What about Civics? Does that go under "Features added"? How is that going anyways?

 

[NikNaks]

Ah, well spotted. I missed events as well

EDIT: Fixed.

As for the progress of Civics, I think what we have has been generally accepted.

 

[hevehoc]

i can't wait until this is out, i'm very sad that i don't know how to mod yet if i knew i would have helped in any way! I long very much for this mod.

 

[NikNaks]

If you want to help out, you could play around with the XML and learn a little modding. That's how I learned

 

[hevehoc]

ok but i dont know anything about XML things, i am not sure what it is acctualy, but i'll check around at the tutorials.

 

[Amogos]

My guess is you copy and past thing into the Assets folder of civ and creat a diferent one using the same codes as regularly.

 

[hevehoc]

ok it sounds like scripting for Empire Earth II, i tried it once.

 

[NikNaks]

Amogos, do you want to do some modding?

 

[Amogos]

Mod? Mod.. Mod! No, I'm very lazy and am busy writing a book.

 

[hevehoc]

hehe, may i ask what it is about?

 

[Amogos]

A guy, and he does this thing... yes this is how I answer everyone.

Think 10,000 BC but way less real and way more interesting.

 

[hevehoc]

how long have you come?

 

[NikNaks]

Not very far

Anything I could work on?

(good learner and ideas-come-up-with -er, decent mapmaker, bad modder [I guess I *could* in theory take some time and learn SDK, but don't expect too much in the first few years)

 

[Skell Jell]

Maybe mapmaking

 

[Agent327]

Check out the Map thread 1st.

 

[Skell Jell]

Checked out the Map thread

 

[Skell Jell]

Map thread is good. But it's only on the crusades. It could be included.
