Bugfix 1.00 a for russian Missile Cruiser.
[BtS] Diversica
- Thread starter mamba
- Start date
This seems to strike many different mods and be due to the CIV core (and the excessive use of units in the mods which run into this kind of problem).
From what I gather there are basically two options : get a faster PC, play with a smaller map / less civs.
There are some threads on these issue, you might want to see if there is some more advice in there

Thanks will look at the links. But I have 4 gigs of RAM, Intel 2.6 Dual-core processor and I'm playing on a medium map with 8 civs, so it can not be due to map size or PC.
The change is sudden, i.e.: the game doesn't gradually slow down as the number of units grows.
Then a solution would be not to research radio 
Hm, at that size it really should not happen imo, time for me to actually play a game to that stage again soon
There is nothing special about radio though, it is just anther tech. Does this happen at Radio all the time, or was it a random slowdown (random as in happens eventually, but also for other techs) ?

You're right - I'm pretty sure Radio has nothing to do with it. I wrote radio just as an approximate time point when the slow down happened for me.
This is my first game with this patch (1.00).
I think I had the same problem with (0.95), but I definitely didn't have this problem with (0.90).
I think maybe the slowdown started when one of the AIs declared war on the other, so it might be due to all the military action going on, but I'm not sure. I will try to play a few more turns maybe bribe the AIs into stopping their silly war and see what happens, will report back later.
Yep, it is because of all the military action going on (show enemy moves is off and fog of war is on). There were two wars going on, I managed to bribe the AIs to stop the wars and turn-time decreased to not more than 10 seconds.
So it is due to modern wars, probably the amount of units created by the AI in the new patch is alot greater than what it was in previous patches. I also noticed that the greatest slowdown occurs at the beginning of the wars and as the units start to deminish the slowdown becomes less.
It is still ridiculous that it takes upto 5 mins in the beginning of the war though.

Good to know, so it is the core game (would have been surprised if it weren't).
Definitely.
Released a WoC based version of Diversica.
I just played my first game to that age, I experience no slowdown at all. Huge map, 10 civs still in the game (started out with 12). Even when I start to wage a large war (6 civs involved), there is no slowdown.

hey mamba did you make any DLL changes when you were making your mod?

thats what i thought, but i thought id ask to make sure thanks.
Thanks for checking it out for me. Maybe I deleted something or messed something up while installing mods, I'll try reinstalling the game.
I don't know what you did wrong either. So I guess we have to work on this a bit and hopefully figure it out that way. So I will be asking some (stupid) questions and hope to find the answer that way.
There actually are two Mods directories, one being My Games\Beyond the Sword\MODS, the other being <Civ4>\Beyond the Sword\Mods where <Civ4> is the directory you installed Civ4 in.
Which one did you install the mod in ? The latter is the right one
You did copy the Diversica_100.zip file to <Civ4>\Beyond the Sword\Mods and extract it there ?
When you load Diversica, does the top right corner say 'Diversica' ?
Are you using BtS version 3.17 ?

There could be the problem I installed 3.17 but there are no changes.
I mean the Stealth Destroyer is still able to bomb and it hasn`t 2 first strikes etc.
I don`t know why the patch isn`t but i will research a bit or do have an idea why the patch isn`t working?
Thanks for answer my questions to other mods were ignored.

Try reinstalling BtS, apparently you have some problems even with the regular game. I do not know if that will solve the Diversica issue for you (as the mod does not really require 3.17), but it is better to rule this one out before looking any further.
