October Civ 2 Tournament: Celts

[Zenon]

I agree with Monk that we should just go on with the next Tournament. I have an interesting start that will be a nice challenge.




Settings:

Cunobelin of the Celts

Deity level
7 civs
Raging hordes
No restarts
Starting techs: none
Techs are always available for research
Medium map with some changes to terrain

Rules:

Tipping huts is not allowed.
It is not allowed to build Marco Polo´s Embassy (it may be captured, though).

The following techniques are not allowed:

1. Rehoming Caravans/Freight
2. Black Clicking
3. Unsinkable Triremes (in MPGE)
4. Reloading to change outcome, replaying parts of the game

Victory Conditions:

Earliest finish in one of these categories: conquest, spaceship or OCC

Submissions:

I hope MarkG will give us a new HOF thread to post the final savs. Until then just post in the Spoiler Thread.

Submissions are due November 21.

A little hint: it would be wise to think that the terrain changes are not favourable to the human player.
Have fun!

Obviously I don´t know how to insert the image into the post. How can I do it?

[Bloody Monk]

Thanks for picking up the slack, Zenon.

With the image you want centered on your screen, hit "screen shot" or "print screen" key, usually among the top three keys above the "arrow keys". This will save the image to clipboard which you can paste (CTRL-V) into "WIN Paint". Make any alterations and then "save as" a .jpg file. Then use the regular attachment feature on this page to browse to and add the image here. Hopefully, I have remembered and explained that correctly.

Here it is, and as Monk says, you need it in JPG format. GIF doesn't work here.

Thanks to Zenon for getting the ball rolling.

[Bloody Monk]

Thanks, solo; I only had time earlier for the instructions.

BTW, is there a possible SSC site close by??

The save seems to be in a non-English language (possibly German). Can this be changed? Will this change anything?

Sorry, RJM! To give this starting position to the Celts I had to save as a scenario in between. This is why the sav "remembers" that my version of 2.42 was originally German. It does not influence the game but I apologize for the inconvenience.

The only certain way to change the language in the European versions I know of is this:

Go to your civ2 folder and then open this file with the editor:
advice.txt
Copy the text, then open advice.ger and replace the German text. Save.
Repeat with other files like
City.txt => City.ger
Game.txt => Game.ger
Labels.txt => Labels.ger
Mapmenu.txt => Mapmenu.ger
Menu.txt => Menu.ger
Pedia.txt => Pedia.ger
Rules.txt => Rules.ger

That´s the way I changed my version to English. Unfortunately it is not a real English version and now caused this problem.

I hope I don´t have to change the thread title to "Zenon´s unavoidable technical problems".

[Bloody Monk]

Chill...out.

Everything is in English, as far as I can tell, except the Civ Names, and that is not so hard to figure out. No need to change anything. The techs are in English, the dialog boxes are in English, the Build orders are in English.

If someone has a problem with Kelten = Celt, maybe a simple list of translations for the Civ names is in order, but I really think this is not a deal breaker.

I am reporting on Civ v2.42.

Monk

[solo]

Same here.

I kind of prefer seeing the Civ names in Deutsch!

[Zenon]

Glad to hear that. I had allready imagined desperate players searching in a dictionary what these strange tech names would mean.

Zenon, the very eastern Celt from somewhere between Bayern and Schleswig

No problem with German names as far as I am concerned, but I am buried in a Spanish scenario, need a few more days until conquest is completed.
