Work is in the process but right now I'm working on the MegaCivPack update, but I'm low on time

 

[Timekiller]

Well, if there's any grunt work I could help with, please just send me a message!
I've just gotten started with modding Civ4 only fiddled a little bit with the files, but they don't seem all too complicated; I've added custom diplomacy music for the Trojan leaders, changed Kong Knut's title from "king of England, Norway, Denmark and some of Sweden" to "Ruler of the North Sea" (Omitting "Empire", because it sounds cooler and more fitting; he was a warrior king of old Jutland and not some stuck-up noble obsessed with listing his titles and honors. ), removed a couple of leaderheads that felt out of place (I've already forgotten which ones since I purged them at the same time as the modern civs; can't stand seeing tricolors and the like during the ancient era. ) and eased the crippling -4 relations hit with weaker civs from Imperium to a far more manageable -2 (-1 globally and -1 due to being weaker, usually coupled with another -1 due to being threatened, giving a constant -3). Now I'm looking to add new leaderheads I've found on the forums.

modern civs; can't stand seeing tricolors and the like during the ancient era. )

I don't like that either.
Well... if you want to help would you like to collect alternative flags for those? It's okay if you cannot work with Civ4 graphics, collecting and posting alternatives here on the forum is enough.

I'm on the case.

Armenia:
Either the Arsacid or Artaxiad banners should work here.

Norway:
The Norwegian Lion is pretty obvious here.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Kongeflagg.svg

Sweden:
The Three Crowns of the Swedish Realm.

I'll keep updating this list now and then.

Personally, I'd be more in favor of merging the Scandinavian kingdoms into the Viking civ and renaming it the Norse or Nordic civ, giving it the Raven Banner, which is currently used by Denmark, as its symbol. Same goes for a couple of other civs (such as Latvia+Lithuania=>Balts and Germany+HRE=>Germany/HRE), though this would mean either generalizing/removing some unique units or giving the combined civs multiple unique units and buildings which, if even possible, would be unbalanced.

Please, let's move to the Updated AND 2.1 Mega Civ Pack

Field Commanders appear to be broken. Combat does not result in control points being used or experience being gained! I tried without this modmod and it works fine.

/edit Never mind I was wrong, the behaviour changed when the settings got reset not when your mod got removed! Sorry!

civic building:



I changed from Fiefdom to Colonisation when the tech became available, then noticed my civilisation crashed. I finally figured out it was because i hadn't noticed that Colonial had a per city unhappiness penalty.

This seems like it should be in fiefdom instead? Because fiefdom is medieval, and colonial is more about the big push that created the americas, and built up the british empire so it briefly covered a good chunk of the globe?

Or at least that is my interpretation.

If you don't feel that is right, is it possible for me to edit my own version for my own use? I remember editing buildings.xml etc when the game first came out but that was years ago, and i don't see anything with your modmod that i can edit to alter the civics?

THX for the feedback

I will probably remove that penalty in next version (and change a lot of other things too).

But till than you can edit Chronicles_CIV4CivicInfos.xml.
Find

        <CivicInfo>
            <CivicOptionType>CIVICOPTION_TERRITORY</CivicOptionType>
            <Type>CIVIC_COLONIALISM</Type>
...
            <iCityLimit>5</iCityLimit>
            <iCityOverLimitUnhappy>1</iCityOverLimitUnhappy>
        </CivicInfo>

Change both numbers to 0 and it'll be fine.

So here's a compatibility hotfix for Chronicles to make it work with rev1068.
Just install to yor ROM-AND folder and say yes to file over write.

 

[ragnarakos]

hi,
i have updated the game to the rev1068, the megapack to the version 3.0.1 and the chronicles with the hotfix, but i have noticed in the last saved game the science and espionage rates have disappeard...
i can still see the cultural one.
if i disable the chronicles v.2.0.1 module, i receive some warnings, but the rates are all visible.

any ideas?

 

[<Nexus>]

That's strange...
It's an issue caused by AND and not Chronicles.

Have you tried recalculating? CTRL+SHIFT+T

Otherwise I recommend not to update during a running game but finish the old one or start a new one after update.

 

[Vokarya]

It might be that TECH_WRITING in the In_The_Begining_CIV4TechInfos.xml file doesn't have the <CommerceFlexible> needed to unlock the science slider. That doesn't explain why the espionage slider is missing. I might have an old version of Chronicles -- is the current version using TECH_DEMOCRACY anywhere? That is the tech where I have the <CommerceFlexible> to unlock the Espionage slider.

 

[<Nexus>]

Ahh! Thanx! I didn't think of that. Will check it...

 

[<Nexus>]

Here's a hotfix that should fix the issue.
@ragnarakos: Please let me know it works now or not.

I've been messing around with this mod and like the additions to the game. Thanks for developing it.
Can I ask though, I notice when settling my first city that I have 4 turns of Anarchy for high taxes. Is this normal?

 

[<Nexus>]

With Vokarya's recent changes: Yes, it is. But I understand that it may be quite annoying so I will fix it.

Hi there, I've been playing and enjoying this mod for a long time. Recently I had to do a fresh install and since then I've been receiving a trio of error messages whenever I try to load the mod from Beyond the Sword. This ends in the mod crashing before it can load properly. The three error messages are attached.

Any ideas how to fix this? I put it in the Chronicles forum because the error seems to be related to it.

 

[<Nexus>]

Did you download and apply the patch in the opening post?

 

[ablackshoe]

I did not even realize that existed haha

Looks like it worked, thanks!
