[MOD] Fall from Heaven

[Fr8Train]

YEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!

Also, is it just me or do others feel that, during a game, you build the same building more than once in a single city? I'm sure I have already built my market or training camp, only to have to build it again about 400-500 turns later? Anyone else getting that or is it just me?

I have noticed this as well. I don't know what caused it, and I couldn't prove it.

 

[drwulf88]

I had a quick question. My friends and I have recently found saboteurs and we can't attack them. Not even with themselves. What units can see and attack these guys?

 

[Lunargent]

Marksmen are about it. Saboteurs are supposed to reveal enemy Saboteurs, but I think it only works if they actually try to do something nearby.

This mod is amazing! Kael and team - Good job!

I played a monarch game with this version and won a religeous victory with octopus overlords which is the slowest spreading religeon in terms of its calculated spread rate. So I think they all have a chance.

that's because you are a human player. If it's not a human player to spread other religions, very, VERY hardly something that is not Fellowship or Runes will dominate.

i have played this MOd since the first avail release
and i must confess this is e very very well done job

thanks a lot to the creaters

 

[Kael]

To TheZerg and Starsun:

Thanks for the feedback. Its always good to hear, especially now while we are working through the long process of developing phase 2. I think you will be surprised at how much better even the relativly minor tweaks in 1.0 make the mod.

 

[PapaMonkey]

Thank you for making such an excellent mod. This is incredibly rich and captivating.

One question that if someone can help me will make my playing much more fun. I can start a game without any problems, but if I try to load a save game the next day, Civ4 crashes to desktop with a "graphics error". I am running a pretty good machine, and have had no graphics problems in vanilla Civ and have no graphics problems while playing: just loading a save game.

Anyone have any ideas?

I havent heard of this. Could you attach your save game and I will load it here and see if it the problem is in the save or something about your system.

Also could you provide a screenshot of the error?

 

[Forrister]

My game seems to crash after it is has been going for a few hours, or it crashes first turn after loading a saved game. I haven't figured it out yet, have some idea that perhaps running it on lower settings with a smaller world may improve matters - still experimenting. I have limited time to play so its important for me to save and come back to the game frequently when I get spare time.

Let em know if you can dupe this.

I am in my next game and exactly the same thing happens. I even produced a new galleon and the Ranger does not want to board it. Similarities to the old game are, Goblin race, Kilmorph religion and the Ranger was upgraded from a beginning scout (i do not have new rangers yet but i bet they cannot board either). I saved, cleared the cache and restarted the mod but that did not do anything.

(edit) Just converted to the leaves for the sheer kicks of it, did not do anything. i try if my patches are not at the latest version...

(2nd edit) Nope patch was the latest and reinstalling it and clearing/restarting did not do anything. If noone else does have this bug (and noone posted yet) it must be something with my local settings though.

• Open Civilization 4
• Open the mod
• Load save game

This happened to me once before. I think there is a bug with certain graphical objects in the game. I was never able to load it up back and get past that point

I found this. I rewrite th terrain impassable functions for 1.0 (so that terrain impassable truely allowed travel across all terrains, inlcuding water tiles). Rangers, Druids and Beastmasters used the impassable flag but i blocked their ability to travel over coast and ocean. Little did I think that this would keep them from boarding ships (who are of course sitting on ocean and coast tiles).

So to fix this in 1.0 i took away rangers, druids and beastmasters ability to cross peak tiles. I figure it better to have them boardable on ships than crossing peaks. I see if I can find a better solution in 2.0.

Thanks for the heads up Furin!

 

[PapaMonkey]

Thanks for the quick response. I hope to have a chance to get on my computer tonight and then I'll post my save-games. I am at work now, reading the forum and wishing I could be playing the mod. This kinda thing is really a sickness!

 

[Bloodington]

I've been thinking about some ideas for new wonders. I haven't really compiled a list worth posting yet but I did "borrow" one idea that I think would work well.

Based on the Sudocks wonder in the old warhammer mod it would be a port wonder that would do all or some combination of the following:

1. +50% trade income (on top of the harbor).
2. +2 trade routes for the city.
3. An extra hammer and gold piece on any worked water tile for the city.
4. +15% production time on naval units.
5. +2 or 3 exp for naval units produced in the city.
6. A free drydock for the city.
7. Would produce merchant great people points.


I personnaly think the first three would make for a worthwhile wonder for a coastal city, especially one with the seafaring trait.

 

[Nikis-Knight]

I'm playing on a map without mithril (I checked trade advisor), and I can still build Knights, but not spartis or marksmen.

Also, please check the great plains maps, and have it have some reagents and mithril--basic civ has them not appear there apparently (well, spices and silver, anyway.) but in FFH, they are strategic. I don't mind them being rare, but as is it cuts mages out of a GP game.

 

[Nikis-Knight]

heh... just to brag--but I had a 300+ exp berserker. Took out two enemy capitals.
...
Then got whacked by an assassain.

Anyway, ya'think assassains should have that same enraged promotion, that ups attack but lowers defense?

 

[Mr. Bojangles]

awsome mod

the only problem i found is that near the end of the game there are just too many techs that u can reaserch at once, and i found it hard to decide what improvement to build in my cities, since there were soo many, but anyway sweet mod

can't wait for phase 2

 

[PapaMonkey]

Thanks again for your assistance with this. As I said, I don't get this in vanilla Civ4 (but I no longer want to play that!). I have reduced my video settings to medium without effect.

The error message that is as follows:
Your system has run out of video memmory. Please try reducing
your video settings.
File:\main\civilization4.bak\SDKs\Gamebyro2_0\CoreLibs\NiDX9Renderer\NiDX9VBManager.cpp,Line:1018

The save file follows...
Not sure that uploaded. I can't see a verification here. If not, I'll try again...
