[Mod] Small & Effective

[feivelda]

Here is v1.2.1. It has long waitings, but now it works all with 1.52
The newest additions are:
- Updated FreeTech Mod and Terraform Mod to the newest versions.
- Removed CorrectedDiplomacy XML File. It causes a loading error in 1.52 and I haven't got the time to fix this.

The downloads are the same links as on v1.2. The python rar now includes a text and a html file which lists the files and the mods.

So, the newest and best and coolest
It's now v1.2. Changes are:
#IMPORTANT# There seems to be some errors in addition with patch 1.52. I will try these days what to do

- New Name: Lets call it Small&Effective Mod
- Modular Archivs: I've created 3 archives, one for xml files, one for the python scripts and one for the Art files. By this way, I didn't need to upload the 6 MB for the Art files every time.
- Uses a new cvcustomeventmanager with some structure
- Added the caravan mod
- Added the Better Civilopedia
- Added the Railroad Speed Mod

So, here's the new download:
Art.rar
Python.rar
Xml.rar

So, let's have fun

Additions in v1.1:
- Deleted Forestry Mod, but added Terraform Mod
- Deleted TechConquest Mod, but added Freetech Mod

The rest of the mod is the same as in v1

I hope, all is ok. It would make it easier for me, if someone tests this again, because when I test, I will play for hours and hours and hours...

The new one can be downloaded here

v1) I merged some Mods, you will see the result. The mods are
- TechConquest Mod - Deleted in v1.1
- RealFort Mod
- CulturalDecay Mod
- Forestry Mod - Deleted in v1.1
- SettlerReligion Mod
- AbandonRazeDemolish Mod
- TechErforscht Mod
- ReligiousVictory Mod
- DynasticGameSpeed Mod
- CorrectedDiplomacy XML File - Deleted in v1.2.1
- Civ4 Leaders Mod

It would be the best if other people does also look at the mod, because I want to try it in real play, but at this weekend I have no time to play civ
The mod is combined after
this rule and so very good to use as basis for own mods.
Enjoy

Whats TechErforscht Mod? In english please.

[feivelda]

This TechErforscht is from the german www.civforum.de
It shows a different screen when you acquire a new tech
Screenshots ( in german ) are here, here and here.

Now you see directly:
- what techs has the acquired as dependency
- what units can be build with this tech in a seperate row
- what buildings can be build with this tech in a seperate row
...

When I used this, unit could only perform one action. They could still be selected and instructed to do something, but they wouldn't. What's going on?

[mook85]

Nevermind, I used a fresh install of the game and it works now. Weird.

[feivelda]

As far as I can see, the TechConquest works excellent.

So far I'm liking this mod, good combination.

One thing I've noticed though - you capture a city, it has almost no production (due to no border around the city for the citizens to work), thus it takes forever to build a culture-producing improvement.

Has anyone else noticed this, or found an easy way around it? It's making early conquest a bad idea (the city just starves to death, and raises corruption).

[feivelda]

I think this is a default behavior, I think it's the same in unmodded civ4.
But it only last min 3 max 7 turns what I had until now when I conquered a city. After that you gain the squares around the city in most cases. At this point the cultural decay works, it removes the influence from a culture if a square isn't in the range of that culture

[burbel]

Well in my case it lasted from around 3200 BC until 1000 AD. But it hasn't happened since; only the first city I ever took (warrior rush).

New Version, let's call it v2
All changes are listed in the first post

Oh, that's a cool mod. Maybe I should check civforum.de from time to time as well.

You should submit this to the Mod category in the direcotry:

[feivelda]

I found some errors in the mod ( I merged it at work ) but I'm on the way to fix them

Edit: I fixed all problems and have done a initially test. All seems to work

@Gramphos: I will upload the mod to the mod page soon, but first I want to make some little more additions

[Nikolai]

What do I do with the files after I have Dl'ed the rar? Do I just unrar them directly to the default Civ4 directory?

EDIT: I found a folder with the same name in the my games/civ4 folder. Do I just replace the files inside there?

[feivelda]

Yes, you can overwrite the empty folders there.
But be sure, that you don't have another files in customassets, because they will be overwritten by the mod
