can you in the future upload the zip to something more open and doesn't require a login, like Google Drive? thanks

Dropbox doesn't require a log-in or account, but sometimes it does have a log-in screen that pops up in front of the download button. There should be an "X" in the upper right corner of this pop-up that can be used to close it, and then you can proceed to download without logging in.

I'm not able to play it while using it in the scenarios, when I tried hotset it said something about the map limit.

To play it in hotseat/multiplayer, you will also need to be using the mod YnAEMP - Remove Multiplayer Limit. This is because the game normally has a cap of the number of civs that can be present in multiplayer, and so you need the mod to remove the cap so you can play this scenario.

Excellent and fun scenario, you've really put effort into this. I really like how diplomacy has been set to work here, it's really immersive and satisfying to toy around with global politics. Many leader agendas have made me laugh and link screenshots around, some good satire going on here.

Very polished for being released just last month. Haven't noticed any game breaking bugs, though I've only got around 8 hours in with Russia and US. I loved your Earth 2015 back in Civ5 and was really happy to find this scenario for 2018. I'll report balance issues and bugs if I find any.

Edit: Oh yeah and could we please get a Helsinki/Finland city state?

 

[luigilime]

love this scenario, but if i may, i would suggest a new color scheme for italy, i propose either green writing and white background or the venetian civ 5 color scheme

Glad to hear you're enjoying it, and please do let me know if you find any issues, as it would be impossible for me to catch all bug and balance issues on my own. As for Finland, unfortunately there is a limit to how many civs+city states you can have on a map, and I've already reached that limit, so I can't add any more city states. When I make the giant map version of this I will add Helsinki as a city, but it will have to be part of the Sweden city state (Sorry!).

I've gotten another request for a color scheme change to Italy on the Steam page as well, and I do agree that it's not the best scheme. I'll try Green/White and see how that looks, and if I like it I'll include it in the next update.

Hi Barbarian King! I loved both earth 2014 and Earth 2010 - have played over 400 hours of both mods over the years! - Great to see Earth 2018.

I wanted to ask if this is compatible with the Civ 6 iPad game?

Also, Something to consider - the modern game spy looks like a medieval spy. Perhaps it is worth changing the look of this to a modern spy - to make the late game "proxy war" element more in realistic?

LOVE THIS. any chance you could make unique air units for US (f-16, f-18, f-22, f-35), Russia, China, etc.? My world is blown! you rule

Why there are barbarians on Antarctica in 2018?

 

[Chamo RTS]

When I start a campaign, I close it, Help Please.

 

[RoastingHippy]

Thanks for this mod, I enjoy it.

 

[chrisgatt7]

Ever plan on updating it ? So maybe mods like mora units and warfare expanded will work with it ?

 

[lordofcivs]

Wow! Haven't started playing it yet, but the description and screenshots has made it very exciting. It's clear that too much effort has been put. Well done! And thanks a lot.

The border between the United States and Mexico is off... Give that one city to America. It will make the shape of them look way more accurate. Also please update for 2019 and gathering storm
