SLower Tech + other balances mod.

[Dearmad]

Yeah updated version of the DOM. advisor was needed.

 

[AbramsGunner]

Just letting you know that i am looking forward to the v1.52 compability mod. Great work, truly enjoying it.

 

[Mikkeman]

Yeah, hoping that update comes soon. Great work Dearmad. Best mod for civ IV. Keep up the good work.

 

[Flatline23]

Me too! Tried to play a vanilla game after the patch and was just like.. bleh!

Love this mod

 

[Molock]

I have installed both 1.09 and 1.52 and text will not appear in most parts of the game. I copied the mod into the civ4 directory in the mod folder. Then I extracted it there and the same problem. Was the mod not supposed to work with one of the patches?

Yeah, me too. What gives? I was working on my own mod and now it has the same problem.

Cheers,

[mandrake05]

Is the mod compatible with 1.09?

 

[naf4ever]

Whenever i hit advanced and load up the mod it restarts Civ4 with no text on the menus. So i cant even see the "play game" , "multiplayer game" etc,, options but the arrows still sort of blink where the text should be. What is causing this?

The mod worked fine for me until i updated the patch...

 

[alexk14]

I am also experience problem after upgrading my game to the version 1.52.
When the game restarts after selecting the mod - all menu texts became invisible. With older vesions it worked fine.

 

[Dearmad]

Updated mod and renamed it (since I had to completely rewrite it). It now works with 1.52 patch, and I introduced a few other changes that further increased the fun for me.

Read the FIRST post in this thread and d/l it from there.

 

[Flatline23]

Woot! Thanks for the updates, now I can play civ4 again hehe...

 

[Dearmad]

Another update. Gleened through some other mods and found a few little changes I liked- some of them I adapted or modified to better work with my mod. Most are minor changes laods of people are doing, but a few are noted with a credit (like the desert/arctic warfare promo).

v1.1 on the front page now.

 

[mayonaise]

great, love your work

 

[mayonaise]

if someone could merge this with true prophets and settler religion mods i would be a happy man... for awhile at least!

i gave it a go but i just dont have the computer skills

 

[Dearmad]

This MOD is now updated for v1.61 patch of CIV IV. I've tested it, but not as thoroughly as I usually do, so report in with problems. Try to isolate and prove them first, though, as I don't have tons of time right now to make changes and invetigate general reports like: "SOmething's wrong with the trees."

Enjoy.

Oh, it works with EPIC games too, but I really fine tune it for NORMAL- which now plays like EPIC SHOULD have originally, IMO.

 

[Conqueror Worm]

Can mods such as this play on the huge earth 180x67 maps made by switches or aeric67, or does it come with a huge real earth map of its own?

 

[Dearmad]

I would think if you want to play on a map it should work fine. I modded the game, not maps.

And no, I didn't include any special maps with this mod- just xmls, and a tiny few graphics.

 

[ilteroi]

i just wanted to say thanks, cause this is my favorite mod. not a lot of changes, but in the right places.

are you still working on it? if so, what direction do you want to take it? is there an easy way to integrate it with cIV gold?

 

[Dearmad]

Thanks for enjoying it!

Integrate with CIV gold? I've been lost in grad school... is there a new version of Civ IV? I updated this mod for the latest patch and imagine it works with the latest versions available by retail. Tell me more and I may be able to help you.

As for the future: no real huge changes, the few things I'm still unsatisfied with are:

1: Religion is too vanilla... and just plays as an advantage and diplomatic friction between nations... I want it to be more meaningful, but I'm not sure how I want to do this... no mod out there i've seen does what Iwould want.

2: Minor adjustments to the pacing as I encounter things that could be tweaked... as it is the balance is pretty delicately done, so I don't imagine many changes here.

3: Continue to monitor the government options to ensure that there are at least a few tempting reasons to be a monarchy or communist country late in the game... so far I think this is reasonably balanced.

4: Update it when the xpack comes out.

If you have input or things that could be added, let me know. Keep in mind the spirit of the mod isn't to make huge changes, add loads of meaningless units/techs/nations, but rather to add some flavor to each age, allow some time to be spent in each age, increase the challenge to the human without breaking the AI.

 

[Dearmad]

Ok, a minor update but worth the d/l if you're using v1.2. Check out the front page to d/l it!

Fixed the techsplash problem.

One little detail: you SHOULD be able to implement this update in your current savegames without a problem. So going from v1.2 to 1.3a will not matter to your game.

Let me know if there are any problems.
