    how to determine the seed

    Hi, I was wondering if any of you guys know how to find out what is the seed of an saved game? I played several games after a certain game, and when I loaded that save I wanted to save the seed, so I can replay it later with different winning conditions and difficulties.

    Thanx in advance...

    The current game should have its seed in the init file. If it is zero, I think that mena it is none epic game or has been modified, but I am not positive.

      From just a .sav file, AFAIK no.

        If you're refering to Conquest.ini file, it has the seed of the last world played, however it does not contain seed of the current saved game (or at least I don't see it). I played several new games after this save, and when I loaded that game it always had the same seed, and the only thing that confirmed that this is new ini file is changing of "Latest Save" line... If I am doing something wrong or if this it isn't the Conquest.ini file, could you be more specific?

        Thanx for your efforts...

          00h: WRLD (first one)
          AEh: Seed (4 bytes)

          You need the same settings to get the same map though. The settings also look to be stored in the WRLD section, but figuring out which matches which will take a bit more time.

          WRLD (third one)
          04h: Length (4 bytes)
          08h: Climate (0 = Arid, 1 = Normal, 2 = Wet)
          0Ch: Climate (mirror)
          10h: Barbarians (FFFF = No, 0 = Sedentary, 1 = Roaming, 2 = Restless, 3 = Raging)
          14h: Barbarians (mirror)
          18h: Landform (0 = Archipelago, 1 = Continents, 2 = Pangaea)
          1Ch: Landform (mirror)
          20h: Water Level (0 = 80%, 1 = 70%, 2 = 60%)
          24h: Water Level (mirror)
          28h: Temperature (0 = Warm, 1 = Temperate, 2 = Cool)
          2Ch: Temperature (mirror)
          30h: Age (0 = 3 Billion, 1 = 4, 2 = 5)
          34h: Age (mirror)
          38h: World Size (0 Tiny, 4 Huge)

              This is an easy way:
              when you finish a game, start a new one w/ 'Play Last World' choice, and seed # will be on the world page. Make a note of it, and use it whenever you want.
              Let me just add: I think this works. It's been months since I 1st noticed the # there, and haven't bothered with it since.

                isn't that a different type of seed?

                I'm completely confused now
