BTS Beta-1

Where is the BtS HOF mod? All I see at the rules are mods for vanilla and warlords. Thanks!
There is a mods link about 5 down from the Rules/FAQ Link along the left hand side of the HOF Web Page.

Edit: @Ozbenno, I didn't see your response. :goodjob:
 
Submitted an entry for this one, 1796 I think.

The new version of Map Finder worked without any problems, the new BtS HoF mod the same.

I played with random events on and got this one.



Unbalanced?

I also had the slave revolt event in my capital 4 times.
It requires an unimproved forest in the late game including roads so I dont think so (since by then all my forests are either preserved, lumbermilled, or chopped, with roads/rails)

FWIW I had a game where I was cruising to a simple victory when I accidently declared war. :mad:
 
Gah, you beat me. I won in 1846. I even popped two settlers in the first ten turns...I need to get better at this game.

In BtS, I always leave one city (with decent food and production) with all its original forests to build the National Park (National Wonder), supplies a free specialist with every forest preserve. With Statue of Liberty and Industrial Park I had 8 or 9 engineers running in this city by the end of the game.

Agreed. I've been looking for it for 2 days. Where the heck is the download?
There are some new people that might want to try this out, such as myself.
 
There are links to the mod in posts #21 and #22 of this thread.

Thanks, I have the mod now, I've read the rules several times. Anyone want to tell me where the download is?

The Moderators have all these links to this, but no-where do I see a zip to download.

Nevermind, there is no download. I guess you just go in, set the rules and play. My bad. Thanks.

There is no download for the gauntlets. You just load up the HoF mod and enter the gauntlet conditions manually and start playing. You may want to use Map Finder as well (found here) to generate a map of your liking.

Enjoy :)

Thanks Oz, but that won't be necessary. Im one of those players that is, well, lets just say not real experienced. I'm playing and submitting for fun. I could never win. Heck, I still don't understand how vassaling works, lol. Thanks.
 
My first attempt went down the drain due to a stupid mistake. I wasn't paying attention and when I loaded the game back up, I accidently loaded an earlier save. By the time I realized, it was too late. There's one game scrapped.

My second attempt was an OCC and very quickly I realized it wasn't worth it, so I tossed that one too.

My third attempt is going much better, which is also an OCC game. My time won't be very good, as I'm not really going for a fast finish. I took a detour for the AP as I haven't played with it yet, even though I knew it would really slow this game down. Even though it's only a Warlord game, OCC doesn't help on votes. :lol:
 
What are the biggest things that people are noticing when playing this BTS Beta Gauntlet? What previously entrenched Vanilla or Warlords tactic are you having to toss out the window?

Space Race has changed quite a lot from Vanilla and Warlords. There are new technologies and old technologies do new things. Before, I used to have a milestone tech order of research for space (Industrialism, Rocketry, Robotics, Computers, Fusion, Genetics), The first two are still right but I'm not sure now on the rest.

Health in the late game is a major problem (especially in your production cities) as well so techs like Refrigeration and Medicine are more important.
 
Does this mean I can pick any number of opponents or any number of opponents between 6 and 10 as defined in the HOF rules on standard maps?

Occaisionally we require that you play versus specific opponents. The Any means you can choose your opponents, or have them set as random. And yes, you must have between the minumum and maximum # of opponents allowed for the size map.
 
I get a message, when I am playing the BTS-HoF-mod, that I have changed the original assets of the game and that my savegame is not valid for HoF-using.
The only thing, which I have modified, is the BTS-ini, because the HoF-mod did not have started before. I had the known bug-message, which you can read in the service-thread. To solve this problem, i used the "000..."-solution.
Will my beta-attempt be accepted?
 
Will my beta-attempt be accepted?

Go to the F8 screen and click on settings. You'll see in red what is wrong. If it's just a warning regarding hemisphere, balanced settings, and/or random events, than you should have nothing to worry about. If it is something else, than please state exactly what the warning says.

Other than that, we cannot tell you whether your game will be accepted until you submit it.

I cannot see, what is wrong.
Aaaaaaaaaah a fellow german :D Any chance that your problem is the same as described in this thread?
Basically check your .../Firaxis Games/Sid Meier's Civilization 4/Beyond the Sword/Assets/CvGameCoreDLL.dll if it says "last modified July 2nd" you are fine, if it says "last modified July 4th" it is the unpatched german version :crazyeye: and you have to move/rename/delete it and reapply the patch...

As ori says, but if that isn't it or you are confused. Use the assetchecker found in the first post the thread and post your csv file.
