Something else I found... A little easter egg from SO!
There's those for all of us I think (I know I've seen them for SO, Hydro, and Koshling).

i found just as impressive was the center continent! that would cause some weird weather patterns...maybe hurricanes dont exist?Something else I found... A little easter egg from SO!
Actually, yes. First make sure you have debug mode enabled so you can bring up the console in-game... IIRC you need to add the 'chipotle' line to your .ini file. If you don't know what I'm talking about, Google it; there are tons of instructions on how to do it.
Then, in your game, press the ~ key (shift + `). You should see a translucent text console appear in the middle of the screen, and it should say "Python" on the top line followed by some version/build info and then a prompt:
Code:
Python
2.4.1 (65, Mar 30 2005, 09:13:57) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)]
>Make sure you see it says Python; if you hit just ` by mistake you'll get a similar-looking but very different console.
With this console you have programmatic access to most of the guts of the game... nearly all of them, in fact. There are a few things you can't do because the designers/modders didn't add Python hooks, but most stuff you can get at just fine. Most of the game-relevant stuff can be accessed through the pre-defined variable gc , which is a CyGlobalContext object. It has a bunch of methods for getting player, team, game, plot, etc. objects. e.g. typing 'print gc.getPlayer(0).getCity(0).getFood()' (without the single quotes, and hitting enter afterwards) will show you the amount of stored food in your capital (normally.) Running 'gc.getPlayer(0).getCity(0).changeFood(-50)' will, unsurprisingly, reduce the amount of food stored in your capital by 50. To figure out how to do other things, you can do things like 'print dir(gc)' or 'print dir(gc.getPlayer(0))' to get a list of the vars/functions in the gc object and the player object respectively; and you can also do 'print gc.getPlayer.__doc__' to get very brief help on the gc.getPlayer function. You can page up / page down to look at things; hitting ~ again will return you to the main screen. The best way to get started is just to look at the API documentation at http://civ4bug.sourceforge.net/PythonAPI/index.html . That's for vanilla BtS, not C2C, but it's still almost all accurate, just missing some of extra things C2C added.
To get back to the main point, in v27, you can change the Realistic Corporations option by entering:
Code:
gc.getGame().setOption(51, False)(51 is the id # for the Realistic Corporations option.) To get a list of all the game options with their current setting and their id #, so you can change them, run the following (admittedly convoluted-looking if you don't know Python) command:
Code:
for i in range(gc.getNumGameOptionInfos()): print str("%i %s %s" % (i, (gc.getGame().isOption(i) and "T") or ".", gc.getGameOptionInfo(i).getText() ))That will list all the options with # and a 'T' for true and '.' for false...
(Incidentally, you can make this kind of hacking easier by defining useful commands like this as functions in the "PyHelpers.py" file inside your Mods/Caveman2Cosmos/Assets/Python/ directory, and then running 'from PyHelpers import *' once each time you start C2C -- reloading doesn't clear it. Then you can run the command with your short function name, instead of having to re-type it each time. I have a bunch of utility commands and classes defined in there to help in inspecting / messing with things.)

That post was awesome man! THAT should be made a link in the Modder's Documentation section and the Player's How To section!!!
Its funny I'd never considered to do that but it does make a lot of sense.

I have a setting question.
In various Youtube C2C Lets Plays I've observed people take their subdued animals and plot movement paths to a city. When they do this they get some city information that includes what buildings that animal can create in the city. What is the setting that turns that on? When I try that I don't get the city information at the bottom of the UI.

Not sure if there's a setting that changes that, that should be the default behaviour. If you take an unit that was part of a group though, you have to first separate it into its own group before the buildings show up.

There is AI for the subdued animals but it is not available for the player. I have not finished putting all the help text on the subdued animals so that just selecting them will show what they can build.

i sign in on http://www.moddb.com , try to download C2C and their server still suck balls like crazy, error
The file you have selected (Caveman2Cosmos.7z) is not available via any mirrors. Please check back shortly as our servers update every 5 minutes.
no matter do i click after 1 hour or 3, its still the same, or use Desura and when i download it again, in BUG mode still is written "Cavemen2Cosmos24" and there are many changes like no avaiable is "Corpor-nation" and stuff like that, last avaiable governent is Fascism
Maybe just make a torrent to download ?

OK, I'm off now until the new year. Have a good holiday everyone. We said we would look at the pedia and fix entries in the concepts and strategy areas for v28. I have merged the Civ IV and BtS into Game Concepts and RoM, AND and C2C into C2C Concepts so now we need to look at what is actually written. I have also changed the Animals (Game Concept) and Subdued Animals (C2C Concept) a bit. So over to you for the other concepts.

Have a great holiday, and say Hi to your family from the Great State of Minnesota and well ME!!
I dont think i want to do anything soon for version 28, till after Koshling and AIAndy come back, just to make sure everything is kosher, rather than just a thrown together version.

I'm 95% sure that this is just a settings issue. But does anyone know which setting it is that I need to change so that I can 'see' what the subdued animal can build in the city it is plotted to move to? Right now I don't even get the city to show up on the UI.

Try holding down the shift key, which allows you to queue up multiple actions for a unit. You can even release the mouse button as if to accept the move and proceed to queue things up (as long as you hold down the shift key, except the tiny percentage of cases where the UI forgets you have the shift key pressed), at which point it usually shows what you can do at the destination when it is otherwise being difficult about it. If you change your mind about going to that city (you may want to check more than one to see what you can do in each) you can click on the red circle with a line through it "cancel" icon to cancel the move before you release the shift key so it won't actually do the move.
Confused about a sudden loss of gold income when I have not changed civics and in the middle of research. It appears my number of cities maintenance almost doubled in cost for reasons I dont understand. Is there an explanation for this. Im sure earlier in the game I had a sudden massive drop in income as well. Running SVN from about a week ago.

Is "Increasing Difficulty" switched on? (If you don't know, check in the BUG options on the 'Caveman2Cosmos' tab)
No its not. Im playing on fixed immortal. Literaly my number of cities maintenance jumps from 246 gold to 432 gold.

I'm no expert, so I'm struggling. Since we've ruled out it coinciding with a new civic or tech, the only other thing I can think of is if a building or wonder was just finished that obsoletes a lot of cost-reducing buildings.
No wonders completed that round or buildings that would cause such a shift. This has put me on - 200gold a round with only 3,000 in the bank. Its a bit of a game breaker and I was so enjoying myself. Thanks for trying to help out.

I had all my main production cities building 'Lesser Wealth' for a time in my game. One or two of them still are (got Currency now but it's not as much help as expected - only 80% efficient in C2C). Yeah I'm struggling all right to balance the books - while trying to maintain 50% tech rate and keep up on espionage. I thought it was going to break the game, but it didn't.
Personally I could live with -150 per turn with a 3000 balance (ie. -5%). Not forever of course - I like to keep the deficit to 5% of what's left. Still that's only 50 per turn you need to find from building wealth. I also reverted to cheaper civics at one stage.
