Good job Dale!

With the update file, you have to delete CvDiplomacyInterface.py to make it work (made redundant by the official Patch).

PrinceMyshkin · March 16, 2009, 04:01

Got you, thanks!

PrinceMyshkin · March 16, 2009, 07:05

Dale, got two elder statesmen and some colonists on bell production, but RS seems satcked to 0% for 50+ turns now.

Any clue? Don't bells affect RS any more?

Dale · March 16, 2009, 07:55

Yeah should be a random number between 0 and (num of bells / 6).

PrinceMyshkin · March 16, 2009, 08:45

Stacked to 0% so far.

King though several times increased REF... something fishy is happening.

Dale · March 16, 2009, 09:02

Do any citizens in the colony/plot have sentiment?

PrinceMyshkin · March 16, 2009, 09:11

no, let me see if I can attach files now.

PrinceMyshkin · March 16, 2009, 09:13

Here is the savegame.

Please have a look if you like.

I had to reinstall everything. Installed the patch and full 1.08. But I can't view the new Ozzie's map. is there someplace I need to move the map?

PrinceMyshkin · March 16, 2009, 11:46

I cannot see it either. The file exists.

I think Dale edited the map to adjust it, but for some reason it doesn't load.

Try to use the same map from v1.07 and test if it works.

Flash · March 16, 2009, 11:59

Unfortunately, I didn't download 1.07.

PrinceMyshkin · March 16, 2009, 12:08

OK found the solution.

Dale's AoD2 folder used to be:
\Colonization II\Mods\AgeOfDiscoveryII

It now has become:
\Colonization II\Mods\AgeOfDiscoveryII_1.08

The map files though still search for:
\Colonization II\Mods\AgeOfDiscoveryII

Hence all you have to do is rename folder:
\Colonization II\Mods\AgeOfDiscoveryII_1.08

to:
\Colonization II\Mods\AgeOfDiscoveryII

HTH

PS Can you plz test, if RS goes up when bells are produced?

Flash · March 16, 2009, 12:20

I figured it out.
i renamed the mod path in the map by adding "_1.08"

But your way works too.

Bearhugger · March 16, 2009, 16:10

Possible bug:
On "Colonisation 1" - map (don't know about the other maps yet) some AI first ships don't find a place to settle.
The result is that these units move around forever...

EDIT:
Ok, I just checked: It's more or less the same on other maps - always someone that doesn't find a place to settle!

A question:
Is there a way to only use Spain, England, Holland, France, Portugal and Pirates on "Colonisation 1" - map?
Apart from starting a custom scenario, of course.

PrinceMyshkin · March 16, 2009, 17:10

1. What was the nation of the AI ships? Were they pirates?

2. No. Not other than custom scenario, as you said. There is a FF issue at the monent. So many nations, so few FFs.

Bearhugger · March 17, 2009, 09:04

FF is founding fathers, right?
No, not Pirates, random nations, like Australia, Spain, England...

In my most recent game as Portugal, 3 nations settled right beside me! the 2 others didn't settle at all (Spain and Pirates)!

Flash · March 17, 2009, 11:58

I'm looking at two maps. Ozzie's and America Modified.

I'm thinking the Russians really don't fit Ozzies, but could hit AM. The russians would better fit a map with a decent Alaska attached.

Which map does anyone prefer to use with AoDII?

Flash · March 17, 2009, 12:10

Bearhugger,

This is an old issue. I had to fix it by assigning starting cities to each civ. and I had to add caravel and a citizen to said city.

Bearhugger · March 17, 2009, 13:11

Could you upload that? I don't know how to fix it myself...

Flash · March 17, 2009, 14:58

Sure, I'll try to get my mod map of Ozzie's. (When I get it redone today.) I put the English in the first slot.

Bearhugger · March 17, 2009, 15:08

How can one edit maps?
Using World Builder and then save the changes somehow?

Ok, did that, it works. But how can I play the changed map as a scenario?? (It only shows as "world builder save")

Flash · March 17, 2009, 16:42

You have to do two things. You make changes in the worldbuilder and make changes of the *.worldbuildersave in wordpad.

Bearhugger · March 18, 2009, 08:26

What changes in wordpad exactly??

Flash · March 24, 2009, 03:14

Dale,

How do you set a map so that the civs stay in their historical locations on the America and America modified locations. Once that is done I can rearrange or rename native cities somewhat. I don't mind the resources staying random.

Bearhugger,
I'll answer your question in more detail later, but it is suffice to say, it gives you precise control over your map.

Dale · March 24, 2009, 13:40

Hi all,

I'm glad you're enjoying AoD2, but I've had to make a decision regarding which forum to support. Due to the amount of support given to its members at CivFanatics, AoD2 will now be supported only over there.

So please join me in the AoD2 forums at CFC for more fun.

Thanks
Dale

I have acquired a... er, "modified" copy of C4C and I don't see any mods folder at all. Under the C4C directory I can see Assets, Civ4gamecoreDLL, miles, public maps, resource, and shaders but nothing else. All of these sub directories have their own sub directories but none of them are named anything like mods so where should I unpack this mod?

iggymnrr · September 21, 2009, 17:26

Fantastic mod. Gave it a good workout a couple months ago with 28 colonies. Forgive the delay in posting.

Specifically, I tested the automated import/export features extensively. The advisor is a good idea for this, but the three possibilities -- create, edit, delete -- had mixed results.

Create: the advisor is perfect for this with a large number of colonies. It reduces the number of routes to choose from. This option worked great.

Edit/delete: The advisor was buggy/funky making a person wonder about "line-iteming" these options. The importance of the advisor for this is in question. In game play, just mouse over a colony, edit and keep playing. The tricky part is in deletion. Don't think either the advisor or colony is more advantageous than the other. But what would be helpful is to have existing import/export routes listed in a humanly recognizable order. A person might never even bother deleting old routes if this were the case.

JBAdams · November 12, 2009, 13:21

Forgive me for a somewhat noobish question here, but are there many people playing AOD2 multiplayer?

I got Civ4 Colonization when it came out, but the game mechanics were so broken (buy a cannon, kill your neighbor, rinse, repeat) that I stopped playing.

Tesreamb73 · November 16, 2009, 12:11

cool i check it out the mod i use only has an extra 50 units
