Double Your Pleasure - Mod Under Construction

[Kal-el]

I have already been accused of the mod being too Americentric and I think the Empire State Building fills the same role that the WTC towers would.

Thoughts...

I just talked a friend with a cable modem into D/Ling DyP for me. I must say, it does take the game to new levels! Kudos...


Here are a couple of my variations on the game you may want to consider:

Settlers [one for each era]:

The earliest settlers were Nomads that found a fertile area and stopped moving. Their settlements were generally unplanned and; for the most part; "just happened."
(0.0.1)

The exploration of the New World lead many to plan a move to this new "wilderness." These Colonists arrived in ships and moved inland mostly on foot with pack animals to carry their meager possessions. They were equipped with firearms to defend themselves.
(0.1.1)

Western Pioneers used Covered Wagons carry their possessions throughout the Western United States. The wagons also increased their rate of travel over the Great Plains. They too carried firearms to defend themselves.
(0.1.2)

Modern Moving Vans [et.al.] are capable of quickly shipping many people and goods vast distances. They are [generally] unarmed.
(0.0.3)
Uses 4 citizens [4 citizens make for a quick start city late in the game]
Transports 1 foot unit

Bronze:
Don't you find it strange that you can make all those bronze age units without actually having any bronze! (0.0.1)
Strategic
900/500 appear/disappear

looks nice, but with ALL the new techs. I don't think you could get to modern area before 2050AD...

[Kal-el]

Its possible. I have done it. There are many new ways to increase research.

The mod is well beyond the "under construction" tag by this point. check out the DyP forums for more indepth discussion

I hope 40 resource is the maximum...or else it will become quite comfusing.
Bonus resources should maybe be area specific if we are talking about a world map..

1 dates for desert in the middle east
2 herbs in amazon
3 bamboo for china - bamboo is still used today for construction temp. platform today.
4 Kangaroo + food for Aussie
5 Oyster for several places

I agree that it is impossible to irrigate in tundra...so give some more meat source to this region, and too bad we can't trade food...

I think desert is definitely irrigatable
just put more turns required. maybe 15turns?

For long range units,
small bow units does not have bombardment ability
long bows do :O

[mrboo123]

I have a idea! Has anyone condsied making a sinper until? Will a range of 1 square?

[Krakatoa]

bug found

the Crossbow hasnt the BOMBARD option, so, I cant bombard with this unit
Works fine for Archer

I download today DyP 1.50

Actually you shouldn't be able to bombard with either one of those units, and checking the BIX files, neither one has the Bombard flag set

They're only supposed to be using their bombard ability defensively, giving them a free retaliation attack, but they're no longer supposed to use the bombard ability offensively.

Which BIX file are you using?

Oh, I see... I suposed bombard value (4) was to be used, never saw a unit with bombard and no bomb attack
