revealing.}

@; EXPLORATION

@; Ferdinand Magellan
@FATHER5
@width=300
^{Ferdinand Magellan (1480-1521)}
Portuguese explorer who led the first European expedition to
successfully circumnavigate the globe. Although Magellan himself did not
complete the voyage, his leadership and daring made it possible.
^
{With Magellan in the Congress, the movement allowance of all naval
vessels is increased by one, and the time to sail from the west
map edge to Europe is shortened considerably.}

@; Francisco de Coronado
@FATHER6
@width=300
^{Francisco de Coronado (1510-1554)}
Spanish conquistador who led the first European expedition into the
American southwest. He was the first to observe the Grand Canyon and the
Pueblos of New Mexico. Coronado was a careful organizer and a great scout
who gleaned valuable information about a wide area.
^
{When he joins the Congress, all existing colonies and the area around
them become visible on the map.}

@; Hernando De Soto
@FATHER7
@width=300
^{Hernando de Soto (1500-1542)}
Ruthless Spanish Conquistador who led the first European expedition into
the southeastern areas of North America. He landed in Florida and

@width=300
^{Paul Revere (1735-1818)}
American patriot who served in the Continental Army during the War of
Independence and roused the minutemen as British forces approached.
Paul Revere's example as a patriot allows colonists working at productive
duties to become minutemen, capable of rallying to the defense of the
colony in times of danger.
^
{When a colony with no standing soldiers is attacked, a colonist
automatically takes up any stockpiled muskets in defense of the colony.}


@; Francis Drake
@FATHER13
@width=300

Powhattan Indian princess who mediated tensions between the English
colony at Jamestown and the Powhattan Confederacy of Virginia.
Pocahontas married John Rolffe, an Englishman from Jamestown, which
led to a period of peace between the Indians and the English.
^
{When Pocahontas joins the Congress, all tension levels between you and
the natives are reduced to content, and all Indian alarm is generated half
as fast.}

@; Thomas Paine
@FATHER17
@width=300
^{Thomas Paine (1737-1809)}
Englishman that migrated to Philadelphia and wrote the important,
inflammatory pamphlet, "Common Sense," which strongly advocated total
independence for the colonies. He later wrote "The Rights of Man" in

1930.
^
{With de Brebeuf in the Congress, all missionaries function as experts.}

@; Juan de Sepulveda
@FATHER23
@width=300
^{Juan de Sepulveda (ca. 1490-ca. 1573)}
Spanish philosopher and "humanist" who argued for harsh treatment of
the natives. He based his reasoning on the proposition that the Natives
were incapable of ruling themselves because of their savagery; this was
proved by their inability to resist Spanish invasion...
^
{His presence in the Congress increases the chance that subjugated
Indians will "convert" and join a colony.}

@; Bartolome de las Casas
@FATHER24
@width=300
^{Bartolome de Las Casas (1474-1566)}
The "Apostle of the Indians," Las Casas was a Spanish missionary who
sailed with Columbus' third expedition. His efforts to protect the native
population from slavery and abuse led him to speak on their behalf in the
Spanish courts on several occasions.
^
{With Las Casas, all currently existing Indian converts are assimilated
into the colonies as free colonists.}

@; *** CARGO TYPES ***

@;
@CARGO0
@width=300
^{FOOD}
Food is one of the most valuable commodities your people
produce. The survival of your colonies depends upon it. The best
places to grow food are in {plains, grasslands, prairie, and savannah.}
Plowing the land also increases food yield. {Fishing} is an excellent
source of food, and {fisheries} are particularly productive.
^
{Each colonist working inside a colony eats 2 food every turn.}

@;
@CARGO1
@width=300
^{SUGAR}
Sugar is a cash crop that can be sold in Europe for a handsome profit or
converted into {Rum} by a {distiller} for sale at a better price.
^
{Sugar grows most abundantly in Savannah, especially in Prime Sugar
Land.}

@;
@CARGO2
@width=300
^{TOBACCO}
Tobacco is a cash crop that can be sold in Europe for a handsome profit
or converted into {Cigars} by a {tobacconist} for sale at a better price.
^
{Tobacco grows most abundantly in Grassland, especially in Prime
Tobacco Land.}

@;
@CARGO3
@width=300
^{COTTON}
Cotton is a cash crop that can be sold in Europe for a handsome profit or
converted into {Cloth} by a {weaver} for sale at a better price.
^
{Cotton grows most abundantly in Prairie, especially in Prime Cotton
Land.}

@;
@CARGO4
@width=300
^{FURS}
Fur is abundant in the Americas and there is a hungry market for it
in Europe. Your {fur traders} can convert furs into coats for an even
greater profit. {Woodlands} of all sorts are good for trapping, but
even better are {game and beaver} squares in colder climates.
Additionally, a {road} in a forest square increases fur output.
^
{Fur is found most abundantly in all forested areas, but especially in
colder terrains where there is Beaver.}


@;
@CARGO5
@width=300
^{LUMBER}
Lumber is one of the most valuable commodities you can produce. Your
{carpenters} need lumber to build {buildings, ships, artillery, and
fortifications.} Lumber is collected whenever your pioneers clear a
forested square or when you have lumberjacks working the forests.
^
{Woodland of all sorts is good for wood cutting, and roads in forests
and Prime Timber increase lumber production.}

@;
@CARGO6
@width=300
^{ORE}
Ore is one of your most useful resources. It can be sold in Europe or
converted into {tools} by your {blacksmiths.} Tools may then be changed
into {guns,} by {gunsmiths.}
^
{Ore is found in hills, mountains, and swamps.}

@;
@CARGO7
@width=300
^{SILVER}
Silver is one of the most valuable metals found in the New
World. Silver can be mined from {mountain} squares, and some native
civilizations have it in great quantity.
^
{Silver is found in mountains, but these abundant sources will soon run
dry if mined.}

@;
@CARGO8
@width=300
^{HORSES}
Horses are useful for aiding travel in the New World. {Scouts and
Dragoons} move significantly faster than do colonists on foot. {Any
colonist} may be mounted to create {scouts} and {any soldier} can be
mounted to create {dragoons.}
^
{Horses can be obtained only in Europe,} but once brought over, they
may be bred. If you have {two or more horses} in a colony and {extra food}
stored in your warehouse, your colony will {produce more horses}. If you
construct stables, your horses will breed twice as fast.

@;
@CARGO9
@width=300
^{RUM}
Rum is the product of sugar processing in a distillery. It is usually of
much greater monetary value than raw sugar.
^
{Any colonist working as a distiller can convert sugar into rum.}

@;
@CARGO10
@width=300
^{CIGARS}
Cigars are the product of tobacco processing in a tobacconist's house or
shop. Cigars are usually of much greater monetary value than raw
tobacco.
^
{Any colonist working as a tobacconist can convert tobacco into cigars.}

@;
@CARGO11
@width=300
^{CLOTH}
Cloth is the product of cotton processing in a weaver's house or shop. It
is usually of much greater monetary value than raw cotton.
^
{Any colonist working as a weaver can convert cotton into cloth.}

@;
@CARGO12
@width=300
^{COATS}
Coats are made from fur in a fur trader's house or shop. They are
usually of much greater monetary value than unprocessed pelts.
^
{Any colonist working as a fur trader can convert fur into coats.}

@;
@CARGO13
@width=300
^{TRADE GOODS}
Trade Goods can be obtained only in Europe or from other European
settlements. These represent manufactured goods such as small tools,
jewelry, and clothing, which the Indians may want to trade for. Most
native tribes will gladly take trade goods, at least at first.

@;
@CARGO14
@width=300
^{TOOLS}
Tools are fundamental to successful colonial endeavors. You need tools to
create {pioneers,} and only pioneers can {build roads, clear forests, and
plow fields.} Additionally, tools are necessary to complete many
{buildings} you construct inside your colonies. Finally, tools are
converted into muskets by {gunsmiths.}
^
{Tools may be bought in Europe or manufactured by blacksmiths, who
convert ore into tools.}

@;
@CARGO15
@width=300
^{MUSKETS}
Muskets are necessary for defense of your colonies and for building a
substantial military force. You need muskets to create soldier
units. {Any colonist} may be given muskets to create {soldiers} and {any
scout} may be given muskets to create {dragoons.}
^
{Muskets may be purchased in Europe or manufactured at an armory,
magazine, or arsenal.} Any colonist working as a gunsmith can convert
tools into muskets.


@;
@; *** UNIT TYPES ***
@;

@;
@UNIT0
@width=300
^{COLONISTS}
These represent the various people that come to the New World. A single
colonist in the game represents a number of people in real life, perhaps
100-200. There are four general types of colonists, each with different
capabilities: petty criminals, indentured servants, free colonists, and
specialists. Any of these colonists can do any job available in the
settlement, but the experts do their particular jobs very well.
^
Another type exists: Indian Converts. These represent Native Americans
that join your settlements and become colonists. They're very effective at
outdoors jobs, but are little suited for manufacturing.

@;
@UNIT1
@width=300
^{SOLDIERS}
Soldiers are created when you give a colonist {muskets.} A
soldier may become a {veteran} as a result of winning battles or of
education in a {college}. Additionally, {Expert soldiers (veterans)} may
immigrate to the New World from Europe upon occasion, and may be hired
from the {Royal University.}

@;
@UNIT2
@width=300
^{PIONEERS}
Pioneer units are created when you give a colonist {tools.}
Pioneers have several important functions: they {clear woods, plow
fields, and build roads.} In general, {Hardy Pioneers} perform their tasks
faster than ordinary colonists working as pioneers.

@;
@UNIT3
@width=300
^{MISSIONARIES}
A missionary may be created at any site where there is a {church or
cathedral.} This may be on the {Docks of Europe} or in a colony where a
church or cathedral has been built. Missionaries perform the following
important special functions: {create missions in native settlements} to
counteract Indian anger; {denounce another European's mission} in a
native settlement (which can result in the destruction of that mission),
or {incite Indians to attack} another European power. {Jesuit
Missionaries are particularly effective at these tasks.}

@;
@UNIT4
@width=300
^{DRAGOONS}
Dragoons are {soldiers mounted on horseback,} the colonial equivalent of
cavalry. Any soldier may be converted into a dragoon if he is given horses.
Dragoons can move farther during a turn, and they fight more effectively.
{Veteran dragoons are more effective in battle than normal mounted
soldiers.}

@;
@UNIT5
@width=300
^{SCOUTS}
Any colonist can become a scout if he is mounted on {horses.} Scouts
can perform many valuable services to your cause: they {reveal}
unexplored terrain faster, {move farther} in a turn, have better luck
when {exploring Lost City Rumors,} can meet with and {talk to Indian
chiefs,} {infiltrate enemy colonies} to see what's going on, and meet with
enemy mayors in their colonies. {Seasoned scouts are better at all these
tasks than regular colonists working as scouts.}

@;
@UNIT6
@width=300
^{REGULARS}
European regular infantry units are the Crown's regular army troops.
They enter the game against you if you declare independence. Their only
weakness is lack of training in the rough, wilderness terrain of the New
World.

@;
@UNIT7
@width=300
^{CONTINENTAL CAVALRY}
Continental Cavalry is one step above your veteran dragoons in combat
effectiveness. They know the backwoods, are veteran soldiers, and have
received some military training.

@;
@UNIT8
@width=300
^{CAVALRY}
European regular cavalry units are the Crown's regular mounted soldiers.
They enter the game against you if you declare independence. Their
weakness is lack of training in the rough, wilderness terrain of the New
World.

@;
@UNIT9
@width=300
^{CONTINENTAL ARMY}
Continental Army infantry is one step above your veteran soldiers in
combat effectiveness. They know the backwoods, are veterans, and have
received some regular military training.

@;
@UNIT10
@width=300
^{TREASURE TRAIN}
This wagon train carries {plunder,} usually gold and silver, precious
stones, and rare fabrics. Treasure trains are used to cart away the
plunder gleaned from a native settlement or lost city. A {Galleon} is
always required to transport the contents of a treasure train by sea.

@;
@UNIT11
@width=300
^{ARTILLERY}
Artillery may be bought in {Europe} or constructed by the armories
within your colonies. Artillery is very effective at {attacking and
defending colonies,} and also at attacking fortified units and Indian
settlements. However, when defending in unprotected terrain it is
extremely vulnerable, and when attacking there it is ineffective. An
artillery unit that is defeated in battle is damaged and loses some of its
firepower; if defeated again, it is destroyed.

@;
@UNIT12
@width=300
^{WAGON TRAIN}
Wagon Trains are used for hauling goods and commodities {over land.} In
order to trade most profitably with the Indians you should enter their
settlements with wagons full of goods. A wagon train can transport any
cargo a ship can, except colonists and artillery. Wagons have 2 cargo
holds and can be assigned to {trade routes.} You may never build more
wagon trains than you have colonies.

@;
@UNIT13
@width=300
^{CARAVEL}
A Caravel is an exploration ship designed to carry a small crew
and adequate cargo for a few months of provisions.

@;
@UNIT14
@width=300
^{MERCHANTMAN}
A Merchantman is a medium-sized cargo ship. Its main function is to
carry cash commodities to port for trade. It is a little larger than a
caravel with more sail.

@;
@UNIT15
@width=300
^{GALLEON}
A Galleon is a large cargo vessel designed for long voyages and heavy
transport. It is as large as a ship of the line, but not armed.

@;
@UNIT16
@width=300
^{PRIVATEER}
A Privateer is a ship owned by an individual that has obtained a "Letter of
Marque" from his government, giving him the "right" to prey upon
foreign shipping. Privateers can be very dangerous to your commerce
because they observe no code of international behavior; the countries
sponsoring them will likely claim no knowledge of their actions.

@;
@UNIT17
@width=300
^{FRIGATE}
Frigates are dangerous gunships, capable of sinking or damaging
enemy vessels.

@;
@UNIT18
@width=300
^{MAN-O-WAR}
These powerful vessels appear in American waters when the War of
Independence develops. Your mother country will send them against your
forces, and, if foreign intervention occurs, you'll receive some to support
your cause. They are heavily armed with cannon and capable of carrying
large invasion forces or cargoes.

@;
@UNIT19
@width=300
^{BRAVES}
Braves are small groups of Native Americans. They represent Indians in
their natural state, before receiving guns and horses from Europeans.

@;
@UNIT20
@width=300
^{ARMED BRAVES}
Native Americans become increasingly dangerous as they learn to use the
deadly weapons of the Europeans. When a native tribe obtains guns from
the Europeans, some braves will be armed with them. {This, combined
with their knowledge of the wilderness, make them formidable opponents
in the woods, hills, and mountains.}

@;
@UNIT21
@width=300
^{MOUNTED BRAVES}
Native American peoples did not have access to horses until the Spanish
brought them in the late 15th century. In some cases, Indian culture
changed considerably to incorporate the horse as a vital element. {Horses
increase the mobility and combat power of the Indians.}

@;
@UNIT22
@width=300
^{MOUNTED WARRIORS}
Tribes that have horses and muskets are very dangerous. They are as good
as any colonial dragoons -- even better when fighting in the wilderness.

@;
@UNIT23
@width=300
^{Colonists}

@JOB0
@width=300
^{EXPERT FARMERS}
Some of your people have a knack for growing food crops and an
understanding of weather and seasons. These experts can be found in
Europe as immigrants or trained at the Royal University. Some Native
Americans are excellent farmers, as well, and can teach free colonists
and indentured servants the secrets of agriculture. The best place for
farming is in the plains.
^
{Expert farmers grow 2 more food in a square than other farmers.}

@;
@JOB1
@width=300
^{MASTER SUGAR PLANTERS}
Planting and tending of sugar cane is a complicated job that takes
planning and special techniques. Only the Native Americans are
knowledgeable enough to be called experts, and only they can teach your
people to do it. However, a colonist that works at it long enough may
become a master himself.
^
{The best place for sugar cultivation is in the savannah.}
^
{Master sugar planters are twice as productive as others.}

^{FREE COLONISTS}
Free Colonists are immigrants desiring to go to the New World as free
men and women and willing to work for the good of their communities.
Free colonists are productive in all spheres of work -- in the fields and
in the cottages. Short of being specially trained in a trade, they are the
most productive members of your society.

@;
@JOB20
@width=300
^{HARDY PIONEERS}
A special breed of men and women come to the new world and carve a
civilization out of the wilderness. Your pioneers are the advance guard of
your new society. They build the roads, clear the land, and plow the fields.
A pioneer can be created by giving any colonist tools, but hardy pioneers
can be found on the docks of Europe, or trained.
^
{Hardy pioneers perform all pioneer functions faster than ordinary
colonists working as pioneers.}

@;
@JOB21
@width=300
^{VETERAN SOLDIERS}
Any colonist can become a soldier if given muskets, but only experience in
combat or training can create veterans. Veterans of European wars
occasionally immigrate and appear on the docks, or you can train them in
the Royal University. Additionally soldiers that win battles eventually
become veterans.

@;
@JOB22
@width=300
^{SEASONED SCOUTS}
Any colonists mounted on horses may act as scouts. They see farther, move
faster, and have the ability to gather information about foreign
settlements, including Indian towns and villages. Seasoned scouts do all the
above more effectively and safely. Seasoned scouts sometimes appear as
immigrants on the Docks in Europe. Other times, scouts become seasoned
after visiting Indian settlements.


@;
@JOB23
@width=300
^{VETERAN DRAGOONS}
Until the rise of your Continental Army, your veteran dragoons are the
best military units you have. Dragoons are like soldiers in all respects
except they are mounted on horseback and are thus slightly more
powerful. They attain veteran status, like soldiers, through training or
experience.

@;
@JOB24
@width=300
{JESUIT MISSIONARIES}
^The Jesuits are zealous christians who will gladly enter the lands and
villages of the natives, establish missions, and live among them to teach
the ways of Christianity. They serve as ambassadors to the natives and can
often convince them to go to war for your cause against rival Europeans.
Their main function is to asuage the anger of the native tribes and create
converts.
^
{Jesuit missionaries are much more effective at all missionary tasks than
ordinary colonists that have been blessed as missionaries.}

@;
@JOB25
@width=300
^{INDENTURED SERVANTS}
Indentured Servants are people desiring to come to the New World but
who cannot afford to pay their own way. They, accordingly, put
themselves into bondage and agree to work off their passage in the New
World. They, like petty criminals, are useful workers in the fields and
mines, but are less productive than free colonists in manufacturing and
processing jobs. But, through education or military experience, they can
become free colonists.

@;
@JOB26
@width=300
^{PETTY CRIMINALS}
Petty Criminals have been ordered to the New World as punishment for
their crimes. In general, criminals are the {least productive members of

^{STOCKADE}
A stockade is a low wooden barricade made of poles, sharpened at the top,
with loop holes for firing muskets, and crude inside shelves for gunners.
^
The construction of a stockade around a settlement represents a
significant effort from the community and is a symbol of a willingness to
stay for a while. Construction of a stockade may be started when the
colony is still quite small (population 3). Once the stockade is completed,
the population of the colony may not voluntarily be reduced to less than 3.
^
{A unit defending a colony inside a stockade has its defense strength
increased by 100%%.}

Okay if that is what you need to get started on the scripting I can do that. I've been more focused on figuring out the main design. I already havea list of all of the units we need. Though I think we can use more than the two military types. Soldier and Dragoon. Regular and Veteran. Something else I was working on in fact.

I am not sure if you know about this, but TheLopez made a mod for buildings which can convert resources into new resources. So you can take raw tobacco and refine it into cigars.

http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=179993

Colonization is even mentioned once in the thread!

 

[GoodGame]

The simplest, or at least stop-gap solution is to lift the units and tech tree from the Omens scenario (if you have Warlords). In fact, that scenario might be the ideal seed for building a Colonization! mod, at least for an 'alpha' version.

Okay if that is what you need to get started on the scripting I can do that. I've been more focused on figuring out the main design. I already havea list of all of the units we need. Though I think we can use more than the two military types. Soldier and Dragoon. Regular and Veteran. Something else I was working on in fact.

And just for debate, I don't think it will be possible to do a 100% conversion of a Colonization! economy ruleset, at least regarding it's specialists, including the side-game of accumulating the types that you want.
Probably assume all pop points are "plain colonists" until converted to a specialist (e.g. fur trader) and only translate the most vital specialists, which would be the second tier ones in my mind (fur trader, statesman, rum distiller). I'd ignore the raw material type specialists (ore miner, fisherman, etc..). If possible, have each specialist apply a modifier to production, rather than an actual number (e.g. +25% fur coats, rather than +2 fur coats, +2 culture).

A key issue I see immediately is in the city display. If there are more than a few resources (research, commerce, culture), there is no room in the display. Having 6+ resource varieties (fur, gold, ore) may require BTS for the ability to easily mod the displays. A stop-gap may be to remove research, commerce, culture and replace with say rum, coats, cigars. TheLopez's mod might be the only way to do a complex economy like Colonization!, at least until BTS.

 

[Gaius Octavius]

How exactly do you plan to model the Sons of Liberty system? This was such an important part of Colonization that I think it needs to be included in some form. For those who never played the game, the Sons of Liberty was essentially a measurement of how many of your people favored independence. You could not declare your independence from your mother country until over 50% of all your colonists had membership in the Sons of Liberty. In addition, any city with over 50% membership gained a production bonus, which increased when it hit a full 100%. SOL membership was affected by how many “liberty bells” your colonies produced, which is sort of analogous to technology and research beakers in Civ 4.

I have thought of several ways to recreate this. The easiest way from a modding perspective is just to change culture to liberty bells. Then certain buildings, like the town hall, as well as city specialists, would produce liberty bells instead of culture points, and the SOL membership would increase each time it hit a threshold (10, 100, 500, etc.), until it reached a maximum of 100%. Cities with large numbers of liberty bells would gain defensive and/or production bonuses to represent the patriotism of the occupants, just like high culture does in regular Civ 4.

This brings up another idea: what if we scrap the existing great people and create new ones, like the Great Patriot? His function could be to discover a new technology (in this mod, you’d get a new member in the Continental Congress), or to dramatically increase the number of liberty bells in a colony, which gives SOL membership a huge boost. (This works exactly like the great artist’s culture bomb!)

There is one drawback to this method: membership in the SOL should be able to decrease as well as increase. In Colonization it seemed to decrease naturally if you did not continuously produce new liberty bells, and I’m not sure if this can be replicated; I know in Civ 3 you could create negative culture, but don’t know about Civ 4. Anyway, it’s worth thinking about.

Yes, I plan to utilize that mod.

Yeah, I had considered culture. I am not sure the best way to go, I think we will have a lot of different tests to find the best way.

BTS, will probably be the best starting point.

 

[Vadus]

my two cents :

Colonization has two main features :
Specialists and Resources.
A specialist has different boni in a city, like a farmer gets more food out of a farmed tile, and a carpenter gets more hammers ( production ) if there is a sawmill in town, at which he is working.
Every specialist can found cities and every specialist can be equipped with weapons to turn into a military unit.

Resources on the map can be mined to trade goods. These are stored in cities and can be loaded on ships and wagons.
They can also be captured by enemies.

Then there is an european habour, at which trade goods can be bought and sold. Also new specialist can be hired, as well as military units.

This all is very hard to apply to Civ4 as a mod, unfortunately

I am working on the code to have a unit work a tile and produce a quanity of that tiles resource every turn, depositing it in the cities storage. It is going to be a few weeks before I get all the code done as it requires several sub mod components be writen, each one having its own coplexities, but I have two of the comps' alpha versions done and am working on a 3rd, and that leaves me with 2-3 more that I haven't started yet. When I'm done I should be able to mimic the Col economy fairly well, including the moving of resources inside wagon units from city to city and the selling of resources to the "mother country" at prices that change based on your buy/selling activity.

One of the modcomps I have in alpha version mimics the Col popup when you enter a village. It does much more then the stock Col version and will make good use of all the Civ4 things that can be done, but it could easyly be limited to do just those things that Col did. Infact Demand Tribute, Speak with Chief, and Train Unit will be standard options.

On another topic, this mod will require almost all new advisor screens. According to the MENU.TXT file there are 10 Col Reports which work out to around 15 acual screens. Several of the Civ4 screens can be reworked and used, Military, Domestic, but those that don't have a parallel in Civ will need to be made. Fortunatly this will not be a problem. Adding new screens to Civ4 is surprisingly easy. Making the screens can be a little more complex, but I have a few years of python gui experience so it shouldn't be two hard.

There is one thing That is beyond my ability and that is the SDK. I dislike C++ alot and don't have the time to learn it beyond Hello World even if I did like its unnessicarily complex syntax.. I mean really, in 2007 I have to manually tell the computer the the text 3.0 is a floating number and that 3 is an integer. Really... But anyway, back on topic..

At the least we are going to need Dale's Ranged Bombardment Mod combined with TheLopez's ImprovementsOutsideBoarders, RoutPillageMod, ScriptableLeaderTraits, UpgradableBuildings, and BuildingResourceConverter Mods. If no else does it I guess I'll have to, but it will be several months as I'm not doing it until I absolutly have to. A good place for someone to start on this would be to combine Dale's Ranged Bombardment Mod with TheLopez's ImprovementsOutsideBoarders Mod as these are the two most important for an alpha version in my opinion.

Okay if that is what you need to get started on the scripting I can do that. I've been more focused on figuring out the main design. I already havea list of all of the units we need. Though I think we can use more than the two military types. Soldier and Dragoon. Regular and Veteran. Something else I was working on in fact.

Awesome, I'll be looking forward to seeing it. Just post it in this thread when you get it done.

 

[Elucidus]

I have done a little in the SDK, I am sure we can work it out.

 

[Jeckel]

I solved the SDK problem, I finally got my buddy who knows some C++ into the gig. With his help I was able to update ActionButtons2 from v1.61 to Warlords v2.08 and then combined it with ImprovementsOutsideBoarders Mod by TheLopez.

I'll upload the basic mod in a few minutes.

 

[Jeckel]

Here it is.

 

[GoodGame]

Just curious, how do you plan to display this info on a city basis, if you import like all 6 (?) resources+finished good versions (sugar/rum, cotton/cloth, ).

O, well, I haven't set anthing in stone yet, displaying stuff in-game is several steps after setting the stuff up, but I will probly add a new screen that will display all the relavent data.

I'm monitoring this thread but unfortunately my current schedule is so tight that it's almost impossible me to lay hands into the game itself, let alone the mod making process.

I also think Beyond the Sword expansion seems to have quite nice features that might fit into the scheme of things considering Colonization mod.
The actual making of Colonization mod will probably take months so I suggest you consider waiting BtS coming around before proceeding further. Designing and planning things on paper, putting heads together and adding small parts to the jigsaw of course are good ideas already.

At first I think people shouldn't get too tangled with the Colonization game but more like use it as only as starting point and move from that point onwards.

I have plenty of ideas in storage so if I have time I try to throw something at you.

*Bump*

I'm planning new Colonization mod for BtS that won't however use directly the features of Colonization. There will be some sort of simplified trade system but there will be no example quantative resources or different colonist professions (except city specialists). Some concepts such as of health and happiness will be modified towards Colonization style. Tech tree will be replaced with Continental Congress and Founding Fathers will work as "techs" to give available new units, buildings, civicks etc.

The time line will run from 1492-1892. There won't be a lot of technological progress as I don't want to turn it into technological race but the later stages of game will feature railroads etc.

BtS offers some interesting new concepts like privateers, on map trade routes, colonies, events etc. that IMO increases options to consider for Colonization mod.

I have already figured out the nations and leaders for european powers and have some sort of view about what kind of bonuses they gain. I want that each nation and leader gives a bit different experiences of play. Natives won't be available for player control.

This is just small bump for this thread and I cannot promise any progress as everything is in planning stages still really.

I'm waiting BtS to come out before I can check where everything stands especially since I have constantly quite busy schedule to follow so I have no idea whether I have actually time to do the mod.

If you have any ideas, please share them.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Some concepts, terms and definitions.

Health will be replaced by "stars". Stars are similar as those "Crosses" from Colonization. Main idea is that if colony has stars (is healthy) it offers chance for larger population and opportunities to newcomer immigrants. Example churches might add stars as they offer religious freedom for people. There won't be too many building that reduce stars except maybe slave markets and such.

Happiness will be replaced with Sons of freedom and unhappiness with Tories. Sons of freedom present how happy people are in colonies and how positively they see independence from the mothercountry. Certain buildings might cause people turn into Tories.

Research production will be Liberty bell production which represents how statesmen (scientists) try to convince Founding Fathers to join Nation's Continental Congress. Buildings like Town and City Hall can turn colonist into statesmen specialist for this purpose.

Trade Between Old and New World will happen namely with buildings providing commercial bonuses or providing Goods in exchance for resources. However before this is possible player has to gain access to Sea Route resources which represent the routes between New World and other parts of the World. These resources lay on sea/ocean (like Oil) and unto them must be first build "Cargo-Ship"-Improvement before they can be used.

Certain Goods are required to build more advanced units and buildings. These Goods can be either produced in colonies from raw resources, gained from trade with other nations or shipped from Europe by building Cargo (national project) for that particular Good.

Civicks are replaced with Founding Father Ideals which work exactly like Civicks and offer choices how governing colonies happen and how relations toward mothercountry are handled. Later more advanced choices are given available as colonies seek independence.

Culture will be changed to "Influence" that represent more general influence of colonies to their surroundings and how much land colonies actually use and own rather than arts, literature, habits and norms. So there won't be artists or similar spreading it but Governors and administrators that actually can enlarge the areas colonies occupy.

I have no definite plans for religion and I don't want to take too much space in the plans anyhow. Somehow the process of europeans trying to christianize natives should be present but still I'm not sure how it all fits in with the current system of religion in Civ IV.

It's probable that Independency Victory condition will work like Spaceship race while Pan-American Congress (Great Wonder) works like UN. However I'm looking into opportunity continue the game even after colonies have gained independency.

I've combined a few more small sdk mods into the dll, I'll try to get it uploaded and attatched some time soon.

I also have most of the python code done to spawn treasure units when, say a Incan Village improvement, is pillaged, and for the player to be given gold when the treasure unit moves into one of their cities.

Along the line I have also gotten workers working on bonuses and producing resource wagons of the worked bonus. To do this it was neccessary to keep track of what "job" the worker was working on. The same method combined with the giving and removing of promotions will work very well to simulate the Colonization functionality of Colonist Professions.

On a last note, though it doesn't have much to do with Colonization, I have made several big breakthroughs in adding ZoC into Civ4 and should have that accomplished over the next couple weeks.

Overall it seems things are moving allong nicely on the whole CivColonization front. Keep up the good work everyone.

 

[Jeckel]

Being away from my coding computer I messed around with a screen shot of the Colonization city screen and made up a proper dds image to use as a Civ4 screen background.
Here is the png that I converted to dds. I cleared out all the little corn, crown, trade goods, and other things as they will be placed onto as individual widgets.

Now that I'm home I'm going to see about turning this into a working screen in the game.

 

[C~G]

Wow, you are making this mod reality everyday I see.

I also have most of the python code done to spawn treasure units when, say a Incan Village improvement, is pillaged, and for the player to be given gold when the treasure unit moves into one of their cities.

If I get my hands into making the mod I mentioned earlier I would like to "lend" that code.

Keep up the good work, I bet there are more than just me that are interested about playing Colonization mod.
