Just curious, is there a way to give that bonus to everything except the first pathfinder? Giving them woodsman off the bat creates a tremendous advantage to the AI in terms of ruin collection and CS bonuses...it’s a lot stronger than just getting a general combat promotion

Yea, I like to have ruins available to explore....

Can just change the code to

    // free XP from handicap?
    int iXP = GC.getGame().getHandicapInfo().getAIFreeXP();

    if (iXP && strcmp(getName().GetCString(), "Pathfinder") != 0 && !kPlayer.isHuman() && /*kPlayer.GetID() < MAX_MAJOR_CIVS &&*/ canAcquirePromotionAny())

Now that taking a holy city wipes out your faith....what do you think would be better, to take an enhanced religion (which you had no control over) or not?

 

[CppMaster]

It depends on the enhanced religion's beliefs and beliefs that are left to take.

How does that Frances temporar boost from UA scale? I got 1turn for 1st city, now 3turns with a 2nd.

Based on captured city's population.

I recently introduced VP to my co-worker, however he has a Mac. Is it possible to make VP somehow work on it? (I guess no because of all the DLL changes, but want to be sure)

You guessed correctly. You have to use a windows emulator.
(Note that steam is currently working on an integrated windows emulator. Not if it is still in progress, but maybe in the next few years it will be possible to use VP on mac just by toggling "windows emulator" on steam)

Thank you for your answer my friend. Yeah I thought so. I'll just tell him to either use VM or make a dual-boot (VP alone worths it!!!)

I want to play an improved ai only not the whole vox populi. But just using the comunity patch removed features like gifting units to other civ which is very unreasonable. Instead of teaching the ai to play they just remove the feature entirely. Is there anyway i can reenable this features? I tried changing the core balance to 0 in sql still the features were didisabled. Heelp

dont get me wrong but from my understanding, what you want is part of the vox populi and now you are the one being unreasonable. vox populi balances the game compared to vanilla unless you are making your own vox populi style mod. besides, one of the reason why the AI is smarter because the game is more balanced and helps better decision making.

If I conquer cities that have academies/manufactories/towns, do those tile improvements count towards my percentage bonus when expending the corresponding great person? Also, does the number cap? So if I have a huge empire with 20 academies, do I get a 200% bonus on expending GS for instant science yields, even if half of them weren't originally mine?

What are the promotions for land units that gives extra movement? 1 extra movement after shock 3 or drill 3, lightning warfare, persian UA, zulu promotion. Is there anything else?

Q: Don't you think we lack a 'funny screenshots' thread?

 

[azum4roll]

How did that happen? Some extra mod?

VP only and standard pangea, looks like the city state spawned on a 1 tile island and that mountain was the only place (closest no-sea tile) where to put the warrior

If I raze a city and replace the ruins with an improvement, will an archeology site still spawn there?

It should. i think only GPI removes it and perhaps some UI which removes features like eki too(but i am not sure).

I play on MacOS using wine (open source Windows emulator). The only downside is having to launch it via the Terminal. Oh, and performance is probably better under Windows but I don't have a Windows license anyway.

It used to be the case, but not anymore since ~3-4 months back: only the ones you planted count.

Not any part of vp just the comunity patch. Read there presentation so you know what im taking about. Vp means the cbo. Cp is supposed to be for ai improvements only and some leftover bugfixes.

In "Community Patch\Core Files\Core Values\CoreDefines.sql", there are the lines:

Line 23: -- No major civ gifting exploit fix
Line 24: UPDATE CustomModOptions SET Value = 1 WHERE Name = 'NO_MAJORCIV_GIFTING';

Just change the 1 into a 0.

And it should re-enable gifting to other civilisations.
You will need to do it each time you update the mod, or too create a little mod depending on CP with "UPDATE CustomModOptions SET Value = 0 WHERE Name = 'NO_MAJORCIV_GIFTING';"

If this does not work, you need to make a Github request:
https://github.com/LoneGazebo/Community-Patch-DLL/issues

Stating that the option to disable the fix does not work (This would be a bug).

Note: If you are using a modpack, you have to change the value also in the file in the Override folder
