I fixed the AI Agents art reference, changed the food production of resourses and edited the cultural level info. I think thats pretty much all I did besides edits to python to help me debug.

Yeah, and 12monkey's scenario for robotic colony Barbarians does actually seem pretty cool, in a way which random events as replacement for barbarians does not. There's just something about robots.Belizan said:
Ehrm... well, sort of. Anyways, and this might have been discussed already, but why are the Special Civics not handled like Golden Ages? While not necessarily just triggered by Great Peoples, without religions and culture they could be a "replacement use" for Great Peoples. The turn limit to the special civics would perhaps be more forseeable or "acceptable" if they're handled this way. Then again, this would remove the option of the player to continue with the civic in spite of increasing drawbacks, and also, the special civics have already been coded (haven't they?). Just an idea, if the code can be reused -- and if civics are the reason for the CTD.

Honestly, the special civics were the brain child of JBG, I just coded them. We'll probably re-work them, but gold ages can not be co-opt'd in the way you are describing (at least not in any straight forward fashion 8).

Woodelf asked me to make a robot unit the other day that you could possibly use in your mod. I've got it modelled, and just need to add the skin to it, so I thought you all might want to see it.
I'm also playing around with adding some animations. But I've never done that before and don't know if I will be able to figure it out or not. Either way it should probably be ready in the next day or two.
There's no skin attached yet, so that's why it's all grey right now. And whatever colors/textures I decide on will be changeable with the .dds file.

I think the robots from the failed robot colony were more the unmanned rover and trashcan droid with wheels variety.
Warsong says there was an unmanned Russian probe on the moon that operated for 4 months before succumbing to the cumulative effects of the Lunar Dust. Maybe something that looked like it (wouldn't it be nice if I had looked up a picture already? :/. Sorry
).

There were two landings. The first lasted 11 months, the second lasted 4.

woodelf said:Does that mean we're having robotic barbs or not? I think you'll need the SDK though to choose what units can be barbs. Right now the barbs get the same units the players do...
Actually you can do just that via XML.
Further you can completely replace the entire barbarian generation algorithm via Python.
Anyway, my plan was to make them a switchable option in the map script, so you could pick whether you wanted them or not.

I posted that robot unit I had previewed: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=164543
I wasn't able to get the animations working yet like I wanted. And that's probably going to take a while, so I went ahead and posted the static model for now. I'll update it whenever I add the animations in the future.

Awesome, thanks Dual.
