[miau1942]

Hi guys!
I need some help ,i downloaded the new patch and everything is fine except the map dont have any resources (luxury or normal) and city states....is this a patch bug or what ? should i wait for a new patch?

@miau1942 , have you played with VP before or is it your first time?

What you are describing is typically happening when your Civ5 is not up to date. The latest version ends with .279, you can see the game version under the main menu when you launch the game.

For Venice, when it says "Target Restrictions Removed" what does this mean. What target and what restrictions? Thanks

"Target" means a city you want to send traderoutes to. "Restriction" is, you can only send one TR to any target. This restriction applies to AI as well, except Venice. Dandolo can send as many TR as he likes to any target city.

Does this mean you can send like 20 internal production increase traderoutes to one of your own cities and create like a mega production city?

Can you send all your trade routes to the highest value route, etc?

Any other general strategies that people use with this no restriction bonus?

Can someone explain to me how Great Person Points in Capital is affected by other cities with specialists? It seems pointless to have specialists in non Capital cities with how long it takes to create great people vs the capital, especially when choosing tradition. Also, Any specific strategies here in regards to creating great people as I feel it is one of the areas where i don't quite understand the basic strategies.

This thread is about installation.

Hi folks,
I've installed Steam on my C: drive, but i'm having to then install any Steam games onto an SD Card due to a disastrous lack of ROM on my work computer. Storage is unable to be upgraded due to a whole bunch of software licence issues etc etc that are work-related..
So.... i've installed Civ 5 Vanilla onto the now named D: drive (aka SD card), but when i run the VP .exe, i think it by default installs onto C (\\documents\mygames\.. or similar path. The game runs perfectly, but in the loading screen, a whole bunch of errors show up, and then the UI is totally useless at Turn 0 (literally nothing looks like it should except for the settler..). Has anyone tried to run VP from a different drive and got it working? If so, could you pleas respond an let me know how; alternatively, could someone very cluey and "techy" try it out or something and see if they can get it to run for me?

Muchas gracias, Baggins!

EDIT: I followed instructions shown in jpeg. Still can't get the EUI to work. All MODS were placed in correct folder on SD card, but its the EUI that seems to be playing up still

The 43 civ mod no EUI and causing issues with my city banner similar to the screenshot posted. I installed the community patch using the current automatic installer

 

[Baggins89]

Yeah i have a similar issue, except i can't use the auto-installer due to my "game folders" being installed on a external storage device. I have to manually place the MODS in the correct folder which seems to be okay, but i want to use EUI to play, and i can't get it to work when i have game installed on an SD card or Ext HDD. Plus, imvho, the instructions are pretty vague for the Manual install files at the top of this thread.

I can't figure it out, which is a huge shame

@Baggins89 , check my post 3059 three pages back. Run the autoinstaller and then move EUI from the wrong default folder to the correct one on your SD card. If you are not sure where the EUI is actually being (wrongly) installed run a search for "UI_bc1" on your C: drive. Then move it to the correct DLC folder.

The VP itself is installed correctly for you? You can check the active mods when in-game when you open the menu click mods at the bottom of theenu dialogue.

Hello. I want to use this mod just for the AI to be better at war. What do i need to install then? I used this mod not long ago but i had to remove many of my mods because the game slowed down to mutch in late game. So i just want to use the minimum of this mod just to make wars harder

Install just the Community Patch. Strange, due to all the optimizations, it should actually make your game run (significantly) faster.

Okey, so only the Community patch have the optimization to make it run faster to? I dont say its this mod that slowed my game, but i used many mods so i guess its an another mod then

Yep, Community Patch includes the AI improvement stuff, code optimizations and bug fixes. Plus a very few gameplay changes such as siege units moving 1 tile per turn in enemy territory and not needing to setup - this was more AI friendly.

Okey understand. Thanks for the quick answer
I got crash when i try to load a map with this mod. it worked before so i dont know whats wrong now. only installed CP and 43 civs

Update: nothing was wrong with this mod some resource conflict i found out

 

[vyyt]

Hmm, never tried CP + 43 civs, it could be bugged, but have you tried some basic map (such as continents) and without any other extra mods to make sure it was because of CP/43 civs?

hi, i'm confused, there are two files in the mega folder. i'm not sure which is the proper one? i have the 7-17-3 installed, but there's also 7-29-1 which seems newer, but i don't know what's the difference? where's the changelog? should i download and install the newer file? i don't really understand how the version numbering works, there's a date mentioned as the "newest version" and that would correspond to 7-17. so 3 would be the 3rd version from that day? but there's also 4.7.17 next to the date. which would be 7-17-4? and 7-29 should be newer, but it's not listed as the newest release in the first post (and that would be 1.29.7?)...
so... should i download the newer file? or should i just play the one i have installed and wait for the version currently in beta?

 

[SLGray]

The others could be beta versions.
