@darkedone

Sorry, forgot to post the info It's ready in post #1.

Enjoy, everyone!

 

[darkedone02]

Let see, so it suppose to be the evolutions, maybe you need to add in some custom technology that goes all the way back to the dawn of man and how they evolve all the way to our modern world. If you like, add in the future as well.

 

[NikNaks]

We intend to later on.

C'mon, file. Upload!!

 

[Jeckel]

Jeckel rubs his hands together and awaits the posting of the download link.

 

[NikNaks]

I finally managed to upload the file to 3dDownloads.
'Please allow 24 hours'. It's not fair!! I want you to try it now!!
Curse you waiting time...

 

[Jeckel]

How big is the file, is it over 10 mb? If not you should upload it to CivFantic's File Database. If it is bigger then 10 mb then just ignore this and chalk it up as a simple pug for the CFC FDB.

 

[NikNaks]

No, its a fair bit over. Nice thought though. C'mon acceptance e-mail...

EDIT: Check the first post for the link.

I still don't get what is this mod about ...

 

[Elit3]

@ Vincentiko

This mod is a more in depth perspective of civilization 3. It's focused on realism. Bigger & better than the original Civ. Instead of dealing with 1,000 gold, you would be dealing with 1,000,000,000. And instead of money being marked as "gold" it will be marked as "Currency" Since nobody uses gold in real world money trading nowadays. Thats just and example. NikNak has a download link for the beta version of evolution up top.

*Note this version is without the waaaaaay back past and future added techs. I guess you can call it a trial version.

 

[NikNaks]

Are there any more comments or suggestions?

 

[NikNaks]

I updated Post #1 with a new patch, adding new advisors and other things. Will update info tomorrow.

 

[Quijote]

In regards to confusion I think the problem with this MODcomposite is that the way it has been branded: It is called Sid Meier's Civilization Evolution and the skeleton diagram you have lay a strong resemblance to this:



You say that what you want to achieve is realism and more content, but what you must accept is that there are dozens of MODcomposites that want to do the exact same thing. What makes you special?

The new currency system is intriguing. Will different civilizations be able to have their own currency? Will it add a realistic inflation dynamic to the game? If so then this MODcomposite will stand out.
Good luck.

The new currency system is intriguing. Will different civilizations be able to have their own currency? Will it add a realistic inflation dynamic to the game?

We are thinking about that, but we are trying to find a way to implement it well. At the moment, it's mainly just a mod merge with more in it. There's much more to come.

P.S. Can I borrow that pic?

P.S. Can I borrow that pic?

I did not make it - I just googled after it and found it on: http://www.splendoroftruth.com/
Since what you are producing is none-profit you can pretty much use any pictures you want.
