Forbidden Palace

[chaucer]

Is there a way to edit in multiple FP's. It seem that these things only work well on Pangea maps. If you have multiple continents the best you can do is conquer two of them. Put your palace on the center of one and your FP on the center of the other. If you go to invade a third you are screwed. Or, if you are forced into a war late on a pangea map and you have already built your FP to work for your empire layout you cannot move your palace to the new lands, you would screw your core cities.
Someone here created a mod or were creating a mod that gave several FP's how did you edit for that?

Can't help you except to say 'try posting in the Customization forum'.

Someone posted that they were working on a Provincial Capitol building. They were planning to set it to reduce corruption. But, that would have no more effect than building a second temple.

I don't know if they built the mod or not.

Chaucer,

I highly recommend Dreifels "Final Solution to Corruption by Distance" mod - available for downloading in the Completed Modpacks section of the Civ3 forum.

IMHO, it's brilliant - it does exactly what you suggested, ie. you are allowed to build multiple Forbidden Palaces (in the mod they are called "State Palasts"; Dreifels is Swedish I think). There are up to 5 State Palasts available plus the original Forbidden Palace. He's also made them much cheaper than the FP, so those 1-shield suckland cities on the edge of your empire, or on different continents, can afford to build them reasonably quickly. Of course, it's up to you if you build these State Palasts or not, depending on how hard you want the game to be. I like being given the choice.

He's also done something to curtail the AI's ability to spread like wildfire all over the map. Expect to see the stupid AI still trying to establish "annoyance" towns on tundra or desert squares only to have them collapse and disappear next turn. I love it.

You can also just download the Civ3 Copy Tool, and add in copies of the Forbidden Palace yourself.

The only thing is you'll probably have to go to the editor and change their name so they're all named something different. I'm not sure if Civ3 handles small wonders with the same name well. At least Iprefer giving them different names.
