Which Editor Option shoudl be added first

[El Justo]

i can't say that i've seen such a thing (razing of a city that is size 25/10K culture). but, yes, that is a bit unacceptable.

i suppose that all that would be needed is a 'no razing' flag in the editor.

seems simple enough

Almost all of them but I've had to select "Automatic entries to PediaIcons and Civilopedia when adding Units and Techs". I've just found out how to write the text for them properly and therefore have only just found out how long and tedious it can be.

voted:Complete Diplomacy Editor

but
Turn off "raze city" option and
Limits for movements on railroad option

would be good too

 

[aeldrik]

Automatic entries still far ahead: 16 votes
next comes Diplomacy Editor: 13 votes
Railroad limits: 9 votes
far behind with 3 votes: turn off raze cities
and all the others....
thx for voting, please continue, the more the better----

 

[Mackel-Loos]

I've voted for "Easier way to add new Terrain types", but I wish to have the ability to ADD ERAS !!!!!

all others less than 3 votes

Another one for the automatic entries....

 

[Sark6354201]

Auto entries.

Why? Because it takes FOREVER to add all the units you want and not only that it is incredibly annoying.

Also, with automatic entry, you wouldn't have to worry about mistyping one little thing (a tester that cross checks your pediaicons text file with the files etc. would be AWESOME) and then you wouldn't have to waste a million years reloading the game 20 times because you messed up 20 units out of 100.

I speak from experience

 

[Doc Tsiolkovski]

IMHO, you'd need to run 2 different polls: One for 'What's needed most for mods?', and one for scenarios.

Diplo and no razing are absolutely needed for scenarios, but pointless for a complete mod, whilethe auto-generating...well, I guess Isak would have completed RaR (aka DyP for c3c) for several months

Has anyone heard of Map Tweaker? It is a map editing tool that allows you to Copy/Paste sections as well as resize and other things!

My personal vote is "Diplo Editor", since we can already copy/paste

 

[Clam I Am]

I vote for complete diplomacy editor, but turning off razing cities would be great too. It would be nice to have automatic pedia entries when units are added, but since it is something that doesn't add anything new to the editor, it's not of the greatest importance to me.

 

[Rocoteh]

Turn off "raze city" option.

Without doubt!

Razing citys can be a pain in the neck (in scenarios), the US troups should free italy...not burn to the ground... same for germany (who acts like the golden horde) in russland and france.

 

[KingTux]

I think that there's one more critical than any of those, as they're only adding features. Currently, you can't flavor buildings, even though the tags are there. This, in my opinion is CRITICALLY needed. Without it, your scenarios can get really screwed up when someone builds a building that they don't have flavored for them, especially if it's a wonder. Until it gets fixed, this is going to be a huge exploit that the AI will take full advantage of. In the meantime, we'll just have to design our scenarios with that sort of stuff more carefully...

 

[aeldrik]

@King tux: there is always a solution for that, make a ressource required for the building, only place 1 tile of that ressource f.e. on the square of the capital City of the CIV that is the only one to build the building... works at least 80 %...

 

[Commander Bello]

@Aeldrik: The proposed solution works for pre-defined maps only, if I understand it correctly.
As I am planning to make use of the flavors as well, the information given by KingTux indeed frightenes me....

Btw, there are 8 traits and 7 flavors.... so you just don't have a good chance to customize the civs very well, even if flavors were working correctly.

 

[aeldrik]

I agree there is a problem there.... just that you can get around it a little bit.... razing cities for example is a nightmare for any historical scenario, and it just has no solution.....
I would also say the max of 8 civs on MP-Mode is also a huge problem, and the list goes on and on....
but yes, the flavors should also be improved....

 

[Antrine]

Add this please: Massive barbarian uprising needs an editor switch, slidder etc. How about something that sets it between one and twenty instead twenty or nothing!
With this give barbarians city control as in CIV II and more options with barbarian camps.

Also editor control over Goody Hut triggers, with this in detail it could get close to acting as an makeshift 'event editor'.

And of course add a on/off switch for razing cities.

I better stop, one has morphed to three and half!!

 

[Panzer_Blitz]

I would love to have the copy paste option, sometimes I find a good world map and it takes a REALLY long time just to isolate the Europe portion. Arrrggghh so many wasted nights
