Rhye's of Europe Civ Discussion Thread

Too much of a good thing can be a bad thing. You had all the olives right next to Cordoba, that leaves all the hills without mines and drastically lowers the production. I will add olives to Sardinia, but I think 2 is enough for Spain.

If you're going to put one in Sardinia then there should be another one in Spain, anywhere in southern Spain- maybe next to Seville or Valencia. Italy and the islands should have the same amount of olives as Spain. 2 in the islands alone would throw off the balance IMO. So either add both or keep it as is, I'm fine with either.

Hi Mike. I guess you've noticed that our old comrade st. lucifer is back after a long break. But no modders for now as 3Miro won't be available for several weeks. So I guess the next Alpha will have to wait till the end of this month when sedna17 is back. Just to let you know.

 

[Michael Vick]

Yep, I read the RFCE veteran modder homecoming thread.

 

[micbic]

I will try to release Alpha 6.5 (what better chance to learn coding). Apart from new maps, Venice new UHV and the fix in the Polish one, what else needs fixing in your opinion (tho I only guarantee for the first)?

 

[Michael Vick]

Could you maybe change the Burgundy spawn date to 880? It might be too hard to make the rest of the changes that go along with it like starting units, techs, etc. though.
Also move the olive resource in Tunisia 1 tile East, as right now it's on the spawn tile of Tunis.
There's too much AA access near Gibraltar right now, take out the one off Rabat and leave the one next to Cadiz plz.

Great work guys, what you guys have done is really impressive, but I was wondering if you have a forum just for downloading newest versions of this mod?

RFC Europe Files thread. Ist. post. You can download the latest version there. (Alpha 6). Make sure you have the 3.19 version of BTS installed first.

where can I find this RFC Europe files thread?

Same page as this thread is, about halfway done. Anyway I'll bump it up to the top.

The first one is beyond my capabilities (so you will have to wait for 3Miro or sedna). The WB changes will be done surely (I prefered moving the olive 1N rather than 1E, it would 'kill' the grassland by river tile )

Do you think Valencia is in the right place on the map? I think moving it 1N would be better. What about you?

 

[youtien]

And where's potato? Will grocer include olives?

There's a lot of coast between Valencia and Barcelona. You don't want it too far north. Anyway, both tiles are tagged as Valencia AFAIK.

Potatoes don't appear in Europe until nearly 1600, as they weren't imported from the Americas until then.

I am talking about the indy city of Valencia, not the city names given on the tiles

 

[The Turk]

I was wondering, if at the right time like around the time of the Cloumbian Exchange do new "New World" resources appear on the map? for example potatoes for the Irish etc?

Placing it more north would leave very little room to fit in the cities of Tortosa and Tarragona between there and Barcelona's 4 tiles. There isn't room for even one more city there now.

They should appear in England, France, Spain and Germany after 1600. They didn't reach Ireland until much later. I don't think that's been coded in yet. And I don't think there were any other New World resources grown in Europe until long after 1800.

Well, I suppose you are right. On the other hand, moving Valencia one N means that you can get a better city south of it.

I know. But when will it be introduced? After a civ finished a N.America colonial program?
