So it occured to me that there are some pretty frustrating issues with playing Civ5 as an SG. It isn't the "game" part of the gameplay that has been bothering me, rather its been the more utility side of it thats been bothering me.
It then occured to me that since this is a game that is supposed to be very moddable, then it might be possible to find some of the very talented people who post on these forums who could help create a utility mod, or mods, that would be of use to all SG players.
I'm pretty sure that there are lots of issues that people can think of.
These for me, are some of the main ones.
1. The inability to place signs like you could in Civ4 [Alt-S]
2. No dopmapping tool like the one that was used in the BUG mod. Amazing mod.
3. The TGA screenshot, rather than JPG.
4. The savegame screen is a bit pony. How can I access the folder I have my SG saves in, in game? It sould be more explorer style.
Thanks to Gyathaar we have the Deluxe save converter. Nice one.
Sadly I have no modding ability (tried in Oblivion once but I just didn't have the patients or the skills
) so this is why I need help.
If you have ideas about how to fix some of these "Unaltered Gameplay" issues, or have issues of you own then please shout it out. If you have encountered a mod that you think fits the bill for any of these issues then describe what it does and link it up!
One final thing. I posted this here before I posted anything in the modding threads as I wanted to get some feed back from SG players, and refine some ideas before making a fool out of myself, so please chip in!
