Nooby Question

[Lrd Dread]

Is there a way in Civ 5 to make the advance game setup permenent?

I like playing with no barbarians, etc without having to go in each time and select this.

unless someone makes a mod, no.

we're hoping for G&K... if it doesn't happen, angry mobs will probably burn down the Firaxis HQs.

You'll see a thread about this every few weeks for a reason. It seriously needs to happen.

I personally also think we need a map regen button (reloads with current settings, new tiles).

I will be MOST disappointed if we don't see this.

Search for the file CIV5GameOptions and open it. Find the options you want to change. For example:

<Row>
<Type>GAMEOPTION_RAGING_BARBARIANS</Type>
<Description>TXT_KEY_GAME_OPTION_RAGING_BARBARIANS</Description>
<Help>TXT_KEY_GAME_OPTION_RAGING_BARBARIANS_HELP</Help>
</Row>

After the help line, add <Default>true</Default>. So it would look like this:


<Row>
<Type>GAMEOPTION_RAGING_BARBARIANS</Type>
<Description>TXT_KEY_GAME_OPTION_RAGING_BARBARIANS</Description>
<Help>TXT_KEY_GAME_OPTION_RAGING_BARBARIANS_HELP</Help>
<Default>true</Default>
</Row>

Any option you do that on will always be on even if you don't go into the advanced game setup.

That however gets lost when a patch is delivered. And you want the last settings saved most of the time, not the very same all the time (except maybe promotion saving and quick combat).

thanks... I will do that

Yes it gets lost when a patch is downloaded but it's easy enough to go in and change it again. And while it would be better to save the last settings, we don't have that right now. Some people may want to play with the same settings all the time and this will do that for them until they patch the game to accomodate other options.
