Slozengers Mini Mod. Faster than Rhyes ;)

[Abaddon]

A nice, neat first attempt at a mod.

Ive simply added three techs:


Mining as a pre for Bronze
Road Building as a pre for Wheels
Irrigation as a pre for construction


Basically its the first mod ive done with civpedia, proper icons, and the science screen modded to look fine.


It doesnt do much, but i wanted to see if i could actually do everything required to add techs.

If you try it, please report back if i have missed anything!


oh, and it loads 100% faster than RHYE'S*

*that is to say, it works faster as its based on random maps

Version two added, extra tech, still no science screens until thunderfall gets back to me.

The File:

Click on upload file at the bottom of the page and/or zip it if you haven't already.

zipped and its still 1.8MB.. which my upload says is too big


#edit: Cut out the mods advisor screens id made.. cuts the size down a lot!

for larger files you send a pm to Thunderfall who runs the site. He can set you up with an upload that he controls.

hello,

what did you change to the rules to make it faster? You didn't write any readme with the changelog, and I can't see anything in the biq...

 

[Abaddon]

well its lacking all the civs + the world map you created, which is why all mods suffer speed problems. Mine still uses the same size maps, same number of civilizations on the map at the same time..

mine uses random maps, i havnt set it to a specific map you see.


My faster than Rhye's claim stands.. but they just because its such a didy mod!


anyway, its much updated.. irrigation tech was floating offscreen! (didnt realise til after i posted)

but i cant upload new version til thunderfal gets back to me, its getting to big now ( at a wooping 2mb+ )

 

[Rhye]

well, of course....mine is faster than any other mod or scenario based on a fixed map. I never claimed that it's faster than a random map. In fact, you can obtain a 300% faster mod with 2 civs in the same time on a 30x30 map...but the real good thing was when you can still use a big map and many civs.

I think you should write a readme.
So, if I've understood correctly, it's the standard biq with 2 new techs?
In this case, it is as fast as the standard game (and that's good).

it's the standard biq with 2 new techs?

Its my first attempts at modding and its 3 techs *snif* and everything needed with them civpedia etc.


OF course its faster, but thats why theres a smiley in the title. It stands to reason it works faster, its still very close to the original map.

My claim is posed just to raise more awareness, because yours is so famous people might just look at mine.

I want people to try it, it would only take 5 mins, and see if ive missed pedia entrys etc.



It will get bigger, more polished, but it will remain my baby, and i more the tweaks to the game i want, rather than a whole new game like ur mod.

 

[Rhye]

I didn't want to put you down Just wanted to know if you discovered some new way to make it faster.

However, my main suggestion is to write a readme.
You could also think of something nobody ever thought of. You don't need to make a whole new mod to make it interesting. When you find a unique idea, it is really your baby.

Nice logo, BTW.
