When something gets hit you get the blood splash - it was horrible.

Yeah a bit over the top for a Grand Strategy 4X game impo. Just sayin'.

Thanks Toffer! I was hoping I could get those on this end so I could test it thoroughly.
I'm also thinking it might be best if we design new leaders for the Aggressive and Passive Animal NPCs.
That's kind of ludicrously squeamish isn't it? I mean I don't care either way but we are living in 2016 y'know? The blood splatter effect seems pretty G rated to me. (Ok, maybe PG...) Still... the only thing disturbing about it to me was that it was a little cheesy perhaps.

Not squeamish at all. And this is not a Movie either.
This is just not the right type of "game" for that kind of stuff. If you want blood and gore go play Zombie Hunter or some other FPS. This is a tactics and strategy game with units that portray multiple to thousands of units and graphics like that are just not needed. Perhaps you've become a bit too desensitized to bloodshed and violence? Just sayin'.
But if you or SO want to post a Poll to ask players if they want Blood all over the place then by all means do it. If it passes, then just give me some info on how to remove it from My C2C set.

You have to remember that flashing and stuff gave me really bad motion sickness. So much so that when it was in I could not play the mod at all.

I suppose I believe that desensitization is a good thing. We are never going to make it out of life alive. The more we can embrace that understanding of our mortality and keep the denial of the inevitable that tends to blanket ourselves in false security to the point that we cease to live life strategically and value each moment as if it could be our last, the better. This is not to say we should be promoting violence, but accepting that it is a part of the way of the world helps us to be better prepared for it when it comes.
I get opposing arguments as well and also strongly believe that some video game violence, in particular first person violence based video games, is likely the true culprit at the heart of the wave of random gun violence we've seen sweeping the country.
So to be honest I don't think it matters here either way. Certainly not an issue I'd do anything to support or deny. I just have to chuckle when someone feels it's somehow disturbing given how entirely impersonal it is in this venue.
Ok... now that does make sense. The less we inspire mental disruption and distraction when playing the better. On the flipside, if re-implemented, perhaps it should be done with an option so as to appeal to those who want a little bit more adrenaline (and I mean a little) when playing Civ. That said, will this game ever really appeal to primal adrenaline or will it always be more appealing to those who operate on a little more cranial and less primal wavelength anyhow? I certainly don't turn to Civ based gaming for in the moment spontaneous intense action... quite the opposite - it's nice to have a game platform where calm and patient thoughtful decision making is rewarded over time stressed decisive action. And I'm not sure any amount of 'blood spray' will be rewarding enough to those who prefer the latter to make any dent in appealing to that crowd. Then again, if it did, it probably should be an option for them rather than something to intrude on the senses of the rest of us.
EDIT: Actually, truth be told, I really wish that Civ had never moved into animation at all. CivII had streamlined that right out and I felt it helped to focus more on the game.

Which is why most of my friends never moved from Civ II and still play it.
Inside the resource folder was three pictures:
Are you trolling me? I can't seem to understand your request at all.

Dont know what u mean by trolling, but yes thats the 3 pics, IF u look at FfH, like i said above, those three pic should appear INGAME and currently do NOT for some reason, and i think it might be because of the wrong sizing or formats or something??

Okay; I'll have a look, it would have been advantageous to know where in-game they are supposed to appear so I could check if my changes helps or not.
EDIT: the file formats seems to be correct, though we have a diffent resolution than the original files used in vanilla.
The "Resource\temp\civ4_title_small.dds" is fetched, as far as I can see, only by the dll (CvDLLButtonPopup.cpp).
Spoiler :
The problem is that the files we have are of a different resolution.
Ours are 192x96 and both _small and normal sized are identical files.
Continuation of last post.
So the DLL (CvDLLButtonPopup.cpp) should be changed like so:
gDLL->getInterfaceIFace()->popupAddDDS(pPopup, "resource/temp/civ4_title.dds", 192, 96);
I have no idea if the different aspect ratio ( 4:1 → 2:1 ) of our picture will mess up something else in the interface context it is used in.

I don't honestly know anything about this area of the dll enough to know what I'd be doing there. Not yet anyhow.
