Looks like good stuff, after a brief skim.

/me hopes a similar document dedicated to scripting is forthcoming.

[Dale]

Thanks.

If you follow all the steps in the manual then you'll have created your own multi-player 3-player "gold rush" scenario.

Nice to see.

At the last page it was confirmed that borderless maps are in. Cylindrical in two directions (X and Y).

[Grandpa Troll]

sweet because I love scenario making

Thanks much!

Now if I could just Mod the AMazon game

If.i.e.>Amazon(3 days>)+(if.else.when.whoknows.whocares)would ship(sendto.deliver.on.time)

I could have the game

18 civs is the upper limit..wonder if that means on the biggest map the game ships with or maybe more if a bigger map was made?

time will tell

[ravagon]

Just what I've been looking for ...

It's got some great advice (and I mean that) but a bit light on details.

[Dale]

Remember the doco only covers the World Builder. It doesn't cover python or xml.

So we change it to:
cheatcode=chipotle

Is that correct? Does that also enable the cheat code that lets you heal units with alt+[ ?

I hope you have it figured out by now

if not

on top right when you enter the world builder is a group of button and just run the cursor over them and one says "EXIT WORLD BUILDER" just save what you have done first

as for the second part, not sure if you can tell if someone has used it or not

I been working and tweaking a very generic and crude scenario with me vs 8 Deity Level ai, Inland lakes with me on an isolated Island, plenty resiources.

I was rying to up my gold to start with.

I can do it by EDITCITY in WB to a max of 5000 Gold.

I was reading how to change starting gold with a text editor, I choose Notepad and it saved but when i open the game the save does not show and go back and yes it is there, under my name listed.

Could I be missing something?

I went under:

BeginPlayer
Team=0
LeaderType=LEADER_VICTORIA
LeaderName=Genghis Gramps
CivDesc=TXT_KEY_CIV_ENGLAND_DESC
CivShortDesc=TXT_KEY_CIV_ENGLAND_SHORT_DESC

CivicOption=CIVICOPTION_ECONOMY, Civic=CIVIC_DECENTRALIZATION
CivicOption=CIVICOPTION_RELIGION, Civic=CIVIC_PAGANISM
Handicap=HANDICAP_NOBLE

I tried below 5000 and no good either.

Thanks if anyone has an idea for a work around.

I think maybe I have to enable the cheat section "chipolte" in the ini file, in order to utilize this feature in the WB, I will go see.

Be back, as soon as I find the ini file.

[Blaupanzer]

Ever find it?

[GBart]

Can you set a limit to the maximum technological advancement or change the stats of units and so forth like you could in Civ III?
