  • Random civilisations

    Whenever I start a new game, the civilisations are never random. They are always the same: Ireland, England, Scotland & America, assuing I pick 5 civilisations. Choosing more civilisations still keeps those ones but adds another one. Is there something I'm not doing right? No option I choose seems to make a difference. I have version 1.1

    I recently found out that this works:
    Go to the CTP2_program directory and look for the file, 'userprofile.txt' Change the line that says NONRANDOMCIVS=YES to NONRANDOMCIVS=NO and save. Then start a new game, but make sure it is not on Beginner or Easy level, otherwise it will reset to Non-random.

    Also, you may have to alter the same line in the Profile.txt file, located in the gamedata directory. However, I found that it worked fine when I changed the userprofile.txt.

    Soon you'll be competing against the Egyptians, Phoenicians, and Persians . Good luck!

      Excellent! It works, thanks. I'm only a beginner so it'll be probably be a little tricky playing it at harder levels, but I'm sure I'll work it out eventually.

        Well, you might be surprised at how easy CTP2 is, (unmodified).
        The "Hard" Level plays like "Chieftan" in Civ2.
        Glad to be of help.
