So right now, I have most of the patch related issues taken care of(I think). The only thing that is holding me back right now is that one of my 3-4 Text Files is broken(the biggest one -_-).
Once I find a fix for it and do a few other minor modifications, I can release the updated version.
Was curious on the building screen when it shows the new buildings we can make, do you think there is anyway that if we highlight the name of, lets say small gold shop, that it could tell us if we have one already and in which city? Its not that bad when we have 4 or 5 cities, but if we start expanding and get 10, 15, or 20, its going to be real hard remembering what is where. Or perhaps you might come up with something better. Or perhaps at the top where we have the resources, have another spot that would list the number of those special shops we have...that would also be real helpful i think, not sure if it could list the city, but what the heck.
I like the idea. If I could get someone to create a new UI system that would look into the city for designated important buildings and display those on mouse-over of the city, that would be awesome.
Perhaps another, or additional part to that would be an ability to go into the city screen and sort by cities with the most important buildings(distinguishing between wonders and monopoly and unit producing) and/or little icons on the cities that have certain buildings.
Also, now that im into it, im digging all the new buildings. Lots of fun making them and then finding more of a resource to make an EVEN BIGGER BUILDING!! MUWAHAHAHAH, my plans of dominating the alligator trade are now almost complete....ahem...sorry about that, let me just put my maniacal alter ego back in that dark pit...there...all safe now!
That is kind of how it felt in CtP too.
You look over at your neighbor thinking "Mmmm, he has my 4th Ruby... GIVE ME!!!".
anyway to add no anarchy for gov changes while in a golden age?
No easy way, but if I see someone create this ability I might snatch it up.
I guess it may be more prudent to just wait to see how it turns out, but with government policies giving up to 20% in any one area, I don't see how a 10% GA will be that benefitial. I may be wrong, but I forsee that having to be raised and/or other benefits lessened.
Few bonuses add up to 40% total. 20% to one stat is less than 10% to 4 stats.
If it isn't noticeable enough, I can up it to 15 or 20% each of course.
From what I remember only the graphics dissappear; the resource and the alligator icon are still present. The only thing is that the hex looks like an unimproved hex. Speaking of resources, did you say somewhere you were going to balance the yields? Right now, some of them offer base yields for the resource, instead of the bonus that other resources garner.
Could be a result of having non-standard improvements on those graphics... not sure what I want to do about that yet. Can you see if it only applies to those mismatches?
And in a similar vein, can you add the ability to delete the new buildings; often I have built a first tier building in a city when I could have started the monopoly somewhere else, and have had no way to get it back.
They added this to Vanilla a couple patches ago.
And on that policy that gives 4 happiness for each luxury, could you change it to +.5/.25 for each different strategic? This will drastically lessen the burden of happiness in the early game. If you give the ai a high flavor for this policy, it would help them out too with expansions and such.
I changed it to +1 monument culture/+3 castle culture.
Settler cost increase combined with the happiness per pop returning to 1.0 should help out with the happiness issues. I will tweak more as needed.
Runtime errors, anyone else having them?
I have tried playing two games with this latest version. Each time the next day I go to load the game to play, it starts and the load hangs and then a popup comes up saying runtime error and the saved game will not load.
I have only this version of the mod loaded and no other mods are loaded.
Also, on the second game, I was attacked by the AI and the best attack I have ever seen the AI do. It needed more coordination and combined arms, thank heavens it did not. I was attacked by successive wave on a front and the AI sent troops by sea and supporting ships on a flank attack by sea. I was impressed.
The AI seems more aggressive with this version. I like it.
Which CtP update did the runtime occur with?
And I wish I could take credit for the AI, but I can't.
But it does have it's moments, sometimes.
For the corn Well its a minor flickering on the farm house.. maybe its just my pc...anyone else have that minor flickering...?
The alligator hex improvements and resource dissapers but improments and icon stay..
Yeah, might be resource/improvement graphic conflicts...
I was wondering...Is there a prog i should be running at the same time as im playing to identify code base errors or ect? If so, it could be good to make notice of it, and tell us. I know for a fact that re or encoding a game can be a bi*ch. Though playing for testing is even longer but nesessary, if there are other means let us know.. doing so would greatly help progress in the mod...
For the patches i am unaware..i only dl when Decimatus lets out a release i had no runtime errors..though a few video gliches and ctd's in renaisence..thought the game itself is a ram warmongering game..Plus the original has a few bugs of its own, and have released a recent update.
Firetuner is part of the SDK, and if you know what you are looking for could possibly help out. I don't know a whole lot about it though, and generally only use it for specific things such during the resource generator integration.
and new section in the tech tree is illegible ;/ How usage the traditional tree technology?
