SLower Tech + other balances mod.

[1449]

Hi All,

I'm new to the Civ Fan Center and have a question about playing this mod. I have unzipped New Balance v1.3a and created a new folder in

CivIV/Mods/New Balance

After load a mod the game restarts and in the upper right corner it shows New Balance v1[1].3a but when I start a new game (single player - play now ) none of the features of the mod New Balance v1[1].3a seems to be working. Do I do something wrong? Please advise!

Thankx

How do you know none of the features are working? What specifically tells you so.

Also, try deleting the contents of the folder: civ4\cache\

not the actual folder but every file in it, then restart the game.

Hey Dearmad, just wanted to let you know that I recently had a chance to play with this mod and it's great. I like a lot of the tech changes you did, many make so much sense it's a wonder they weren't in the original game. Especially I like the civics changes, finally there's actually a reason to switch under different circumstances (in vanilla I pretty much have my favorite choice for each civic and as soon as I get it I rarely change it ).
One thing to note here, and forgive me if I'm mistaken 'cause I don't have civ4 in front of me right now, but I don't think you changed the Bureaucracy civic (or whichever one gives 50% hammer/gold bonus to capital), and it feels a bit lackluster in comparison to the other civics.

Huh. I'll look at it today and see how they all play out again.

Glad you like the mod.

Really a great mod ! I enjoy playing it !

However, I met two problems on the last version :
- I was never able to build the Eiffel Tower in none of my cities... And finally, another one built it very late... (The wonder appeared in grey in the building list)
- I tried to consummed a great person to discover the nuclear fission. The guy disappeared but I didn't get my new techno ! I had to discover it in the usual way (btw I'm not sure that this is not a problem from the vanilla game...)

You took out the biggest laugh in the game, for me anyway. I love having to invent bureaucracy to get paper!

Eiffel tower:
Not a bug I've run in to. I build it in almost every game I play. Any other mods installed?

Tech rush:
Look carefully. I lowered the effect that great people have in researching new techs- you get less points. So you got a lot of research points for the tech, but not the entire tech. This is how it was in vanilla too, anyway.

Heh. Well, there are enough laughs left in the game, I'm sure, for it to be fun.

Bumped because I uploaded v1.4. Barring bad errors/bugs this is the LAST update for this mod ever- switching over to Warlords version of this mod and it'll be in a new thread. Enjoy the update.
