MasterJ, Gilgamesh, and Poukai, glad to see you got your problems fixed.
I think with these picture choices, it is really really really important to have a consistent style for all of them. That probably means they should all either be paintings/drawings OR photos. Not both. It also means they should all be taken through the Photoshop ringer.
I tend to agree. I am sure that we will have a unified art style eventually, especially as more people chip in to create it.
I know it wasn't part of CTP but have you ever considered adding a prehistoric age like a few other mods have done? It would be so epic to go from the prehistoric age all the way to the future ages.
I get this question alot lately. The answer is yes, but it is a low priority. Also, I kind of want the default start era to remain ancient, with the ability to choose a prehistoric start if you want. I will have to figure something out for that.
I see. What I was going for here was showing the forward progression of the colonies into a new independent government. I guess I missed the mark . And my first thoughts shifted to the civil rights movement when I saw Liberalism, but I didn't know if that was the look you wanted. I am glad it is.
Its fine, I just had more general thoughts in mind for them.
The Gov ideologies have to fit with most of the governments. Liberalism for instance won't be available under Fascism or Communism but will be available under monarchy and theocracy(and the rest).
there, but I know that many people would despise seeing them, myself included. Lol, it seems like some parts of this mod are getting into sensitive topics; this will probably help to make things seem more realistic.
Everything else I could think of was pretty controversial as well. I'll keep looking though. Maybe I will stumble upon something.
I am not against controversial imagery, but if there are better alternatives it would be counterproductive. If I make a WW2 scenario, you can bet Stalin, Hitler, and Mao are getting their faces in there. But most things allow for enough generality so that those kinds of things likely won't be necessary.
the CtD issue seems I can't get past the area around turn 170, I am guessing it is AI related. If I reopen the game I may get to turn 178 or 172 but somewhere in the turns b/t 169 and 179 something is happening to cause a CtD. I am not sure but I think it has something to do with conquering a City-State or war with City-State, but the CtD has occurred only on the turn when I received a Great Artist, maybe a correlation.
What version?
Weird that it happens in a range of turns rather than 1 single turn. Do you have random seed enabled?
They are 192x292 images, which is what the original policy DDS ones are. The theocracy one needs a bit better cleaning up on the edges thanks to sloppy eraserwork on my part.
I will do my best to find good images for the rest of the policies.
For republic, I would love a painting of a roman senator
For democracy, I want some painting in a greek forum
Fascism will probably be an army marching.
I like those 2 images and the ideas for the other 3.
A few notes on actual policy names:
Autocracy and Totalitarianism are redundant. Oligarchy should replace one.
Autocracy = Absolute power in 1 person.
Totalitarianism = Absolute control over every individual.
Saying they are redundant would be kind of like saying Fascism and Communism are redundant. Each has a specific thematic function.
If I added Oligarchy, then Aristocracy could be considered redundant as well as perhaps Plutocracy.
Also, having Oligarchy would mean too many soft dictatorship type systems. Autocracy and Totalitarianism are supposed to be the hard dictatorship systems.
Rename No State Religion to Antireligion
I kind of agree that we need some anti-religion policy types, but I am not sure that it goes in the religion box. We have No State Religion and Atheism. Both do kind of need to be open enough to allow for, lets say, peaceful coexistence with religion.
How about we replace "Organized" under the Religious ideologies with "Anti-Religion"? Since generally we can assume if you chose a religion of no state religion then you are already organized, then we can make room for the anti-religion crowd. So Soviet Russia would choose No-State, Atheism, and Anti-Religion which would essentially lock out the rest of the religion style policies.
Well the final piece of the multiple social panel problem has been solved, the pipes, i should hopefully therefore be sending a copy to D tomorrow evening so that it can be implemented into the mod, the policies created, more pictures added and reporting any small bugs that might crop up.
Picture of the pipe fix attached
Awesome! When you give me the pages mod I will publish the latest techs/buildings I have added and then begin work on the social pages. Lets hope I have many bursts of energy, cause this is going to be a lot of work.
