Yea I been busy. School, work, and I was playing Medieval 2 total war. Good game by the way. I liked the different units that were included. Mamluk cavalry, russian cavalry(druiz...), bedioun, etc. Then for the last couple of weeks I have been playing the latest version includes many new units and features. I have to say this mod has come a very long way. Over a year already in the making.
Well anyway, a week ago I seen that a new expansion was to be released. Its great that you are converting.
I was not aware that memory allocation errors and other such things was becoming a huge issue. I was reading on tech support on this forum and was reading up on this. I have experienced these failures and extreme delays in turns before. That is why I dont play the actual world map for this game. I seem to have save games be as large as 1700kbs(or something like that-i am a computer novice
).
That was the reason I always supported the idea of having different maps. I.E. map of Europe, Americas, etc..(something along those lines) to get by. INorder to speed the game up and aviod different failures I would shut down barbarians, lower graphic settings to lowest, Shut off effects and set everything to single graphical unit. I hated doing this but I wanted to play various huge maps and even bigger maps like 180 x 120.. I find that the realism world map is not as big for the many civs that are in the game.
Well this is a big letdown that the requirements will go up. In civ 3 maps were generally larger(huge in that game was larger then 120X 8) and in civ 4 they haven gotten smaller. This hurts gameplay bigtime.
I look forward to the eventual release of this mod on the new expansion pack. Vanilla Civ just isnt the same without this mod.
In Real life, how they could force modders to stop the project? No possible!
