RFC Epic/Marathon

[embryodead]

Thanks for your hard work Embryodead! Will there be an update out anytime soon?

I did some minor balancing tweaks to slow down research and expansion, will post kind of a final update as soon as I figure out how to make a proper installer with NSIS, so that people have no more installations issues.

Thanks embryodead!! I can't wait!!

 

[Leoreth]

Embryodead, I have incorporated your modmod into mine. I hope you are okay with that

 

[embryodead]

Of course

 

[Leoreth]

Great!

Hi!

Is this modmod compatible with Rhye's MP? Wondering because I wanna test Rhye MP with epic gamespeed. If not is it difficult to make it compatible?

 

[embryodead]

It's not compatible. It could work I guess but it'd have to be merged with Rhye's MP, which is a lot of work and I'm unfamiliar RFCMP at this point.

As for the latest release, I'm holding on till Rhye releases the final RFC patch.

Excellent idea!! I am getting really excited about the final patch, but was apprehensive about playing normal speed again.

Cool, I can't believe it has taken me this long to find RFC epic/marathon!
DL'ing now, and I will do my best to provide input!

Will this work on a Mac?

No, not on MacOS at least - as far as I know no mods with custom DLL (other than those included with BTS) work on Mac, unless you launch them on Windows.

Well, I don't know if you installed it right, but you're starting the game wrong. Once you loaded the mod, you should click on "Play Scenario" and then either "RFC 3000 BC unlocked" or "RFC 600 AD unlocked". Ignore the WBQuickSave thing, that's your last QuickSave from previous mod you played, so it won't work.

i downloaded the mod from the link you gave us. Then i extracted the winrap data into the documents/beyondthesword/MODS. I find the mod under load mod as RFC marathon but i dont find it as "RFC 3000 unlocked" or "RFC 600 unlocked" when looking for it in play mod (this only happened when i had the rfc varietas delectat in the MODS folder so i took it out but there is no such after taking it out (PS: is there anyway you could combine the mods?)). And if i try it over loading the mod, i see in the upper right part of the starting menu screen "RFC Marathon" but if i press on play scenario there only appears the Wbsavegame thing if i press on thatthe names ar different then normal for example "old empire of egypt" instead of "egyptian empire" or " han people" instead of " chinese empire" (my game is in german so maybe its not 100% the same names but its just to show the difference). The game works but i can still only choose normal as speed and i need 9 turns to get fishing (and i think thats not enough).

Sound like a great mod lot of respect so id like to play so im happy for help;
thanks

 

[embryodead]

homeempire,
Please install the mod into the Mods folder in your main game folder, NOT documents folder, e.g. C:/Program Files/Civilization 4/Beyond the Sword/Mods/ or wherever you have BTS installed. This is the way to install most mods out there.

Then you should be able to start the mod normally through Load Mod -> Play Scenario or by going to Mods/RFCMarathon/PublicMaps and launching one of the WBSaves there.

 

[homeempire]

ok it work if i go into the public maps. Dont know why. Thanks for the help and the great mod

I must say this mod owns... but I have one question: where do I change the year of which a civ starts?

Same as in normal RFC, you'd have to change tBirth date in Consts.py and startingYear in CvRhyes.h, then recompile the DLL.

Not being pushy....just wondering if that update will be out anytime soon. I'm itching to start a new game of RFC, but I've been trying to hold out for the new version of this modmod. Thanks!
