I reloaded two different autosaves before it and it kept freezing on the same 40th turn, I'll try playing again, 1700 Spain, tonight and see if it does the same thing. I think I will reinstall the mod too and the modmods.
 
A reinstall is unlikely to get rid of this problem, so save yourself the trouble.
 
Is there no version with a playable Canada? it seems very strange that the second largest nation on earth would be left out. Also considering many civers are probably Canadian and would love to play as Canada. Thanks

No there isn't Canada in the game. DoC includes only civs and not polities, due to global scale. This means that it includes civs that had an important impact in human history throughout the ages. Well, Canada had an impact in WWII, but this isn't enough. There are about 200 states on earth, but the game can hardly support 20 states at the same time.

Then "who is Canada?". If that's the question Canada can be represented by England, due to being member of the Comonwealth or by USA, because of NAFTA and because in DoC civs represents some times their neighbours too.

If you want to include Canada in DoC then you should answer these questions:
*What impact will have Canada in the game.
*UU,UB,UP
*3 UHV goals.

However, a player had modified an older version of the mod and converted Thailand into Canada, but he didn't uploaded.
 
Impact? sheer size and resources.
UU avro arrow-best jet of its time
UB hockey rink
these are already included in the canada civ mod on these forums
UP peacekeeping or something along those lines maybe a bonus to relations with leaders?

uhv 1 control alaska before america
uhv 2 keep up with americas pop
uhv 3 be top 3 in production by 2000
These are some suggestions

Which is why Argentina, Colombia, Mexico, and Peru are all included. I'm sure every member of CFC can name one of the many Peruvians we've had a global impact and several presidents of Colombia. ;-)

Of course, our Benevolent Dictator is more than welcome to include or exclude anyone he wants to and happily he thinks carefully about it. But let's admit that's how the decisions are taken - game play, not historical significance!

It's mostly work that doesn't go into improving the game for most players games.

Peru is just a prettied-up Inca respawn, that just isn't comparable.
 
I never said it was easy. The Canada civ is already available on this site. I'd just really love to see Canada added to this great mod, and i hope someone can do it

Provide me with an extremely good alternate history scenario where Canada becomes a major power and I might take it into consideration for my own modmod.
 
Well i want it for the regular Doc, but how about after razing Washington in 1814 the British retake control of the northern half of the american colonies giving Canada more population which is all it needs to be a superpower.

In which case Canada is basically what America is IRL.
 
who says we would be? America gained independence through bloodshed. We did it peacefully. Im not saying eliminate america entirely, you could still give them territory. Maybe they go on to take all of mexico?
 
Maybe make a version with canada as an option? Its 1 extra civ not that much more. I dont see the problem.

I never said it was hard. In some ways, adding a new civ is one of the most trivial things for me by now. But it still is tedious. With my current experience and some previous restructuring of the code it may be only one fifth of the work it originally required to add a new civ, but it's still a lot of work.

Already available civs in the database don't help me a lot, if anything they only save me the trouble of finding the right graphics (although sometimes not if the graphics are unsatisfactory). That's not most of the work. Actually inserting them into the scenario is. Settler maps, war maps, all sorts of internal modifiers, coming up with a UP, coding the UP, coming up with a UHV, coding the UHV, adjusting their AI personality, possibly modifying neighboring civs to account for the new civ's presence, making all of these things fit together to create an interesting playing experience.

I'm definitely not going to half-ass something like this. As a wise man once said "Don't half-ass two things, whole-ass one thing". I'm whole-assing other things right now.
 
Adding Native Americans respawning as Canada? (not a good idea?)
 
Tell me why English cities or Independent cities there representing Canada is not enough.... and try to answer that without any nationalism bias.
Canada is important, indeed, but why Canada should be present as a civilization? Arguments such as being the largest etc does not make sense in game. Late games are already too crowded and takes too long to end the turn: adding 1 more civilization for merely "decoration" if there's no strong arguments why then I'm not supporting it.
Even the civilization that everybody thought just fill-in-the-empty-space like Tibet or Kongo, have several world-changing achievement that lasts for long time.

Tibet: Spreading and preserving Buddhism in central Asia, Mongolia, China, etc.. and present some challenge to India and China.
Kongo: Slave trade

Also, we've discussed enough about Native American. Please.

Historically Canada is quite young having gained independence in 1867 but has a very rich history, and very bright future thanks to global warming.
