Heart of Destiny

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Well, sort of. The Industrial Age as defined in most games is the period from 1850 to the First world war(which starts the Atomic Age), and before that, was the so called Age of Reason or Enlightenment Age. Before that, was the Imperial Age, or Colonial Age, and before that, was the Age of Discovery(then the Renaissse etc.)

ive been playing through far horizons again as the ottomans this time and for some reason after i built the statue of zeus i never got a single ancient cavalry unit, thought that was a bit odd. something else that got me to thinking was that i started in the far north and i found it funny that i was putting out camel units when i was in the frozen north and not the dessert. ive looked through a few of the other mods for ideas and found that in RaR you get units like camel or elephant depending on where you are not who you are and i think thats a good idea. to make horse, elephant and camel as seperate resourses. that way only the counties with those resourses would build them. course there should probally be more elephant units than they put into RnR.

I never liked that about DyP. Even though I'm a fan of alternative history, Elephents in my mind strike images of Southeast Asia and India, or Carthage. And Camels likewise, are children of the Middle East. Its like giving Incans Hoplites or Romans Samurai.

You are playing Far Horizons? Why? That old piece of junk is obsolete... You can try the new mod, although its not bugfree and still in the beta..

PS: I got rid of the Statue of Zeus. The "Ancient Cavalry" was clearly Roman. So I made it Rome's Auxilla Cavalry.

So is anyone around? Tjedge? Greywolf? Coltrane?

Is anyone interested in this?

 

[lord_graywolfe]

im intrested in playing the new one sure

i like that because i dont play on the earth map im not reliving history im making my own and i usally start at one of the poles and just find it odd when the culture im playing uses elephants or camels in that environ.

oh i dont know if you changed it in the new one but in far horizons the ottoman unit that replaces the cavalry upgrades to tow infantry not dragoons.

another thing ive notcied in other mods that made sense was worker units upgrading. i mean think about it in the stone age they were using crude tools, and they improve through the ages untill today where we use heavy equipment instead of axes and shovels. so they should be able to do the same type of work faster. same with scouts but they arent much use in the modern era.

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Well, I thought of adding in an engineer unit or something. Currently Workers upgrade to Worker Drones with Nanotechlogy. The thing is, Workers are balanced with the power they have.

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

you need to have all the patches

 

[woodelf]

I'm interested. How big is the bugger? If it's >75megs I need to beg a friend with DSL. Smaller than that I can muddle through with my rural dial-up.

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

You will need DSL...

 

[lord_graywolfe]

i only saw the one beta patch listed with this. is there another i missed somewhere?

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

theres also a new pediaicons and a new biq

 

[lord_graywolfe]

im using the new big and the beta patch. i unzipped both in the senrios folder under conquests. ive reinstalled the whole game and mods and patches, i noticed that there is a pediaicons list in the beta patch is that the one your talking about, and still get that same error....dont know whats wrong. the link you gave me i saw the heart of destiny, a new big, beta patch and souix civ. if there is another pediaicons to install its not there.

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

What sort of error are you getting?

Try this:

 

[lord_graywolfe]

ok i tried that one. i installed it into the senerios folder along with the heart of destiny but got the same error as before. this is the same problem i had with TML, every other mod ive tried has worked fine.

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Did you put the mod in the right place?

 

[lord_graywolfe]

i installed in civ III/conquests/senerios

do i need to make a folder for heart of destiny in there?
