit the idea to put realistic resuorces cause with 40 civs is hard to have a different game experience each time. Some civs becomes always leader in this map...

For the italian names just download the map without italian names in the first post and replace it.

Normal speed is maybe too quick but depend by the "power" of your civilization... However is easy to edit the gamespeedinfo.xml for what you require...

I like olives resource too... That's why i put them...! A Mediterranean Resource...

 

[Vylinius]

does it work with 3.17?

 

[Vylinius]

sorry for posting I didn't read change log going to try this out now

 

[Liambane]

Guys I bought Colonizations.... Nice Game... Maybe i will do a mod for that game too...

 

[Yeekim]

I just want to give this map my highest recommendation - and bow in front of it author!

Just what I've been looking for: Huge Earth Map where all continents are evenly populated, featuring unique unit skins! Supreme!

You won't mind if I sig this?
