You can change your status in your users cp. And Yom stop posting so many posts, just write it all in one post.
 
sorry, I noticed that I was writing a bunch of posts, it's just because I realize stuff after I write it as well as I was expecting ppl to reply. Plus, I thought that you had to post a certian number of times to change your status.

7 minutes later...
Maybe it's just me, but whenever I go to my User CP, whether I'm logged in or not, the site says I don't have permission to go there and need to login first.

One last edit...
Btw, I know you're supposed to change the active player to change who you play as, but I can't get it to work. I go to "set active player" and put it on the civ I want to play as (both by name: ex. Red Sea Kingdoms and Player 9(Red sea Kingdoms)) and even go to scenario properties and go to player and change it to the one I want to play as. However, even when I save and start up civ3, japan's the default.
 
Go to the default player, then uncheck the humna player flag, then go to the civ you wanna play and check the human player flag.Its as easy as that.

Now i think about you might need 30 to change your status, but i dont really remember.
 
ok, thanks a lot yoda, I got it to work. Also, (I know you're not that far yet, but...) when you get there, the Axumites had Writing well before 250 B.C. as well as having a monarchy in place. Furthermore, they should have construction too, as they built a dam near Metera or Kohaito (can't remember which) in 500 B.C. Thanks again.

Edit...I think they built another dam in Marib, and the Axumites were well-known for their architectural skill and high-level of technology, which is why i suggested that they know the aforementioned advances.
 
Yom, I have checked many history textbooks and ancient atlas' and your cities are true. I'm trying to figure out the correct placement myself but what coordinates did you place them on?

Yoda, The Axumite Empire should be known as the Axumite Kingdom, I've seen it labeled as a kingdom more than an empire in the many atlas' and text books I found them in. You might be able to add Lalibela (X:79, Y:163).. I'm not sure if it's completely historical accurate but that city has been around since B.C times and if you don't add it just add it to the city name list.
 
I was a bit off on my first coordinates, but I'm a bit busy this week, so I can't tell you the coordinates yet. Still haven't found the ruler, but lalibela was called Roha before King lalibela built the famous 11 rock hewn chruches there in the 13th century, and it was not very important, if even in existence, before that time. Axumite Kingdom's fine with me mobilize. Also, you could place Marib in Yemen and keep Saba for Axum, though I don't know where yet. Now, as to the name of the civ... The Axumite kingdom began somehwere between 300-50 B.C. so how you name it is up to you. An earlier kingdom, though not as early as Queen Makeda (sheba) existed by the name of D'MT or Damot that could be used as the civ's name as well. In any case, I have a revision to make on the leader's title. Negusa Nagast came into use after Axum, as the Axumite used Ge'ez and not modern-day Amharic to communicate. A popular title was Malik. Also, some sources say starting at 332 B.C., the ruler of Ethiopia was Candace (also spelled another way but I don't know how), who was a warrior queen that Alexander didn't want to challenge for fear of losing. Though I doubt she lived until 250 B.C., you could also fall back on her if you can't find anyone else to be the ruler.
 
Yoda, I know you're busy with the other mod, so I've worked some on your mod and I'm almost done, just one question on cities. How do you add city improvements? I know how to do multiple ones in a row (click the first, and then shift click the last), but how do you add one that's not in the row? Thanks, I'll be done by the end of this week if not earlier.

Edit...I have the same problem with giving a civ techs too, I'll give you a copy of what I've done when I can, I took 2 cities from the Nubians (red sea people's new name) and gave them two new, Napata, the capital at the time (maybe it had changed to kerma by then) and Kartoum. You said each civ had 2 specific units, I gave the Axumites a unit called "Axumite War Galley," though a such unit didn't exist, they were masters of the red sea. I need help on finding on more for land, that's all for now.
 
Yom, I had asked that earlier in this thread, nobody answered but I found it out anyways. Hold down Crtl+Alt and select. If you want to drag them, hold down Crtl+Shift. Try that, if it doesn't work or you don't understand what I'm saying tell me.
 
Thx a lot mobilize, I'll be done by the end of this week, and that's only b/c I have a couple test in the next few days. I made a few edits on the map itself so cities could be placed better, but nothing more than making 1 mountain a hill, a few forest squares next to cities, and adding a few wheat squares for some cities. I added the wheat because, although the axumite civilization was in the mountains, they are extremely fertile as they are the main source of silt for the Nile, and I couldn't make the hills more fertile without changing all hills to be like that, do you know a way I can MAKE a terrain that has the hills icon but different attributes? ( I think you can but I haven't checked yet.)

Edit...
And...uh, oh yeah, the edits I'm making is for CIVPTW, not vanilla. Also, I'm thinking of adding another civ with a capital in samarkand, I know samarkand was an important city during the 13th centuries to the mongolians and Alexander the Great marveled at its beauty when he conquered it, but whose civ was it a part of after alexander the great
 
hmm i did´nt aprove any other version than mine:hmm:

dont worry you have mypermission to post it. But im still going to do my own version.
 
Smarakand was part of the Sogdian area under the Persians and more or less of the Bactrian kingdom (just south of Sogdian) after.
But mostly it was a frontier area between the Steppe people, Asia, Persian/the muslim world. It was therefore a rich are (trade) but more or less independant on the fringes of larger Empire.
Since it is beyond the Oxus river (from a western point of view), you could call as well this area Transoxiane.
 
sorry about that Yoda, I wasn't really making a new version, I was kinda trying to provide a base. As in, since you're busy with the other scenario and you were planning to make the suggested changes anyway, I was gonna do some of the work for you until you finish with your MEM. Plus, I don't know how to post attachements, hehe.

If you aren't gonna use it as something to start with and maybe edit some when you're done with your MEM, then I probably won't post it, tell me now please, before I waste too much time on it.

Click to expand...
Maybe when you´re finish you could post it(its easy to post files) and then i could give it a final touch?
 
yeah, that's what I meant, actually, I think I'm pretty much done now, can you show me how so I can post it?
 
btw, I used ptw for the version I made, but I can make it vanilla if you want.
 
Zip the file, then when you are about to reply there is a place called Attach File, tis below the Your Reply area. Browse and then chose the file. Then Submit Reply:)
 
Ah...I see, it can't be a quick reply, only one problem though, it's 109 KB, it won't post
 
Wait, there's 2 quick changes that I need to make that I just realized...
