I'm slow, but I get there eventually. I do think that it would help other newbs to have the instructions at the top of the thread. Having figured it out, I'd be happy to write the Steam portion.I blame Steam for that, the CD version is much more simple IMO.
But I'm happy you succeeded
Please, let me know what you think of the mod. A patch is also coming soon.
I'd be grateful if you do so.
I don't know whether this is the mod or the settings, but the biggest impression so far is that the barbarians are absolutely out of control. Hunters cannot survive more than about five turns outside borders due to running into 4-5 animals at once. My four city civilization is currently being invaded by a stack of about 40 barbarian warriors and javelineers. Right now, it isn't even playable.I blame Steam for that, the CD version is much more simple IMO.

Promote them with Hunting and research Weapons for +1
(it's also a vital tech for Autocracy civic).Now that's more curious. What settings are you playing with? I suspect Raging Barbarians is on
Which means in game terms... ?
I've started six different games, and the only conclusion that I can come to is that we are talking about different mods. What you describe bears zero resemblance to what I have played. Hunters with Weapons, and Hunting II last, maybe, ten turns out in the wilderness. Archers with Warfare and Hunting I last about the same. The problem is that the number of animals is overwhelming. Being attacked by multiple elephants and something else in the same turn happens frequently. Even if the unit survives the first attack, it is damaged and the constant attacks never give it a chance to heal.Promote them with Hunting and research Weapons for +1
Hunting I and II give +50% vs. Animals and Hunting III is +100%. They also increase the chance of subduing animals.
Some buildings can also help with free Xp and Hunting I promotion: Blood Dance, Myth of the Beast.
Hunting animals is thoroughly tested and is rather balanced. Of course bad luck is still a factor if you always meet only Elephants, Rhinos and Comodos.
Ah! Looks like you are playing with Movement Limit ON without understanding it. Let me explain than:
Yes. I'm not sure if I can finish it today or only the next week but its close
!
As someone who has been playing CIV 4 on and off for over a decade I would like to thank you for all the work you have done for this awesome mod
Well, in the newest version you can no longer play with 100 civs (at least at the moment) but thanks to @Inthegrave we have a new dll that brought a lot of bugfixes, performance improvements and some new features (and also some new bugs
).You can try playing on a smaller map but... with the recent improvements and the fact that you can no longer exhaust your computer with 100 civs I think you should give a try with your favored settings.
you get from conquered cities to the point of it gutting your own core.
Yeah, I had some thinking, some modding and even some testing.Speaking of which, have you had the time to think about what we spoke about the last time? I am referring to the fact that wining a war is more ruinous than loosing it on account of the
piling up: I'm in the middle ages now and see no big problem here. You need to plan ahead. Don't stretch it too much. Conquer only what you can hold. If you cannot keep the extra cities, than pillage their surroundings or liberate them as vassals.
Okay, maybe not. I just tried it in my game I couldn't liberate any city.
I'd rather try gifting the cities to vassals. I don't really know liberation works
and is a National Unit of course.
