Steph's mod

Agreed, some Americans have a bad habbit to think the world was created in 1776 by Georges Washington, is flat (centered on the US), and if you go to far, you fall

But I know. I've played a lot Europa Universalis, and Poland is one of the strongest "minor" there (stronger than some major countries).

I already have some Polish units from Cossacks (including the Winged Hussar), some planes from Wyrmshadow, a few tanks from SOE.

But 3 years ago I went to Warsaw to sell a software to Polish Civil Aviation, and they bought a competitor's software... This do play against you...

But as I said post #299, page 215, I consider adding Austria and Poland in the game (at least to thank your country for its support during Napoleonic wars). But it will be only in C3C version.

Europe

It's a Second World War mod scenario that was a long time in development and delivered well.

Tak. Mam nadzeje ze Polska juz jest w Civ 3 !
Sorry my Polish is slightly rusty (and never was much better than basic anyway).
As Steph said, if only for the Napoleonic era, you should be in !

BTW Steph, if you went only to Warszawa, I understand why you are not so fond of Poland. Now if you go to Krakow or Zakopanego...

Step, what's the horseman between the viking and the guerilla ?

Express trip... Start from Toulouse Sunday Morning. Warsaw airport at 21h, hotel 5 min from Airport, prepare demo till 24:00, at 8:00 in Civil Aviation office (at the airport, so 5 min from hotel), end of meeting at 14:00, plane back at 15:00
So I basically know Warsaw airport, that's all...
Trip to Rio was a lot more fun, as I managed to have a meeting on Friday, and another one on Monday, so I "had" to spend Saturday and Sunday visiting the city. 21°C at 6 in the morning... and it was winter there.
When my wife saw the picture of me at the top of the Paõ de Açucar with shorts, flowers shirt and sunglass, she was very sorry for me : all these hard tiring business trip...

Yes well Zakopane, Sopot is beautiful. I ve been there in this and last year. I invate all of you to Poland!


Steph, I have to tell you something. I like your mod so far. (a few hours of playing) but there is something...
Many of the units in your mod (I know you are not an author of all of them) are just.....ugly (just like many of them i SOE). So I ask. Why do you have to take all of those crapy units to your mod. Can't you just select the best ones of them?

Do not be mad for me. Am not a graphic artist but I can see the difrence between something what is done good and what is done bad...and unfortunattely many of Steph's mod units are just ugly...
Dont say that it is easy to criticise. I just want to help...


And one more thing. Two last eras in science advisor are not shown properly so my question is: will it have any affect during playing? You know - I mean: what will happen with discovering technologies?

 

[Orion66]

ok, I ve just noticed a serious bug. The game crashed becouse lack of AC_Sioux HorseArcher.INI


What can be done. Do you have some patch?

 

[Steph]

I am the author of none of the units. I simply integrates them.
I put them in the mod because I like to have a lot of variety in the games when you change civ.
I know some graphics are not so good, but replacing the graphics is relatively easy. Adding the unit takes more time.
So when a new graphics become available, I can replace old ugly graphics by the new one easily. It's a kind of "place older".

Just ouf of curiosity, what are the units you really consider ugly?

The two last eras science advisor will be done in Beta 4 (current available version is Beta 3).
The only effect it has (except graphically) is to prevent you to set a path for long terme discoveries, or to change your research once you have selected a tech.

But it will work when you discover a technology.

There is a space between "Sioux" and "HorseArcher" in your post. There shouldn't be one. Is there a typo, or do you really have a space in the message?

On my computer, it works. You can try to check in your "PTW/Scenario/Steph/Art/Units" folder, if you have the AC_SiouxHorseArcher folder, it should contains a AC_SiouxHorseArcher.ini file.
The, open PTW/Scenario/Steph/Text/Pediaicons.txt file, and search for "#ANIMNAME_PRTO_HussarAmerican"
The line below should be AC_SiouxHorseArcher.
The spelling should be the same for this 3 occurences of AC_SiouxHorseArcher.
