You may lack permission as a user or it may be set to Read Only. If it's being reset, maybe Read Only is the solution instead.

I know this is the wrong thread, but I haven't seen anyone else with HRW links. So a couple of questions if you don't mind.
1) Have you or anyone in your discord heard from Xanth? I've tried a few PM's, but got no response.
2) Did you or anyone in your Discord crew fix the Diplo issues from Xanth's last release?
As far as I know, Xanth never tossed up a patch for his last rev to fix some problems. Kind of bummed about it, as it was one of my favorite mods to play. The Diplo issues plaguing it just killed any interest in playing the mod.
Anyway, appreciate any info if you would please. Thx.
Drak.

You mean Xyth? He's been on Discord since 2022, but no, he burned out and never fixed diplomacy. He did post the source code, though - that's how I was able to compile 3 and 4 ring working range DLLs. If it's just attitude penalties you are bothered by, I disabled those as a crutch available here. In what little testing I've done switching religion stopped being a berserk button, but maybe I should return penalty for refusing to adopt one applied in broad brushstrokes.

Why not join multiplayer, then? Honestly, "AI" is still terrible even with addition of K-mod - after skimming the DLL it's ever more obvious to me. Had to write 2 game options to prevent it from allocating commerce to culture and espionage already in Ancient era. Never actually found a mechanism to stop it pinching pennies of maintenance for potential cities at a cost of real jackpots.

You mean cities with 4 rings working area? :eekdance:
I may want that too...

Mylon's code is still around. Mod's thread. He also made culture levels provide health and happiness. There were other ambitious area variations, but I stuck to morbidly obese crosses.

Yeah, lol, meant Xyth.

VIP mod uses 3rd and 4th rings as well, and that makes his mod fun. Agree on the com-cul issues, but still had fun with the mod.

As to multi? I just don't have the time anymore, work always seems to be a priority ever since I got promoted. I'll occasionally get to multi with my boys on holidays, but that's about all.
Appreciate you taking the time to respond, my thanks.

That's just down right scary on mountain/hill maps with the Inca. In all of my games with the Inca involved, if they have the terrain, the game just gets nasty evil.

Alright, uploaded it here.

Well, you can kinda break even on Monarch or there's also an option of relocking sliders behind some tech like in BTS, but I'd rather have a structural solution. Except I made like 5 attempts and failed, could've been 111% basic GP weight interfering or maybe GP emphasis is broken for AI - devaluing EP trifold didn't help and even 50% commerce weight on top of it wasn't enough.

Hasn't played since August, so just gathering on holidays would be a step forward.

Where do I extract that file to? Lol, I haven't modded in ages.
 
What went wrong with xyth latest version?
AIs excessively break agreements and then cause an attitude penalty meant for when you break them. There were also instances when a vertical strip of tiles becomes unrevealable - he said he attempted to fix this one, but doesn't remember whether he succeeded. I certainly encountered singular unrevealable tiles after that. Those are the biggest ones, there is also a penalty for switching religion to a different than AI's that doesn't seem to wear off and you can easily found a ton of them by Medieval. And guaranteed success for Proselytism doesn't account for missionary's owner. Oh, and Well was broken, but I fixed that one.

UPD: AIs also fail to gift cities crushed by culture.

Hello. Is it possible to add minimal city boundaries? because often after capturing a city he only has one square left. Because of this, all that remains is to fight the enemy to the end.
