[BtS] "Mars, Now!"

[Tssha]

You know, instead of hijacking this mod, you could perhaps make a mod-mod.

Otherwise, it wouldn't really be a HUGE issue to have flavour text refer to Mars when you're actually on Titan. Consider it a bonus feature to the original mod, with the original focus being Mars. That is, if The_J was willing to provide the means for switching textures. If that kind of thing pulls you out of your immersion, you may want to consider a mod-mod and changing the flavour references yourself.

Of course, there's nothing stopping you from doing all of this yourself. Aside from not knowing how to do it, of course.

When I downloaded the .rar file, I noticed it had two uninstall.exe files included. Shouldn't there be an install.exe?

 

[The_J]

I guess, you mean the .zip file .
If you have the file already unpacked, then it doesn't need to be really installed. Cut the whole folder "marsjetzt-v03" out, and paste it into C:\Program Files\Firaxis Games\Civilization4\BeyondTheSword\Mods (or whereever you've installed civ).

The 2 uninstall .exes are somehow a bug, but not serious .
I'll re-upload the zipped version in the next days (hopefully).

AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
JUST PLAYED IT TODAY AND ITS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
one problem though the mutanats look like incan warriors.
BUT OTHER THAN THAT AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[The_J]

Thanks .
If you think, this is amazing, you also should try Rhye's And Fall, Fall from Heaven 2, Planetfall and Dune Wars, they are way better .


Well, the inca...mayas would make more sense .
No, serious: Go to your Civ 4 graphics options menu, and activate the animations there (i'm sure, they are turned off). That will fix the issue.

Water roads very cool

 

[globalempire]

Is this not enough for the moment ?



I'm still thinking about, what exactly i'll do next. I'll organize myself a bit better, and split the patches in themes, so that there's a focus, what i want to change. That should make the developement time shorter, i hope.
But sadly, i don't have enough time now . Will minimum need one month until the next patch .

Great job!

Hijacking this mod?!?
Did you ever heard of these things:
User Idea's
Feedback
Positive Criticism

Probably not...
At least i dare to speak my mind , share my idea's with others , give new possibility's a chance and do not discredit other persons because i think they undermine and/or disturb others way of thinking .

The difference to people like me who like to think outside the box and normal people is that people like me cause progress.

I think The_J is one of those persons who like to think outside the box, elsewhise i cant imagine how he got the idea to do this spectacular mod.

 

[Tssha]

Oh come on...no one's oppressing you here. I'm just saying you can do this yourself, no need to derail the mod or to discard a lot of its flavour.

This is an awfully big post here, and it seems a little unnecessary, you so aggressively asserting your right to make suggestions...just a little over the top and insecure. I'm not calling any of your intellectual capacities into question, nor have I tried to persuade you not to make suggestions, I'm just disagreeing with a point you made. This doesn't need to be a performance or a protest march.

Frankly, I was just worried this would take away from the uniqueness of the mod. A lot of the flavour is wrapped up in the Mars setting, and taking references to Mars out would sack a lot of that flavour, which is half the reason I play this mod.

So yeah, your opinion isn't the only one that matters. Frankly, I wasn't being that harsh. I certainly don't feel I deserved such a dramatic response. If you don't like people disagreeing with you, then too bad. Don't take it personally, I just didn't like one of your ideas, no need to go over the top dramatic on me.

Sorry if i overreacted but i got attacked a lot of times for just speakin my mind so im a bit , how do you call it...
A bit irritated to people who tend to "defend" something uneccesary.
So i feel like im a little bit stepped on my toes.

As soon i get a idea people tell me to 'go away' 'do it myself"
Or even some say "dont you think the maker knows better" things.
So maybe you know why i react like that. I feel a bit unappreciated by those people.

So again sorry, my excuses if your that person that took my frustration while not deserving it.
