[Warlords] The Caesium Mod

[Caesium]

.​

Latest version: Version 2.3.2 for Civilization 4 Warlords 2.13 (July 25th, 2007)

Support only for the actual latest version, since there were a lot version numbers this mod had before.
I started with the first version of this mod for about one and a half year, but released only for the german community.


All of you, who test this Mod an find bugs or errors in the code, or have texts for parts of this mod, which have currently no descriptions: Please post them.
In case of bugs please upload your save, your logs and a screen shot.




What is this mod about?

This modpack is based on flavored interface changes, added civs, units and buildings.
Many modcomps, that change gameplay are also included, but they are mainly optional, so you can choose, if you want to use them or not.
For a list of included modcomps and modpacks please read the next posts.

Installation and Uninstallation

Setting of city radius

Spoiler :

Here you can change your city's radius:

After you started a game

Spoiler :

you get following screen

Here you can switch the mod comps on and off.

New with this version:
There are ModOptions that automatically disable enabled modcomps, like TechLeak disables Techdiffusion and vice versa.

The game stores your settings, so you can always play with your settings.

About the ini

Spoiler :

In {Civ4 Installation folder}\Warlords\Mods\Caesium v2.3 you'll find Caesium Config.ini.

This file is for setting most of the games values; yo can edit the following way:

;#####################################
[Pirates Mod]
;#####################################

This entry is the header od the following chapter.

; Increase or decrease the value to change the chance that a spawned
; pirate ship will carry a crew.
; Default value is 50
Pirate Ships Carry Crew Chance = 50

These are the entries that trigger the game.

All entries with ";" are comments.
If you change something, please don't change the variable, please change the value.

 

[Caesium]

• Usage of map size Gigantic and Ultragigantic can cause system failures.
  Normally the loading sequence is extreme long (up to 10min).
  So choose them at own risk! You should play smaller maps, if errors occur by map size.

• Revolution mod can cause long time waiting sequences.
  To prevent this, search the following entries in the Caesium Config.ini
  

  ;#####################################
  [BarbarianCiv]
  ;#####################################

  and
  

  ;#####################################
  [Revolution]
  ;#####################################

  and change the following value to 5 or 10 (or whatever)
  

  ; Max civs - This component won't add new civs with this number already in game (-1 for DLL limit)
  ; Default value is -1
  MaxCivs = -1
