Mods or scenarios with dinosaurs

[timerover51]

At Blue Monkey, technically, this is a modification of TETurkhan's Test of Time, but it looks like adding Dinos does a bit more than I thought. Different players play the game differently. I have mainly played the British, the Vikings, a bit of the Incas (kept getting eaten by T-Rex), the Israelis (a lot), and a few times as the Spanish. For the rest, I have no idea as to what a player may or may not do. Hopefully, every one has fun.

Yes, that is correct, and he can do all sorts of good things, like speed up production of just about everything. That is something I found out in Test of Time for the Asian civilizations. Giving a unit not labeled as "Leader" the capabilities of a Leader makes the unit both buildable and capable of all sorts of things. When TETurkhan added the Asian Leaders he labeled them as "Leaders" which gets around the hard coding of "Leader' in Play the World. You can do the same thing in Conquests, but they can only hurry Wonders, and not other buildings and units.

You certainly will have more of a chance to find mods by Civ3 dinosaurs

Sadly (after more than 15 years...!) creation for civ3 has toned down very considerably.

Sadly, only two of the dinosaurs are in the dinobarbs mod. Next time I update one of my mods, i'll add dinosaurs in them somewhere. I am actually working on that now. Are there any mods out there that use the other dinosaur units that come with the game?

There are quite a few dinosaurs in TETurkhan's Test of Time scenario for Play the World. You can convert that to a Conquest .biq file and use the Dinosaurs with no problems. If you want to fully use them, you need to take the Wheeled flag off of the and convert them to foot units. I do have a lot of fun with them. If you want, I can post a Conquest file conversion here for you.

I have attached the Conquest file version of TETurkhan's Play the World Test of Time Scenario. Included in the zip file is also the resource pack that I have been using for the scenario. It is Pounder's Resource Pack as edited by Vuldacon with additional resources, like Mammoths, Potatoes, Olives and Olive Oil, and some other goodies. If you want to use the original Test of Time resources, just do not add the resource pack to the scenario. If you check the dinosaurs, you will discover that they are a lot more deadly that the ones in the original scenario, and they do rove around a bit. It is quite jarring the first time you see a T-Rex come calling.

Have fun, and let me know what you think of it.
