Always good but now it is not possible to personnalize, that is regretable !

(En gros : l'option personnaliser le scénario est manquante, d'autant plus qu'avec les options de base on ne peut pas vassaliser, dur !)

 

[AzureMonster]

I disabled that feature!
No problem, Here's the 2nd solution for you: Under Mods\Earth35\Earth 35 Civs.ini

find this string:

; No Custom Scenario option in main menu
NoCustomScenario = 1

Change the 1 with 0 and you will be able to play custom match: Here's the result:

; No Custom Scenario option in main menu
NoCustomScenario = 0

Why disable Custom Games and Scenario?

This is an awesome looking Mod. I found it when looking for a replacement to my 40 Civs Mod. However I'd like to use this with other Maps. I'm a veteran of Earth games and the included Rhys map isn't one of my favs. I'd love to be able to use your mod with the the Giant Earth Map

 

[Liambane]

Why disable Custom Games and Scenario?

As far I Know the option CUSTOM SCENARIO let crash the game in this version and I really dunno why. Maybe Gamecore.dll fault....

I'd love to be able to use your mod with the the Giant Earth Map

GEM is TOO BIG for my taste. I can't stay 100 turns without meet nobody, without war or HURRY for colonize...

 

[Liambane]

New (and Hopefull Final) version 2.3 under progress.

Feature still added and working:

- Added Better BTS AI 48 civ gamecore.dll

- BeginPlayers feature arranged for continents.
- Apache, Iroquois, Tupi and Arawak now all with differents Unique Unit and Unique Building.
- Some leaders and civilizations has now different traits and starting technologies.

Feature that need to be fixed:

- Limited Religion Feature.

First I have to say that I'm a huge fan of your first mod ,that was, and still just *perfect* . And now I'm testing your 35 new earth map (35 !! where are the 5 civ that are missing ?) and ...... What a disappointment ! .... No more France , No more Portugal , no more Holland I've forgot the others but well ... Europe is quite empty and don't even looks like Europe without France or Holland or greece (maybe I'm quite fed up because I'm french) some of the leaders don't have the same faces , Why did you change Dom Pedro and John Curtin ?
Plus ,It's impossible to custom game >.< , well , yes I can modify with notepad but ..
Plus , but it allready been in Earth 40 map , I can't chose the leader of the civilization . I don't know anything in modding so it's maybe just impossible I don't know =/ .
and you did a really great job and I'm maybe dissappointed because Earth 40 civ was just perfect . I think I will continue playing with Earth 40 because for me it's better than the new one , Can you tell me what is the patch (version)to make run your 40 civ map ?

Thx buddy... I don't think it was so perfect. There were a lots of errors, "cloned" civilizations (Tupi, apache, Iroquois), Owerpowered (Egypt and China) and Unuseful (Rome, Celts, Babilon, Greece, Spain\Portugal, Holland\France block each others growht... Europe was Always rich but weak...

No more France

Since you are not the first to ask this, France will be back in v2.3 of my mod replacing Celts.

Europe is quite empty

Are you kidding? in less than 50 turns there's no more room for build cities!

some of the leaders don't have the same faces. Why did you change Dom Pedro and John Curtin?

Cause actuals Leaderheads are the "official ones".

Plus ,It's impossible to custom game

That was because the Gamecore.dll I used was "young" not so good. Custom Game will be possible again in v2.3 thanks to Better BTS AI 48 civ gamecore.dll (The actual BEST ONE)

Version to make run your 40 civ map ?

It will works ONLY with BTS 3.17... Before you try, DON'T SWAP the Gamecore.dll or the map from Earth35 to Earth40 or the mod will crush...

Thanks a lot for your reply ! you've really reassure me (thank you for France )
Just one thing , I 've understood why you deleted some civilzations and I must admit that it's clever because you're right the duo France/Holland overgrowt , Greece was allways powerless . The point is this civilizations are all important Greece is where democracy was born and cosidered to be the cradle of western civilization and I really enjoy having my capital at Athènes (even if playing with greeks is really really difficult ) or Bribracte and it's the same thing as Babylon , Holland ect . The point is , that 's right ,this map is more balanced but less ... Rich I hope you see what I mean ; In you first map there was more civilizations that we can chose so it's the only thing that I will regret in this version , It's not you fault but maybe you can do something ?

May you can do a version with 35 civilizations and one with 40 civilization ? I don't know if it's possible but I really hope so . I just want to repeat that you're the best your maps kick asses and for me they are the best map .

 

[Liambane]

I 've understood why you deleted some civilzations and I must admit that it's clever

That's why now is 35 civilizations!

The point is this civilizations are all important.

I know but Map Dimension are "small" for all theese european civs. As European (I'm Italian) it's hard to choiche wich ones to remove, believe me...

May you can do a version with 35 civilizations and one with 40 civilization ? I don't know if it's possible but I really hope so.

Il est possible mais serà tres difficile avoir un bon gameplay. Je peux faire une autre carte et ajouter au folder "Privatemaps" avec cette Earth35 carte.
(Do I write good french? I studied it time ago)

I hope you RATED this thread with 5 stars! but looks like you didn't!

Trés bon français indeed , Maybe it would be really great if you can do it , yes One map for 35 and one other for 40 , in the old 40 map sometimes I deleted some civilizations so it wasn't a problem of gameplay for me (in the game inself)to keep playing with ,an other example : On day I wanted to play Greece but I just couldn't let some other european civ arround because the gameplay would be affected so I deleted Justinian's civ to let Greece expand , and if I'd better liked playing Justinian I deleted Greece at the beginning of the game and to not favour me I deleted some other civ in Europe like celts and I don't know Holland for example(I know it's quite cheaty but It the only thing I found to allow me to play Greece Or Bisantins Or both) , I hope I'm understandable

I know but Map Dimension are "small" for all theese european civs. As European (I'm Italian) it's hard to choiche wich ones to remove, believe me...

I know it's not your fault but the game himself .There is nothing we can do about it , territory are really important in Civ , so Europe wich is tiny have this problem .In real life this problem does not really exists Europe is really rich not because of the tall of the continent but because of other stuff like research and economy . Is there nothing you can do about it ? , maybe you can speed up the research speed for European civ (not a lot) but I don't know if it's really a great idea and if it's possible and if it would not unbalance the game. In 40 civ I didn't have problem with europe ; When I was playing Russia (I was first score) France was really powerful maybe because of the researches I exchanged sometimes (but not a lot).

I hope you RATED this thread with 5 stars! but looks like you didn't!

I'll do it just after posting this How can I do this ?

 

[Liambane]

it's quite cheaty but It the only thing I found to allow me to play Greece Or Bisantins

Did you see? Earth 35 is better...

Is there nothing you can do about it ?

The only thing is to balance europe with less nations as it is right now. If you see the map Europe is FULL OF RESOURCES. If you see the Russian Asia, is MEDIUM\LOW of resources cause there is a lot of territory.

How can I do this ?

Search with your browser the words "rating" on the thread. You will see RATING: **** (4 stars). Click on the stars and give your opinion of the map.

 

[Lithiumstar]

I agree with you , everything is fine ,I even like celts in France . just some litte details :
* why did you deleted Canada ? , that was one of my favorite's nation .
* Maybe You can do another map with other civilization ? Celts/french Iroquois/canadian and other leaders maybe ?
* I've also noticed that America is often powerless , Iroquois too (maybe because they are to close of each others ?)

I just reinstalled Civ4 Complete and directly patched to 3.19 and added your mod and have a very annoying bug... I cannot access any of the commands via the mouse for Great Prophets (not yet come across other affected units). It's as if the icon bar is "below" the viewport (note how the unit on bottom right is highlighted on mouseover-ing the Kong Miao):

I cannot access any of the commands via the mouse for Great Prophets

Only 3 reasons for this:

1) You didn't discovered PRIESTHOOD.
2) You haven't a STATE RELIGION.
3) Can Be a Gamecore bug.

By the way I'm uploading the Final (I hope) version of this mod. A LOT OF THINGS are improved... Next version will be BUG-FREE i guess

1 & 2 shouldn't matter, as I was using that as an example... because it affects the whole menu bar, as things like delete unit/move unit/etc don't work. Like I said, it is like as if that part of the UI is "underneath" the game view-port.

PS: Added an AutoSave of a test game... I've two prophets in Beijing. Hopefully yoIu see what mean?

Unfortunately I don't have no more the Earth 35 Civs uploaded on the net cause I'm 99% ready for the next FINAL relase that isn't compatible with the previous version so I can't check that savegame. Maybe some other players will.

By the way, My mod doesn't influence the great priest unity in any ways. Maybe is some errors correlated to the gamecore or something else. I'm sorry for this strange bug, but I never had that. Maybe with the next version things will fix by themselves.

However, thx for bug report.

Any ideas why the game crashes after i load this MOD?

Read the previous page of the thread. you maybe need to move a file. This bug is fixed with new version.

 

[Lachlan]

What about including Better AI Mod or BUG mod ?

Because, see AI attitudes before contacting is a necessity...

 

[killinginstyle]

Do you have Blue Marble Mod installed?
I had this problem too but... It fixed by himself (I really dunno why)

Here's what I've done:
Try to delete (at least MOVE to desktop) the Earth35\Assets\Art\Interface\MainMenu\Beyond_The_Sword_MainMenu.dds file and Start the game.

Once you start a game, save it and create a link to the savegame on desktop and put back the Main menu file.

Then load the mod using the savegame link... This worked for me...

Let me know, pls...

I don't have Blue Marble MOD yet the game still crashes even when i tried to fix it with this method...

I'll just wait for the new version i guess
