Rise And Rule Revisited (epic mod)

[eXalted]

Oh maan, at last! Downloading this right now!

 

[CorvusFortis]

Oh, yes, I haven't reread the introduction before starting.
It looked suspicious to me that only two units need saltpeter and there is no error after clicking on "Don't click" icon. I'm glad that it helped nevertheless.

This is the best comeback present you could have given me!

How come we can't toggle culturally linked start location and respawn ai players?

I'd personally rather play with both of those off but I'd like to know the reason we can't decide on or off.

Now running game with UK. Will report any problems.

Note: the civpedia entry for "Natural Port" is empty.

notimportant666, welcome at CFC.

The reason to enable to toggle culturally linked start location and respawn ai players is a simple click in the editor (here editor 1.00 should be used, that comes with the basic C3C and not editor 1.03 as it comes with the patches) in the Scenario Properties page of the editor to set the hook in the box of default game rules and to confim this by clicking on the apply and ok-key in the same page.

I disabled this option as it is not so frequently used and the supplyshipments need the victory point option enabled. Of course, if you restart a game with the default rules enabled, you can enable the victory point scoring manually, too. If civers, who are not so used to the game option settings, toy araound with these buttons it can be that they disable the needed victory point scoring and than ask why the supplyshipments are not working.

May be I should enable these options with the next biq,

jlvfr, thank you for your input. I consider an entry in the civilopedia for that resource (that replaces the old RAR Off-shore rocks), especially as this ressource will appear in CCM version 2.00, too.

Well don't take it the wrong way I was more just wondering what the reasons were for not allowing us to wipe out opponents early and start at actual random locations it's just a personal preference, if anything.

But if the mod needs those options to function properly I understand.

Possible problema: English Musketman. The description says they are "powefull defenders" but the stats are of an attacker: higher attack than defense.

 

[jlvfr]

And a bug report:

In the file \Art\Units\Auxilia\Auxilia.ini, entry for the run efect is listed as
.HorsemanRun.amb

remove the dot before the file name


edit. just realised, error here too ATTACK1=.HorsemanAttackA.amb

remove he dot before the file name

notimportant666, the current settings of the biq allow you to start on random maps in random locations and they also allow to wipe out opponents early. The wiped out opponents are even not replaced. Wiped out is wiped out and wiped out early is wiped out early in RARR.

Yes, that´s true - and also belongs to the civilopedia entries of many other flavored musketmen. jlvfr, thank you very much for reporting that error. The fix is noted for the next patch.

jlvfr, thank you very much for reporting this double-error. It seems I haven´t seen the dot in these entries any more when doing the setting of that unit very deep in the night.

The error is noted for the next patch and if we have found a lot of errors, I will do a complete update of the mainfile. But at present there are much less errors occured, than I thought. On the other side: Each error is one error to much -so let´s sort them out and thank you all for your help.

Glad to help. I will keep playing, but I fear the Uk has lost this game... I have no saltpepper or coal, and all my neighbours are 4-6 techs ahead of me...

That seems odd considering I've tried to wipe out both egypt and persia in my games and they just seem to get another capital popped up somewhere. I mean it could just be me not paying attention to their expansions but still it seems like to me they are respawing. Can anyone else confirm or deny this?

 

[jlvfr]

Found another bug: the entire "heavy artillery" unit folder is missing. Stealth artillery?

I copied a similar unit from another scenario, but the icons are wrong. Still, good enough to keep me going.

 

[jlvfr]

Another bug: the unit "Hawker Hunter" is defined somewhere as being in folder "Hawker_Hunter", not "Hawker Hunter" (which is what we get in the ZIP file); same with it's INI.

 

[jlvfr]

Another bug (am on a roll!): the "landing craft" folder does not exist.

Just downloaded. Looks like a lot of fun! However, when I tried to open the mod, I got a message saying "Missing entry in "Scenarios/../../Conquests/Conquests/NapoleonicEurope/text/Pediacolons.txt": ICON_BLDG_Palace_Garden Of course the game would have none of that and exited. I tried downloading the main file again, with the same result. Both times it told me some of the file corrupted, but I figured I'd try anyway. The same file was missing both times.
