RFC Classical World

Yeah, Tisfun is the Persian name for Ctesihpon (which by the way occupies the same tile as Seleukeia).

 

@ srpt

I have a new, much faster computer now. But because of that, I can't make any commits anymore, because I don't know the password I used that autorises me to make commit. (I clicked the "remember password" option, so I only had to fill it in once and then I only had to click "commit changes".)

So, can you send me a new invite? Then I know my new password and I can make commit again.
(if it causes some troubles because technically I'm already invited, just remove me from the developers list and add me again. I think that will work anyway)

Nevermind. I found a way to change my password.

 

new version coming soon. I'm tweaking stability and spawn mechanisms. should ready tomorrow.

 

new version up. svn will come later tonight or merijn if you want to do it go ahead.

changelog:

version 0.1.3

Bugfixes:
fixed slavery mechanic so captured slaves appear on the same tile as the capturing unit in all cases

UHVs:
Pontus' number of Roman cities to conquer increased to 4

Map:
Lake Baikal added (larger size than the recent svn version)
4 German cities and 2 on the Scythian steppe spawn around 380-400AD

Byzantines:
gave them Crop Rotation and Bulk Trade at spawn
prevented Corporations from leaving Roman cities when they flip to the Byzantines
gave Constantinople 30 culture when built so the Byzantines do not have to wait for their iron

 

What cities spawn on the Scythian steppe? I assume that the 4 German cities are the ones I suggested.

 

yes the 4 german ones are the ones you mentioned.

the steppe ones are Tanais and Sarkel. I know it might be a bit early for those but it gives the Huns a base.

also the Avars spawn with siege now.

 

Time to load up a Byzzie 220 AD game and check the balance!

edit:

Barbarians into France/Balkans in the late 4th century needs to be stepped up significantly (preparing Europe for the "barb civ" spawns).

Huns also need to step up their game significantly (they're not doing much up there on the Pontic Steppe).

As an aside, is the Islamic invasion of Spain in the game yet? (More generally, has their threat level been improved lately?)

 

in which scenario do these cities spawn?

I updated to the latest svn and started a 500 AD Gokturk scenario to see them, but there weren't on the map :/

Also, I was thinking of giving a wheat resource on the delta river, on lake Balkash, to help the Gokturks a bit. What do you think?

 

Ziz still doesn't change to Panormus
Lpqy still doesn't change to Leptis Magna
If the Romans capture Lugodunon, it doesn't change to Lugdunum, but if Celts conquer Lugdunum, it does change to Lugodunon
500 AD scenario: The Gokturks have two spawns! (the old one at Karabalasagun, but also in Almaliq) Is it intended?
Only the 320 BC map is almost perfect : only Ancyra should be Ankyra
The three remaining ones are really NOT perfect
You know "Tyre", "Damascus", "Jerusalem", "Ctesiphon"....

And does the Nan Yue event should happen.... twice?
EDIT : OK, it happened THREE times!
EDIT : The Jewish Invasion event also happened twice!

 

Yep, so you can pick the capital you like! Either in Mongolia or Kazakhstan !

 

Berenice should also be Berenike Troglodytika, I think.

 

I think we could ever remove Berenike, it wasn't wery important

 

Q... is it intended that Byzans (when starting from 320bc) aren't getting any flips? ...

 

Maybe the mod should include conditional spawns, to avoid situations like human Qin immediately destroyed with the Han spawn or the same with Parthia crushed by Sassanids? I mean if it's after a certain date and the Qin are below the 'stable' stability level, the Han can spawn

 

Any details? It's not supposed to happen, no.

 

all of the Mediterranean world (everything west of Sassanid, except some Kushan outposts in Trezbond and Caucasus) was Barbarian or a flavour of Independent

Maybe Stability is slightly too hash?

 

Stability isn't really working as well as it should. Earlier it resulted in massive empires that never collapsed, but as of recently, yes, it means that all the big empires are collapsing prematurely.

 

would a cheap "Governor's House" giving +1 Stability (and prehaps -10% maintainence or something, so the +stability doesn't stand alone) at a early tech (lets say Writing for the time being) be viable? ... say 135hammers ...

 

Tibet is too weak,it should have more cities and be more aggresive

 

this is fixed now.

part of the challenge of the Qin is beating the Han. and for Parthia/Sassanids, if you're playing Parthia for the UHV you'd be finished by then while if you're playing for anything else you have lots of time to prepare.

I think this was happening because the Byzantine flip was bugged. all my Visigoth tests (420AD starting from 220AD) have had both Roman empires intact.

they didn't really gain their empire til virtually the end of the mod so I'm not too worried about AI performance. I guess they could get some extra starting units if AI.

I will fix the city names tonight or tomorrow, promise.

I think Nan Yue is fixed, I will look at Judah.

the DLL sources are back in the svn

the German cities are added in the 550AD map
