Hello, I'm starting new game with 1.5a. I found out that texts in the citybar seems very low resolution compared to other texts in the game. Is it intended or is there any solution for that? I think the wide citybar function is not working well somehow...

 

[kaltruhe]

After getting a parrot on a tile event, I found out that this low resolution text problem is shown not only in city bar but also on a tile text box. I think something is wrong on text rendering on the game map. Without the mod, city bar and other text are just okay with a proper resolution.

I really like your mod. So I desperately need to fix this strange problem. Please help me.

Honestly I haven't played without the mod for such a long time that I didn't even notice. But yes, I have the same low resolution texts on my machine. Unfortunately I don't know what the reason could be. You could try different graphic settings and see if it changes anything. Could be BUG mod as well but I doubt it. You can try downloading the newest K-Mod version and see if you have the same problem there (probably not I suspect). So probably we messed something up at some point. But I have no clue because we really didn't make many interface changes. Sorry, I don't have a fix for this I fear, if you find something out, let us know.

Actually I found the problem. Will see what I can do.

 

[Team NP]

So here is a quick fix. Just paste those two files into Civ4 Reimagined/Assets/Res/Fonts overwriting the existing files there. That should be it. We will include it in our next version or release a hotfix, will see.

Thank you very much Team NP! Problem solved and I'm enjoying your great mod. By the way, I found out that strange combinations of civics are possible in the mod. For example, republic government + absolutism or theocracy + state atheism... etc. I think this is because categorization of civics is not properly done. Do you have a plan for revising current civic system?

Great to hear that it works and you are enjoying our mod. Yes, strange civic combinations are possible but usually not advisable. In general civics are designed in a way that the logical combinations also grant the biggest benefit. E.g. Dynasticism works usually much better with Absolutism than Republic because of the capital happiness effect. Of course that doesn't always work out perfectly and sometimes you might play some really strange combinations. We will probably not revisit civics on a grand scale in the near future. But we are currently working on a feature that will encourage civs to make more logical civic choices in the modern era.

Hello, what is 'No Production Mali' from central planning civic? Something related with Maliness civilization...? Sorry for the stupid question, but I really don't know what it means.

It is not a stupid question. It is just very badly phrased. It should be phrased "no production malus for military units when having a resource shortage". For example when you only have access to one oil resource and your civilization requires more than one because your resource ratio is below 1.0, then you would get less production when building units requiring oil (tanks, ships, airplanes,...). With Central Planning you can still produce these units with your full production capacity. Actually we already removed this effect from Central Planning in our development version because it is kinda broken balancing wise and doesn't make too much sense.

If anything this effect would make more sense for fascist civilizations, considering the chronic shortages of oil and other vital resources Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan faced. In Civ5 there's an Ideological Tenet that straight up doubles the number of strategic resources you have, perhaps this would be a better version of this mechanic?

I found out that Incan warrior looks like Vanilla warrior not VD Incan warrior texture.

Hi, seems like an amazing mod! I haven't played it a lot yet.

The French Missile Submarine acts weird when it's being selected or built. It messes up with the city screen (the one that builds it) and the action buttons are not valid. It seems playable but is inconvenient. There is also no Civilopedia info about it, only thing I can see in the entry is the unit icon.

Nonetheless, I love the simplicity of this mod! This one is on point, no hassle with superfluous units, mechanisms, buildings etc. Great job!

Thank you for your praise. You are right, I just checked it and the french missile submarine unit graphics seem to be broken. We will just replace it with another one I think. If it bothers you, you can also do it yourself. Open the file Civ4 Reimagined\Assets\xml\Civilizations\CIV4UnitArtStyleTypeInfos.xml and search for ART_DEF_UNIT_SURCOUF_FRENCH. Replace those with some other submarine, e.g. ART_DEF_UNIT_212A_ATTACK_SUB_ITALY.

I found out that Incan warrior looks like Vanilla warrior not VD Incan warrior texture.

Thanks I took a note. In general we are not using all VD graphics. Sometimes we just don't like them or they look too modern. I will have a look if that was the case here as well.

Hello, thank you for the reply. I wonder do you have a plan for implementing 'dynamic civ mod'?' https://forums.civfanatics.com/threads/dynamic-civ-names.226609/ It would be very historically immersive with this one!

 

[DeepWell]

It seems that something is wrong with the Military Unit Cost. When I adopted Levy Armies civic it was as if it didn't give me more free military units (maintenance didn't go down). Also the cost is not seen in the Economic Advisor screen. Could this be fixed? Or am I misunderstanding something?

On another topic. Does the Aggressive AI option affect this mod like it affects the vanilla version? Seems that the AI is quite aggressive even without the option on.

Is there a further development going on? I could even be interested to modify this on my own. Is there a way I could learn to do that well?

So far we have no plans in this direction. We will take a look if it suits our mod and could be integrated easily.

Thank you for your message. This is quite an annoying bug. It will be fixed in the next official version. Yes, development is still going on. Not much happened the last two years but now because of Corona and short time work there has been more progress. If you don't want to wait for the next official release you can also checkout our repository on Github: https://github.com/pbatr/Civ4-Reimagined. You can modify our mod on your own of course. If you don't have any programming background then the learning curve might be a bit steep. But you can find tutorials here in this forum for modding and compiling the GameCoreDLL.

I don't know exactly how aggressive AI worked in vanilla. We didn't change much in this regard, it's mostly from K-Mod. Basically the AI is more aggressive diplomatic wise, so it will declare war more often and makes less deals.

Hi Team NP, I would like to thank you again for keeping and developing this awesome mod.

One question : I can't see 'A first impression is a lasting one' attitude modifier in the mod. Is it deleted? I also found that there are few negative diplomacy modifiers compared to positive modifiers. It seems easy to keep good relations among other Civs.

 

[keldath]

i also wish to encourage you,
keep up the development!

 

[DeepWell]

I'm eagerly waiting for the next version of this mod. I was thinking of learning to modify this in case you guys wouldn't continue. I trust that you are doing the changes/improvements that are the best.

Are you open for suggestions? Those would possibly regard only the game options rather than the core gameplay.

 

[Team NP]

Thank all of you for your encouragement depevelopment is still going on and there are gonna be some major new features in the next release.

I don't think this modifier was shown in vanilla BTS. I can't recall removing anything. Maybe we can add this modifier though.

We are always open for suggestions. In general we are not lacking of ideas though. Its just that our development time is limited so we only implemented what we find most urgent or what is fun to develop/test.
