Caveman 2 Cosmos

[FangFur]

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.

Decided to carry on and you were right there was alot I could do stay afloat. Was just feeling negative because of this unexplained cost increase. Sold a ton of workers and subdued animals, sent streams of caravans and traded a ton of goods to boost my gold as well as putting a few cities on 'wealth'. Got my costs down and my bank account is the healthest its been. Now back to those thoughts of war!!!

I do the same thing, keep ALOT of Subdued animals, for later techs, BUT thats where the MAIN problem is, it cost alot of to maintain "them" and i mean alot. I think its between 2-6 per animal, depending on which animal you have, so they add up very fast.

I just cant bring myself to delete them as they will be useful in the future as animals get rarer. Plus it just seems mean to hunt them and throw away the carcass. Especially the little monkeys.

Does that make any sense to you SO? And if it does (we can agree to disagree ), does the game tell the player this anywhere?

Secondly, do you know why FangFur's number of cities maintenance suddenly hiked? Should he post a save in the SP bugs thread for someone to take a look at?

OK we disagree then, thats fine. Thats what opinions are for

I dont know how much help he will get till after the New Year almost everyone is gone, but sure post away, just follow post # 1 in posting.

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.

Last time someone asked about this the culprit was new crimes being unlocked by either a new tech or a higher crime level.

Higher crime level (forgery) is a good suggestion for the economy tanking in general, but if FangFur is right and a hike in 'number of cities maintenance' accounts for the increase (and no new tech is involved), any ideas in such a case?

Is there an explanation anywhere as to why the maintenance on a single Subdued Elephant or whatever should be six times that on a unit of Elephant Riders?

And is it stated anywhere in the Civopedia or elsewhere in the game?

On ALL questions related to Subdue Animals, there is a THREAD just for that, by DH, place your questions, ideas/suggestions/problems there, thx.

Does this mod work on lan ? I keep crashing everytime me and my friend try to play.

P.S. I need a shortcut for this game

When you say crashing, do you mean OOS (Out of Synch) errors or absolute CTDs (Crashes to Desktop) or MAFs (Memory Allocation Failures)?

We had some shortcut icons that would attempt to directly load C2C but found this caused the game some bugs to load it like that for some reason.

I've installed C2C through Desura, but it just won't start. :/
My BTS game starts with no problem, I can load other mods with no problem aswell, but when I start C2C (or I try to load it through BTS start menu) the screen just goes black for a while (as if it were loading) and then nothing happens and the process just dies.
What's the reason?

Need more info:

Specs of PC?
Graphics Card?
Windows 7?
How old is your PC? stuff like that.

Also, don't use Desura, that is bad.

 

[Maliciuzzo]

I wouldn't use Desura if there was another way to download it. -.- Servers are always busy, have you got another download link?

Anyway: HP Pav Dv6, i7-2630QM, 2.00GHz, 8gb Ram
Windows 7 64 bit
Radeon HD 6770M

My PC should be fine, I don't get why it doesn't load. :/

If you have torrent you can use that link, you just have to follow dima's below the d/l page and find the correct version is all, i think this time its on page 3??

btw Nice graphics Card, i wish i had one at least that good or better.
