[MOD] Sevo's CivFanatics Fusion 2.0

Good Sauce said:
I'll do so as soon as 3.0 hits. however, we're still imited to only 18 civs per map. who gets the cut? what is a good size to fit everyone in, w/o being too big?
also, we're limited to one leader, what leader do you all prefer for certain civs?

ehm, well, leaders are not that important, considering every country has many important people. but 18 is enough for a map. I'd say make a large map, standard might be just too small, and bigger then large may cost to much system resources on some pc's...make sure to use not to many countries in europe. I recon the importance the european culture did to for modern world, therefore it will be not accurate to leave many countries out. But I'd say France/Germany/England/Italy/Russia are, and have been, the dominating military powers in europe. So max EU to 5! I'd leave England out anyway since starting on an tiny island is not a good start for civ. so, that'l be 4EU countries left. Russia needs Stalin as leader!! :) he is the most well known russian leader, germany needs adolf hitler, Italy needs mussolini, and france napoleon of course..unfortunatly some those leaders are not available :)) I'd love to have adolf in the game and smash him his face with full forces!!! :) but i guess the leadermodders don't give me that pleasure :)
as for the other countries, choose them spread across the globe, USA is a dominating country, Brazil, China, Japan, Australia, India, South Afrika, Korea, Iran, Egypt, Mexico..and then just fill the empty spaces up with something! :)
 
Hey sevo, cant wait for the release! How many civs will you include? I guess all the civs in Gold, but are you going to add some more?
 
I posted this in the C&C general forum too, but as I love THIS mod, I figured I would post it here as well to see if there was any other interest, etc...

I am not a modder, so I have no clue if this is even possible, but this idea occurred to me one night at around 2AM as I was stumbling around the house...

It always bugs me how much it costs to upgrade your units - especially if you have a whole bunch of them. It makes sense on some levels, but not on others. So say I have a bunch of old spearmen lying around, and for whatever reasons, they haven't been upgraded yet. I can now upgrade them to infantry, but I have to play an absurd number of turns in order to get the money to "re-oufit" these spearmen and train them to be infantry.

OR

I can just recruit new infantrymen (IOW, build new ones) in probably ¼ of the time it would take to get the money to buy the upgrades.

So my thought for a mod is this. Instead of buying upgrades, you build them. I don't know how much this would cost in comparison to building a new one, but it should be less, you are not recruiting new people, you are re-training old ones. So you throw the upgrade into the build que, and at the end of the cycle, you get one of your units upgraded (a specific one preferably).

Like I said, I don't know if it is even possible, and it may even be a horrible idea, but despite waiting a day it still sounds like a good idea to me. I probably didn't explain it very well though, so hopefully someone reading this understands the reasons here and can better elucidate the idea and/or implement it.
 
Yeah there needs to be something done to fix the upgrade problem. I finally just quit upgrading because I couldn't afford it and by the time I raised the money I would be on the next unit, making it EVEN more expensive!
 
I find dropping science slider to zero for one or 2 turns lets me upgrade all the units i want keeping all those lovely promos.Just remember to change it back .As for part exing old units didn't civ3 give you a few shields for disbanding a unit in a city?
 
Is watching that progress report going to make it go slower? Cause if it is, I'm afraid I've already delayed 3.0 by about a week ;P

Gogo Sevo!
 
well... screens of the civs of your mod????

[...] germany needs adolf hitler [...]
sorry, but i think that's kind of... stupid! (dont want to see him in a "normal" civ game - only in a ww2 scenario)
speaking of stupid? insulting people for their opinion? no further comment.

Hitler should not be glorified in any way. To say that having him in a mod is stupid isn't insulting, it's the truth, and anyone who does think so is naive at best, a fool at worst.

History has a short memory. Generations weep only for their own.
 
But to deny that he played a major part in history is also foolish. To learn from our mistakes we must remember them. Stalin was just as ruthless a killer, he didn't target set groups to the degree like Hitler though.

I can see him being in a Mod if that Mod has to do with WWII or something of the like. Say a good v. evil set up.
 
TBH I think you will find most "Great Leaders" were murdering bastards I can't really see why Hitler should not be included trying to pretend he didn't exist will make things worse in the long run.The far right Nazi parties actually try to say the Holocaust did not happen not putting Hitler in the game is much the same thing I feel.

Gogo Sevo!

You and me both! But whats up with sevo, havent seen a post from him in ages? I fear all the work on civ4 stuff has broken him. I imagine he sits up in the highest tower of a lonely castel with a pc working 24/7:crazyeye: ... Snap out of it sevo! Alas... i fear its too late for him.. :eek:

Aaanyway, crackpot or not, still cant wait for 3.0:king:

What is sad/amazing (depending on how you look at it) is that I am WAY more excited for SevoMod 3.0 than the Warlords or the theroetical patch. I guess at least Sevo gives us a timeline. Sevo should be the one making $50 a pop and Fraxis should be giving their stuff out for free!

Thanks a lot Sevo. That time line is killer. At least we can see progress, even if it does make it harder to wait!

Actually, it's a dungeon, not a tower. I find the humidity is better for my skin.

And yes, I just saw that groovy new Norseman, and he will indeed be making an appearance in the new mod. Also being added: F117, A-10 Thunderbolt II, Mi-26...

I'm getting there guys...really! I know a lot of you are looking forward to this release.
