My approach to this was to increase the cost of ocean and sea travel to galleys to 2. In addition, I made it so that you can't trade maps or contact till Navigation.

My mods

3 new civs--Incas, Scots, Ethiopians with UUs & text.

Culture group changes--U.S. is European, Spain is Mediterranean, Egypt is Middle Eastern.

The Military Academy needs only 5 barracks, not a victorious army, since Heroic Epic has the same requirement, and the 5 barrack requirement condition is the one stated in the manual.



New world size, gigantic--220x220, all 27 civs, replaces small.

Additional citynames and leaders.

Hwacha has lethal bombardment. (I'm thinking of changing this further, I'm running a poll about lethal bombardment in PTW to get feedback on this)

Possible future change: There are 3 militant expansionists: Zulus, Vikings, Mongols. There are 3 religious militants: Aztecs, Celts, Japanese. There are only 15 possible attribute combos. With the max 31 civs, each possible paiing should have 2 civs, and one pairing will have 3. Thus, 1 of the above civs mentioned needs its attributes changed. I just haven't figured out which one yet.

27? I thought there were only 24 -- or did you add a few?

It's possible to have 31.

re: my mod

Mad Monk, as I stated, I added three new civs. All of these have UUs and animations. I also added them into the civopedia. These three are available as downloads in the mods section, made by persons much more talented than I. I could add four more to make it 31, but I don't have the tools to make animated leaderheads or UUs or any of that. So 27 it is for now.

123john321, just go into the PTW editor. Select your mod, and click customize rules. Select the improvement/wonders tab. On the left side, under required advanced, you will see improvement/ wonder. In the example above of the Military Academy, I selected barracks. You now have an option to set the number. Set it to 5, and deselect the Requires Victorious Army condition.
Also, you should change the civopedia entry to reflect this.

Don't have PTW...

[Konquest02]

I like the AU mod (see strategy forum), as it changes a few things, while staying close to the original rules. A few I like:

- Infantry 8/10/1, as it provides an alternative for cavalry while waiting for tanks.
- Military Academy available at MTradition, to encourage the builder at heart and to get the AI to build more armies.
- Zero range bombard for Archers and Longbowmen.

You don't need it for that.

Mad Bomber:

when you flagged the Cruise Missles as Tactical Nukes did you change any AI settings and if so, did the AI behave as you expected (i.e. it did not launch a nuclear attack on you)? I am thinking of making that mod since I prefer Cruises Missiles to act like in Civ2.

[Mad Bomber]

Ragui:

I also have crusie missles flagged as immobile, and have Destroyers, Cruisers, Battleships and Subs able to use them.
I keep the Cruise missle flag, which allows the game engine to read it as a cruise missle attack, and not a nuklear attack. With this mod the ships with a transport tactical missle ability and airfields are able to use it. The AI will only launch these from Cities however.

[Stuie]

My "favorite" changes... I've made quite a few, but to keep it short:

No exchanging maps until Astronomy, no exchanging communications until Navigation.

Changed move costs: Sea = 2, Ocean = 3 and no "wheeled" units.
Flagged Galleys as "wheeled".
Doubled the movement points for ALL ships up through Iron Clad.
Flagged every ship above Iron Clad to treat all terrain as roads.

Note that I usually play on a 170x170 map.

[Master Zen]

I just made a test scenario with the new Cruise Missile attributes and it works like a charm.

What difference does it make to have naval units "treat all terrain as roads"?
