Welcome to Giant Earth Map (GEM)!

Minor release.

Version 6.2.1 Change log
1) Fixed the max turn bug in the plain maps.
2) Fixed an error in the diplomatic setting in 1940AD - Italy was started out at war with Russia and China.
3) Make Turkey and Russia more furious towards Germany. They will no longer open border to Germany.
4) Spain and Italy are no longer willing to open borders to nations that are worse than cautious.

I give up. It is hard to find everything I can in the map because it is so big.
I will just have to wait till I buy new computer with faster cpu, I have 2.3ghz dual core. I need better than that to play GEM comfortably rapidly. I can load like I said before just fine, just that the turns are maddening slow early on, not later on.

Jabarto, yes, I'm taking up on your offer at your earliest convenience. Thanks for your offer .

Here you go.

After correcting the diplomatic status of Italy in the minor release, Italy now gets many vassals in the first turn since it is no longer at war with anyone. This is undesirable as it messes up the entire world-wide diplomatic situation (in my test game, Romania, Yugoslavia and a few Americas nations become vassals of Italy).

I am going to make Italy to start at war with France and Britain just as in the previous version, although this is not historically accurate.

I'm not what is happening but I get a consistent crash when a barbarian changes to a civ in few turns.

Hello all.

I'm getting an error mensage when i try to enable inquisition or change anything else.
It says " BUG option - failed writing INI file 'Mods\Giant Earth Map\RevolutionDCM.INI".

I have the mod RevolutionDCM.
I tryed to fix it by copying revolutionDCM.ini from GEM diretory to RevolutionDCM diretory, but it didn't work.

Any idea about that?

thanks

Sorry, i have another question:
How can i install the scrolling scoreboard? I don't know where to extract the maininterface file.

thanks

 

[cheesemijit]

instead of sing a scrolling scorebaord you can just use the BUG options then go to scoreboard and make the civ names smaller. thats what i do to fit all the 1940 civs in

Cheesemijit,

Would you be so kind as to explain to a bit of an idiot how I can get BUG up and running so I can play GEM with it, as from what i can gather BUG has not been included, just revolution? I'm sure it's easy but i tried a bit ago and couldn't do it. GEM is all i play and the new 50 civ map sounds fantastic, but since i can only fit about 20 civs on screen i really DO need this BUG mod linked in!

Cheers

 

[cheesemijit]

Do you have the newest GEM version?

BUG comes with the new GEM, revolutions and barbarian civ and dynamic civ names come with BUG. if you click Ctrl+Alt+O you will open the BUG options screen where you can activate some cool features (like inquisitors, ranged bombardment, influence driven war...etc) in this options menu you just clikc on the scoreboard tab and there are more options for the scoreboard there, it is very customizable. go to the BUG mod forum for details i guess. it will be in the Project & Mod Development bit.

ok need some help, i have installed new version of Civ 4 bts and i have GEM latest version, but for some reason, when i am ready to begin game, i get a message that Bts have stopped working?

now Bts works fine, just GEM stops it from working???

is this perhaps a vista issue or something missing?

Is your BtS patched to 3.19? If not, it may be wise to patch to 3.19, then try play GEM.

 

[DodgyDave]

well i updated to 319 first to ensure that worked, then put GEM into place and then ran a few games with just 319 scenarios and then i began a GEM game, all things worked, until the join game bit and then vista says its nolonger working? and i tried another normal random game, works fine... So seems to be a problem with latest GEM version? or i am missing something to get it to work now?

*shrug* I dunno. I'm using Vista 32-bit and it ran fine (at least before I used BarbCiv). It is just slow for me.
You understand that it is a scenario game, not a normal game right? You play with the scenarios, not "play the game" or "Custom game" options.
Otherwise, I dunno how to help you.

 

[DodgyDave]

found out why it did not work, tried to use the GEM 6.0 version of the modern map and that does not work

so it all works fine now, thanks

 

[DodgyDave]

ok all is going well on a basic gem map, with the added things like rebellion and stuff, but one point is beginning to annoy me, i normally use caste system and once i have that, i either make it so that city does scientists or merchant, now how do i mark one of these as the only to make, when that old BtS feature seems to nolonger exist???

you know, in the normal game, there is a yellow box around them, but in this new version, its nolonger there.

Just a question, but why does Roosevelt start in India?

 

[meda22]

detail of error is:
AppName: civ4beyondsword.exe AppVer: 3.1.9.0 ModName: msvcr71.dll
ModVer: 7.10.3052.4 Offset: 000028ed

Please can you help me?

Some weeks or months ago, I played GEM 6.1 without problems. Now I tried 6.2.1 and this is my game screen. What can I do? BtS is 3.19, of course, and I deleted the old GEM folder.

Ok, I found the problem: If I set the language to English, then all menus are correct. Maybe you should display a warning for this issue.

I found an interesting thing after playing this mod several times. It seems that the ROME always managed to build the Great Wall and the Pyramid. So in recent games, I played either Spain or France, and started a war after the ROME finished the Great Wall and Pyramid (It has a very small army since most of it's production were spent on wonders). After I captured these two wonders, things become easy.
