two nuisances

[noontide]

1. i like the select the "Quick Battle" option, but it is not the default setting, and there is no way to make the game remember your setting, so everytime i have to go into "Advanced setup" to click it.

2. is there a way to regenerate map in-game like Civ4? Thanks.

2. No, but there really should be.

There is some things I really miss from IV.

1. Regenerate Map.
2. Advanced start. (not starting in indrustial, but spending points to set up the start)
3. In game Quick combat/Q defence/ Q attack options.

A regenerate map option is highly desired, I fully agree!

At this current state of the game, I would have to say that having game setup options be 'sticky', and map regeneration, are what I would most like to see added to the game. Most other really serious problems have been (more or less) addressed- but the lack of those two basic features being in the game, are annoying each and every time I play.

You can approximate "sticky" (persistent?) game setup options by editing the lines at the end of the text file Config.ini (in "...\Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 5\config.ini").

For example, I have

; Last Civilization Played
LastCiv = -1

; Last Game Speed Played
LastSpeed = 2

; Last Map Type Played
LastMapScript = Assets\Maps\Fractal.lua

; Last Map Script Was Random
LastMapScriptRandom = 0

; Last Map Size Played
LastMapSize = 3

; Last Map Size Was Random
LastMapSizeRandom = 0

; Last Map Type Was Earth
LastMapWasEarth = 0

; Last Game Difficulty Played
LastDifficulty = 5

right now.

Go to:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\sid meier's civilization v\Assets\Gameplay\XML\GameInfo\CIV5GameOptions.xml

This is where it is on my computer using Win7. Older versions will probably be:

C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\common\sid meier's civilization v\Assets\Gameplay\XML\GameInfo\CIV5GameOptions.xml

For whichever options you want on all the time, insert "<Default>true</Default>" (without the quotes) at the end of the section. So at the top you'll see:

<Row>
<ID>0</ID>
<Type>GAMEOPTION_NO_CITY_RAZING</Type>
<Description>TXT_KEY_GAME_OPTION_NO_CITY_RAZING</Description>
<Help>TXT_KEY_GAME_OPTION_NO_CITY_RAZING_HELP</Help>
</Row>

Add "<Default>true</Default>" (without the quotes of course) before the "</Row>" line. So it should look like this:

<Row>
<ID>0</ID>
<Type>GAMEOPTION_NO_CITY_RAZING</Type>
<Description>TXT_KEY_GAME_OPTION_NO_CITY_RAZING</Description>
<Help>TXT_KEY_GAME_OPTION_NO_CITY_RAZING_HELP</Help>
<Default>true</Default>
</Row>

So now there will be no city razing in your game.

Hope that helps.
