Some *ahem* Questions on Unit properties

[settlervstank]

1. How can someone... enhance a nuke's power?
2. How would you make the AI extremely agrressive, with the friendliest setting be the most aggresive setting in a regular game?
3. How would you make a unit capable of walking on both land and water?
4. Is it possible to create an event that would cause a nuclear explosion in a city that has a close proximity with a certain resource?
5. Would it be possible to make a nuke ignore a bomb shelter?
6. Is it possible to make a catapult/trebuchet/cannon/artillery/mobile artillery/portable SAM/etc. bombard a square so that it gives it falllout?

1:The_J made a modcomp that enhanced nukes, I believe. It made them unfathomably destructive.

But there's NUKEDESTROYBUILDINGRAND or something in globaldefines.xml.

2: I don't get that question.

3: I've tried. I don't quite understand it.

4: Not quite sure. You could cause a nuclear meltdown, though.

5: Maybe. Create a new type of nuke with a new unitclass but the same effect as a nuke, perhaps. Or maybe a new unitcombat...

6: That could probably be done somehow.

3) There are tags in UnitInfos for canMoveAllTerrain (or similar) and canMoveImpassable.

4) Only with python.

6) Only with python, but the AI will completely not understand it.

BTW, How is there a limit to how powerful a unit can be?

BTW, How is there a limit to how powerful a unit can be?

Yes. ∞. (Infinity)

 

[settlervstank]

Yes. ∞. (Infinity)

Excellent...

 

[settlervstank]

Now, about that nuke rand thing... does it also have a limit of infinity?
\

 

[Jarlaxe Baenre]

100 is the limit, I believe. It's a percentage.

 

[settlervstank]

Great... Now, how do I increase the area of fallout produced by a nuke?

 

[God-Emperor]

I think the fallout area is controlled by the iNukeRange value.

 

[settlervstank]

How long can the game last? Is there a limit?

 

[Jarlaxe Baenre]

Just turn off Time Victory in Custom Game.

Just turn off Time Victory in Custom Game.

You didn't understand what I said. I want to know how far I can go with time victory on.

 

[God-Emperor]

The game turn is probably stored as an unsigned 32 bit integer, so the theoretical upper limit would be 4,294,967,295 turns based solely on that.

But you'd die of old age long before then.

The answer for any specific mod is that the turns until the time limit depends on how the mod has that set. It is controlled in CIV4GameSpeedInfo.xml in the GameTurnInfos section for each game speed. The total turns before the end of the game for the time victory is the sum of the iTurnsPerIncrement values for all of the GameTurnInfo parts.
