(1) I dont like the new Great Commanders and the way they work. When i capture them any civ can come by an attack them? (2) Plus they can go into your city but you cant attack them till they leave?

Same as for the other commander stuff.

(1) I agree with SO here, the only thing you can do with a captured warlord unit is delete them before you end your turn. Whereas the AI can actually capture them and move them to safety, you can't and the AI can attack the unit without attacking your units.

(1) I'm also having that problem, and I don't recall why I made it that way, but I'm sure I had a reason. I'll try setting the Great C's to not be hidden nationality and see how it works.
(2) common strategy among warlords is to hide in populated areas where they can sit and recuperate, planning their next raid. Only step to take against it is declaring full scale war against the warlords nation. (If you have trouble determining the warlords nationality just declare war against Afghanistan. They're use to it.)

I am also having problems with your guilds as implemented in RoM 2.92. I haven't checked to see if you have posted an update here to what is in basic RoM. Problem: I can build 3 guilds but each city can only have one guild spread to it so the "automated missionaries and CEOs" option causes the guilds to constantly spread to the same city! Eg each of my guild cities is building the guild master and of that guild master goes to Thebes to spread their guild there and remove the other guilds.

The upshot being that I remove both Warlords and Guilds from RoM 2.92 before I start a game. Which is a pity.

Trust me, I don't like the way the guilds have had to have a lot of surgery to fit into RoM. Cut a heel and clip a toe. Then the shoe fits.
There are three (and a half) solutions :

1) I never use automated, so it kind of works fine for me the way they are.

2) Make each civ only be able to found 1 Guild.

3) Return it to 3 Guilds/City, but have to delete two RoM resources.

4.5) Someone repair the faulty Autospread system. It seems bugged that the A(not so)I would rather throw a lot of money out on replacing a guild/corporation when there is plenty of "empty" cities. Propably requires dll changes, which then should be reported in another forum (BetterAI perhaps)

Edit : Just thought about it. The AI seems to spread the Guilds quite well. Its strange that the Autospread only is bugged for human players ???

Fixed city screen/revolution screen bug with a text fix in Guild Mod.
Hotfix added in first post.

Vincentz,

Are you working on a version for RoM2.92?

Or are you waiting for RoM 3.0?

[vincentz]

Im not really modding/playing at the moment, but maybe I get bored 1 day and dl 2.92

Is my lastest version not working with 2.92?

 

[JosEPh_II]

I hadn't tried to use it with 2.92 yet.

I've been trying to get Jungle Camp to work with RoM1.03. I can get the camp to show up in the game and use it. The Camp shows on the main screen, but IN reasearch tree, city building row, and in Build drop down menu it's a Pink button.

Dancing Huskold is looking at it but I have ot had a reply back for several days now.

I wanted to add JC and Tannery to RoM1.03 for a True RoM "Lite" version using 1.03 as a base. Especially for those who wanted a version of RoM for lower end computers or a faster game with the core flavor of RoM. 1.03 works as a stand alone even with the 3.19 official patch and with x64 OSs.

Afforess gave me a Module folder with your JC , Butchery and Tannery, as Modules, but it was pulled from the 2.7 or 2.8 versions of RoM which use the WoC system. 1.03 is Pre-WoC. So things don't match up just right.

It's my 1st bumbling attempt at Modding CIV. XML is a foriegn language to me.

Hope your Bar and Diving are treating you well.

Hi,

Is there anyway to increase in Vincentz Guild number of guild per civ from 3 to more?

Thank You very much,

its an artdefine issue. make sure the path is correct for the .dds.

and the bar and diving is almost history. With the yellow/redshirts, bad worldwide economy and uncertain political future for thailand, we decided to root up and move to Denmark.

I wrote a brief description in the other place you posted

 

[strategyonly]

Fixed in update.

 

[vincentz]

In RoM or your mod?

I added the ability for my warlords to be able to join cities as military instructors but with +1 xp instead of +2.

I better upload the whole warlords mod then. Thanks for the heads up

EDIT

Uploaded a new warlords in 1st post. Fixes the single warlords plus adding the ability for some of my warlords to join city as a Minor Military Instructor (+1xp instead of +2) plus civic dependency.

The following civics allows the building of Warlords :

Despotism, Fascism, Junta, Vassalage and Nationalism.

The last will be an optional DL as I havent playtested it yet (But seems to work fine in civilopedia)

 

[strategyonly]

OK now i get Pink icon's for the General Instructors

 

[vincentz]

mmm

gotta look into that.

ROM ?
High or low graphic settings?

When i write here, its always RoM and on High, I believe its the BULL hover thing again, it does not like spaces inbetween words/files/folder names, like Custom Units, but better at Custom_Units.

Infact even though your stuff doesnt have much problems now, but maybe later, it would be better to put ALL your stuff with a _ , rather than just a (space).

 

[vincentz]

OMG You were absolutely right. THANKS! It would have taken me hours to it track down, since there are nothing "wrong" with the code. Why would the BULL team do something stupid like that???

The problem is that the warlords is part of RoM and positioned in Custom Units folder, so if I changed it to Custom_Units it would make a duplex warlord.
For now I'll place the .dds in Projects/Vincentz, and write a text to Zappara.

 

[Afforess]

It's actually not BULL's fault. It's the way the EXE was coded.

Vincentz,

Maybe when you get resettled I could ask you for some advice on Pre WoC XML Modules for RoM1.03.

You said the problem with pink icons is in the art defines. Would that be something in this path: (...)\Rise of Mankind1.03\Assets\Art\structures\buildings ? Would I need to create a Jungle Camp folder and put the lone jungle camp dds file in it? And if I did how would the game recognize it? Is there another file/ line of XML text that would need to be "pointer" to it, the JC folder?

I really like the JC as it fills in a big void for jungle tiles. Someday I hope to add some of your industry to 1.03.

Thanks

JosEPh

 

[vincentz]

the thing, if I recall correctly, there are two artdefines for the junglecamp. 1 for building and one for improvement.
One is quite obvious > CIV4ArtDefines_Improvement.xml
<Button>Modules/Builds/JungleCamp/junglecamp.dds</Button>
while the other is in > CIV4BuildInfos.xml
<Button>modules/builds/junglecamp/junglecamp.dds</Button>

If one of them is wrong the JC will still work but show pink om some places.

@Vintcentz, your Guild pack is just an XML mod isn't it?

There is a problem with the Equestrian Guild (only this one) not working with my SubdueAnimals mod. I can't see any names/codes of units or buildings that are the same in both mods. I wonder if it has something to do with giving free resources? I am at a loss for ideas atm.

 

[vincentz]

Yep, xml only. I did have a problem when I made the masons guild, could be somehow the same issue dont know. If the masons corporation gave stone as well as consume it, it gave a loop, supplying with 100000 stones. Same problem?

Might be, one of my buildings gives horses.

Think I'm gonna stick a bit with CivIV. Just bought a used HP computer for 100$ (incl 17 inch flatscreen and wireless keyboard and mouse) for internet and TV use, but it turns out its a pretty fast singlecore 3.2 GHz P4.
