Rhye's of Civilization - the fastest loading mod Expanded

[Rhye]

tacfun-> I know, the mod has improved constantly. Do you remember how 2.0 was?

jaguar->don't worry, I've already decided what civ will be removed and what civ will be included

 

[Jaguar]

Care to give us a hint?

IMO Sumer should go rather than Babylon if you want to take out a Mesopotamian civ. Mostly because the Sumerians were done for by 1600 BC or so, well before the majority of the civs in your mod came into being.

 

[Tyrion]

Bring in the New Zealanders!!!! I think that would be cooler.

 

[tacfun]

Ya, I remember 2.0 and how much fun I had!

You guys are real pros! I gotta hand it to you, I couldn't get better customer service from my own friends if I begged them! I just downloaded WinRar, which would have been my NEXT question (it looks like our reputation preceded us! -- Civ 2 diplo quote)! Since it takes roughly two hours with my sucky modem to attempt to download anything this size, I'll start it right before I go to bed and let you know how it worked in the morning! Again, thanks a bunch! I can't WAIT to play this mod!

SilverKnight

P.S. Yes, I would like the .RAR version of v2.49 please and thank you!

 

[Rhye]

silverknight -> winrar should open zips. Try. If you stil have problems, let me know, I'll uploaded the rar

tacfun-> sometimes I look at 2.0: it's incredible how many bugs there were and how many things added with the patches were missing

 

[Rhye]

the new civ:
well, you (jaguar) mentioned both the new civ and the civ to be replaced. So, it's not new zealand.
Another hint? I'm waiting for a unit for that civ which is being made

 

[Jaguar]

I'm gonna take a guess that Israel will be the new civ. It's the only civ I mentioned that is conspicuously missing a UU.

 

[Rhye]

For those who doesn't know - R8FTX just posted NAPOLEON!!!!

This is a must have.

Now the question: how many of you can afford a mandatory heavy download?
I'm unsure if:
-including it in the main mod (which would increase its size from 12MB to 32MB) with a 2.5 patch,
-or wait the expansion pack (not before september) which already is many MBs
-make an Expansion pack #1 with Napoleon and perhaps Justinian and call the Xpack I'm preparing Expansion pack #2. In this way the basic version will still be 12MB. This is not my favourite solution, as I would have to update 3 versions in case of a small fix :angry:

I agree cause Jesus was from Jerusalem and Jerusalem is in Israel. Our calendar is base on this guy I think it's a important part of our world and religion.

 

[Horton]

I'd like too see a Pacific or South Asian civ if one gets added. Something a little more exotic that will fill up some empty space on the map. Israel or Poland are interesting suggestions but their parts of the world are pretty full atm.

I'm writing an Arab guide tonight. Their tuning in 2.49 really helped them.

for a moment forget the added civ...I need some feedback about today news.
I've written above the three choices about Napoleon.
BTW, I've found a perfect King unit!

Where is the preview of Napoleon ? Curious to see what someone did after what i did. Maybe this time you guys will be more flexible about that.

I'm sorry for the time you spent in trying to make it.
But you see...if you don't complete it and post it...the effort is gone.

Some complain about the nose and i decide to stop trying to make you guys happy by losing lot and lot of time on the nose (almost a week). My napoleon is done since a while and i'm using it since a couple week already.

If i compare this one to mine, i must say that mine is better quality but this one look more like napoleon. Like i told you, i don't have any solution to upload it somewhere, don't have FTP, don't have enough space on my website so i just abandon the idea, i don't wanna pay for that. I'm glad someone find a solution, but not sure if i will use it cause i actually really like my napoleon.

I can afford a heavy download. Cable internet is great!

Era-specific?

 

[ibcoltscrew]

Era-specific?

Yes i have done all the era-specific. Maybe some could be better but the main one is well done. The only one that i don't like is the first of all, but for the time i can see it, it doesn't really matter to me.

 

[Rhye]

I didn't know that you made all the eras. Why did you keep it secret?
Please show some previews!

 

[Rhye]

I have decided what to do with the downloads.
Napoleon will be in the basic mod (mandatory). But in future I will not delete the 2.4 to 2.5 patch and the 2.49 version, so that one with a 56k modem can make the v2.5 downloading 2 separate files (and then patch again in case of future patches)
And I'd like to see Ibcoltscrew's Napoleon...never say never
