[BTS] The History of Three Kingdoms

I belive there is a file posted that incorporates some terrain improvements... I don't know what type though. I just play with FfH terrain in my version, I can't stand the really light Vanilla stuff. Even Blue Marble seems a bit dull after playing with the FfH terrain.

Either way, I highly recommend you play the mod. It's amazing!

Yeah, your right I haven't noticed, the terrain is far better now.

Downloaded and playing. Awesome mod.

Glad you like the mod, but it's still vanilla terrain. I used to play with blue Marble, loving it, but aesthetic fatigue caught me up, and now I actually like to see vanilla terrain more for a change. A sign of having played too much Civ.:lol:
 
Is this mod dead??:rolleyes: What happened to the grand plan?
 
I doubt it's dead, probably the creators are just taking a nice break. They have pulled off an amazing feat getting so much done already.

Hopefully they decide that they want to add more to the mod, as the potential is still enormous.
 
I would rather call it hibernation.

The grand game called LIFE is so enticing that I have to leave the minigame called 'making HoTK Mod' aside for sometime. After all, life is so much more moddable than civ.

That said, we'll return with something even more disruptive and risky than the hero/legion system.

And about 'the grand plan': sorry AP, but people grow, and plan wouldn't.
 
This is one of my favorite mods... I really like the Hero and Legion systems. That said, there are a few improvements that can be made.

1. For the building improvements, some of the key text needs to be scrutinized a bit more. There are some wonders that reference 'Christianity' and 'Islam' (the Belief Wonders I believe).

2. The 'Hero Adviser' still states 'Corporation Adviser' on the normal screen if you hover your mouse over the icon.

3. More thematic music, please. I like the opening music, but the in-game music can also be upgraded to reflect the theme of the scenario, in my opinion.

Overall, this is an awesome mod, and I hope that you will be able to get around to it for these few minor changes. Thanks for the hard work!

I believe that there's an unofficial music pack that was posted on the first page or so, quite thematic!
 
So is it
Absence makes the heart fonder

or

Out of sight, out of mind?:crazyeye:
 
I'm trying not to. I'm usually of the latter type, so I keep going back to this page to see if there are any new updates, because otherwise I will probably forget about it.

RFC Europe is still a little unsatisfying to play, but I think they'll get better if they learn from HOTK.

What about RFC: Three Kingdoms?:crazyeye:
 
Well, RFC: Three Kingdoms might be a little much, but what would be great to see is an actual Three Kingdoms scenario. Maybe right after Liu Bei takes control of Cheng Du and Shu is established. That would be amazing to play! At the moment Liu Bei will never, ever, make it to the Yizhou region and even if he did, he wouldn't be able to conquer it until he has enough strength to win the game.

I've been having a bit of fun adding in a few heroes, and increased the death rate to spice up the game a little. Actually, random maps with 6000 pt Advanced Start + 15 players makes for some real fun, as the heroes get purchased, they betray much more frequently, and the civs are relatively balanced! I would really recommend it to anyone who likes a little variety!
 
THank you stmartin..

It's a great mod. As a fan of Koei's strategy games series: Romance of Three Kingdoms, I always wanted to see CIV4's variation mod like this. Great works really!!

But..

I should bring up this: The openning theme. It's a map of China in the Three Kingdom era.
Among those, Cao Cao's Kingdom contains North Korea, which is not right historically.

I don't know whether you and your team are Chinese guys or not. It dons not matter.
Korea is NOT and HAS NEVER BEEN a part of China throughout history, but recently they started to claim the reverse.

There must be some political and economic reason for that. Anyway, Korean people are really upset for that.

So if this is not meant so, I ask you to correct this with all my respect.

You know, I really don't make any trouble or argument here.
But I need to bring this up to inform the other users in different countries that this kind of thing should not be taken for granted.

Thank you again..
ps: I am a big fan of civ4 from Korea, as expected..
 
You know, I wondered about that. But in fact, Gongsun Du did occupy the northern Korea for a while when he was a vassal of Cao Cao:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lelang

Quote:
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Gongsun Du, appointed as the Governor of Liaodong in 184, extended his semi-independent domain to the Lelang and Xuantu commanderies. His son Gongsun Kang separated the southern half from the Lelang commandery and established the Daifang commandery in 204. As a result, the Lelang commandery reverted to its original size.

It was not conquered until 313AD by Goguryeo, one of the early Korean kingdoms:

The chaos following the fall of the Han Dynasty, the former Han commanderies had broken free of control and were ruled by various independent warlords. Surrounded by these commanderies, who were governed by aggressive warlords, Goguryeo moved to improve relations with the newly created Wei Dynasty of China and sent tribute in 220 CE. In 238 CE, Goguryeo entered into a formal alliance with the Wei to destroy the Liaodong commandery. When Liaodong was finally conquered by Wei, cooperation between Wei and Goguryeo fell apart and Goguryeo attacked the western edges of Liaodong, which incited a Wei counterattack in 244. On this occasion, Wei reached and destroyed the Goguryeo capital at Mt. Hwando. It is said that the king of Goguryeo, with his army destroyed, fled alone and sought refuge with the Okjeo tribes in the east.
The Wei armies thought they had destroyed Goguryeo and soon left the area. However, in only 70 years, Goguryeo rebuilt their capital at Mt. Wandu and again began to raid Liaodong, Lelang and Xuantu commandaries. As Goguryeo extended its reach into the Liaodong peninsula, the last Chinese commandery at Lelang was conquered and absorbed by Micheon of Goguryeo in 313, bringing the northern part of the Korean peninsula into the fold [19]. From that point on, until the 7th century C.E., territorial control of the peninsula would be contested primarily by the Three Kingdoms of Korea.

In any case, China's hold on Korea was never permanent, but it is historically plausible that Wei's boundaries extend towards northern Korea during the time of the Three Kingdoms.

If you really want to be pissed off, go complain to Rhye and ask him why China or Japan always have Korea in RFC, instead of a separate Korean civ. :p:

@stmartin
This is such an amazingly innovative and detailed mod. I stumbled upon it while researching what new promotions could be possible and I have to say I was extremely inspired by what was done with Three Kingdoms to perhaps make the mod I have always imagined. I hope that you do not mind people borrowing and tweaking some of the things you and your team have done here.

The problem is that when I try to play, I am getting crashes. Could this be because I have been playing a custom game rather than just starting the mod and playing the scenario?

I would appreciate your reply to both my points here when you get the chance, especially the second one as I want to play! :D In the meantime, I will try just playing a normal version of the mod.
