Test Scenario in spectator mode

[Vadus]

hi all,

I've done a nice map and want to test it for balacing. Is it possible or is there a mod or something, which makes me able to test my map in a spectator mode ? AI players only ?

No, but you can simulate this by enabling cheatmode, and at the start of your game removing yourself and putting a settler encased in ice at the north pole. Press ctrl + z and then watch what happens. That's the best I could come up with, and it's the method I've used frequently to test changes in my mod.

Also if you'd prefer, and can incorporate SDK work, you can add in the AI autoplay feature from the Revolutions! mod. That modcomp is available seperatly. This allows you to give control of your civ to the AI. Peronally I've never liked the functionality of AI autoplay, and outside from finding CTD causing bugs, found it useless for my purposes. But alot of people think it's useful, so you can try it.
