How do you guys know how to do all this stuff? Did you learn the fundamentals in school?

 

[Genghis.Khan]

no, I am currently in school (Holidays now, but yeah, I've still got some years before college). I just look at other people's code, try to understand it, read some tutorials online, ask for help, and after several failed attemps do (at least something close to) what I wanted.

but that's me, I don't know how other modders work, but I pretty sure this is just my case, because, well, my age is an important factor...

P.S: About Armenia, I will upload the Alpha version today

 

[DiogenesK9]

Nice, there's hope for me then. Now that I've made some art, I'll start looking at programming.

P.S.: can't wait!

 

[Genghis.Khan]

sory, it appears that today was 2 days away. Here is the Mod Download Link (still some testing before uploading it to Steam and CivFanatics): http://www1.datafilehost.com/d/c1704919

EDIT: Included every file in RFE, too lazy to do a whole new mod, but only the Armenia-related files doing something

EDIT: 6.9 MB in a compressed format and only 1/10 of the Art...

 

[Genghis.Khan]

sorry, no Internet for a week. Let's see what has changed in Modding since BNW (and play a few games)

 

[Genghis.Khan]

Colonies complete Alpha being tested today

 

[Genghis.Khan]

just to say this Project is well alive and release will be soon (this Summer)

 

[Genghis.Khan]

Love the civ choices, every single one of them!

Are you sure you want to keep it with 9 new civs?
Some of these would also make a wonderful addition:
Hittites, Mali, Sioux, Vietnam, Nubia, Khazaria, Mapuche
Especially the Hittites with an early iron bonus UA, and the Mali with an UA related to gold and enormous wealth.

 

[nzk13]

With all this talk of international trade routes and other newfangled concepts, will this mod be G&K compatible, or no?

What about this, Barbarian encampments spawn units at rate "a" so after a number "b" of turns if the Barbarian encampment still exists it evolves into a Barbarian city that would spawn units at rate "a/2" or even faster
