[Hector Achilles]

love the mod so far, but am new to overlord. how do you found a religion? in the tech tree the religion boxes are red. when i click on one of them nothing happens? i have researched monotheism, but i have not found judiasm? what am i not getting?

 

[keldath]

Hector Achilles, hi,

welcome to ol-2 mod

you can found religion by building a building named found religion (judaism, hinduism).

each civ can found up to 2 religions that are uniqe to it.

if you leant monotheism and dont have a found religion building - then your civ cant found judaism, look in the pedia on the uniqe buildings of your civ to know what religions can you found.

ive also added a detailed file of the religion system in the document filder.

have fun

"you can found religion by building a building named found religion (judaism, hinduism)."

i'm not sure what that means? I am playing the german peeps, bismark to be exact. I have found priesthood, meditation, judiasm, monotheism, polytheism, and still I have no religion.
I have looked in the pedia numerous amount of times but it does not help me. it says the german peeps can found druidism or christianity? i should have found druidism by now w/ the above techs i have researched yes?
I cannot find anything about unique buldings that would help me w/ a religion?
Sorry for the dumb questions, just never ran into a problem founding religion before. Most mods you find monotheism, you get judiasm, you find polytheism, you get hinduism, etc...

 

[keldath]

hey,

start a game, use 300 turns speed,

choose for the sake of the example, israel,

look at monotheism in the tech tree - see that theres a building "discover judaism"

once you build it, youll get the judaism tech, and youul found judaism.

that simple.

the document im refering to is under ths docs folder withing overlord2-2.00 folder,
the document is named overlord religions, or keldath religions, cant remmber exactly right now.

but, the bottom line:
each civ has a uniqe building named - discover "xxxxxx", can be build in the relevant tech, once build, you get to found a religion, only if anither civ havnt beat you to it, and built the building before you.

 

[Hector Achilles]

thank you. i finally figured out the religion thing! im a slow learner obviously. unfortunately now i have gotten 3 ctd's in a row and can't go anyfurther in this game. when i finally get to nature worship, i crash every time.

 

[keldath]

wierd...i played alot of games, never had a ctd,

what settings are you playing exactly?

 

[Aphenro]

I'm also getting a CTD. Here's a copy of my save game. As soon as I hit the next turn button I crash.

Thanks for making a great mod.

 

[keldath]

Aphenroת
thanks, ill check it on the next days,
meanwhile , can you write the settings of the game? revolutions and so on?

 

[keldath]

Aphenro, hi,

well, i played 50+ turns with your save, and had no ctd, also did some autoai on it, nothing crashed.

i reccomend not to play with dynamic names by the way,
also, you chose no espionage yet you chose in the bug screen revdcm, you marked espionage values on...

anyway, try to reload the game and see if it ctd again, its ok at my end.

 

[Aphenro]

Hey Keldath,

I still get the same crash with that savegame. I started a new game and disabled Revolution Mod, BarbarianCiv Mod, TechDiffusion Mod and DynamicCivNames Mod and it also crashed.

I have the game installed in a non-default directory. Could there be a hard coded path somewhere that points to the defaul location and that's causing the crash?

I'll try uninstalling and re-installing in the default location and see what happens.

 

[Aphenro]

Nope still crashing with the default install location. Any way to put some enhanced tracing or checkpointing in so we have a better idea which module is casuing the problem?

 

[keldath]

humm...well ill try to load it again, see whats causeing the ctd, im usually good at tracing those crashes,

ill have alook.



*****
again...i cant get a crash, the save worls fine at my end, ran 20+ turns - no crash.


try to use my settings - same folder, also try to play on a different map then planet generator, and chech off the espionage in the bug screen.

bottum line - the save you gave me isnt ctding in my cpu...

 

[HannibalBarka]

The balance is a huge problem in this game. Settlers are too cheap, science is and culture are too cheap also compared to "buildings", in the late middle age, it was like 2 turns to search a tech (not a outdated one, I'm talking about Paper for example), when it building a market needed 10 turns at least (in my biggest citie) !!!! Emperor level on 1500 turns. There is a balance problem between hammers and other aspects. Many ancient time wonders were still not built in the late middle age for example, and again that was Emp level.

I also have a bug concerning the specialist: I don't see the new ones (statesman and geologist) I only see the vanilla ones.

 

[keldath]

HannibalBarka, hi,
welcome to my mod first of all,

from your desription, i gather that you just didnt download my patch.......
it fixes the costs of units,research and the buildings to a balanced one.

the bug you are refering to isnt a nug,
its a display option of the bug mod:

pres ctrl+alt+o,

go to the city intergace or one of tabs, not sure whichm

look for great people display - currently it set to chevron, you need to change this to stacker,
and it will show you a "fixed" view of all of the speisielists.

i hope this will answer you troubles, hope you play again with the patch, and offcourse report your impressions
have fun,
kel.

 

[Hector Achilles]

how do i attach a saved game? i want to show you my ctd. as soon as I find tech. "nature worship"...ctd. can't get past it.

sorry again to bother you w/ simple questions. not a tech guy.

Thanx

 

[keldath]

Hector Achilles,

your not bothering, your helping me.

you have an "go advanced" botton when you write a new post, after that - you have a attachment manage, there you add you save.
also you can send it to my mail if you prefer - keldath@gmail.com.

another thing.......
as i wrote, i did countless games, copuntless tests,
i also checked "Aphenro" attacked save above - and founded nature worship in that savegame.

never ever had a nature warship crash,
nt sure why,
plz send me the save and ill take a look.

 

[Hector Achilles]

keldath,

i of course could not find the save that would ctd once the tech "nature worship" was researched by me. i must of erased it. i did find one of my saves about 30 turns out, and it DID NOT crash this time once i hit nature worship. it made it through? what does that mean. i have attached that save to see if it plays through for you too.

 

[keldath]

not sure what can i do with the save,
if it did not crash, do you want me to make sure it rans in my cpu?

are you running on vista by any chance?

 

[Hector Achilles]

no need to run it on your cpu. im just curious why it would crash one day and not the next?

I am running on vista. I hear that can cause problems too. I play a lot of mods though and I don't really have that many crashes.

 

[keldath]

Hector Achilles,

vista...thats gotta explain it....

theres a file that suppose fix a path or something like this ,

ill check it out and tell you if theres a fix for vista.

my mod, since i created it, didnt work 100% with vista
