Dawn of Civilization - an RFC modmod by Leoreth

[Caesar Augustus]

Between Lighthouses, Harbors, and the Fishing Industry, aren't coastal cities OP enough?

 

[Dumanios]

How about Offshore Platforms (Civ3): Available at Miniaturization (er, Composites?), cost 240 shields, and gave a shield to every water tile.

Though this might make the Dutch even more powerful. (Lighthouse + Dike + Offshore Platform?)

 

[Hippo8085]

Offshore platform is already for oil. Why not make Quarry +1 commerce towards the end of the game, like (ironically) at refrigeration, or early game, like at currency. I notice that many of the stone resources are either salt or a semi-expensive building material, and marble could always use a little more value after its age of wonder building is done.

 

[Dumanios]

Then what could we call it? Desalinization Plant?

 

[Hippo8085]

Did you read the rest? That is my opinion on it. Story over. I don't help with the building until after it gets implemented, if it does. I am thinking +1 on quarry after a tech is easier to put in if we really want to have some representation of salt.

Also, I think that there are already enough resources. I'm sure if we looked hard enough we could find one for every tile on the map.

 

[pippo84]

open ocean are pretty much the same but in smaller 'parts' like the Red Sea, Mediterranean etc. the salt content differs a bit
if anything like that.. a building would be more appropriate imo (requiring a harbor? that way it would only be built in cities next to saltwater)
Fitting german name would be a 'Saline'
in english 'saltern' / 'saltworks..'

I mean Saltpan, as Trapani (Italy), Ile de Ré (France), or Dead Sea...
where people obtain salt working sea water... (or by ground, as in Uyuni - Sud Lipez - La Paz (Bolivia))

 

[pippo84]

Researching a part on my own and bulbing the rest immediately worked for me. There's a reason why I've added a priest slot to their UB

And salt as a water resource? Isn't all water equally salty (barring freshwater lakes)?

This is what I did everytimere: build the UB + "reserach" the Prophet; research Theology untill 500 R points.. But almost all the time a civ discovers Theologhy before the Prophet is born.... Now I've succeded in the first two goal, but in the last 2 days I've reloaded Ethiopians at least 30 times.... I was giving up....

I have done a chart of all civilizations, their starting years, UUs, UBs, UPs and UHVs. On the first page there is a chart of Rhye's and Fall of Civilization; on the second page there is a chart of RFC: Dawn of Civilization 1.9 with all changes made to RFC in italic.
EDIT: The latest version of the chart is available here: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showpost.php?p=11717512&postcount=5811.

I've heard that water from northern Baltic have such low salinity that humans can drink it to hydrate themselves. Those of you in Europe should go ahead and try it!

The Baltic Sea used to be a fresh water glacial lake. That's part of the reason.

Oh great! Thanks! That's actually really useful.

Oh, I'm in easy reach of both North and Baltic Sea and the difference is easily noticeable. But does that imply that every North Sea tile should have the salt resource?

 

[Solzhenitsyn]

I think the Internet should use Science to complete it instead of production; much similar to how the Levy uses food. Otherwise, countries like Germany or Russia often complete the Internet, when it was the less productive but more scientific countries that actually did.

 

[Leoreth]

There's no mechanism to make that happen currently.

Also, the Internet is intended for civs that lack research and want to catch up, so I think that would be counterproductive as well.

 

[DC123456789]

A small question, how do you enable cheat mode and switch civs? I've often wanted to do that to see what other civs' stability is.

 

[hoplitejoe]

Same as the normal game I think.

 

[Hippo8085]

You can also do that more quickly and easily if you don't want to see specifics by going into WB and pressing Ctrl + I to see unknown civs. You should be able to tell which side of the indicator they are on by seeing the map.

 

[Leoreth]

Ctrl+Z reveals the whole map and scoreboard with cheat mode.

 

[Bair_the_Normal]

Strg+Z reveals the whole map and scoreboard with cheat mode.

Strg=Ctrl here in good old Merkuh', I believe.

 

[Leoreth]

Hah, you're right. Certain abbreviations are simply hardwired into the brain.

 

[AdrienIer]

Even the french keyboards use ctrl (from the french word controle), what does strg stand for ?
