Questions & Answers

I have a question.

Why is it that sometimes when a tile says that your influence is 75% and your neighbor's influence is 25% it still doesn't belong to you? I never get to control a tile when my influence on that tile is less than the other guys.

This is different depending on whether the tile is in a particular civ's 'core' area or not.
I think you need 80% to take control of a tile in another civ's core area.
 
That sucks. Right now I'm playing a game as Russia and I've managed to settle Budapest before the germans. The tile directly north of Budapest is about 75% mine, but I don't control it. I guess it makes sense for the overall balance of the game though.
 
As anybody been noticing strange occurrences in Rhye's latest RFC version?

The reason I say this, is because I've been noticing a Viking Britain, a bit too often, the Vikings always seem to invade England now, and with a lot of ferocity. I've also noticed that Babylon seems to be incredibly strong. My main concern is the Viking Britain problem though, does anybody else have this problem?
 
The changelog says that this is intended. Actually, I think it is the prime feature of the new patch. And I must say that I think it's a cool addition.:)

I don't know if you haven't noticed, but the game tends to move quite quickly, which means that if the English collapse they won't respawn for a VERY long time, and we can all say bye bye to the British Empire, which means a lot of cities will go missing, the English can't be gone for that long
 
To be honest I haven't played many games since the release, so I can't give my opinion on that. The first results seemed nice but if it is so bad as you describe, than it is a problem, indeed.
 
I downloaded the latest vanilla version of the mod. Everything went fine andat the end i went under ADVANCED and LOAD A MOD and it was there. When i click on it it says "game must restart to load mod" just like it does for other mods. So the game closes and it goes to the screen that says loading in like 7 langauges. Then it suddenly closes and a pop up says "Sid Meir's Civ 4 has stopped working. Windows is looking for a solution". After a few minutes it says it couldnt find the problem. I even asked my brother and he said he couldnt see anything wrong with it
 
Try bypassing the Advanced -> Load Mod sequence by launching the game with the WBS file instead (right click and choose Open): RFC 3000 BC.Civilization4WBSave or RFC 600 AD.Civilization4WBSave (or whatever the file suffix is for Vanilla files). I always use this shortcut myself - I actually put them both in my Start menu in Win XP.

Save games can be opened in the same fashion. This is why my Start menu also features a shortcut to CurrentGame.CivBeyondSwordSave (should work the same with a Civilization4Save). Since I always save my current game as CurrentGame. If I'm playing around the clock I will in fact move this shortcut to the Autostart folder and my current save will launch automatically when I reboot. (Good to do every few hours or so to get rid of lag.) So when I come back with warm coffee from the kitchen the game is already running! :king: Its a universe away from starting up the game, loading a mod, selecting a save game...
 
I'm sorry but a bunch of that went over my head can you give me like a step by step? Cause i tried to follow your directions but it didnt work. So just a little simpler please :)
 
Ok, open your \Sid Meier's Civilization 4\Mods\PublicMaps\ folder and locate the WBS file. It should be named "RFC 3000 BC" or "RFC 600 AD" depending on what scenario you wanna use. Right-click on the scenario of your choice and select the Open option. (Or you could just double-click it.)

Did this launch the game with the mod pre-selected?
 
How can I stop the Ottomans Turks from invading Persia which is,
a. very unhistorical
b. it drains resources from invading the rest of North Africa/Europe

So can someone tell me how I can possibly change the Ottoman war map/settler map? that would be awesome, thanks :)

PS. Does anyone know where I can find settler/stability maps for RFC v.1.187?

Sorry for having to repost, but no one answered any of my questions, so here they are again.
Thanks :)

PS. Hanoi (the city which the Khmer ALWAYS build), should be called "Thăng Long", until 1830's when the name was changed to Hanoi. Someone should script this, so that when the Khmer first build it, it is called Thăng Long, and then later it changes to Hanoi, kind of like Edo changing later in the game to Tokyo.
 
The_Turk: Perhaps you could mod RFC so that the Turks and the Persians will periodically have enforced peace treaties (at least as long as both are controlled by the AI)?

<ShamelessSelfPromotion>
You can achieve this with the PyScenario application - if you don't know any proper Python.

To tell you the truth, I would love to learn how to do it myself, but I find it so complicated. I actually read through some of it, and it came off as really confusing for me:sad:, but I'll try to take another look. Thanks for the suggestion! :)

BTW, would actually going into the files to change the AI be harder than using your program?
 
I wouldn't even know how to influence AI behavior... So I guess it would be harder - at least for me.

Regarding PyScenario; if you specify exactly what you need I can fix it for you. But you could start by installing the application.

But PyScenario is a lot easier than to learn actual programming. I'm not saying there isn't a lot to learn - or that you couldn't learn Python instead. In any case you probably need to start with some of the basics - and I can help.
