here is a list of the things that need to be changed:

Champion should cost 1 (not 2) and have -1HP (not 0)

Clans, shamans and pioneers should cost 5 (hardy) and 3 (normal) not 6/4.

Clear Forest should have no prerequisite

Tech Rate Changes:
Tiny = 60
Small = 80
Standard = 110
Large = 140
Huge = 180

World Size Changes:
Large maps should be 130x130 and huge maps 160x160

Guys...I've been playing a game on my own this morning and got the following message when trying to build a longship: couldn't find "longboatattacka.flc". Crashing ensued. Is this me or the build?

 

[Kal-el]

second person to report that. The ini should just be "longboatattack.flc". not sure how that got changed.

 

[SirJethro]

I'm just going to wait for the next patch. BTW, the answer to whether you can play a 1.05x game after installing the 1.10x patch appears to be no. At least for me.

Hey guys, mind if I join this one? I have been eager to play a DyP succesion game since SirJethro started his first game, but couldn't because I had already played DyP before.

LaM....My preference for this SG is to keep it to players who have (1) beaten DyP on Monarchy, and (2) completed at least 1 full SG at CFC.

 

[Isak]

The next build is out now, fixing the longship bug. Sorry about that guys

There is a way to have more than one version of DyP installed. It's a bit lengthy but great if you play in any MP's using different versions. Let me know if you want that (don't want to post it in this thread)

 

[SirJethro]

Working on the new start file now....

 

[SirJethro]

HERE IS THE FIRST SAVE.

I'll post a screenie next. Nothing special about this start though. Be sure you have build 5!

As you can see, not a lot going on here. Personally, I'd put the city on the hill to the east, so we border the sea but get the most land in our radius.

 

[Quokka]

I got it and you're right its not a very pretty start.

Down the road, I think this will be a well producing city, with the BG and hills. Hopefully there are some resources or luxuries hidden that we haven't exposed yet.

How many turns for the first round?

A bug has been found in beta 5. Swordsmen don't upgrade to Medieval Infantry but skip to Musketmen.

 

[SirJethro]

10 or 20...your call. We'll just live w/ the swordsmen bug. I never build them anyway.

I have seen this BG abbreviation a few times recently. Care to spell it out to a poor, ignorant fellow

Bonus Grassland, ie Grassland with a shield or 'outcropping,' as you call it.

 

[SirJethro]

bonus grassland

 

[SirJethro]

Guys...I'm probably not going to be able to play until Monday, so unless you hear otherwise from me, skip me.

Sultan...you lurking out there? Why don't you play a few rounds with us?

 

[SirJethro]

Is there something wrong with Marketplaces in build 4? I'm playing a SP game, and I have 7 luxuries with bazaars, marketplaces, etc., but I'm only pulling one smiley per lux.

 

[Kal-el]

We dropped the doubles happiness from marketplaces because it was too easy to keep your people happy. Marketplaces now only give 3 content citizens. We are going to reintroduce the doubles happiness flag to a later improvement but have yet to determine which of the current improvements it should be added to, or if we should add a new improvement to fulfill that role.

 

[SirJethro]

Ah...good to know that.
