In C3C (and I think PTW; not sure about vanilla 1.29) there should be an option "Play Last World" when you are setting up. <snip>

I can confirm that the Play Last World option is NOT in PTW.

somehow, in the Crowded games, people somehow program the map maker to make crowded maps without using editor, how do they make it so that in the "New Game" option, I can get crowded map starts?

Make a copy of the conquests.biq file, for backup, then edit the original conquests.biq file to allow for 31 players.

Um.......?

 

[Smart]

You should rename scenario with 31 players to conquests.biq and put it to main folder. It scenario will be auto-loaded when you will start new game.

 

[Ansar]

So everytime I make a new game, it will be a crowded one?

 

[Smart]

Yes

[Ansar]

Awesome, so... I make a map with the choices I want in the editor, and save it as conquests.biq?

Give it a different name and save it in the conquests\scenarios folder. You then access it via the Civ-Content from the main menu. If you overwrite the default biq without backing it up you will have to reinstall to get it back.

Thank you, but I rememeber that happened to me once, had to reinstall.

Thanks all.

P.S- @Smart: No, I just want clear step-by-step instructions.

I saw a cheat. Here it is.
"100,000 gold and PW
Start a new game and enter 'Leemur' as a leader name."

What is PW??? Where is a leader name????

 

[TruePurple]

Well not sure what PW stands for, I suppose if the code works you might find out yourself. But when you get a military leader, you get an option to name the unit that spawned it. You don't actually name the leader. But maybe thats what they mean. Next time you spawn a ML, name the unit that spawned it leemur.

 

[Mr David]

Not really
That was a really old cheat that got patched up.
What happened was, at the game setup screen you can change your leaders name (e.g. Lincoln, Bismarck, Catherine) to Leemur and it would give you 100000 gold.

I'm not sure what PW is either.

The yellow dot means you have the option to make an embassy, the white star means you cant because of some reason, not discovering writing or at war.

 

[HellboundHeathcliff]

The dot indicates an active embassy.

 

[Ansar]

The dot indicates an active embassy.

I guess thats an easier way to put it.

Sometimes, later in the game, I'll get a sun-looking thing in the corner of my unit-display-thingy. Yes, very descriptive, I know. It drives me crazy! I don't know what the stupid sun means! Any help would be appreciated.

[Padma]

It's the global warming indicator. The brighter the "sun" the worse the situation is.
