[BtS] "Extra"

[Chiyu]

@Jabie: I added a few songs from other mods. Not too many songs though, since mp3s can REALLY make the mod unnecessarily big...

@rwglaub: The Guildsman is a unit from the Crossroads of the World mod. It was present in the Vikings mod too, although there it was simply called "Treasure". They work a little different in Extra though. They're like weaker versions of the Great Merchant - you can use them for a trade mission only. Plus their trade missions don't give that much money as the Great Merchant's. There is only one in the game, and you get it by researching the Guilds technology. Since the knights were moved from Guilds to Chivalrous Lifestyle, I had to do something to make the Guilds technology still worthwhile . And I didn't do anything to the great people rate, in fact, there are now more possibilities to accumulate them faster (from the Leaning Tower wonder).

@PreLynMax: That's a good idea. I could do that in a later update.

@JEELEN: Nice map pack ^^.

@ Jeelen : I'm playing the Map with Scythia, very very nice...

I'm playing Romans...

What about Celtia, Nubia and Phoenicia (or Judah) ? Macedon or Malinese Kingdom ? Can we have more than 18 Civs ? 25 should nice, all in ancient world

@ Chiyu : can you add the possiibility to have a max of 40 Civs, the famous 40civs.dll ?

Because 40 Civs without barbarians (only barbarians cities for filling empty areas) should be nice...

Thx again. BTW, with the latest Civ4 Editor you can edit civs quite easily now.

Which Editor is that Jeelen?

EDIT:

@Chiyu: BTW, I did a little bit of playtesting and the Extra beta version seems to work just fine, with the maps and all.

Hi all, as adviced by Jeelen, i attempted a few to make a scenario, but its too hard...

I generated an Earth with Earth2.py and placed civ, cities and religions but i was not too sure...

So i leave my work, the religions have not the same logic, i placed landmarks for all religions, open worldbuilder to see, sorry i cant much more but i hope that you will understand me

Feel free too complete it

Pretty much anything that came with Civ4, Civ 3 or Colonization, as appropriate to time period. "Baba Yetu" for Ancient Times. The opening menus for the scenarios in their time specific period. Most of the Colonization is either rennaisance, industrial or, for the tribes, Ancient.

Keeping with the music theme, I have tried to add Civ4: Colonization music to BtS and my game keeps crashing. I've figured out how to do everything for diplomacy music, but the main map music kept crashing. I defined everything in the exact same way and modified the EraInfos.xml file, but to no avail.

If you guys figure this out, I will be very interested in learning how you did it.

More text "bugs": Mesoamerican Missionaries' titles aren't capitalized.
Edit: Jeleen, nice map packs, dude!

You're welcome!

For making a scenario it would be easier just to use one of the maps from my Map Pack. Nice try, though.

EDIT: The Map View editor is also useful (currently at v. 2.0)

My game keeps crashing when I end my turn.

At first I thought it was something to do with Civil Service, which I was about to discover, but I went into the editor and gave myself the tech and began researching another, all to no avail. After I hit enter, the music stops, mouse turns into the spinning world, and when I minimize game it says Civ 4 is not responding.

Help! I was really enjoying the game I was playing... I have attached my save in case anyone wants to take a gander. Thanks in advance!

 

[an0e]

I have tried reinstalling the mod, lowering my graphics settings, turning off all audio settings, and nothing has worked so far...

Other than this, I really REALLY like this mod, it adds significant new options to the gameplay while still keeping it the Civ we all know and love. Good work!

 

[PreLynMax]

An0e... odd.. it works fine from end to end here.
I think you should change Obama's favorite civic from Emancipation to Mercantilism (because his policy involves bring jobs back to the U.S., and stop relying on foreign resorces).

His real economic policy in his own words: "Spread the wealth around".....

Take from the middle class and give it to the poor...

No, it's more like take from the rich and give it to the poor.
But I'm not rich so I don't mind!

It would fit better to give "environmentalism" to B.OB (Barak OBama).

Hmmm... maybe. Even though Obama has talked about spending on clean energy, he haven't acted out how he is going to do that yet. So far, he has been ranting about keeping jobs in the country though, hence my idea that he should have Mercantilism.

So far, it's a split between Environmentalism and Mercantilism.

 

[snipperrabbit!!]

environmentalism = harder corporation upkeep + more health (from funding biology research,clean energy, healthcare program, ...) ie 3 more spec for sci,com,eng,esp,mil + some more commerce from improv (more research, income, culture, ... espionage)

Hi I'm getting a CTD on the same turn each time, have try to do things different on the turn before but no luck, if someone has the time could they look at my save to see if they can see anything that's a problem....thanks for your time. p.s using the lastest beta verion.
