  • Turning Colonies off for PBEMs?

    Hi All,

    I play with a few friends on PBEM games. We would prefer it if on these games if Colonies were turned off. The reason for this is that our games are mostly about combat and territorial domination and colonies detracts from each player's ability to command the world as they see fit.

    Is it possible to turn Colonies off either via the standard interface or through editing the data files in some manner?

    Many thanks,

    Jid

    I think you turn colonies off if you turn off Vassals, but i'm not sure about colony maintenance. Perhaps that's fixable in XML if not?

      There's a iColonyMaintenancePercent setting in both CIV4HandicapInfo.xml and CIV4WorldInfo.xml (in Assets/XML/GameInfo). If you set either to zero you get no colony maintenance.

        Turning off vassals makes colony maintenance zero, so you don't even have to mess with the XML.
