Historical Spawn Dates

those not listed spawn normally (4000 BC), for the others some dates are approximation, some are the recorded state creation.

 

1/

I don't remember if it's only in my development version (new release soon), but very close CS switch (the city is changed to a settler, but it's a 2 lines change in the code to make the city change owner), and close CS does not switch (some of their territory may be made free if it's too close of the spawn point) but the new player gain 60 influence points with them.

All barbarian units in a radius switch.

I plan something more complex in the dynamic history mod (unrest in the region before the date of spawn, that can be countered if you're controlling the sector has a human and will prevent the new civilization to spawn), but that's outside the scope of this component.

CS never spawn if they are closer than 4 tiles of any civ territory. (but they could spawn later in that territory during a war with cities razing, and I like that )

2/

Maybe caused by 1 unit embarking above another, could be related to the convoy bug (or not), I've experimented such crash in long game, but it's hard to track.

One of the reason R.E.D. WWII is kind of "on hold" ATM... I need to debug the DLL, but I think I'll switch to one version of it only. And as I suppose most civilization's players will use Brave New World, that's the version I will use when available. (bye bye compatibility )

Which also means I won't actively code on the actual DLL until BNW is released.

 

You're lucky, I already made (by error ) one build like that...

New version, more balance, I had a very good test game on the Large Europe map from YnAEMP


v.3 (May 12, 2013) :
- Use only civilization that have settled at least one city for balance calculations
- Add a "land culture" value for balance, given to the first city (it will grab new tiles faster the first turns)
- Add a "population" value for balance, given to the first city (food value in that city will be 75% filled to prevent immediate loss from starvation)
- Bugfix: don't fail at initialization when a civilization is not listed in the HSD table
- Use in game auto-turn function instead of custom function
- Add columns in Civilization_HistoricalSpawnDates table to set initial units for each civilizations and CS. (use fixed list if the table entry for units is empty)
- Give all techs that are known by all settled civilization when creating first city
- Add option (default ON) to balance per science points instead of free techs for the other known techs.
- Add option (default ON) to balance per culture points instead of free policies (free policies are OP for late spawn civilizations)

 

looks like an incompatibility with another mod, can you list them ?

(seems that the mod has not register than your civ was "awake" and call the initialization code every turn)

 

could you play 2 turns in game and post your lua.log after that ? (see how to enable logging )

 

Thanks !

What kind of free units do you get each turn ? (not the barbarians, the one around your starting position)

And how many of each ?

 

Ok, I'm going to test a quickfix and post it ASAP for testing. I see where the problem is, but I don't understand why it hasn't happened during my own tests... (and the 2 full games I have done with the mod)

 

I don't know, if a spawned civilization has tons of cities, then yes it was affected too (but as you're using revolution, the result may be... interesting)

OK, extract the HSD_Functions.lua file from the attached 7zip archive in your "\Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 5\MODS\Historical Spawn Dates (v 3)\Lua" folder, replacing the existing files and try again from the turn before your spawn. I'd like to see the resulting log again if possible (even if the problem was fixed)
