Interesting place, thanks for the link.

your welcome. im glad to invite multiple members to AH.com

but a fair warning, watch out for Thande.

Rhye... is there a possibility of being able to allow America to settle cities one tile away from each other? i can do it myself if you can tell me where to edit it.

 

[Rhye]

I won't, but it's easy to change. GlobalDefines.xml

EDIT:

Ok, I just noticed that the normal civ has the DLL file as well as the folder, but yours just has the file. So you can just sort of ignore this post...

 

[kairob]

I am really confused, how can I edit the DLL if the is no folder?

Am using that tutorial...



EDIT:
Its ok, I dont need help anymore, as I have given up trying to change the SDK I figured I would just change the cost of the settler to a negative number. It works! (but probably only on the 600 start...

Is there any way to tell who started hostilities? With the recent defensive pacts, often there's no way to tell from the screen announcements who declared war first on whom, and it's rather frustrating. (often I had to guess who the culprit is) My ongoing game with Mongolia, I'm top in score, and everybody (I mean everybody) declared war on me even though I had peace treaties with 5 or 6 of them--I'm guessing it's the AP, even though I have already built the UN, but there was no AP announcement (maybe because I don't have any Christianity in my land).

Also, the UN seems rather nerfed in general. Specifically the UN decision come very few in between (since I've been elected secretary in 1870 no resolutions have been called, and it's already 1900), and the AP is still functional since Germany has not even researched radio yet. Is it possible to make the AP obsolete once somebody has researched mass media (not just the palace resident)?

Question on congresses...

If I am in contact with every nation alive at the time of the congress, and I am the #5 nation in score, how can I NOT be invited to the congress?

Happened to me in a game as the Maya in the 1870ish congress (naturally I started a world war when I would not vacate a city in the area of New Orleans that I had setteld around 450AD.

Thanks

 

[Rhye]

the first 3 always are

 

[Barak]

So it is possible to be a top nation and NOT be invited to a congress? Seems weird that a city could be asked for with 0% population and not in the flip zone of a nation. But the world war will be fun to watch....

Maya, Portugal, Russia, England, Mongol, Japan, Mali Dutch

vs

Greek, Spain, Germany, America, Turk

Good thing I have infantry!

 

[Rhye]

you aren't a top nation. Top 3 are always assured.

just give the AP-owner mass media and it will be obsolete

[09camaro]

[09camaro]

Is there a way i can edit the "civ switch" option too allow me to switch civs more than once?

also, is there a way can edit the map and the scripts to allow for the Viking settlements in Greenland?

 

[kairob]

just open up the World Builder file in Notepad, find greenland (the hard part) and put a grasslands tile on it and a fish resource in the sea for food and maybe a resource to boost its production (whatever is in greenland allready, copper?)
