Heretic: Click User CP and then Edit Profile.

 

[Heretic_Cata]

I searched there - no Chieftain there i also completed all the stuff there - still no change

 

[thetrooper]

Should be under User CP, Edit Profile, "Custom User Title".

Maybe you're not allowed to change it, yet. Don't know the rules, maybe it's 30 days for that one too.

Edit:

If you have 30 posts AND have registered for 30 days, you can give yourself a custom title and a custom non-animated avatar.

 

[Mirc]

Yeah, you need 30 days. If it's written "Join Date: Dec 2005" this doesn't mean that you have 30 days here (in ce data te-ai inregistrat?).
For example, if you joined in 10 December you aren't yet allowed to have a custom user title.

It's been such a long time since I last posted in this forum... C&C and S&T and Civ4 GD are taking so much time...

3. Maybe in Conquests you can, I'm sure that in Vanilla you can't.
4.AFAIK, only manually creating them.

I have lots of newbie questions :

1. How do i post picture previews in the forum - i can only add attachements ?
2. Where exactly do i start a developement thread (which forum exactly) ?
3. Is there any way of removing the diplomatic impact (from editor) of nuke-type units ?
4. Is there any way of making bonus resources' appearance ratio decrease ?
5. How do i change the Chieftain status below my name (in the forum of course) - like everybody else...

That's all for now

To post a picture you need to capture the screen with something (Irfanview/Print Screen). Then it is best to convert it to JPEG at 800 pixels, this can be done in Irfanview (free) or Paint.

The use the REPLY, no Quick Reply and after you make some comments, scrol down to find the Manage Attachments (or something like it). You just select the browes button and find your pix. Then hit the upload buutton. Now you can submit the post and it will show up as long as it is less than 500K or what ever the limit is here.

If it larger you will hace to use an FTP function.

I was searching for this on the forums and found a statement that building US gives you a police station in each city.

I don't see a PS in each city.
Can I build another one, and will that give me double the effect, on both corruption and war weariness?

This is PTW btw.

 

[thetrooper]

'Reduces war weariness in all your cities.' That's all I've ever got. A police station in every city would be great, but I think that somebody pulled your leg there.

As Far As I Know (AFAIK, maybe you knew this), only in the editor, if you're creating a map or changing one you have the options "Grassland" or "Bonus Grassland" at the terrain brush. Select the "Grassland" one and overwrite the Bonus Grassland.

Did I hear somewhere that you don't pay unit support for slave workers?

That is true.

 

[TruePurple]

But they work at half speed. You don't have to pay for foreign settlers or captured artillery either.

After some more thought, i doubt it is the RR mod. Nobody is gonna post the original file. The mod that is the closest to the original is called 'neater railroads' or something close to that.

As I said, it looks like that with the neater railroads mod was well. Why wouldn't anyone post the file? How would you know what other people are willing to do?

It looks more like the desert terrain file that is doing it to you.

I'm using the original desert terrain, plains does it a little too. It only happens when a railroad is run through it.

Does anyone using the original graphics file have this happen to them?

(i knew AFAIK ) But that is not what i was reffering to (not the bonus grassland).
I was refering to the resource type (strategic(iron)-luxury(wine)-bonus(wheat)). Making the wheat appear less (for example) because i made a bonus resource that appears ONLY in tundra - and tundra is not that common on most maps. When the computer generated the random map it placed ALL my walruses (probably misspelling ) in ONE peninsula. I should have taken a screenshot it was a FIELD of walruses (that is why i want to decrease the app. ratio) .
I didn't want to make it a luxury because my mod already has to many of those - so i was thinking about erasing it (but that way there will be no tundra-specific resource ). But if you have an idea for one - i will gladly take it into consideration

 

[HellboundHeathcliff]

There is no ratio to set in the editor for those. Try generating many maps with the editor to see what the main tendancy is. That one might just have been a fluke.

 

[Mirc]

The abbreviations are usually my main problem, so I considered telling this to you too.

 

[denyd]

Would someone please post a link to the thread discussing formula for how long to research a tech will take? I was pretty sure that a portion of the calculation involved how many AI were still left.

Also if an AI captures one of your units (worker, artillery, etc) do you still pay support for that unit?

 

[EMan]

@denyd: Try this thread (TechCalc):

IIRC, there is an error at Chieftain and/or Warlord level......think it was mentioned in the thread.

Been playing C3C for so long, but still:

Promotion of naval vessels: militaristic trait, seafaring trait, both traits or none?

Seems to be totally random if you ask me.
