[Barbarian] Scenario question

[Grandpa Troll]

I am enjoying playing the Barbarian scenario, but was wondering if it is possible to change starting gold and additionally map size to include many more civilizations?

Thanks for any/all feedback.

For the map size (and type) you just have to load the 'barbarian' mod and to select 'custom game' instead of 'Warlords scenarios'.

Money money

For the money it's quite simple too: you've got to find the 'Barbarian.py' file and edit it. This file should be in the 'assets' directory of the 'barbarian' mod. For me it looks lilke:

C:\Program Files\Firaxis Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 4\Warlords\Mods\Barbarian\Assets\Python

Then modify the amount of money according to your dreams and to the start you choose (autoplay duration : 40, 65 or 100 turns). In the following example I've chosen to start with 6666 gold instaed of 1000 for the 40 turns autoplay:

class Barbarian:
	def __init__(self):
		# (Turn, Gold)
		self.__Difficulty={	DIFFICULTY_EASY : (40, 6666), 
							DIFFICULTY_MEDIUM : (65, 1750),
							DIFFICULTY_HARD : (100, 2500),
							}

The code to change is very easy to find: it's nearly at the beginning of 'Barbarian.py'

worked like a charm, now to figure out the map size issue

Oups sorry: I had not carefully read your first post.
You'll have to go through XML for that one.

In your 'CIV4WorldInfo.xml' file (for me it's found at 'C:\Program Files\Firaxis Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 4\Warlords\Mods\Barbarian\Assets\XML\GameInfo') you just have 3 'WorldInfo' sections for each of the 3 map sizes the scenario allows. Add the following sections to be able to play more map size:

		<WorldInfo>
			<Type>WORLDSIZE_STANDARD</Type>
			<Description>TXT_KEY_WORLD_STANDARD</Description>

		</WorldInfo>

Be careful that the 2 ending tags stay at the end of the file! That is:

	</WorldInfos>
</Civ4WorldInfo>

Thanks

You were exactly accurate except it went into the Barbarian Folder first then follow those paths

But

I do thank you for your expertise

Love doing the Barb conquest!

[Max]

No, no, thank you: I had a great fun doing barbs with unlimited credit thanks to your idea!

I edited my post to make the folder name right, which was indeed most incorrect. Between CIV and my recently new born child I really need sleep...
