[MOD] Fall from Heaven

[Dragonlord]

If push comes to shove I won't patch the main game if it means I can't play v0.6 of this one.

Exactly...

Has anyone tried it yet? Or is everyone waiting for someone else to first?

 

[woodelf]

I'm at work so I have an excuse! I'm sure I'll d/l the patch, but won't install it until necessary. By the looks it affected a ton of files, but maybe they aren't all the same as what Kael has modified? No idea.

So am I ...

I'm still hoping for some brave hero to guinea-pig this for me, though... anyone have any idea when Kael will be posting the 0.60?

 

[woodelf]

Hopefully he isn't at work (like us) and is diligently perfectly our X-mas present.

Actually it's not quite "anywhere in your territory". The rule is as follows:

A unit can be upgraded if:
1) There's an upgrade available for it (researched)
2) It is within your territory (possibly allies as well, havn't checked)
3) Your nearest city to the unit has the appropriate resource hooked up, either directly or through the trade net


I discovered that third rule by accident one game - the Greeks dropped a city too close to me and one of my uber-culture cities pushed the borders directly adjacent to the Greek city. When I moved my attacking force up to the city, they all had their upgrades available. As soon as I took that city in the next war, the units that were on the old border were suddenly unable to upgrade - because the Greek city was now the closest city and wasn't hooked into my trade net.

Ahhhhh.... Cool, well I'm okay with that.

Very important question:

Does your Mod, and especially your upcoming 0.60 build, work with the new patch 152 that Firaxis has released today?

Has anyone tried this yet?

I'm hoping to DL the 0.60 first thing after work this evening (hint,hint) and the Firaxis patch as well - I'd hate for this Mod not to work anymore and maybe rather wait with the Firaxis patch if necessary.

I am going to test it this morning, we will see.

Let's hope all goes well.

 

[loki1232]

Oh i hope you release it soon i'm going on vacation in a couple hours and want to try it.

 

[Grimaldi]

For everybody who like to end a running game mit FFH 0,5 and Civ 4 1.09
do not download the patch.

You will get lots of XML errors and a memory read crash to desktop.

Because I finished my game so I tested it, along with nearly every mod this one isn't running any more.

EDIT: It might help ... lots of the XML errors comes from the new added game speed option

- new Added Marathon game speed (longer than Epic)

My biggest question is what does Fellowship of Leaves do?
Octopus and Veil are evil and get demons
Order and Runes are good and get disciples

What does fellowship get?

 

[Kael]

Yeah, it definitly breaks 0.50. It broke 0.60 too, but I have it fixed and running with the patch now. I'm starting my playtest game now.

Because of the changes from the patch 0.60 will require the patch to be able to play. They've added new global defines and I can eather build my global defines file to use the ones from 1.09 or the ones from 1.52 but not both (grrrr).

 

[Nadin Bytefelt]

I am going to test it this morning, we will see.

Mebe can Exavier help you, his make the "Composite Mod
by Exavier" compatabil whit Patch v1.52.

[thearkane]

Hopefully they get kick butt elven units, but truthfully...I don't know.

The design doc calls for a progression from good to evil as follows:

The Order -> Runes of Kilmorph -> Fellowship of Leaves -> Octopus Overlords -> The Ashen Veil

Where the farther away 2 relgions are form each other the worse the animosity. Therefor the biggest advantage of the Fellowship is that it is able to best deal with all religions. They are the "neutral" religion. But you can pretty much garuntee fighting between countries dedicated to the Order and the Ashen Veil.

Thats all design talk, that functionaltiy isn't in the game yet.

Allright... I'll hold off on DL the patch then until 0.60 arrives... any idea yet when we can unpack our XMas goodie, Kael?

Im playing through it right now. Assuming I don't find any game stopping bugs I will polish anything that stuck out to me while playing and package it for release (the actual mod is 154 meg on my computer but I go through and clean it up before releasing). So it shouldn't be to long. I gotta run some errands and I want to get this out before I do.

 

[kamimage]

this is the best civ mod ever.

Please hurry Kael, I too will soon be leaving for the Christmas weekend and I would love to give this a try. I can't try 0.5 because I also downloaded the new patch. I think it is so cool for you to create a Mod for all of us fantasy freeks. I was already a little tired of the release game. You should submit this Mod to PC Gamer, they have a Mod section every month in their magazine. Thank-you very much in advance for version 0.60!!!!!!
