RFC Europe Files

[Samsa]

Good job, help is always welcome. The visible areas were discussed in this tread:
http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=305024
They would be larger than the Broader areas especially for the late pawn civs. We believe that it would help the AI a lot expanding.

Why did you change the WB file, did you actually put visible territory in it. IN general we try to avoid changes in the WB since it is not robust at all. If we decide to make Burgundy a late spawn civ (i.e. not on turn 0) then we will have to change the indexing of the civs, the WB file would only remember that civ X should see tile Y, but Civ X is suddenly different. In short, the Franks would get the visibility of Byzantium and everything would change. Then again, if there is a good reason to change the WB then we will do that. So why the change in the WB?

I'll take a look into this thread, and adjust the visibility.

The WB file was change, cause i added visibility to Burgundians and the Franks (the change to Byzantine in minor). I did that for consistence, if the later civs get some uncovered map the first should get some too. Didn't knew about the "don't touch the WB file" agreement, so i remove this instantly

I see about the WB. Call the visibility function in from where the new units are created, that way the function will be called for the Burundians and Byzantines and Franks, but we will avoid the problems we might have if we change the order of the civs later on.

Another RFCEmaps file (rarred). Many changes this time. Specifically
1) Yay-synchronized Arabian and Byzantine maps in the Middle East.
2) Minor fixes in the Narva-Tartu area in Moscowan and Swede maps.
3) Removed the mass of Hungarian names in the middle from the Dutch maps.

And of course, I will agree with jessiecat and civmademepoor that without 3Miro and sedna17, the mod wouldn't be where it is currently.

And, due to the amateurism and the indisputable awkwardness of the poster, the file wasn't posted in previous post. It is there.

 

[BurnEmDown]

To 3Miro and Sedna: Just a thanks to all the work you've both been doing on this great mod. I hope 2K or whatever company you want picks you up (after the mod is done, work like slaves until then 'cause I want to play a finished version!): I've paid far more for far less in my professional life, and I'm very impressed with both the enthusiasm and professionalism you two have both displayed in this project. And that by no means is to mitigate others contributions, but it's clear that you two are leading this on many levels.

Cheers!

-Mark (civmademepoor)

Sorry for the delay but I just noticed this message thanks to micbic. I'm sure we all feel this way and are very grateful for all of your hard work (and all future works of course!) Without you this modmod would still be an idea! Thanks

 

[sedna17]

1) Thanks for the kind words and encouragement from everyone.
2) Thanks also to a) Micbic for taking charge of polishing the city name maps and b) Samsa for volunteering to get involved in the coding effort.
3) Play-testing feedback and historical suggestions are very important too. It's great to have everyone contributing where they can.

 

[3Miro]

The encouragements were so strong that I got motivated to do a next version today. It does not include all the fixes and features that I wanted, but it is close enough.

Not all of the new UHVs are tested. Also there is still a possibility for the colonies to give a bug (they should not, but still).

Keep up the good work everyone.

On Jessiecat's idea of all players getting some Crusader units. It sounds good, but it means that all Catholic players would declare war on Arabia. That alone might be too much.

What I was really suggesting was that the human player could have some units so he could take part in the action even if he wasn't chosen leader. Not necessarily all Catholic civs. Maybe just the 2 nominees plus the human player automatically. So only 2 or 3 at most. Which also seems historically realistic I think as not every Christian kingdom took part.

It again implies war with Arabia. I for one would hardly go to war with a powerful foe and with just couple of units.

I will think about it.

NEXT VERSION IS OUT, grab it the first post of the tread.

Jessiecat, to do the Moscow UHV you need to reload a save before 1400AD.

 

[micbic]

Another RFCEmaps file, this time:
1) Restricted Bulgarian map to the Balkans
2) Made some spelling changes in Arab/Cordoba maps, as per Kalimakhus' suggestions
3) Revamped a little and synchronized maps in Greece.

 

[3Miro]

A small patch addressing the Frank and Venetian UHVs.

 

[jessiecat]

I have found some good art for the following colonies and projects and have posted them here.
Virginia, Cuba, Malaya, East Indies, Brazil, Ivory Coast, Gold Coast, Capetown, India and East Africa.
I've posted a couple more plus some alternatives in the following post.

 

[jessiecat]

Here's a few more. Maybe no.5 for the East India Company and No. 6 for the Hudson Bay.

 

[jessiecat]

And just a few that might be more colourful for Krak des Chevaliers and the eras. Included is a really nice map of the West Indies which would do for the West India Company.

 

[BurnEmDown]

Ooooh! I like the one with the french in India, shows how they have Heirarchy (sp?) of men in charge, how they treat the locals, how they sent troops there too, and how they brought french culture to their areas of control around the globe.

French in India? Which one?

On post 195 (jessiecat) is a picture of the Nightwatch. I think this could be the button for the Rembrandt's Masterpiece Wonder (if its comes ofcourse). It wasn't something that deals with colonies. Even the men on the picture weren't merchants or captains of ships or something what deals with colonies.

I agree. Some of the pics in the last batch are for era art or any other purpose.

 

[merijn_v1]

Ok. Then the first one is Krak des Chevaliers I think.
