MOD: korn's Blitz Mod x2

[korn469]

I appologize for the long wait between the last version of the Blitz mod and this version. However, hopefully my schedule will allow for me to keep this version on track. This new version of the Blitz mod isn't as expansive as the last one, so for now it is kind of a Blitz mod light, but in time I hope to add in everything this version is missing plus much more. It is currently in beta and I make no guarantees on it's stability, but it should work as a scenario file and I created it with 1.29f. Good luck, and report any problems you encounter. I am going to go slow for now but hopefully we can make some progress. The next thing on my to do list is to add in the building changes back in.

Enjoy!

Great! Thanks for the effort, as always korn.

Do the expensive, wheeled Settlers fix ICS?

[korn469]

Great! Thanks for the effort, as always korn.

well i hope you have as much fun with it as i have

Do the expensive, wheeled Settlers fix ICS?

i personally think that normal civ3 fixed ICS, but that the rate of expansion was a little too fast, and 3 pop 50 shield settlers certainly slow REX down some, but try it and tell me what you think

[lockstep]

Welcome back, korn! I think I'm going to try this new version soon.

[korn469]

lockstep

glad to know you are still around
i'm looking forward to your insights again

A question to Soren:

In korn's blitz mod, some improvements were added that yielded only culture. The AI's actually chose to build some of them. How did they decide on that? Does every improvement that yields culture fall in the 'culture' category?

Originally posted by Soren Johnson Firaxis
At the beginning of the game, the AI preprocesses every unit/building to put them into multiple categories, such as trade, wealth, and culture. Thus, a cultural bank would be listed as both a cultural and a wealth building.

Nice to see you again Korn !

[monkspider]

looks lovely Korn

[korn469]

thanks for all the kind words guys

i'm still working alot but i get a few days off this week and i am going to add in the buildings then, i don't have much time to looks for bugs so if you can please report anything that doesn't seem to be working correctly

thanks and enjoy!

[TechWins]

ah it's nice to see you back, korn. aren't you the popular one! maybe i might get back to playing civ3 again...nah probably not but i might still look at your mod every once in a while to give you some insight.

[Kramerman]

This will go on my list of, to do stuff. Sounds great

[Desert Dog]

Suggestion

Why not use the zip program to place all files in their proper folders rather then make people who use your mod create folders? Very simple to do and saves everyone from the tedious work of creating folders. Unzip the mod into all the proper folders and locations. It just seems like a lot of work for nothing new animation wise etc. Good to see you "finally" working on your mod though. Welcome back from a long time away

[korn469]

desert dog

how would you do that with a normal zip? give me a step by step and i'll do that
afaik what you are talking about sounds like a self extracting zip file, which you are not supposed to use to distribute files unless you actually bought a copy and i haven't, and i don't want to get apolyton in trouble
