So, does this mean the new build will be out real soon?

 

[Kal-el]

well, the next beta build is going to be released to the testers soon, and then when that has passed muster we will release the next version to the public.

 

[NobleLeader]

Sorry for the newbie FAQ, but where can I download the graphics of DyP ?

Tks & congrats.

 

[RobO]

Try the DyP website. Look at Kal-el's sig

 

[pdescobar]

FYI for the team, DyP has once again come up in General Discussions with a small thread about tech pace

 

[widdowmaker]

Oh god. I dont got time to read 130 pages. Just one quick question.

Upkeep. With all these new building you will be shelling out the gpt real quick. How do you make MORE Gpt? Have yo umodded the commerce made by tiles? Maybe add one commerce to everything. Heck i might even add two. (if i knew how to mod).

 

[RobO]

Hi widdowmaker

I'm pretty sure we did increase the amount of commerce the tiles produce, but it is so long ago that I don't remember the details.

In any case there are a number of new money- or trade increasing things to build.

It is definitely not the intention to make this thing unplayable - but having it a tad difficult might be considered as a good thing. Try it and judge for yourself.

I jus tried installing version 1.05 from the exe file, then i got this error
CRC failed in DyP\Text\Civilopedia.txt. I tried to download it again but still got the error.

 

[pdescobar]

widdowmaker, the increased maintenance is a challenge but it can be overcome. Like RobO says, there are several more commerce-increasing improvements similar to the bank. Additionally, because of rate caps on most governments you are almost forced into a higher tax rate earlier in the game so you wind up generating more income that way as well. And the increased number of luxury resources and happiness buildings means you may be able to operate with a lower luxury rate, also increasing commerce.

Also, with DyP you have to consider gov't choices much more carefully. In my current game, I will have to stay in Democracy (which is similar to unmodded Republic) because the most advanced representative govts (such as Federal Republic) will cost too much in unit support.

So, in summary, it's different, but it's pretty well balanced so you should be ok.

@Yoda Power:

I just downloaded it from the DyP site, and can unpack it without errors, and even open the Civilopedia.txt

If you're behind a proxy, either disable it, or try flushing it's cache (only if you control it of course - don't try that on your ISP's proxy, if they have one )

Otherwise, try installing a different (preferably newer) version of WinZip/WinRar, or try a different browser.

Let me know if the problems exist. If you're unsure about whether you're behind a proxy or not, you can just email me the Internet Service Provider name and I'll find out

 

[Yoda Power]

I dont know if im behind a proxy, would downloading winrar/winzip solve the problem even if im behind a proxy?

 

[Isak]

No, it won't I'm afraid. If you haven't set up a proxy yourself, then the file gets stored on an intermediate server, between you and the DyP server. Every time you click the link to download, the request isn't sent all the way to the DyP server, but only to the Proxy which checks if it already has the file stored, and gives you that instead. So if the version of the file the proxy stores is, corrupt, you'll go on getting a corrupt file every time.

There are several ways that an ISP could have you set up behind a proxy. If you're using a certain cable provider, then you should check your Internet Options (Internetindstillinger), under Connections (Forbindelser)|LAN Settings (LAN Forbindelser) and make sure there is not a checkmark in the "Use a proxyserver..." checkbox.

 

[Yoda Power]

jeez, could´nt you just send it to me, does´nt have to be tonight, im leaving my computer soon.

 

[Isak]

LOL - well, don't you want to learn?

I'll send it to you, but that's only going to help you if it is indeed a proxy problem, not if your compression tool is messing up.

learn, why learn when you can get other people to do your stuff. I pm´ed you my email.

 

[pdescobar]

Why would you want to learn something new when you will just have to "unlearn what you have learn" later?

Edit: Yoda, I understood what you had written and was in a sense agreeing with you and using your signature to back it up. Just being silly, is all. This is an edit to cut the spam slightly

The Mod is realy great!
There was always a lack of buildings in the civ's....

But now I must say that there are too much of them now althow I like it...

I saw the problev then I was'nt almost able to build my military( i build 2-3 units in each sity and afterwards all the buildings availibale and only then I go on war( I usually enters into a war only AFTER WHE DISCOVER OF the rail roads....)

So i see that now I must chanhe my tacticks becouse it was realy uncomfortable then some litlle countries atacked my and was able to capture some sityes...Offcourse I was able to destroy them but it took a lot of time( becouse my military sacked!),,...

bla bla bla....


It is a great mod!!
The computer however is a litlle bit weaker becouse it is not too much "used" too play in this ruels...But who cares about the comp after all!?

 

[Kal-el]

make sure to download the next release when it becomes available. We have made some adjustments and the AI has become a little tougher.

 

[Turner]

Yeah. . . stupid Russians. Keep declaring war on me. Then I have to give them gold when they come to my cities and get defeated. What's the point?

Looking forward to the new build. I know this isn't the place for it, but it's looking real good. . .
