"You dont need to game or buy always the newest game, you only need to game a good and far developed, deep and working game." -Pit

Hi! We are good to go, so let's go. Ultimate Earth Map V5.8 scenario/map released for Caveman2Cosmos!
Please report all bugs, problems and things you encounter here and feel free to post questions if you have any. Have fun.

You have only 3 options! Try to survive, become the world leader or die.
Can you make it from Caveman2Cosmos on the planet earth?

RECOMMEND: If you use steam, use Civilization IV: Beyond the Sword Beta "Original release" in Betas in steam.

TAKE THE UEM CHALLENGE - HARD SCENARIO - GAME RULES:
1. Dont change anything in the scenario, game the scenario as it is preset.
2. Game on nightmare difficulty and on eternity game speed.
3. Dont reload, take the outcome you get, dont cheat, be honest to yourself and if you fail try again, or try to survive.
4. Use these BUG settings:
Turn off "Damaging terrain" in game in BUG (Green bug icon left upper in game) on a new game.
Disable "Battlefield promotions" in game in BUG (Green bug icon left upper in game) on a new game. (Off by default)
(Optional) Also disable "Minimize AI turn time" so you get all combat animations.
5. Do not turn events off, random events can hit you or benefit you, so the game can change the direction randomly and its not so linear.
6. If you like report your games here.

MAKE SURE TO READ THE INSTALLATION DESCRIPTION WITH MAF FIX MORE DOWN HERE TO INSTALL UEM CORRECTLY!

Actual Information and Features:

Real Massive Scale - Real Large Earth Map + Massive Space Map.
UEM has 232x200 = 46400 plots on map. (Normal GEM has 210x90 = 18900 plots on map)
Map size - GIGANTIC - Ultimate GIGANTIC. Large and detailed gameplay.

Largest detailed map ever done for CIV IV Beyond the Sword including massive scale earth + space. UEM map/scenario now with earth + space!

Map has now over 4.300kb needs to be put into zip/7z file.

Start year 200000 BC.

Mostly historic starting locations for the civs.

All civilizations start with 1 capital city, 1 clubman, 2 spiked clubmans and 1 tribal guardian, go to hunt and explore for tribal villages and discover a detailed world.

Endless gameplay until you destroy all other civs or you keep the world running and alive. Try to game world police.

Costal way arround the world possible with seafaring tech, like the vikings reached north america, but until you research the required techs (Then you can leave costal waters) ocean/sea ships, you have to go long ways...

Panama canal and suez canal possible via city.

Playable USA!

Oceans 100% mod compatible on this map. Polar, tropical and normal ocean added.

North polar ocean passage! Theres now a north polar passage around the globe, so ships can go around the world this north route. But beware its blocked by polar ocean sometimes, so the early ships cant get thru this route, only ships that are able to enter ocean plots may go thru this route. You need to get the ocean techs to make your ships cable entering polar ocean. So for early contacts like the vikings reached America you still have to go the long costal ways around the world, that may require "Right of way" wars if some other civ blocks your coastal way with a city until you get high see ships that can leave the costal waters. Interesting strategies to play out here now. Also you can hide your submarines under the polar ice to intercept your enemies on the north polar route.

New main feature "Hunt for south polar resources" added, the south polar region has many good resources, will you be the first to build a base or south polar station and exploit this resource rich untouched region?

New main feature, the mediterranean sea is completely costal waters now, so some blocked Europe civs may advance easy to Africa and can get there hunters and settlers there with early ships.

Who controls Gibraltar via city may control the entrance to the Mediterranean.

New main feature, western europe costal/sea waters expanded, so the seafaring European civs can go to colonize and for exploration and the European civs get not blocked there sea lines by cities to early for Africa.

40 pre-set Civilizations in the scenario: (Mostly historic starting positions, some shifted a bit for better gameplay)
( Dont be afraid of the 40 civs, if the game goes to slow in later game for you, then you can go into worldbuilder and delete an entire civ with one click or buy a faster machine. Some civs will also die and say goodbye as time progress.)

INSTALLATION AND USAGE / How to install for a working long game:

Best is currently UEM 5.8 + C2C SVN + Latitude mod.

NOTE if you use C2C 40.1 you need UEM 4.1 if you use the latest C2C version via SVN or a higher version above C2C 40.1 then you can use UEM 4.8+ maps/scenarios:

RECOMMEND: Dont change the current and tested scenario game options, best use the options as they are set in the UEM scenario, other game options can cause memory leaks.

Get and download the Caveman2Cosmos mod, then:

1. Unzip or copy the file C2C-UEM-ByPit2015-V5.8 to
...\Documents\My Games\beyond the sword\Saves\WorldBuilder

2. RECOMMEND: If you use steam, use Civilization IV: Beyond the Sword Beta "Original release" in Betas in steam.

3. If you use UEM 4.5 or higher download and install the latitude mod mod for maps that include space here: "SVN Rescaled Latitude Limits.rar"

https://forums.civfanatics.com/thre...d-no-latitude-longitude-limits-modmod.630873/

If you want to game in 4K resolution download and install my C2C-4K mod here:

https://forums.civfanatics.com/thre...cosmos-ui-at-3840x2160-resolution-mod.664400/

4. Start Beyond the Sword select "Advanced" then "Load a Mod"

Load the Caveman2Cosmos mod.

Select Single Player then select "Play a Scenario", choose the scenario C2C-UEM-ByPit2015-V5.8 and start it.

Play this scenario in eternity speed, otherwise you will get technologies to fast in later game when you manage to grow big.

Nightmare difficulty level recommended for this scenario/map.

Make sure to play on Nightmare or Deity and Eternity game speed, otherwise you get techs to fast.

Please clear the cache folder before you start a new game. This removes the old cached data from your previously played C2C version and will help eliminate conflicts and oddities.

This is the Path to the proper cache folder to clear (delete contents) for Win 10 users:
C:\Users\"Username"\AppData\Local\My Games\Beyond the Sword\cache

5. MAF's LATEGAME CRASH FIX: One solution do get rid of the MAF's in later game is to install https://bitsum.com/ . But still may depend on you computer maybe.

"A user-suggested fix around the poor memory management of Civ 4 that seems to be working for people and prevents MAF crashes involving a third-party piece of software:"

For the memory problems/crashes, I think I found a solution that works for me. It was suggested for another game, but works well here to. The app is called Process Lasso from Bitsum. It runs in the background and monitors/optimizes all the process that are running on your PC. It manages the priorities to keep background processes from hogging the CPU from foreground processes.

One feature it has is a thing called Trim. It will execute a Trim to have certain processes release memory at designated conditions. The other feature is Process Watchdog. This is a tool to monitor a specific process and take certain defined actions when defined conditions occur.

For Civ 4, I have a Watchdog set to Trim the working set memory whenever it exceeds 825Mb. I have not had an in-game memory problem ever since. The only problem is when I try to load a saved game from a running game. It crashes me to the desktop, but then I just restart and load the saved game fresh.

And I'm playing the historical scenario with 55 Civs and the Huge Earth map. I'm currently in game year 1781 and my save game file is 6,148kb.

Also you need a 64bit windows 10 or 11 system, a 32bit system cant handle larger savegame files later in game.

RAM USAGE UPDATE!

To save RAM viewport is no longer needed as RAM usage has been improved a lot, but you can do this:

1. Enable "Memsaver" in Civ IV ini, go to:
C:\Users\"Username"\Documents\My Games\beyond the sword\CivilizationIV.ini
Set Memsaver from 0 to 1, save it. Done. Saves about 200 MB RAM.

2. Turn off in steam "Steam overlay in game" and "VR Cinema modus in game" - Right click Civ IV Beyond the Sword in steam then click properties. Saves about 100 MB more RAM. Also under "Controller" in steam Civ IV properties deactivate, steam input devices = saves 30 MB more RAM.

Game on, have fun.

So for early contacts like the vikings reached amerika you still have to go the long costal ways arround the world, that may require "Right of way" wars if some other civ blocks your way with a city until you get high see ships that can leave the costal waters. Interesting strategies to play out here now. Also you can hide your submarines under the polar ice to intercept your enemys north polar route.

Changelog Scenario 2.7
Added new Civ to scenario 45. CUNHAMBEBE / Tupi
Problem: It takes to long for the AI to get the community disscussions or knowledge inheritance building to build
myths that boost there research.
Solution: All civs start now with a free community disscussions and knowledge inheritance building,
that will also help the AI to keep up with education at population growth.
All civs still need to research language and oral tradition to be able to research the later techs attached
to these techs and get the other benefits from these techs.
Problem: It takes the AI to long to get hunters and start hunting to build myths and boost there research.
Solution: 2 Free trackers added for every civ at start. So the AI will be able to hunt from start.
Also i placed the free trackers for traped nations like portugal a bit to center europe on the map,
so they can also hunt from start. Also every island civ get its starting trackers to the
closest mainland of there island to make it fair for them. So island civs can get hunting awards also from start.

Alternative harder start 2.7:
Problem: AI sucks to survive, i can kill them easy with expirienced units, must be harder.
Solution: If you want a harder game the ai civ needs more defense for its capital city, that can be easy done
by giving the palace +100% defense, a free stone wall will not work because its giving -1.50 gold maintainance,
the AI cant pay that at start. So you have to change this if you want a AI thats able to
resist and survive the stone age, you can still kill em but will be mutch harder:
Change this file to add 100% defense to the palace, will only work for the capital city:

OPTIONAL MODMOD:

C2C - Ultimate Earth Map V2.3 - CRIME BUG UPDATE

I fixed the Crime Bug thats currently in the C2C mod, i pushed back the rates at when a crime will exist so the AI civs dont get bankrupt by it at eternity game speed, so you can continue with your save game. The current crime setting gives the AI -80 gold while they only generate 8 gold at best. So the AI civs will go bankrupt and the AI will be unproductive and a easy enemy. Even if you build all anti crime buildings you cant reduce the crime in prehistoric era, after masonry you and the AI can build police units.

Extract the zip file and put the attached file "CIV4PropertyInfos.xml" to:

...\Documents\My Games\Beyond the Sword\MODS\Caveman2Cosmos\Assets\XML\GameInfo

Changes:

Crime exist at:
Kidnapping (325), Murder(500), Rape(370), Mugging(150), Burglary(125), Fighting(100), Gangs(300), Looting(250).

Changed to:
Kidnapping (480), Murder(650), Rape(550), Mugging(250), Burglary(125), Fighting(200), Gangs(500), Looting(420).

Updates by the MOD will merge the files, it should work after a new SVN update, if the mod changes it again i will fix it again if needed and put a new update online here if the crime bug still in the mod. If you want the original SVN file back, then just delete this file and run the SVN update again, it will download the latest mod file then.

You can continue with your save game now and the AI civs will not go bankrupt all.

-Pit2015

(NO LONGER NEEDED WAS FIXED NOW)

 

[JosEPh_II]

I fixed the Crime Bug thats currently in the C2C mod,

No you just changed the minCrime level entry data, there is No bug in Crime. Just your scenario and your apprehension over dealing with crime earlier than you like.

Please do not attribute "bugs" to the Main Mod that are from your Scenario decisions and set up. It's Not appreciated at all. There will be more changes to Crime after the v36 release. Be prepared.

JosEPh

 

[Pit2015]

If you give the AI -75 gold in prehistoric era with looting crime when the AI only can generate about 8 gold and making all AI civs bankrupt with it, it is a bug , AI is doing well after my fix now.

I know it will take old mans longer to accept there mistakes. I am old too. Dont tell me any foolisch stuff when you played months without noticing there is 50% gold missing from a calculation bug in gold calculation from bonus buildings and i showed you the bug. I know the AI good now and checking always to see that they work good. You never looked into your AI civs i bet, show me a save where you start your game and civs with 0 gold after 500 turns, no civ will have any gold on deity level and eternity speed, as you run the crime now, and yes C2C mod is desinged for eternity speed. The AI already sucks, so it will suck completly, my fix works and also gives you a harder time to overcome crime.

Test my setting with your games... yep will be always be prepeared for new changes thanx. Remember some civs will have +360 crime in 500-1000 turns in prehistoric era. Look china civ in my scenario. Keep up the good work but be able to listen to problems. As i told you i can handle the crime, but the AI cant as you set it, so i like a hard crime in game but not when it kills the AI and making all civs bankrupt.

If you balance it better later, then my fix can be removed.

 

[Pit2015]

C2C - Ultimate Earth Map V2.3 map only added with no preset civs.

I added a map only version of the C2C - UEM - Ultimate World Map 2.3

C2C-UEM-ByPit2015-V2.3_no_preset_Civs.7z

No preset civs in this map. This map can be used on every gamespeed you like and with all custom settings (Custom scenario) you like. Have Fun.

[Publicola]

Looks great! Does this map include the Natural Wonders in their proper locations as well?

 

[Pit2015]

Tx, mostly yes, some misplaced (1 or 2 i think). Will be fixed in next version, if you see a misplaced wonders plz report it.

 

[Harald Blatand]

Hi,

An old Civ2 and SMAC player - I never cease to play these games since their release - I didn't really made the jump to civ3+ until last year, when I bought a civ3+civ4 package. But my mild interest for Civ4 was greatly intensified by the various mods I discovered. then. Finally, two weeks ago, I began to play C2C and immediatly after C2C with UEM v2.3 : it's probably my ultimate Civ experience, apart some SMAC's game. Congratulation for all the modders for this great job !

Hélas ! After ~500 turns of play, C2C refuse to start a new UEM scenario : Civ4 BTS and C2C and many others mods work perfectly well, but when I came to load a new UEM game, the game crash during the first third of the loading bar. In fact, I can still play my current UEM game, but not begin a new one. How Strange. I'm using a Thinkpad W520 with 8go RAM and a 2 Go NVIDIA graphic card and my OS is Windows 7.

So, any help from the community would be most appreciate. I also keep an eye on the C2C v36 release, hoping that it could help in some way...

Thanksfully yours !

 

[Thunderbrd]

Ah... yeah update to v36 and if you still have the problem then update to the SVN version and report the problem with a save in the bugs and crashes section.

 

[Pit2015]

I am currently updating the scenario and the map now. If you have any idears or suggestions act fast and let me know, in some hours i will release a new version with map fixes and fixed problems.

Current problems in scenario in eternal speed: (Scenario and this large map should be played in ethernal speed, otherwise you get every 5 turns a new tech, what sucks if you grow to big, now techs realy worth something)

Problem 1: The AI sucks and the scenario is not hard enouth. Thats because the AI cant keep up with research because they dont get animals fast enouth what boost the player research and they need to long to get the tech to expand and build more citys and to get so more research faster done.

We counter problem 1: I will give all civs at start the tech tribalismus, so every civ will be able to expand from start.

Problem 2: Some AI civs still getting bankrupt even if they start with 20000 gold, thats because crimes hit hard now and some crimes happen early now and there is no police unit before masonry for the AI and player, so with every anti crime building build it takes the AI to long to reach masonry or get other techs that allow buildings to reduce crime. This will be maybe work better when the AI can expand directly after start now with the free tribalismus tech but bit more is needed to compensate this i think.

We counter problem 2: I am currently think about to give every civ at start some free police units or a free anti crime building, if you have better idears let me know. Maybe the best way is to give all civs masonry from start, or maybe i check if i can make the police unit available earlyer. A early police unit will be build in the C2C mod in the future maybe, that will fix this problem.

South Africa seems to be full of Gems, which actually doesn't work because that's a building ressource. You can't mine Gems.

You should place Diamonds instead, also not so many, that one spot can get 5+ tiles that get super powerful.

South Africa also needs Deer and Cows, although this might be a balance issue (Zulu get no herd animals but instead need a big hunting army to constantly butcher caught animals).

 

[JosEPh_II]

FYI,
Looting has been moved back to Masonry Tech and it's MinCrime level is now 300. The -50 Commerce malus has been halved to -25, but the food and research both take a -10 hit.

If Nightmare Option is used for this Scenario both Immortal and Deity had errors for Crime per pop and have been fixed. They were not giving the right value for Crime per pop. Each is harder now as StrategyOnly intended.

Check SVN thread for other changes.

Hmm i cant place building resources on the map so its a normal map resource, so must be a normal natural resource... yeah south afrika has a lot of diamonds. Are you sure thats gems and they cant be mined? Ah ok i see its changed to a building resource now in worldbuilder, ok i fix that and change it to diamonds. Also i reduce the diamonds amount of south afrika.

There also some other civs that dont have deer or cow in there starting city, are you sure that will make the zulu civ having a to big hunting army? I place a deer and cow for him then we see.

Edit:
(Ok all gems fixed into dimonds worldwide)

FYI,
Looting has been moved back to Masonry Tech and it's MinCrime level is now 300. The -50 Commerce malus has been halved to -25, but the food and research both take a -10 hit.

If Nightmare Option is used for this Scenario both Immortal and Deity had errors for Crime per pop and have been fixed. They were not giving the right value for Crime per pop. Each is harder now as StrategyOnly intended.

Check SVN thread for other changes.

Ok than the problem should be fixed and no more changes needed for this than hopefully in the scenario. So i only fix some map problems and build the map up and the resources and let all civs start with tribalismus, than the AI should be better and harder and the AI will be able to expand from scenario start and dont fall behind to mutch.

Edit:
(New Main Feature added to UEM 2.4, there is now a north polar ocean passage arround the globe now, so ships can go arround the world this north route. But beware its blocked by polar ocean sometimes, so the early ships cant get thrue this route, only ships that able to enter high sees may go thrue this route. Or you need to get the astronomy tech to make your ships cable entering polar ocean. So for early contacts like the vikings reached amerika you still have to go the long costal ways arround the world, that may require "Right of way" wars if some other civ blocks your way with a city until you get high see ships that can leave the costal waters. Interesting strategies to play out here now. Also you can hide your submarines under the polar ice to intercept your enemys north polar route.)

Changelog Scenario 2.4
New Mod option "Teleport Hunting Awards" added to scenario that will fix most AI problems.
