Questions & Answers

[LukeUeda-Sarson]

can anyone one tell me what these terms mean-
Turtling-
Whipping-(i assume this has to do with rushing production w/ slavery)

Yes, whipping is the sacrifice of population to build things in a hurry under slavery.

Turtling is hiding behind your borders, and not exposing yourself to risks. Something the Japanese are ideally suited to, since they can restrict themselves to islands, and while the AI sucks at naval invasions generally, in RFC, they seem even less predisposed to conduct them; the Japanese get a free city garrison one promotion, making them that little bit harder to dislodge, and their homeland is resource-rich, meaning they can get a nice big population (good for score amongst other things), gain techs easily (good for score amongst other things...), and never be forced to leave to secure a required resource.

Cheers, Luke

not always, once i saw them exapand into china, philipens and north of Australia, it was rly weird. But your right they usually just stay within Honshu (the Japanese mainland).

someone here should try to recreate imprealist Japan and take over Asia! that would be so cool

thats a good idea for a uhv i think, it could be control china, indochina, malaysa, The philipines, and austrailia by 1945 or something. iv seen them take the phillipenes a few times but that was it.

 

[sk8er AG]

what does control 2 shrines mean in persia game, conquered dehli and built what i thought was 2 shrines, a hindu one and a budditest one.

 

[jsweeney]

ohh well when you get a great phrophet order him to build the two holy buildings in delhi

 

[BurnEmDown]

To complete the first 2 German UHVs do I have to control the land of the nation or can I just vassalize them?

 

[jsweeney]

im not sure but i think full control will be easier because european nations tend to be strong enough not to be vassalized.

From forum rules:

Multiple accounts are not permitted.

Create one account, make sure you're satisfied with the name, and keep it. Be sure to choose your user name carefully. If you wish to change your user name for whatever reason, please contact Thunderfall.

But there's no guarantee that Thunderfall will actually change your name, since he dislikes doing it.

Thank you for a wonderful mod Rhye! Can I ask you couple of questions, please?

1. I got a brand new PC laptop (with Windows Vista Home) and brand new instalation of Civ 4 Gold (only Warlords) and your latest 1.148 RFC. After few turns the screen goes black, I can see mouse only. The igfx video driver fails. Windows fixes it in 1 minute but then it happens again after few turns. This time permanently. Civ 4 stops responding, I can't even save my game. I have no custom Assets and this never hapened before this mod. Any help, please?

2. Started as Romans on Emperor level. Really enjoying city names, when I place my cities in regular game I always consult real map to give the correct name. Now even AI does it, very lovely. I crushed Carthage in the First Punic War on the turn 2. Mighty Hannibal never had a chance to land in my Italia. Any way to make this more challenging except me just letting them to develope without wars for 20 turns or so? Greece was crushed with the same ease , no Pyrhhus to resist. I loved different type of units in Sparta and Athens, but why don't give them more cities, capitals of Epirus and Macedonia, at least.

3. Any way to program pigs to cause unhappines under Islam and Judaism? And cow to cause happy face under Hinduism? That would be super fun

Launching a war against either Carthage or Greece in the first 5 or so turns is historically premature on your part. If you are set on seeing a more historical development of Rome's neighbours, I suggest that you give them enough turns to found their own extra cities.

However, even so, the mod doesn't change the generally poor AI programming to launch amphibious assaults or concerted campaigns against the human player. Occasionally I am surprised by the AI, but in general I'm not. But this is fundamentally due to BTS programming, not Rhye's mod.

 

[Lone Wolf]

Also, I'd like to point out that early in the game the ancient empires are busy fighting barbarians, which lessens their ability to fight wars with other players, and the plague makes the AI on attack weaker too (the more units AI has, the more units it will be ready to use on attack. That's why AI-AI wars even in classic CIV are more common on higher levels.) That's the worst effect of plague, IMO.

I think that's a driver issue, probably nothing to do with RFC. Try installing the latest drivers from your graphics chipset from the manufacturer's website (not through Windows Update).

So I didn't get the second UHV goal as the germans despite:

Controlling sweden/norway with two cities (no other civs had cities in sandinavia).
Controlling Russia with Moscau, Vologda, Caricyn (Russia collapsed)
And controlling England with London / Inverness (I burned Manchester/Plymouth).

Did I need more cities in england/scandinavia? Or do the Irish isles count for that too?

2 cities should be enough for an area if there are no other civs in that area. Have you checked the atlas?

Did you wait until 1940 (as opposed to 1870 for the first UHV condition)?
If yes, did you get a NO on the F8 (victory conditions) screen?
If yes, could you post a save?

Question: In my current game as Germany, I have initiated a Golden Age then changed civics, yet we plunge into Anarchy. Playing on BtS with the most recent patch and update of Rhye's itself.

In the wikiRhye it says:

If your stability is UNSTABLE the period of anarchy will drop you into the COLLAPSING range.
Having a golden age raises stability, so changing civics in a golden age may prevent this.

BtS only. There is no anarchy when changing civics or religion in a golden age.
=======================

This is telling me that there should be no anarchy, but there is. What gives? I am sure this has been brought up before, but I don't have time to go wading through pages of this and other threads, which is where a basic search on "Anarchy" in the Rhye's Forum has taken me.

I appreciate any answers.

Cheers.

v1.05 (BTS)
CHANGES
- Civics [change] cause anarchy in golden age, as in Vanilla and Warlords
