ModCast Episode 79: "Ball of Twine and Duct Tape"

[DanQ]

Holding. The seventy-ninth episode, and tenth season premiere, of ModCast entitled "Ball of Twine and Duct Tape", is now netcasting. Lead co-host Rob "Rob (R8XFT)" Riley is joined by fellow regular co-hosts John "Neirai" den Otter and Lee "LeeS" Shipp with first-time guest "p0kiehl" in this 45m09s outing.

The summary of topics is as follows:

- 02m19s | Miscellaneous
The state of modding with Civilization VI post Rise and Fall expansion pack as compared to CivV and its first expansion, Gods & Kings preceeds thanks and wishes for CivVI modding editing tools (11m38s).
- 16m37s | Modding Spotlight
Evolution and reflections on "Religion Expanded", "Ancient Egyptian Pantheons" and "Vibrant Waters" amongst others for Civilization VI.
- 26m39s | Cartography Room
Works of Natural Wonders, notably "Sukritact's Great Blue Hole" and "Terra Mirabilis" by Deliverator and Chimpan'G, highlights what it brings to CivVI and what there isn't for CivV, followed by the constitution of "Sukritact's Vercingetorix (Gaul)" civilization (36m07s).

ModCast is the first spin-off of the Civ strategy-centric PolyCast; fellow sibling TurnCast focuses on Civ multiplay.

Dan, it's "Deliverator"

 

[Deliverator]

Good show guys! Thanks for featuring Terra Mirabilis. We have another 4 Natural Wonders in the works so keep an eye out for those.

(Deliberator works too. I have been known to deliberate.)

Who put that "b" beside the "v" on the keyboard anyway?

Fixed -- appreciate the heads-up.

Good show guys!

Glad you enjoyed the listen.

@Neirai For the record the TM_UserSettings.sql can be used to turn down the number of Natural Wonders in Terra Mirabilis:

-----------------------------------------------
-- SECTION B
-- Amount of Natural Wonders In Game (by map size)
-- Game Defaults below. We've tripled them on every map size.
-- NOTE: This does not guarantee you will see X number of wonders in the game. This will be due to map script placement. Consider this more of a maximum value.
-----------------------------------------------
('WONDERS_DUEL', 'NW_MAP_SIZE', 6), -- Game Default 2
('WONDERS_TINY', 'NW_MAP_SIZE', 9), -- Game Default 3
('WONDERS_SMALL', 'NW_MAP_SIZE', 12), -- Game Default 4
('WONDERS_STANDARD', 'NW_MAP_SIZE', 15), -- Game Default 5
('WONDERS_LARGE', 'NW_MAP_SIZE', 18), -- Game Default 6
('WONDERS_HUGE', 'NW_MAP_SIZE', 21), -- Game Default 7
-- Gedemon's YNAMP
('WONDERS_ENORMOUS', 'NW_MAP_SIZE', 24), -- Default 8
('WONDERS_GIANT', 'NW_MAP_SIZE', 36), -- Default 12
('WONDERS_LUDICROUS', 'NW_MAP_SIZE', 48), -- Default 16
