Wittlich, are you trying to say you have never even investigated the Double Your Pleasure (DyP) mod???

cdgroup.org is a good place to go to investigate it. The actual DyP mod is HERE. DyP is not for C3C, they are doing the C3C mod under the name of Rise and Rule.

Actually, no I never have Jaybe. Sure, I've played around with DyP, but I've never delved too deeply into it.

Just to add to the confusion.........

Looks like the complainers are winning again

A new update will be available later today. I reverted the code back to how it worked in PTW & Civ3, fixed the SPHQ, and slightly reduced the OCN you have when going into the city rank calculation. (There just isn't anyway you will EVER have city rank surpass an OCN of 100+!!


v1.14 BETA
* Returned Corruption calculation to Civ3/PTW's method. However, OCN was calculating too high and has been reduced. Building a Forbidden Palace gives the full bonus back.
* Re-updated Civilopedia for FP.
* Removed MP Player # restrictions for Tiny/Small maps. WARNING: Until the terrain calculation is fixed you may receive an OOS on the 1st turn from players having the same starting locations.
* Editor: No Corruption option for Gov't Corruption Types added

Wow, fickle. I really want to emphasise again how great it is Firaxis is following this beta patch route. However I remain perplexed at their seeming complete lack of direction.

[Stuie]

Is this JUST a corruption patch? What happened to this stuff???

Currently Targeted Items:
Planting Forests not returning shields, AI Pathfinding War Declarations w/ Invisible Units, infinite bombard, Anarchy Limited to 8 turns (weighting the roll for 3-5 turns), Religious requiring only 1 End Turn for gov't switch, Stealth Attack hitpoints listed & canceling possible, Tile Info displaying Terrain Defensive Bonus & ManMade Defensive Bonuses, Bombard Collateral Damage, load popup showing remaining movement points, worker gangs, conquest updates, civilopedia updates

Editor: setting max length of anarchy, setting combat rolls, enslaving to same unit, Debug Command for in-game reloading of Civilopedia/Scripts/Labels.txt, missing assets allowing continue into game, government-specific units, obsolete flag fixes, toggling palace popup, allowing civs existence without cities

Well, this is not Firaxis who is releasing this beta version.

[smellymummy]

if not firaxis, and obviously not atari, then who is allowed to do that?

Conmcb25: What site is CDZ ? That is a joke, right?

CIV III Duel Zone.

No they are a bonafide site. They are in the C3C IDG.

Im not that familiar with the site and I dont know who col is but from his post he sounded like a programmer, working on this. Read it closely.

Here is the link

Beta 1.14 at CDZ

Thank-you conmcb25.

[Wittlich]

Ok, It's a lot clearer now. Thanks for the link Con.
So I guess CDZ is kind of affiliated with Firaxis - as far as beta testing goes.

No problem guys, if I hadn't been poking around the UN at CDG today, I would not have seen it.

I dont know about the Firaxis CDZ connection.

It could be just that particular programmer who posts there instead of here.

If it comes out today, Im sure Jesse or someone will post here.

The interesting thing is corruption is BACK to the PtW model. Does that mean RCP is back?

[DrSpike]

I think not. As I understand it (and I am far from being sure ) the intention was always to return to Vanilla/PTW model but with RCP and the palace rank exploit both removed.

In the release patch for C3C they fixed those 2 exploits but screwed up the rank calculations regarding the FP. In 1.13 they removed that bug, but the FP only worked on distance corruption without creating a new set of city ranks for rank corruption.

1.14 will hopefully be the original model (FP provides a new set of city ranks) with RCP removed, and no palace rank exploit - that is you wont be able to get a load of cities with rank 1 with a certain palace placement.

[conmcb25]

Yep the last would be ideal, lets keep our fingers crossed :crossfingers:

[Inverse Icarus]

alright. i'll just wait for someone i know to post a patch. this is getting rediculous.
