Edited Advances.txt- now Crashes to windows?!?!

[Al'Kimiya]

I played around a bit with the lines

BORDER_INT_RADIUS 4
BORDER_SQUARED_RADIUS 20

in ctp2_data\default\gamedata\const.txt

as well as the SquaredRadius setting in citysizeX.txt

This in order to test different city influence settings and discovered the following:

first off.. the border_int_radius seems to do nothing (at least not that affects gameplay, I could be wrong though, correct me if so)

The border_squared_radius is interesting, corresponding the SquaredRadius in the citysizeX.txt determines which squares belong to a city influence.

I found out the following:

---------------
---------------
-----JHGHJ-----
----IFEDEFI----
---JFCBABCFJ---
---HEB000BEH---
---GDA0x0ADG---
---HEB000BEH---
---JFCBABCFJ---
----IFEDEFI----
-----JHGHJ-----
---------------
---------------

Where x is the city.
The letters denote areas under city influence (including areas with lower letter).

Producing a little table:

SquaredRadius     Letter
0-3               0
4                 A
5-7               B
8                 C
9                 D
10-12             E
13-15             F
16                G
17                H
18-19             I
20-24             J

(Yes, I restarted the game MANY times )

You can enter larger numbers in the citysizeX.txt, but make sure the BORDER_SQUARED_RADIUS is at least as large as the largest citysize. Don't know if the game will crash but it's illogical

Btw, does anyone know why there are 6 citysize files containing the same data?

Anyway, I hope someone has any use for this!

I finally got 60% coverage. After ten turns, the gaia controller in available in 0 turns. I think I have a core and satilite in every city. But the science victory window just sits there with the green bar. It is 2413. What do I need to do?

Just keep posting away like I'm doing here (this makes post #28 for me)!!!

Or go to the Creation section and look at OmniGod's 14 civ map of the world- you can down load it from there.

[romelus]

woohoo it worked !

i'm playing on impossible now, and doing quite well - you guys are right the computer just doesn't attack well at all, although the barbarians have given me a run for my money! they've taken over 4 german cities too and have been holding them for ever.

The Manuel,page 16, (aka Pamphlet)says that 2300 AD is the Chronological end of the game.

And how do you make a red frown face?

Someone help me!

My CTP2 keeps booting me to the desktop with the error "Invalid Path" or some such nonsense, I used to get it in CTP1, but a patch fixed it. I've got the full install on the hard drive. It does it at random during the game. It's infuriating! Help!

nothing accrues- nada- just like when a wonder is built by someone other than you- all those turns are wasted unless you stick another wonder right under the one you are trying to build. You may want to put a mayor on there are when you can use captialization it will accrue cash or int. accrues PW.
