Modern Earth (Giant)

[constantinople]

I'll be looking forward for this...err, if it comes out.

Working on Religions and then need to complete the extra 300 cities from my first build and add buildings.

how s it going the giant map scenario?

 

[kiwitt]

Slowly

Any persons genuinely interested in progress can PM me to become part of the Alpha Testing phase.

does more ram decrease turn times because with these huge mods/scenarios turn times are like 1min+ if not is there anyway to decrease them?

 

[kiwitt]

What I have found the first initial 5-10 turns are longer, but as the AI settles down it becomes faster. And yes having a 64-bit OS and 6+ GB of RAM will make a difference.

 

[civcivcivcivciv]

do you have any plan about release date?

 

[kiwitt]

I prefer not to have release dates as that would put too much pressure on me, and I will then make to many compromises.

Working on corporations now.

As I was working through the corporations and got up to BP, I decided that it will be best to give every nation that has a refinery to have access to oil. However in most cases destruction of the oil well or oil rig will cut off the access to oil in times of war.

Its seems unrealistic that most modern nations do not have access to oil during peacetime. In addition, these oil bonuses act as "oil reserves" that nations already have.

i think if you add bombard mod then it ll be more realistic.
can attack from MLRS

The problem is -- they have to buy the Oil in real life. How you think all those desert contries got so rich? By selling it. In Minor League I am paying 193 gold to Iraq -- not bad for the nation at the bottom of score table. The problem with corporations is that when Arabia has one Oil company it stops selling Oil, while it has to be the opposite!

Perhaps presentce of Corporation should allow you to buy or sell Oil? That would be cool, but how to implement it?

I may look at that in the Beta stage

how about 2 or 3 countries can be united? in permanent alliance?

only one country is not enough.

in the next mod)) germany, france, EU -- one team with a permanent alliance.

usa, canada, mexico -- one team.

china, korea, japan -- one team.

like this. lol

how do you think?

Those arrangements are good in PBEM games only. The host of the game can do it himself as he sets up the game. There is no need to have it as a default starting situation.

I kind of agree with the EU-Germany-France(-UK?) one but mainly with Tigranes. The problem is they would be #1 on the scoreboard.

I disagree on the other alliances. And which Korea are you referring to?

I personally believe permanent alliances should be enabled but not enacted at the start of the game.
