A lot of threads, both informational, idealistic, and fun threads are starting to get lost everywhere. Sometimes a point is even brought up that was mentioned in a previous thread. So I'm going to work on compiling all worth-while threads into one index. I'll even categorize them. Threads that are obsolete will not be included. Individual posts can also be included (see Notable Posts section near bottom).

• Please message me if you have a thread you wish to be up here, or you think I should organize them differently.
• Please post here if you want your new thread on here more quickly.
• Please post if you think a thread is obsolete or is better answered through another thread
• An asterisk (*) represents a dead thread (such as the OP is no longer active) and a new thread should be made in its place
• A (:nope:) that is linked represents Leoreth formally dismissing the idea. You could be a rebel, though -- you didn't hear it from me.

To do list:
Alright lads and lasses, there are four things that we need to update from looking at this index.
1) We need to make a new Stability Bitmaps for all the civilizations as of v1.11
2) If possible, a guide to stability as of v1.11 would be helpful to beginners
3) A poll of best or worst aspects of DoC currently would help Leoreth and the think-tanks evaluate what is working and what could be improved
4) A strategy guide on Persia
Send me a message or post here (if you don't want to get close to me) if you are willing to do any of these.
PS -- Also, if someone is willing to create, compile, and update on a casual basis all of DoC's AARs (stories about game play, ex: The country of Rome then found Greek spies north of the Alps, and not willing to allow the Greeks to go on knowing the information of military build up in Mediolanium, declared war on 20 AD), message me also.
And as always, if you have constructive criticism, post here or send me a message and I will take it into consideration. Also, if you can more eloquently answer a question than a thread here can, go ahead.
 
Nice! Definitely deserves to be stickied, and I definitely will be checking this often.

Small nitpick- there should be an empty line just above "Requests".
 
And, after 4 hours, the index is finished.
 
About making Iran, Mexico (and now Colombia) playable from the start, Leoreth already answered here in the last sentence so please remove it :)

How about adding notable post like in the recent "How to make Seljuk playable" or something-like-that thread? Leoreth answer how to enable the cheat mode and what line to be removed. Add it so it's not lost buried and somebody in near future asked again.

Also posts about how to enable SVN, post about how to install VD, Blue Marble dst. Also post on how to enable Phyton Exception.. post about how to make sure you rename the folder to RFC Dawn of Civilization before complaining the game can't work :)

Yes, this thread should be stickied. I hope Leoreth saw this and make this sticky....
(IDK honestly whether mod or admin that stickie'd post but I think it's mod.)

Also, yes I think the Soundtrack mod already obsolete because the link is dead now :(
 
Yes, this is very useful information and worth a sticky thread.

A few notes from my perspective: first of all, VD and the soundtrack module aren't modmodmods, but official modules of the main modmod (I wonder how often we can assign the prefix mod- to words and still know what we're talking about). Also, they're already linked to in the main mod thread. Same with many of the things BenZL mentioned, there already is a thread that expains all of that in a rather verbose fashion so no need for redundancy.

It would also be good if threads where I answered with some variation of "not going to happen" didn't show up here.

If anything, the "not going to happen" threads should get a category all of their own to help reduce the number of threads in that vein.

It's sort of like Vlad Tepes leaving all the impaled soldiers in front of his castle.
 
Or that, sure.

He could always be wrong though. It's not like he doesn't WANT it to happen, he just thinks its impossible. A genius might come along.

He doesn't answer it all in that post. Plus he doesn't just answer cheat mode in that post.
Also posts about how to enable SVN, post about how to install VD, Blue Marble dst. Also post on how to enable Phyton Exception.. post about how to make sure you rename the folder to RFC Dawn of Civilization before complaining the game can't work :)
Sounds like you should find them.

Thanks!

Got it!

If you find them, post them. I looked through around 6 threads I thought would have that and couldn't find any answers.

Actually, instead of making a section for all the answers to questions, I'll just put a * with a link to your answer next to them. :)
 
The threads that prompted me to say this are the "make Iran and Mexico playable from the scenario screen" and "disable stability maps" ones, both of which I gave a pretty final answer.

They really cannot be regarded "unfulfilled requests" unless you want to pointlessly keep them in that list forever.

Like I pointed out, I would not imagine you would be against making Iran and Mexico playable. So it doesn't hurt to have it there. It's the same thing as saying "make us able to fly in the sky like birds" in 1900.
As for the disable stability maps, the poster was asking how HE could personally do it. I don't believe there has been a good enough answer for him yet. Nobody made a step by step process on how one would go about doing that. That would be useful for some.
 
If you want to make this index less useful by having it imply things that run counter to what I want to communicate, go ahead. I had hoped that this thread would serve the purpose of stopping people from asking for the same things over and over again, but whatever.

I don't know how I can be more explicit than "This will never happen ever because I'm not going to even make an attempt at it".

Leoreth...
you're kind of going overboard, and disrespecting the work I put into this.
I'm not saying that you need to do anything, I'm simply saying that if someone else were to do the work for you, it'd be a win-win for everyone. And as for the other thread in question, it doesn't matter if you say it will never happen, because it's a personal question not a question that regards DoC.
 
It's his mod. or modmod. He decide.
Even if suddenly group of Einsteins appeared and try to came up with good solution, I think the best they can do is create a modmodmod or modmodmodmod :)
