Quick Answers / 'Newbie' Questions

@GreenLady: Which Civ game are you playing (viz. Vanilla/PTW/C3C) and which version number (I.e. v1.22f)?

 

It also would be helpful to have a save of when you were trying to build it, if the one you posted isn't it.

 

This dave is corrupted. I cannot say what is wrong, but it could not be loaded with C3C, SeedBeast or several other tools.

So I have no idea what is amiss, but I would wonder if some editor has been involved.

 

My guess is the latest patch isn't applied.

GreenLady, try getting the most recent patch...that usually helps.

 

The reason I did not mention patches was the errors where unlike the dataio errors I see with an incompatible game, but it could be the case.

 

It looks like I have version 1.07f . The link to the patches above doesn't work, Ginger_Ale.

There are bugs in 1.07.....sounds like you found one!

 

Thanks everyone! It was probably just a bug. Now I'm fighting the lovely copy-protection systems in Windows (why is it so hard to re-install my legally-obtained game?). Hopefully next game will go better.

 

It is not Windows, it is the games that have the copy protection. Windows only care about copying it stuff.

 

I don't think there are any limits on those.

 

If there are any limits, someone in the creation & customization forum might know what they are.

 

Steph's mod 2 will have about 3000 units.

 

Limit on improvements.

 

Yeah, I'm not aware of any limits on the others (besides units), but there probably are, yet very high limits. Remember, though, you can only have 8196 units on the map at one time too in Conquests.

 

In my current scenario, I want to make the FP(Forbidden Palace) like it used to be in , which was no corruption.

So, is there any way to make the FP like in vanilla? Cause I cant find nothing in the editor.

 

They changed th eway corruption is handled, so I wold think you coudl not make behave that way. Read Alexman's article.

 

A few unrelated Qs:

In the editor, Facism is listed as xenophobic and forced resettlement. I'm assuming this corresponds to 'angry with everybody in diplomacy' and the 'losing pop count when switching to government and capturing cities'?

In many screenshots, I see the civ name next to the city name. Playing a 24 civ game, I've made the mistake trying to bombard a seafoam green civ instead of the light green civ. I've messed with the preferences and I can't seem to find this neat feature. Ideas?

 

Also, what does Fascism do to someone's culture?

 

"Show civ ownership" (or something like that) in prefrences

Forced resettlement- you lose 1 pop for town, 2 pop in cities, 3 pop in metros
Xenophobic- you don't get culture from cities with more than half foreign.

 

It's called 'Colorblind Help' or something similar.
