Rhye's of Civilization - the fastest loading mod Expanded

[Blasphemous]

Oh, on a completely unrelated note, we should rename the Modern Paratrooper to either "Airborne Infantry" or "Airborne Cavalry", as those names are closer to what people actually call them... I mean, nobody ever says "yeah, I'm in the army, I'm a modern paratrooper..."

 

[Rhye]

blas, can you attach here the fonts you used to write indian and chinese comments?

 

[Barak]

blas, great pictures. But who controls north africa and arabia?

 

[Barak]

a nice idea. but I don't think thunderfall will agree

well, I accept any of his decisions (except cutting or deleting the thread!).
I've created the index BTW. It contains the links to the main "chapters"

Rhye, where are the links to the chapters?

Oh, and any German-speaking readers: if I didn't write province names correctly, tell me the correct way... I'm still a beginner, so I had very limited tools to use when naming places.

Well, actually you hardly used any "province names" at all but just direction prefixes for country names
Other than that, I only found two mistakes:
1. Hungary's called Ungarn not Ungar
2. Nobody says [insert country name]szentrum (nor the technically correct "[name]s Zentrum"). Maybe "Mitteldeutschland", although I'd simply stick to "Berlin". What's wrong with city names?

@Rhye: The fonts are both from www.dafont.com. The one I used for India is called "Electroharmonix" and the one I used for China is called "Chinese Takeaway".

@Barak: The western 2/3 of North Africa are controlled by Carthage. East of that there's a small no-man's-land (left over from some war Carthage was in, possibly with England) and then one English city just west of Egypt. I control Egypt and recently I founded the Suez Canal. Arabia is all-Arab at the moment... For a while China and Spain had cities there, but at some point in the Great War (the world vs. Spain) those cities switched hands, and eventually I took one that the English had nuked and gifted it to the Chinese after a while... But they abandoned it or it was destroyed or something. And India controlled one Arabian city for a bit a while ago, but the Arabs took it back. It would have been far more interesting to fight the Indians back then, when they had southern Iran and northern Arabia... Now it'll just be a simple invasion of the subcontinent. (Though I will make it very interesting, using paratroopers liberally.)

Well, they *are* province names, they just don't use a very original naming convention. =P
But if you have something more like real province names, of the sort that could be used by such a large empire, I'd like to hear them.
Anyway, I don't want any city names, since on this scale it's kinda stupid to name a thing "Berlin" when the land that it uses sprawls the entire northern third (or even half) of Germany and some of western Poland.
Anyway, should I replace all the "[]szentrum" with "Mittel[]"? Is there some other universally correct way to say "central [countryname]"?

that's a great site!

 

[Blasphemous]

Yup. Ever since I've found it, I've never looked for English fonts anywhere else.

Ryes, you posted:

1.CIV III - basic
2.Update Civ3 to 1.29
3.CIV Conquest - basic
4.Update Conquest to 1.22
5.Install RoCX with the installer[/QUOTE]

Did 1 - 4, but downloaded RoCX in 5 parts. Did this make a difference?

This mod is indispensible. I have an older PII Laptop that I still use when I travel. Loaded C3C on it but most mods take forever to load. This mod however loads well and plays well. Now I can take Civ with me where ever I go. Great job.

No, if you install it correctly.

you must unzip first the 4 RoC parts and then the 5 RoCX parts into the Conquests\scenarios folder

 

[Procrastinator]

i'll put them in the new thread

Can you put them on your homesite also?

I have done this, even wiped everything (including CIV3 & C3C and reinstalling them with appropriate patches) and still get the same error message on the Ancient Settler. The error appears to be in whatever "art" file contains that entry. Which part does? I'll re-download that part & keep trying.

J.P.Jones

 

[Rhye]

there isn't an "ancient settler" included. It's the settler animation. So, check if you've got the settlers folder inside Civilization III\art\units

For your province names like (Deutschlands)zentrum you could say Zentral(deutschland). It´s not typical, but sometimes used.

The position of Ostfrankreich is in my opinion more Swiss (in german Schweiz).
Ungar(n) should be Österreich - Österreich could be Southern Germany (Süddeutschland or the province name Franken or Bayern).

ANNOUNCEMENT:

After speaking with Thunderfall, I decided to let him close this thread anyway, even if there was the chance to keep it open and slow down all the forum.
I thank Rocoteh for his support in this matter; thanks to him it would have been possible to save it.
But in the end I think we can sacrifice it: the max number of posts was already achieved and I doubt that any other thread will come even close to this record; and the poll is stable now: since 6 months the first row fluctuates from 65% to 66%.

Making the thread sticky will lose some of the usefulness of closing it, but I'd prefer...

Anyway, we can arrive to 5999 posts, so that I'll leave the 6000th to the moderator closing post.
And I'd also like to reach 300 voters in the poll, OR 200 voters of the first row, see what you can do
