We The People 4.1

Great update, occasional crashes related to video memory but nothing game breaking. Restart and everything works fine again. Good job!

I did find a very weird bug though, which is kind of an exploit, because it allows me to take a city from sea with 1 buccaneer against 3 enemy units in one turn. I'm playing the Dutch, year is 1693 and I'm fighting the Portugese. I am trying to make a landing with buccaneers on a mountain peak tile 2 tiles away from an enemy city. There is country road so it's traversable for me. Instead of going where I'm pointing, the "fastest route" goes through enemy city, forcing them to make a landing there. There are 2 hessians and an artillery in the city i.e. my buccaneer shouldn't stand a chance but it takes the city allowing me the option to raze or keep and the enemy units are teleported to their own territory few tiles away.

Attached screenshots and savegames before/after.

Hi folks
Great Mode! Great Work !

After installing everything works fine, but I got a weird message everytime I open Colonization
It deals with a message about incompatible maps, see screenshot attached..
It wants a restart!
Regardless of whether I choose "yes" or "no" the game starts and works fine. Whats the matter with it? Can I ignore it?
Thanks for help in advance!

@stefmaster
WTP should be installed in the /Mods directory directly in the game installation path.
If you install it under the /Mod directory in /Users, you may get that small issue.
(It might be related to write permissions as the mod cannot write certain settings.)

Good example:
C:\Games\Colonization\Mods\WTP
(Or if you have the Steam version, go search it there.)

Bad example:
C:\Users\<YourUser>\Documents\My Games\Colonization\Mods\WTP
(Again, the problem is the "Users". It is also less performant.)

In other words, search for the place where the Colonization.exe is.
This is also the right place to have the " \Mods" folder.

------------

Otherwise the message is not really critical.
But our mod expects certain instructions to be followed.
(see the readme if you have more questions.)

Sorry, I have to disagree with you
I did the installation correct!
That´s my path:
C:\Program Files (x86)\2K Games\Firaxis Games\Sid Meier's Civilization IV Colonization\Mods

Thats also the place on my Computer where Colonization.exe is.

This is the path I do not use:
C:\Users\stefm\Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization IV Colonization\MODS

That´s my path:
C:\Program Files (x86)\2K Games\Firaxis Games\Sid Meier's Civilization IV Colonization\Mods

That is fine, as it is not under "Users".

Spoiler :

Putting it in the default game installation location "Program Files" is as good as having a custom location for games called "games".
In both cases you are using the installation path of the game - which is all I tried to explain.

That had to be said!

One of the change logs says 'Added new game speed for builders (slower than Marathon)' but it seems to be the exact opposite.

It is related to the turns you can make (more than marathon). However, the new speed is for builder who want to build up an empire - lots of time, more turns but that does NOT mean that everything needs longer to be built. However, it is not balanced yet completely.

Hi I have been having some trouble downloading the mod. So I uninstalled the game and then reinstalled the base game. Then I got the 4.1 Zip folder and extracted all the contents. So when I try to run the mod I get an error saying "There are more siblings than memory allocated for them. When trying to set up the game I hit Setup and it said I wasn't supposed to load the mod in my documents game folder. However, I am not sure where else to load it into has anyone had this problem and how would I fix it. Thanks

Hello,
not sure at the moment, but I believe the install instruction stated that it needs to be installed in the folder with the "?".exe file and some further files needs to be copied... but I did it a while ago.

I am wondering if I am doing something wrong, the mod seems to start fine but the only map type I have available is the fairweathertweak one? Should there be more or is there something I am missing to get activate all map types?

Making a random map generator is hard work so we have chosen to improve the one we have rather than having a number of sub quality ones. We intentionally removed the vanilla map scripts as they do not provide our new terrains, hence it became impossible to build certain buildings unless certain resources were bought in Europe. It's much better to have one map generator where it just delivers what is needed in that aspect and provides other new terrain such as large rivers.
