Exactly, there is a forum called Rhye's and Fall of civilization MP (which means multi-player). If you'd like to start a game, simply open a thread and ask people if they want to play a game let's say in about a week. Unfortunately, there are not many people that play RFC MP games (I prefer single player for example), so it could be that you have to plan the date a little later than you'd wish.

In a Japanese name for Pearl Harbor, what is the name?
Would it be:
-Pearl Harbor - Shinju Ha-ba, Pa-ru Ha-ba
-Harbor of Pearls -
-Harbor of Pearl -
-Harbor Pearls - Ha-ba-Shippou
-Harbor Pearl - Ha-ba-Shinju, Ha-ba-pa-ru

Pearl- shinju, pa-ru
Pearls- shippou
Harbor- ha-ba-
Of- IDK

 

[dragodon64]

I don't exactly quite Japanese, but if shinju is pearl and haba is used to mean harbor, then Shinju no Haba should mean Harbor of Pearl or Pearl's Harbor (I think).

 

[JujuLautre]

you know that haabaa is just the enligsh word right ?

In any case, what's your question exactly? How to say Pearl Harbour in Japanese ? Or how do Japanese call Pearl Harbour ?

 

[ZachScape]

When the Turks found or capture Jerusalem, it says: Kudus (or something). That is how the Arabic name is pronounced in English, right? Even though it is not the actual Turkish characters. So I am saying in an Alternate History scenario, what would the Japanese nae the plot 'Pearl Harbor' if they founded it? Not the Japanese characters, but the pronunciation w/e.

 

[JujuLautre]

Wikipedia says 真珠湾, which is read as shinjuwan; otherwise, パールハーバー, that is paaru haabaa (depending how you write it).

Not sure what w/e means, so not sure if I answered your question correctly.

 

[ZachScape]

What ever
Sort of like b/c = because.

But you answered it, thanks a lot.

I was wondering, is it possible for the human player to be vassalized? Also the follow up, if that is impossible is there a way edit xml code to allow it?

 

[Wessel V1]

With the world builder: yes. Without: would require DLL changes. It would be interesting to see though.

 

[Zagoroth]

In Conclusion...: Never mind the previous questions if you read them. Vista was showing it's usual majesty by making the CityNameManager.py file a compatibility file after any edit. So even though it was in the folder, it was not being used by Civilization.

I know that haabaa, or haaba, haba, etc. are just romanizations of how harbor would be written in katakana, but thanks for clearing it up anyway. BTW, does Japanese have a lot of similar cases where there is a native Japanese word for something, but a foreign word meaning the same thing (in katakana) has common usage instead?

I don't know about Pearl Harbour (never talked about that with anyone ) but there are quite a few yes. There are even foreign words for which Japanese equivalents were created; of course, no one uses them

A question to Rhye: What is the best way to update a mod to 3.19. I am actually modding the thing and I will have to figure out the new .cpp and .h files and how they interface with the rest and so on. Do you know of a better way or perhaps a reference on the new files and new .h interfaces and where all the code/changes go.

sorry for the slow answer. When you asked the question I still was at Elba and couldn't even read the forum.

Get a program like Beyond Compare or WinMerge. I think they're shareware.
It will compare line by line every change that was made

 

[Rhye]

This is a one-man mod and that man has only just begun updating the code for 3.19.

He has been kept on an island for the last few months to prevent his invading Europe.

 

[Rhye]

Yes, that change happened in 1.182. Then in 1.183:
The African invisible line will move dynamically, so it won’t stop barbs anymore

Spoiler :

                for iLoopX in range(48,63+1):
                        for iLoopY in range(22,33+1):
                                pCurrent = gc.getMap().plot(iLoopX, iLoopY)
                                if (not pCurrent.isWater()):
                                        pCurrent.setArea(africaID)                
                print("Sahara now African")

Hello, I'm new to the Forum and I have a question. I'm putting together my own MOD and I loved Rhye's feature of having civs start at different times. So, my question is - does anyone know how Rhye does this (or, if you're out there Rhye - how do you do it?)? This might be proprietary information but if it isn't I would love some pointers on how to do this.

This might be a question that was already asked and answered but frankly there are a lot of pages in the Questions and Answers thread and so a bit cumbersome to read through.

It's not easy to explain. I strongly advice to integrate your mod into RFC, rather than the other way round

 

[Rhye]

Another question, how can I add more buildings without the RFC taking them as yet another embassy?

SDK tweak. You need to edit CvCity, around line 2026 (if (eBuilding >= NUM_BUILDINGS_PLAGUE))

 

[jsweeney]

I don't know if this has been answered before, but how does rhye do the historic city names? I want to implement something like that in my own mod but have no clue how to.

 

[Chiyochan]

is there a map or some way to find out what city names are in what tiles? building and deleting cities in WB is pretty tedious

 

[JujuLautre]

it's all in ~RFCfolder/Assets/Python/CityNameManager.py
