Current v1.13 Development Discussion

One can start as Harappa and switch to India with 2/3 UHV

Is it certain that Vatavelli was white? It was my understanding that pre-Aryan population was more like Tamils...

Oh my God!

 

[need my speed]

I wonder how they look in-game (colour scheme, leader, flag, button, unit, building...). I also wonder if they can survive - would depend on their modifiers I guess - and if they can, how powerful they'd be. I mean, their unique stuff sounds great.

Time to update to this new SVN version.

I'd like to see some pictures as well.
Where can I find information about Vatavelli?

Yep, don't know if it makes India's game easier.

I think it isn't even certain if anyone named Vatavelli even existed. We don't know Indus script after all. I think the name is based on some Mesopotamian sources?

And yeah, the skin color is definitely wrong, I'm just stuck with the currently existing LH. Maybe I can edit the skin somewhat.

IIRC Vatavelli is a hypothesized name that the Harrapans may have used based on some conjectures. We don't actually know who any of their leaders were or what there names were.

Time to get back to Civ IV.

 

[calad]

Huh? I thought Leoreth abandoned idea of Harappa long time ago?

 

[Lokki242]

Leoreth, why don't you use the Vatavelli LH from RFC Asia? He has a darker skin tone from what I recall.

Oh really? Haven't kept track of RFCA, will give it a look.

 

[citis]

Great!

Just in time I was about to abandon DoC (only for a while, i can't stand abandon it forever). Good job Leoreth, you always find a way to keep us playing the mod and almost never get bored.

I like the new civs. TBH I would like to see more such civs, playable and unplayable ones. One other idea was pretty good: Small unplayable civs near players.

For example Scotland and Ireland near human England. Burgundy near human France. Vietnam near human China, Khmer, Thailand and Tibet. and so on.

Something like that was considered by Leoreth, if I'm not mistaken.

Yes, that's what i refer to. I don't remember where it was.

New civilization: Harappa

Awww yeeeeah

- Unique Power: Sanitation: positive health contributes to city growth

Somehow UP stops working when you train units with food. Meaning if one has extra 3 health -- it will grow the city +3 , but will not speed up the training of a worker by 3 extra . Interestingly, mouse over info predict correct number of turns (i.e. taking into account 3 extra foods it shows 11 turns for Worker) but the moment you chose to actually train it -- progress bar shows 17 turns.

 

[Leoreth]

That's intended, city growth only, but not unit production. Unfortunately the interface only adjusts after production is changed, which is why the predicted turns are wrong.

^This.

My game seems to be crashing pretty consistently.

Harappa 1st goal gets checked even when no trade network is seen in the scoreboard.

Can you check if you are connected to someone you've lost contact to?

 

[Tigranes]

I know for sure I am not. Never contacted Babylon, have contact with China via Tibet, obviously no trade. Can it be that game registers contact vs trade, or minors count somehow?
