Request: A few changes.

[ge0h0und]

Hello, I'm new to the forums and to the game. I just recently got it and have been pretty hooked on playing the last week or so. I really do love this mod for the realistic features it offers. However there are a few things I would wish to change to make it more enjoyable for me. I was hoping someone would be able to help me out with.

First I would hope to add some sort of option to turn on/off Technology brokering. It's one of the things that irks me a bit, but not so much since I can still manage to stick around on monarch difficulty.

Second I would like to add an additional civilization to the list. I noticed a Vietnam mod on the New civs. mod section. I was wondering if someone could do me a favor and add it to Rhye's spiffy mod. Or assist me on changing things to have it added. Whichever is fine. ^^;

What I would like to do is to keep the Khmer civilization in the area, but just move it a bit northwest, or perhaps just spawn the Vietnamese on the islands Southeast of the Khmer. I would really appreciate it if someone could help me out with this since I'm not too good with this sort of thing.

I've watched some of the how to make a mod videos, but certain things like the tech brokering aren't exactly covered on it. :x

Thanks for looking~

Brokering wish granted! Put those in the
Beyond the Sword\Mods\Rhye's and Fall of Civilization\Public Maps

You should see the options to play with the "with brokering" files. If not, select "play scenario" or try double clicking on the file itself.

As for the new nation, you are short on luck. Look for reference the requests for playable Byzantines and the inclusion of Korea and Canada and others. Basically, it is very hard and hardly anyone would do it.

Thank you for the file and for the refernences.

Editing - After reading the threads it seems nearly impossible to add civs, but would it be just as difficult to replace them with a different civ?

No, since all you'd have to do is just change some names around. The most I've fiddled is XML files but I think it should be relatively the same as long as you don't rename the Khmer as Vietnamese (for example) in the files themselves. TXT_BUILDING_STONEHENGE appears as The Great Sphinx in my games but its XML name is still STONEHENGE. Heed that advice, and good luck.
