Rhye's of Civilization - the fastest loading mod Expanded

[Godmachine]

Hmmm.. the mod works just fine, except that the load times are... slow.

 

[juballs2001]

i still cant get it to work, can u tell me exactly what u did god machine?

 

[Godmachine]

Did you check out my post on the last page about where to put what files? Also, if you have the expansion, the original will not work (at least not for me)

this is exactly what i did
i put the original thing in the civ content folder, i uzipped the expansion and placed the files art sound and text in the folder within civ content. howvere i found 2 art folders so i over wrote them, i dont think i should have done that but u said overwrite whatever it asks, i then put the 2 expansion shortcuts random map and world map in the civ content folder, i attempted to load and i now get the statue of liberty problem, in the pedia icons thing

Must be your computer. They are fast for me compared to other mods.

I can't take this, how do I get my worker back at the start?
I was not good enough at the regular civ to beat regent. This is more of a handicap I can bear at this time. I know I should be ashamed, but oh well I said it.

JB, did you put the files into the RoC file (which is wrong) or did you dump them into C3C scenarios?

C:\Program Files\Infogrames Interactive\Civilization III\Conquests\Scenarios

That is the default location of the scenarios folder, and where you should be putting everything (I am being really basic here, as I have no clue how much you know ;p)

I am not certain, but I believe we are still experiencing a bug where you have to pull everything out of the original RoC folder, *moving it into the scenarios folder* and delete the now empty RoC folder.
{Everything else should be put into the scenarios folder WITHOUT changing ANYTHING.}

If you have done all that, we will need someone else to help you ;p

Playing as Spain and having trouble killing the last Portugese city... failing to follow my own advice about arty was a baaaaad plan...

However, I am speeding along toward the Conquest! Soon, the Atlantic will be a Spanish lake, and the Spanish Main will be full of... nothing really, since we never implemented treasures... ;p

Since Rhye is planning to ditch us hardcore, is anyone here anywhere near him in production quality? If we can keep this team together, I think we could produce some really awesome historical scenarios based on the mod. It would be a lot easier if a certain slacker... *cough* RHYE *cough* were to keep going ;p

I gueeeess you could say he earned a break... but really, do you think we should let him have one? ha...ha...ha...

;p

Just a few gameplay questions, as I am doing better than before but still not owning all


1. How do you guys get into wars without 'offending' other civs with them "hearing what we did to the ...."?

2. Do you wait for war until you have many units of many different kinds?

3. How much do you build city improvements, etc.

4. What kinds of tax % do you use?

5. What are the easiests civs?

I KNOW they are stupid questions, but I am a poor newbie and really really enjoy the mod.

Oh, and Great Job Rhye!

thanks

1) Do not break deals with the enemy, and do not have troops in their territory when you declare war.

2) Most of the time, yes... at least in the many units department

3) A LOT!

4) Very low, but that depends on what your strategy is

5) Rome, England, Japan, Germany, Arabia

6) No question can be as stupid as the person asking it... or at least thats what my history teacher tells me ;p

Edit the scenario file so you start off with a worker.

America and China are also easy civs, if you can bear being behind in tech but dominating your region.

Can someone help me?

I've downloaded the base RoC and the 1.01 expansion pack and put them into the Conquest scenarios directory like this:
...\Conquests\Scenarios\Rhye's of Civilzation\Rhye's of Civilization Expansion pack v1.01.biq
...\Conquests\Scenarios\Rhye's of Civilzation\art\...
...\Conquests\Scenarios\Rhye's of Civilzation\sounds\...
...\Conquests\Scenarios\Rhye's of Civilzation\text\...

The expansion pack content has been moved into the art, sounds and text directories above as well.

However, I'm getting this error when playing the game:
Load Error
File Not Found
"Art\Units\Slinger\../Archer/ArchVicYell.wav"
AUDIO

I can't even find that file on my harddrive. Was this "ArchVicYell.wav" file even in the any of the zip files?

Thanks.

Alright, here is my status report with England version 1.00 expansion.

It is the year 1488 and Israel, France, Rome, Greece, and I are the tech leaders. Currently Greece and I are tied with Humanism, Merchantilism, Physics, and Military Tradition as our top techs. Greece has 8600 gold, I have 1800 gold, and everyone else I know has less than 250 gold. I would have much more gold if I hadn't gone on my recent extended streak of buying settlers. I find it interesting that Israel is a leading power, while Arabia has just entered the Middle ages, contrary to what most people have seen in their games.

I populated the British Isles peacefully, getting three cities on mainlaind England and one on Ireland. I also peacefully settled a city on Scandanavia, just above present-day Denmark. Aroud 900AD the French decided to attack me by landing, and I barely fought them off. Before the end of the war I then landed in France and took their city on the tip of France, west of Paris, across the English channel. It was a glorious day for the English horse archers.

I then built an army of knights, and sucessfully conquered the weak Netherlands, making the English Channel and the North Sea a British lake.

Contact was made with America around 1400AD, not too far off historically, just 100 years. I have made 4 colonies so far, two in the caribean, one in South America, and one in South Africa. As stated before, these efforts have been substantially helped by my rush purchasing of settlers.

I think every country is currently oligarchic republic just to let you know. France and Greece are the two countries who are the most powerful other than me, yet I have not yet met Austria and Persia who look strong from their territory.

Thats all for now, I'll probably submit a post-game report when I finish this game up.


Oh, and one more thing, a German junk attacked one of my cities. That seemed extremely weird to me, probably a bug, sounds like we are going back to civ2 days.

When I opened up the editor for RoCX 1.01, the monestary does not give 3 happy faces.

Furi, quote from above. Basically, what you did was entirely wrong... sorry ;p

 

[siebertt]

Yeah, I'd like to see some screenshots before I download this. I would like a faster loading time, but good graphics is more important to me.

 

[furikuri]

Oops... I thought that was what I was supposed to do. heh

Okay, so I guess what I'm supposed to do is move all the files from the "Rhye's of Civilzation" directory and move them directly into the scenarios directory?

I'll give that a try. Thanks

Edit: Just tried to do that... the game wouldn't even load now.

I just noticed I typed something wrong... my directory structure is actually:
...\Conquests\Scenarios\Rhye's of Civilization Expansion pack v1.01.biq
...\Conquests\Scenarios\Rhye's of Civilzation\art\...
...\Conquests\Scenarios\Rhye's of Civilzation\sounds\...
...\Conquests\Scenarios\Rhye's of Civilzation\text\...

Is that not correct?

I tried doing the following too but it still wouldn't work:
...\Conquests\Scenarios\Rhye's of Civilization Expansion pack v1.01.biq
...\Conquests\Scenarios\art\...
...\Conquests\Scenarios\sounds\...
...\Conquests\Scenarios\text\...

The readme has some graphics, downloadable here: http://rhyesciv.uw.hu/download.html

But you'll find the graphics to be on par with normal civ 3 graphics if not better because of the flavour units.

I just finished a game. It took me awhile but I take my time and do quite a bit of micromanaging. I won the space race so I didn't go all the way to 2050. Next game as the Portuguese!! This is a great mod!!

5. What are the easiests civs?

I would add France, too.
