Hello,
I love this game! Well done to those who work on it!

Any news on the Dynamic civ names yet?
and when they are finished will I be able to customise the names on my own game? I only ask as I am a big fan of having Dynamic civ names in the language of the civ; L'Empire Francais instead of The French Empire etc.

Is this just me?

Yes, you will be able to do this. Just edit the XML files. Also, unlike before, the dynamic names in the xml won't be numbered but will be relatively self-explanatory, like TXT_KEY_CIV_EGYPT_FRANCE_VASSAL for Egypt as vassal of France. This'll make your life easier

As we are discussing about dynamic civs name..
To prevent a double-work someday in the future..
Please somebody broke the generic vassal name for some civs..

Because,
All new civilization we are adding will use the generic vassal name..
If its not broken and we keep adding new civilization as we progress..
We might see in the scoreboard dominated with names start as "Protectorate of ..."

Yes, I am doing precisely this, which is in part responsible for the delay because I'm making quite a few situation dependent names, vassal and otherwise.

Linkman, any word on the next update?

vikings can't build settlers in Britain (or Iceland), but can build in rome and Athens ... que? ... makes no sense

I'm thinking December. Maybe November if Thanksgiving break proves itself productive. Sorry

I'll make an exception for them. Thanks.

thank you again for great game. the Seljuk entertained me me in last game maybe your Macedonia problem could be solved with them being a minor civ rampaging thro the east? a few suggestions
CERN Research fac and space elevator should require secularism
Olympic park should not be just nationalism(Olympic goal to ignore politics)
st basil's should be Orthodox not communism (maybe you thinking of red square not quite the same thing and should help it to be in east europe, since you have taj as hindu and not muslim i assume its because u want it to happen close to were it did)
empire state maybe capitalism
statue of liberty republic
west minister represtation

could be interesting but what about national wonders
stock exchange mercant/capitolism
summer palace monarchy/aristocracy/viceroyalty(once built should remain when civic change)

regarding capitols about time chang'an was put were it deserves to be be, massive applaud.
but vikings back to nidors Oslo not founded till about 1000 ad
Spain Santiago Santiago Santiago, I've said this before plus the south needs to be Muslim and not spawn territory p.s. north Africa is empty on 600 ad get some cities there fes/Marrakesh/Algiers/Oran/Cordoba theirs plenty to choose all played an important role in the region
what about the franks Aachen, I've seen other civs move capitol so Paris could move when appropriate, when holy Romans appear would make sense

inverness, to be blunt does not deserve to be in the game please make this tile worthless and encourage Glasgow even if there cramped, have you ever been to inverness its only note is its the last place b4 the sea, plus York should be encouraged more than Newcastle (i was born and bred in Newcastle) its England historic capitol of the north, unless you use the newcastle tile but have bamburghinstead, newcastle not important till later (i seen chang'an change to xi'an so should not be a problem)

 

[Linkman226]

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll take them into account. It's good to know you;re enjoying the game.

how do you build holy offices and Malleus Maleficarum?

 

[Sian]

why can't i build Church of the Holy Scripture in this save? got Great Profet and the holy city (although transferred via AP)

 

[Leoreth]

If the holy city gets transferred to another city before you can build the shrine, you have to build it in the new city instead.

 

[Sian]

I'm allready in the holy city with the Profet but can't build it, and yes, i checked that its not allready built in the city as per transferring

 

[Leoreth]

So you're in the new holy city, but can't build the shrine there?

 

[great.taurus]

So it's not in the previous holy city?

 

[Sian]

I am with the GP, in the (new) holy city without being able to shrine it ... only reason i could guess at is that the shrine was built in a previous city, and for some reason didn't get transferred, or unlocked the build again

 

[Leoreth]

So you didn't check whether the old holy city already holds the shrine? It's intentional that the shrine remains in place when the holy city moves. Take a look into the wonders advisor screen to see if the shrine already exists.

 

[Sian]

doesn't excist (while possible i somehow doubt that it could be shrined and destroyed before Isabella enters the game)

 

[Linkman226]

how do you build holy offices and Malleus Maleficarum?

A bug I'm currently aware of, but thanks My guess is I somehow screwed up variables...

why can't i build Church of the Holy Scripture in this save? got Great Profet and the holy city (although transferred via AP)

I thought I fixed this before the last revision

I'll work on it.

Linkman sorry thats it taking so long, but i just wanted to let you know that I am working on the resource spread we discussed about a long time ago. The things that I will try to accomplish with them is:

a) spread resources historically and in a way benifical to gameplay.
b) center them around historical cities
c) block off some less historical cities with Jungle which i dont know you really approve of.

An example would be Brazil where I centered the resources around Rio and Sao Palo. I also moved the jungle from Santador to encourage it to grow and added some resources there.

 

[Linkman226]

Cool, thanks. That's something I wanted to do as well. It's good to see another person join the ranks of modders, even if it isn't exactly the most dramatic modding

just a thought but should the silk route not spread to Italy? the various Italian powers whether local or foreign from about 800 onward grew in power from controlling trade into northern and western Europe originally woolen cloths produced in Italy but later luxury items from the east all this wealth helped to create the banking industry and proto-capitalism with the largest urban settlements in europe and the highest urban to rural ratio in the world unique from the feudal central monarchs of the rest of Europe helping to foster the maritime republics and the Renascence as well as attracting the imperial ambitions from Spain/France/Holy Roman and the decline can clearly be noted from the rise of Portugal and new routes to the east

I'm not sure if it's the Silk Road that should be there so much as a different corporation. I have thought of what yet though.
