Basic chance for almost any building to survive in city capturing is 66% (default value) although bombardment with siege units can destroy them before this (I think) - which in my opinion is realistic. In WW I-II factories were often primary targets for bombing missions. In BtS religious buildings usually have 0% to survive capturing, I have no idea why it was made so. In my mod I've already changed some buildings survive chance to 100%, like harbor buildings and it has crossed my mind to increase the value for all normal buildings from 66% to 75%-80% due to having so many building types in this mod. Would that chance sound fair? I don't want to raise all buildings to 100% as that's not realistic or maybe it is for some building types like sewers etc. What building types do you think should have 100% survival chance? Next version already has couple new building types that do increase air defense but how much they effect in-game situation has not been tested yet. For religious buildings I've been thinking values 20% for monasteries, 30% temples and 50% cathedrals - it was quite common to destroy all temples in ancient time wars but cathedrals / bigger religious sites have had higher survival rate over time..Why are all buildings destroyed when you capture a city? I know this has always been an issue, but with the mod it is much much crippling. One of the main points of capturing a city is that it starts with infastructure. When the nazis captured paris, they didnt destroy all the granarys and skyscrapers and barracks' and universitys and salons and observatorys and butherys and markets and grocers and librarys and bazaars and factorys and assembly plants and etc., etc., etc. Seriously, why destroy EVERYTHING?
ps. Sorry for my little rant. Armys did not destroy all infastructure in a city when they captured them in real life. Why in Civ 4? I dont suppose theres a way to stop that from happening?
Now rest of industrial techs, modern + future eras left to do.
Don't think it's possible - at least not without SDK changes.is it possible to give leaders trait bonus that certain type of buildings have higher survival rate? like creative leaders would give higher rate to culture buildings, financial to the banks and so on..
Export/import system in Civ 4 is indeed quite simple. I haven't really liked how food resources are handled, they should be local resources ie. if you have fish in one coastal city, other cities shouldn't get it too since those fishes would rot before they get transported to other cities (unless you got salt). I'm not coder so I can't really improve this system myself - having food/hammer supply lines would be great though.. or supply lines for military units... maybe they'll add these kind of features to Civ 5.will there be any food export/import system, like food rich cities could supply production rich cities?
in other hand, how about material export/import system? it would work same way like food supply but increases production..
You'll need the corporation HQ and you need to spread your corporation - it's 4 gold income per city if you spread your corporation. Now if you add few gold bonus buildings and gold % -bonus Great Wonders to city where you have corporation HQ...
Haven't looked into that mod yet (actually first time I hear about it). I got tons of mods on my harddrive that I've downloaded so I could check them, just never enough time to check them all. I'll try to check that mod during this summer... trying to take bit time off from modding now that I got new patch uploaded and have some fun playing during summer months.BTW: hey Zap, have u looked into TAM(The Ancient Mediterranean) mod? there might be some buildings, units and resources that could be used for RoM..
I got few outdoor projects waiting (read: sweaty days changing one yard/garden) and hopefully some days at summer cabin... can't wait to get swimming and to go into sauna
)
. On the other side we should notice that a mod like RoM is too complicated for the AI. More buildings, more units, more resources.. etc. Humans are capable of using this to there advantage. They pile buildings of the same type in specialized cities to maximize their effects. They plan ahead but they can still change their course to use some opportunity..
