CIV Gold!

[Huayna Capac357]

I'm so excited for 5.0! I think this will be the best Gold ever!

Maybe you can have little patches every now and then so you don't have to do so much work. So instead of releasing 6.0 years from now you can have 5.1 next month, 5.2 a couple months later, and so on.

Holy crap!! That's pretty damn cool.

BTW - I reinserted your Bolivar 3.0 into Gold. I do agree that it is more accurate that the Colz version.

 

[Huayna Capac357]

It looks really cool, too. Very much improved over version 2!

EDIT: Just out of curiosity, I googled Vo'estaneo'o to see what it meant, and I came up with this, a thread on a Chinese CFC that advertises Civ Gold Wyz has gone inadvertantly global!

 

[Wyz_sub10]

I'm done with 99.95% of everything - even all the goddamn scaling, which is tedious as hell to correct.

There is only one holdup - I'm getting an XML error with a CivInfo file. The error identified doesn't seem to be the actual cause. I've rebuilt the file from the ground up and still nothing.

The next course of action is likely to rebuild most of that civ again because going from file to file doesn't seem to be hitting the cause.

LOL...Well, it'd be nice to know if the comments were positive or negative. I'll just assume they think it's "happiness on the screen".

Vo'estaneo'o, by the way, is Cheyenne for "people". That civ has been re-tooled as the Metis Empire in 5.0.

Is there going 2 be any new balkan civs(Slovenia,Yugoslavia,Serbia,Bosnia...)?

 

[snipperrabbit!!]

Asking for FYROM ? May be you are going overboard here !

No, but I've long considered adding Yugoslavia. If I did, though, it would be based on the post-WWII/pre-1992 Yugoslavia. And that might bring more headaches than anything else.

 

[MadmanOfALeader]

What about Serbia?

 

[Wyz_sub10]

What about Serbia?

It might be an either/or in that case - add Serbia instead of Yugoslavia. For 5.0, I've added several unannounced civs over the past few days because I recognize that this is likely the last major release. If people want another Balkan civ, I'll try to add one, but it would likely be one or the other.

that would be better than yugoslavia imo

but it creator's choice

Ok this is probably very stupid, but how do you install it? because I though i had installed it, but i see no additional civilizations when i want to start a new game, or i don't see any gold MOD, when i want to load a mod.

I downloaded gold 4.0, and the patch for it. i bought Civ IV complete, and patched it up too.

sorry if this is the wrong thread or something, but it's my first post

In my mod I named it Serbia although it included many things that were Yugoslavian (modern era units, and even Tito as a leader, and before any says anything yes I understand he is not a Serb). I think Serbia is a better name since Yugoslavia was, for all intents and purposes, a relatively short-lived country.

1. This is for BtS, so make sure it's installed in the BtS mods folder

2. Don't create a directory. Use the installer and set the path to BtS/Mods

3. Make sure 'Modular Loading = 1' in the BtS _Civ4.ini file

I agree with you here. I also want to add that I added Serbia to my game too and it's leaders are Dusan and Tito. I decided to add Tito into the game because Firaxis did a similar thing by adding Stalin as a leader for Russia. Stalin also wasn't Russian and he was the leader of the USSR and not Russia (Russia was the dominant republic, of course). Same thing about Tito.

 

[MadmanOfALeader]

Stalin certainly thought he was Russian. So did Catherine the Great (she was actually German).

The game seems to load much faster if you simply add the new civs as modules into your main assets folder rather than into a separate mods folder. As a mod, it takes about 10 minutes to l0ad the game. In the assets folder it takes about 1 minute to load the game.

For me this works fine, since I don't play mp other than hotseat with myself.

You can do that, but it is not recommended. Trust me, I already reinstalled the game because of this.

5.0 will try your patience with load times.

Sorry, but as noted above, Custom Assets can create problems. We have played with pointing to current animations, etc., but that too causes some problems.

Once loaded, there is no problem in-game. Essentially you need to start the game, make a sandwich, pour a coffee and come back.
