Turning off "Domination Victory" message...

[Cmcastl]

I don't know if this requires a new MOD but could some Planetfall modder please devise a way to turn off the "Domination Victory" message each turn, if one wants to carry on for a few more turns - and thoroughly smash one's enemies after one has achieved Domination. It is rather off-putting and was never a problem in the original game of SMAC which let you carry on happily.

Or is there a way of altering victory conditions in the present game to allow this?

Live long and prosper.

Can't you turn off the domination victory in the Custom Game screen?

Course, that would force you to go with the conquest victory...but I suspect you might not have a problem with that; fair warning though.

I can't imagine wanting to mop everything up myself...I rarely finish games as it is!

Oh, and of course, this only helps with new games. Again, fair warning.

Many thanks, Tssha, for the advice.

I will try it.

I was thinking of trying another game but seeing if I could change the victory conditions at the start; I have never tried that before. I was wondering if I might not be able to change the victory conditions in the present game? I shall just have to see.

I think however that for future MODs Maniac et al. might consider having the "Domination Victory" message active for only that one turn.

Also, since I have your kind attention, Tssha, in case you know the answer to this, isn't there supposed to be a melee option in the general Civ IV, where it will develop the game automatically for X number of turns? Maybe that doesn't apply in Planetfall? This is where I badly miss the old practice of a nice attractively presented cardboard box with game and BOOK!

Live long and prosper.

If you refer to a kind of auto-play feature like it is present in jdog's revolution mod...that component is not included in Planetfall.

You can however of course make use of the advanced start option - either just set a more advanced era and start with more units and all techs of the eras before or use the clickbox with "Advanced Start" including the field with the "Advanced Start Purchase Points" as well. Then you enter a kind of "empire workshop" before starting the game, where you can spend your purchase points for various things (the AI does this as well) - including pre-placing some cities. Thats probably what comes closest to SMAC's option of starting the game later.

Thank you, one and all. All is revealed. For the first time I went into the Custom Game options and there is a sort of melee option.

Live long and prosper.
