Long Winded Changes (LWC) Mod

An alternative however could be a 'field hospital' tile improvement, which would allow units to be healed in enemy territory, a la MASH :) That could be quite cool.

I agree kind of like the fortress, it would be really helpful. But maybe make it a little more general, like a "field base" or "base of operations" so you can repair machine units as well?

this is probably just wishful thinking, but does the lwc mod fix the air unit problems?

I noticed no one answered this so Ill just tell you, the answer is no it wont. No one can fix that im afraid but Fraxis, and from what I am hearing all over that the update (official) is comming out this weekend, and I would imagine that the air unit problems would be fixed in this update. :) Hopefully along with alot of other bugs? :confused:
 
Hey I also was thinking, and how bout as a resource or more a luxury you add Cocoa beans? :goodjob: You know to make chocolate, I mean everyone likes that, especially women heh.
I dont know just a thought, I do also agree beer might be a good one to. :D
 
Actually nuclear power plants dont need a river. Its cheaper and more convenient if they use a river for cooling but cooling towers work just as well. Cooling towers use regular city water for cooling.
 
Version 0.8 is now available! Check the first post for details!


It does a whole bunch of stuff, as you can clearly see from the changelog.
 
One issue I would like to adress is military unit vs population. I feel that military units should cost population. Look at the Soviet Union, its losses in WWII greatly affected its population size and post war growth. I am going to expriment with this idea. It would limit the size of computer armies and make army size and empire size relative.

Theres one problem with that, and that is that Worker (1 unit)units and Settlers already cost citizens (2 units for settler)armies also cost money to support. Making all of this almost impossible to play, not to mention the fact it would make it slow to expand the empire your building. Not to mention making it even SLOWER to progress on the Tech tree:eek:, so all in all it was a good thought but prolly not to fun for everyone.
 
having problem with .8....did the upgrade from .7 rather than the full download.

Keep getting a program fault....anyone else having this problem
 
I like the idea of units costing population but i think reducing it size by 1/2 or whatever in one shot is excessive. I think a better way to cap population while not adversly affecting it is having units cost Food in Storage. By doing this you can induce starvation if you produce to many units or merly halt growth by rationed production. Of course you could always increase your food production but this will effect your shield production so everything is balanced :) in theory.

Now it works! Tried it with MS Explorer... not working with Netscape!!!
 
I am looking for a zip file with everything, it is not on the main page.... I dont like auto-installer executibles... I want to see the files that are being put onto my HD and where...

I think thats a tall order to be asking for, I think you need to try and get ahold of Plutarck by email and perhaps ask? Asking on the boards might be pointless, considering its no one elses project but his. :king: By the way you sound like you have a phobia with executables :lol:
 
no, no phobia with .exe... but it would be helpful if I knew how he was modding the game I bought... without having to search thru it all..

In fact.. the .exe that he has released is in .zip form (partially...) and I have looked at it... but I didnt even see the .bic file...

I just like a little more control... especially when it comes to executing a file... that I do not know the person or company it came from... for all any of us know... it could be a nasty virus and he could shut his page down... and you would never know what hit you...

phobia... no... just extra careful...

Well to tell you the truth I haven't gotten a chance to try out your mod yet Plutarck but it looks very nice. One thing I'd love to see are maps such as The World Map, Europe, or others included with your mod. I have these maps but unfortunalty they wont work with your mod and I cna't edit them to do so. If I ever find the patience I may make one myself but until that time comes, you feel like making us all any? For some reason I relaly enjoy playing on a replica of Earth.

No matter, i'm sure i'll have some thoughts on your mod (as I always have something I think can make it better) but until then I have to say your mod looks like it is a miracle in disguise which can give you the powers of all the heavens and dieties alike, plus it can make toast. Mmmmm buttery jelly topped toaaastttt.

:lol: I think I would call that a bit of a phobia. I mean come on I dont think he would ever try that, let alone shut the page down. I think you've either been mislead in your past or you mislead others which makes you think everyone might? I mean you never know right? :lol: So come on Lordroy i think your being a tad to suspicious. Not to mention your only one person wanting it zipped, and about 99.999% like it as an exe since it takes about only 2 minutes to install. I hate to break it to you but he isnt a major company so he doesnt need to make it your way cause you dont feel safe with it. I mean the files already 23 MBs as its and I doubt his server would like another one up just cause you ask for it. Basically if you dont like it or trust it then dont download it and stop complaining. ;)
 
While I'm mostly better with sickness, unfortunately I'm half-asleep as I right this.

But the only thing I've managed to think is the problem is with the Civilopedia, so I'm uploading a fixed version.

There "shouldn't" have been a problem with it, but the problem seems to be that Civ3 deals with wonders in a non-uniform way as compared to other types of entrys.


I didn't do as much testing as I should have, clearly, but I made the crazy assumption that just adding buildings wouldn't cause any trouble. After all, I've done it all before in the same way...LOL

Though it was also because I had just gotten board with the game/mod as a whole that day and wanted to spur on some more advancement.


This will probably be the last update before the patch, as I may end up having to "remake" the mod entirely.

No use spending too much time and effort on it as that is the case, anyway, and everyone will be busy messing around with the patch for the first few days anyhow :)


But this should hopefully fix many of the problems. Just put it in your Civilization III/Text directory and overwrite what's there.


Will deal with other posts whenever I actually wake up.


[EDIT] Patch is available from website. Just get that...[/EDIT]

Actually, it is not a phobia... according to THIS WEBPAGE and dictionary.com, a phobia is:

*********************

pho·bi·a (fb-)
n.
1. A persistent, abnormal, and irrational fear of a specific thing or situation that compels one to avoid it, despite the awareness and reassurance that it is not dangerous.
2. A strong fear, dislike, or aversion.

*********************

I, probably like most people here, am a computer geek. I work at an internet call center, fixing other people's problems. One of the main problems that I see is when someone installs a patch to a program and, without knowing what it does, tries to "fix" it... well that never works as both you and I know...

Oh, and that he is not a major company means that he can just up a quit working on this, if he wanted... and lets just say he was a "freaker" or "hacker" or whatever else you want to call them these days... wanted to screw all of us and put some sub7 virus in it... therefor being able to then control and use our computers from his computer...

Now before I go off on some tangents... I am not saying Plutarck is any of these things... all I was asking was a zip file with all of the files/where they are supposed to go and what they do... take his .exe for example. Rename it to a .zip and then open it... there are some weird java installer stuff in there that I have no idea does... and coming from a game player, I would want to know where and what is installed to my pristine machine, that I built.

I have checked out the readme and I have incorperated some of the things that he has put into his mod into my mod, but I was wondering what else he did, and how he did it, so I asked, not once, but twice if he could make a zip file and put it where I could d/l it..

oh... and the reason most people like executible files... is that they are lazy and dont want to do the work themselves... or dont know how to...

My request is neither ABNORMAL nor IRRATIONAL, therefor my fear (if you must call it that) is not considered a PHOBIA...
