Damn those 2^x workers are funny :D
256 workers...256 WORKERS!!! :eek:
Turns are taking longer than usual :p :mischief:
 
Rhye, have you considered an alternative for 2-pop workers, such as giving them a defense strength so they are not capturable?
 
Im still not sure about this new timeline thing. Before when I played earlier version there was at times an uncanny paralel with history - now Im playing the Cartaginians, I didnt realy go for America (focussing on Africa), yet I was the first to discover it in 1700, and the first European colony popped up there in 1820 (which I would say is rather late).
 
Re Rhye :)

I tested the randomization of 2.46

The result of my choice :

- Standard 100x100
- Pangaea
- Moderate in the three parameters ...

The result is very honest :

- Civ Start are well placed
- Only a few civ forced to nomadism in start

I love the fact that have a few civs nomadics

Rhye if you can't assure perfect random map, can you create fictive 100x100 worlds ? Warning : worlds should be as natural and varied as possible :crazyeye:

What do you think ?
 
tech doesnt seem to be going fast either this game. Im the most advanced civ with my Carthaginians, its 1956 and Ive discovered up to Nationalism and Steam Power :/
 
Hi all,

Really looking forward to playing what looks like a great mod, but I am having problems getting it working. I have copied the files to the \\conquests\scenarios folder as instructed in the readme, and started the game. When I try and start the mod from the scenarios folder it attempts to start the game but then stops with the following error:

missing entry in "text\PediaIcons.txt":ICON_BLDG_Holy_War

Am I missing something here? Is it required to copy certain files in the archive to different folders?

Any help would be muchly appreciated! :thanx:
 
Yrgsoth (what a difficult name to spell, what it is?)->No. All you have to do is download the main file into the scenarios folder. But you have to patch your conquests to 1.22, first of all. That could be the problem.

bjorn -> so that's your game. In my tests Steam Power is reached in mid-late 1700.

lachlan-> umm, a pangea.What land/sea ratio is that?
My random map version would be ready...it only has one problem: I must adjust the tech rate and the techs cost because they don't work. Sometimes some civs reach Industrial age in 1900, sometimes in 1500, depending on my changes and on the size of the map. It only needs this balance, and it's such a boring thing to do....

I 've play with Roman, French, German, Spanish, American, Arabia and the tech line seem to be almost perfect. I am most of the time the most advance civ (if it's not france or germany :mad: )and i discover steam power around 1600-1700 :scan: ...

Maybe it's the way you play :crazyeye: or the difficulty level :king: ... Try to raise the difficulty and everything should be fine.
 
1600 is early. What level are you playing?

The correct should be:

around 470 -> entering middle ages
around 1500 -> discovery of America
mid 1700 -> entering industrial age
mid 1900 -> entering modern times

Conquests is already at v1.22. Inside the zip archive that I downloaded was a .bic file, which I presume is what you mean by 'the main file'. In that case, shall I delete all the .flc, .pcx etc files that are also in the archive? I find that hard to believe...

ibcoltscrew, any chance of writing strategy guides for the civs you've played? They'll figure in the site.

I'm not good enough in english to write a good strategy :sad: but i can always try and post it here ;) . Maybe you could correct it and fix it to make it clear in english. ( :nuke: i hope you know what i mean :nuke: )
I'm using the same startegy for France, Spain, England, Germany and Austria... :lol: Things change with America, Iroquois, Egypte and Arabia... :crazyeye:

Lets try something else... EXTRACT RoC_v246.zip on the desktop... after, open C:\Program Files\Infogrames Interactive\Civilization III\Conquests\Conquests (or wherever you install the game) and CUT and PAST the BIC and the Folder with the same name as the BIC in your Conquest/Conquest Folder...

1. Extract RoC_v246.zip on your desktop
2. You should see Rhye's of Civilization v2.45.biq and a folder Rhye's of Civilization.
3. Now open Program Files\Infogrames Interactive\Civilization III\Conquests\Conquests
4. Cut and Past the BIC and the Folder there.
5. Start the game, choose Conquest and Rhye's of civilization 2.46... Enjoy.

I hope it help.
 
Lachlan ... I just try your Random Map and i don't think it's a good idea to make the map smaller. I've start with the american and i was close... not close like you think... but VERY close to 5 other civilization (France, Mongol, Iroquois, Spain and Germany) And i was only able to build 2 city.

With 2 city there is nothing to do except behind rape in the ass :sad: . So, i've play an half-hour, after about 10 turn, France declar war on me for no reason(like all the time)... they destroyed Washington and New-York in 2 turn. End of the game... Half hour of fun(or not).

I gonna wait the Rhye's version. Nice try ;)
