Conquest mods

[EddyG17]

It may be a little early to be talking about this but, hey who cares?!
the first mod I see coming is one that let you research all technologies, lets you use all resources, lets you build all wonders and all units (mabybe not UU) from every scenario in one game and dare i say a play with all civs? What you think?

Crazy enough to be attempted. Who is the first candidate (requirement: being an experienced modder!!! )

I just don't see how some techs from some scenarios will be in. But that is an additional challange...

 

[warpstorm]

You couldn't play with all the civs at once as there is a limit of 31 civs per scenario.

 

[EddyG17]

can't the 31 civs limit and or the cities limit be changed?

 

[warpstorm]

Not without coding changes.

 

[EddyG17]

coding?, anyway, it can be done

 

[EddyG17]

you can add techs using the editor where says techs in rules but you cant add eras, anyway game crashes.

 

[EddyG17]

I think we will be able to add eras because in the some senarios there a diferent eras, stone age, iron age i think it is going to be a feature in conquest

 

[warpstorm]

You can change the name of the four eras now.

The Mesopotamian Scenario will have 3 eras

Bronze, Iron, and something else

I mean that sence they added/modiffied a era in a scenario maybe we could do the same.

 

[warpstorm]

You can modify an era in Civ3 now. There is is nothing stopping you from totally redoing the name and tech tree for an era today if you've got PTW (it's been so long since I played vanilla, I'm not sure if it can also).

 

[EddyG17]

last time i did that my game crashed

 

[warpstorm]

Did you attempt to add one or just rename an existing one?

perhaps copper, wich lead to bronze. But copper age Civ's where already getting quite advanced

 

[EddyG17]

i added one

 

[warpstorm]

Yeah, that doesn't work and my version of the editor doesn't even have that option.

Using all resources shouldn't be too hard. I am making a mod with 64 resources in it. The problem I am having is with buildings, not resources. Of course, the map looks more cluttered with all those extra resources on it...

 

[EddyG17]

try adding a unit my game also crashed, that shouldn't happen right

They've said that the number of Eras is hard-coded, so it's unlikely to be changed.

It's, however, possible to effectively decrease the number of Eras. Say we wanted to have a scenario divided into the Stone Age, the Bronze Age and the Iron Age. Simply rename the later three Eras to these, and call the first one, say, "Prehistoric", and then, under "Player Properties" under "Scenario" in the Editor you set everyone's "Starting Era" to "Stone Age". Now the first Era will be over when the game starts, and you'll have three Eras to play in.

NB: You do this all civilizations will start with all Prehistoric Techs discovered.
