Cultural Diffusion

Gedemon · Mar 8, 2012

For great artist, only fix I can think of (without the DLL or an LUA event telling when the culture bomb is activated) is to remove the culture bomb ability and give that unit a spreading and/or converting culture ability.

btw you'll also have to change

Code:

ALLOW_CIV4_SPREADING = false

to

Code:

ALLOW_CIV4_SPREADING = true

for what you want.

is it just me or isnt it working on Scenarios? when i try a scenario the loading screen just never ends with the mod turned on.

anyways its still such a great mod! <3

What do you think about giving the artist as ability to unlock a policy for sacrifice? But I wonder if this makes him too strong...

Which scenarios are you trying ?

I think I will give him (and it's improvement) the ability to spread culture like cities.

KnelRivendare · Mar 15, 2012

my own Scenario "World Domination 1885" and Lenin1917's "Imperial Age" they doesnt contain any modded things just plain Worldbuilder files.

on generated maps it works fine ts why i thought it must be caused by scenarios

This is great (I hope; I haven't tried it yet)! One of my favorite things to do in Civ 3/4 was to take over enemy cities that had good resources via cultural takeover

crawf0rd · Mar 15, 2012

Edit: D'oh, wrong thread. Thanks so much for this! One issue: I get alerts of other civilizations taking tiles even if I haven't met them yet.

Small update

Please note that tile flipping is now OFF by default, you'll have to edit one line in CultureDefines.lua to set it back (see change log or first post)

v.8 (Apr 11, 2012)
- Bugfix : no visual spamming of culture in plot help text when scrolling the map during AI turn.
- Bugfix : the player get notifications for tile flipping only if he is concerned (aquired or lost tiles for his empire)
- Changed : list culture on plot in decreasing order
- Config : default value for tile conquest is "false" (can be set ON by changing the ALLOW_CULTURE_CONQUEST value to "true" in CultureDefines.lua)
- Config : default value for tile flipping is "false" (can be set ON by changing the ALLOW_TILE_FLIPPING value to "true" in CultureDefines.lua)

Gedemon - will this work with Thalassicus' UP/VE Mod?

Gedemon · Apr 12, 2012

Yes, no incompatibility so far.

Kimia · Apr 17, 2012

I have a problem. I downloaded and installed the mod, and then enabled it. I then proceeded to set up a game in the mod menu and launch. The problem is that there is no tile information such as " :culture:

%" showing up in game and no tiles are being flipped. I did set the two values in the culturedefines.lua file to true. This also happens to be the only mod I have installed currently.

Gedemon · Apr 17, 2012

Is your game patched to last version ?

if so, can you please post your lua log after starting a game with the mod activated:

- Enable lua loging : open the config.ini file (in "..\My Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 5") with notepad or any other text editor, find the line with "LoggingEnabled = 0" and replace by "LoggingEnabled = 1"
- Launch a new game with Cultural Diffusion enabled, do 1 or 2 turns, quit game, go to the "..\My Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 5\Logs" folder, open Lua.log with your text editor, and save the log as a .txt file and post it here, or just copy/past the text in the file here, using the SPOILER tag (

) to not waste space

Kimia · Apr 17, 2012

Yes, my game is patched to the latest version. Here's what I got with 3 turns playing China:

Spoiler :

Gedemon · Apr 17, 2012

Thank you for the report, I'll post a bug fix ASAP (maybe tomorrow), seems I've broken something with the last update...

There is an entry referring to my Revolution mod that prevent the display of cultural value if the Revolution mod is not loaded. Obviously this is a problem as the Revolution component is not yet released

(and I want that mod to be independent anyway...)

Gedemon · Apr 18, 2012

New version uploaded, sorry for that bug, should have tested it alone before release...

v.10 (Apr 18, 2012)
- Bugfix : culture value were not displayed on mouse over hexes if the Revolution mod was not activated.

Kimia · Apr 18, 2012

It works now. Thank you!

Gedemon · Apr 22, 2012

Small update :

v.11 (Apr 22, 2012)
- Feature : options added to the advanced setup screen to set Culture Flipping and Culture Conquest ON/OFF.
- Added : Policies can influence culture diffusion (and corresponding ON/OFF option to setup screen)

Here are the (first batch of) policies effects :

- Liberty opener : other's (foreign, separatist) culture groups (CG) grow at same rate as your's in your cities.
- Tradition opener : convert 2% of foreign's CG in cities to your's each turn.
- Tradition finisher : convert 3% of foreign's CG in cities to your's each turn.
- Communism : convert 10% of foreign's CG in cities to your's each turn.
