AFAIK not. It's a one-shot python effect. Does not repeat.

Yes, Via Appia and Golden Spike are one-shot effects. They link up the cities you have at the time of completion.

Hi, few days ago I downloaded your mod. It´s really grate and you must be a very good modder. That´s why I would like to ask you how resources can be traded that are produced by a cooperation? I couldn´t find any blog. Thx for your help.

To see all buildings when they are built in a city:

Assets\XML\A_New_Dawn_GlobalDefines.xml, line 449. Change <iDefineIntVal>3</iDefineIntVal> to <iDefineIntVal>131</iDefineIntVal> to show all buildings. A value of 1 displays anything defined as a National or World Wonder, a value of 2 displays anything with city defense greater than 0, and a value of 128 displays everything else. 131 is 1+2+128. It's meant to save memory by not displaying all buildings.

I'm using rev. 1051 for the moment.

Have you removed the movement penalty for AI when moving through enemy territory? Because I noticed that AI can roam my roads as if they were their own during war with me and my units can still move only 1 tile per turn (for foot and two for mounted) even on flat terrain and paved roads on enemy territory. All enemy units, both foot and mounted can do it, they don't have any promotion enabling this and I haven't noticed any trait giving those civs such ability (Ragnar, Asoka and Shaka).

So - is it intentional? Because it's really not ok. Right now I'm under another attack from the Chinese (who declare war immediately after ceasefire ends, all the time) and in the first turn their cavalry is far into my empire thanks to our superb Roman railroads. And when I'm invading their country - same rules do not apply. It's quite unfair.

 

[IPEX-731BA5DD06]

Its a bug in the code they quite haven't quashed.

Something to do with Previously having open borders.

As a rule, I NEVER have open borders with another civ, until I control my entire continent (I play continents maps) Or if I do, I completely eliminate that civ from the map.

I've seen Barbarians with the same abilities, so??

That's my only suggestion.

No, it's not intentional. It might have to do with Open Borders like IPEX said. Did you have open borders with your aggressor? Also, until now I only had reports of using roads/railroads in the first turn of war. Do they still use your roads/railroads after the first turn of war?

Is there a "modern" Earth scenario compatible with AND2?
For modern I means something like WWI/WW2/Present time.

Unfortunately, no.

 

[Aquila SPQR]

Yes, I had open borders with them before, but it was long time ago and we had three wars since then with two 130 turn long truce between them (I expanded the truce lenght to 130 turns because AI is ruthless and declare wars immediately after it ends and I was tired of figting wars every few turns with the same enemy and I also like it that way because it makes signing peace a more important decision).

They also can use it without any penatlies during entire war. It's totally unlimited for them.

And I'm still onrev 1051, I'd like to finish my current game before upgrading to latest one, but in later patch info there's nothing about that problem.

No use upgrading to solve this problem, I didn't change anything lately. From your description it looks like open borders are still in place while they should not. Does it happen with a single civ or multiple civs? It never happened to me but as a shot in the dark, I might think that making peace treaties forcefully longer might have messed up things. Try a recalc, ctrl shift T and see if it helps.

 

[Aquila SPQR]

It happened with all civs I had war with - Vikings, Zulus, India and China. I also noticed that I still have an embassy (I can see tiles at their capital) even when at war (actually embassy disappear like it should - the option to establish them becomes available in diplo screen, but tiles stay revealed all the time, even when at war). And I only increased PEACE_TREATY_LENGHT to 30 (I forgot what's the basic value). This, together with my own eternity settings (it's 1815 AD and 2724th turn) gives me exactly 132 turns of ceasefire.

And I don't remember why exactly, but I recalculated because I did some minor changes to some xml file few days ago. It changed nothing, both before and after that the situation was still the same.

Well, it's not that it's a gamebreaking bug because it's still the best mod out there, but it'd be nice if I could fix it in my future games somehow.

Try a game without your modification and see if it helps.

 

[Aquila SPQR]

No way, my changes are essential I prefer playing mod with them and those bugs if they are related somehow than without them both.

What's the use of the Imperium civic? It only seems to make everyone unconditionally hate you without any tangible gain. Also is there some way to demand things from civs that dislike you? They do it to me all the time, but it's redded out with either "we'll never trade with you, our worst enemy" or "we just don't like you enough" before I can even put it on the table. I'd understand the relations malus from the civic if you could strong-arm the other civs, but the only thing they respond to seems to be a declaration of war. Do they all specifically want to die for the sake of a few horses/pigs/tea leaves?

Imperium comes into use for me when I've established trade with most of the nations in the game and I'm the most powerful civ. Basically, get everyone to like you enough to open trade. Once you have a huge number of foreign connections and a strong army, you can bully everyone else for some extra commerce. No one will risk going to war with you -- the most powerful nation on the planet. If they do, ensure it is the last mistake they ever make.

 

[Timekiller]

Well, see that's exactly my problem here: I can't bully anyone into anything. I can't even try. Despite having a vast army and a large empire, everything (from embassies and open borders (which is foreign trade afaik) to resources and tech) apart from gold is just redded out. It's one thing is the trade AI decides to say no; then that's all there's to it, but here it seems to be locked out for no particular reason. Or is this something happening only to me?

 

[Fozman]

I think I need to clarify more. Here are a couple of screenshots from one of my games to show you the tangible rewards from using this civic. Basically, it is only a transfer of commerce "points". You will not be able to force a civ to give up a resource in the diplomacy screen when they don't want to, but you can always take it by force on the battlefield if you want it. (i.e. Pay the iron price, not the gold price.)
