Ok

I wanted to build a scenario whereas only certain units were avaiable...from start of game to finish.

What I did was go to the UNITS.TXT file

find the settlers unit then simply make an obsolete tecnology and plug it in.

The next thing would be to set the enabling technolgy and disabling technolgy the same.

Word of caution though on two points:

#1-To avoid a crash make sure, I believe Machine Gunner is indeed one of them, that if say you have a technolgy or unit going enabled at one and it has "2" obsolete technology potentials that you completly erase the second line...

Now another problem, if you have ruins in the RISK.TXT file I have found even though I have it impossible to actually build I still have found them in the ruins.

One possible idea is to have the percent chance at -0- for units being able to find. Same for cities or settlers-0- %. If you want ruins make it for all gold and then maybe make it from 100 on minimum to maybe 200 on maximum gold.

Just a few pieces of feedback from a NON-EXPERT who learned the hardway..

Many EXPERTS here whom could possibly help better

Question..you gonna disable some advances? I mean..maybe Mills & Factories..but Nuclear Plants & Robotic Plants? Drug Stores and such?


Just asking...
