Is there a way to modify the map and then afterwards play it WITH locked modified assets (Didn't work to change the mapfile in the "private maps" folder)?

Oh and another thing, i never got any real feedback when i brought this up a long time ago but...
Why not increase whatever that calculates how big population you got in your civilization, when you check the "demographics" screen or get a popup saying you got ten-milion when you in reality would have had much more, feels kinda strange since we are playing on a worldmap.

if you tell me what each city size should correspond to, in your opinion, I can try to tweak it.

what do you mean with "With locked modified assets"?

I think it doesn´t let you use the Custom Assets folder with the game. Useful for avoiding incompatibilities, but it will left out harmless mods such modified advisors.

What are some common city placements? I'll make up a list and start looking at historical population demographics. Nothing too detailed, but if Rome or Makkah or Delhi should encompass FAR more people than the game says (say 15 million instead of 5 million), and the population is average, I can get a good list going, like this (but with more dates if needed):Rhye said:
Code:
City 0AD 1400AD 1600AD 1800AD 1850AD
Paris 40 230 210 548 1,600
Berlin -- 8.5 9 172 419
*population in thousands
Or whatever dates, cities, just to get a close idea, nothing too exact.SilverKnight

How much it should be changed im not sure of... but if i get some time over i could test how big population some key city's gets when they have reached their limit then compare it with reality. the more i think of it the harder i imagine it would be to get an fairly accurate number on the amount of population.
With "locked modified assets" i mean when i play a game with the option of entering worldbuilder during play is disabled.

the name itself comes from a song performed by Queen, Seven Seas of Rhye and it's mentioned in another song by Queen, Lily of the Valley, and basically means a fantasy kingdom.
Why I chose it is the curious thing.
I was using other kind of nicknames, before summer of '00. But back then, I begun playing Ultima Online and had to create some player characters.
My main 2 were one with a fantasy name (being appropriate to the type of game), "Rhye", who was my good counterpart; the other was "Indiana Jones" and was a player killer (every good Ultima Online shard had plenty of ill-famed PKs with cool names...).
I ended using more Rhye than Indy, so I was widely known as Rhye in UO, and when I registered in CFC in 2001 to post an Ultima Online scenario, I was forced to register using the name I was known as, so that I could be recognizable by my guild-mates and shard-mates.

these words actually sicken me. when i am rich and famous and have some clout, i shall set up a society protecting the italian language from such disgusting words polluting the beautiful rhythm.

I think it's "lo xilofono".
Unfortunately we can't avoid acquiring certain foreign words such as computer or hard disk. (Calcolatore e disco rigido are way less used).
But I do agree when I hear useless anglicism such as "know-how", very common by many university teachers who use them as centuries ago some people used latin words to "fill their mouth" (probably this is an italian expression only, its purpose is apperaing as more educated, or just superior)

yes, you are right about the "lo xilofono" thingy.
the thing is, when anglicised words would be more acceptable, like DIY, italian uses "il fai-da-te". that is good! do that for every stupid english word!
apparently english is the "in" language at the moment, and in my opinion, always will be; that's being realistic, not pessimistic. it is obvious that the italians, as well as other peoples, do not realise that their language sounds better than english, and even better if it weren't so damn polluted.
surfing on the internet sometimes makes me cry. you see things like "da il pallone alle girls". what on earth are these people thinking? one thing, italian has perfectly good words for "girl". another thing, even if "girl" was acceptable in italian, the "s" at the end would not be there, a rule of italian grammar, vero?
do you know of any "society" that protects the italian language? i know the french have one that makes words entering their language sound more french.
p.s.: is that "fill their mouth" thing "colma la bocca"?

I don't know a lot about Italy now, but I do know that they didn't even have a unified (official) language until the second world war. From what my elders tell me, people from Sicily would have had a hard time communicating with people from Turin or Venice.
I suspect they have SOME kind of regulatory body now.

i am not aware of any body for protecting italian.
But there is indeed an effort for preserving local dialects, which are dying and becoming assimilated by standard italian.
With "filling one's mouth" I mean "riempirsi la bocca" (di parole)
