FOR THE VERSION COMPATIBLE WITH THE APOLYTON PACK, PLEASE SEE THE README FOR THE PACK VERSION. March 13th, 2000. (BY Nordicus --aka. Thomas Hempstock ---- additional work done by Gemini-- aka. Darryl Marcinkoski and ETB -- aka. Chuck Bryan) Contents: 1 . Information 2 . Installation 3 . More info... 1. Information : Disclaimer: NO WARRANTY ----------- THIS New Trade Goods MOD IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY AS TO MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR ANY OTHER WARRANTIES EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED. THE AUTHORS/CREATORS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR DATA LOSS, DAMAGES, LOSS OF PROFITS OR ANY OTHER KIND OF LOSS WHILE USING OR MISUSING THIS MOD OR ANY FILES ASSOCIATED WITH THE Nordicus New Trade Goods Mod. ----------- The authors/creators are in no way associated with Activision or any other company that is involved with Civilization: Call to Power. ----------- Firstly, a great deal of thanks to Gemini (Darryl) for the awesome work with the sprites, ETB (Chuck) for testing, adapting files to work with the Pack, and the excellent work on the gl text files (as well as making pre-release versions available at his website); thanks also to Timothy Pintello for discovering how to add food, shield, and gold values to the new trade goods (making them resources rather than just trade goods), and thanks to Paul van den Belt for fixing that irritating right-clicking message bug. Secondly, special thanks to Wes Whitaker, 'Wheathin,' John LeMaitre, 'Locutus' (Wouter Snijders), 'Skorpion59' (Don Blevens), 'Poling' (Jay), and anyone else who offered suggestions, feedback, or helped by testing or otherwise helped in some way with the mod. This is a mod which adds 33 new trade goods to Civilization : Call to Power. It is the result of about two months' work -- almost five, really, but off & on . I found the default CtP trade goods ( only 17 of them) disappointing and quite inadequate (and not all that practical -- well, several of them I found a bit questionable as trade goods) for trade on a planetary scale -- moreso when I moved up in map sizes and when I made an earth map. So, I hoped to add realism, diversity of resourses, and increased competition for those resources. This brings the total to 52 trade goods available now in CtP. Of course, only 38 trade goods can be used in one game at one time. Also, the ones chosen were done so for use with an earth-type map, so additional versions are on pending...depending on demand. True realism could not be obtained because of CtP's 2 trade-goods-per-terrain 'rule,' and not all the new trade goods/resources could be used in one game at one time because of this. If you are not satisfied with the pre-selected choices for resources, instructions can be found (in the More info... section) which will assist you in changing any of the 52 resources for your games. Terrain & Trade Goods: This is a quick run through showing the food, production (shield), and gold values for each resource--more detailed and extensive information, in a spreadsheet format, can be found next to this readme; these values benefit a city whose worker is laboring on the good in question; they do not affect trade. The trade values of course affect trade and gold collected through it. Resource Values Trade Values Food Shield Gold Gold [1. Forest] 1. Silk -- 5 10 10 2.

Additional Trade Goods include: Buffalo, Olives, Camels, Potatoes, Lemons, Peat, Peppers, Tomatoes, and Strawberries. Default CtP trade goods which have been replaced in this version: Beaver, Giant Squid, Alligator, Elephant, Jade, Tobacco, and Sugar. 2. Installation: The Nordicus New Trade Goods (Non-CD version) modification requires that Activision Civilization: Call to Power be properly installed on your computer in order to function. In addition, installation of the Civilization: Call to Power Patch v1.2 and the Apolyton version 1.21 "Hack" is recommended. Please follow the following steps to install this modification: 1) Simply run the install program, 'Nordicus New Trade Goods v1.4.EXE'. The install program will assume the scenario CtP directory. If you did not install CtP to the scenario location make sure you alter this 'Install-To' directory during your install. 2) This install is only for the Original CtP v1.2 Files (in the Original CtP structure). It is not intended for use with any modifications (such as the Apolyton Pack, Wes's Medieval Mod, or Wes's Modern Mod). This modification has been adapted for use with the Apolyton Pack and Wes's Medieval Mod. You will need to download the corresponding new trade goods modification file for use with these mods. 3) This modification is designed not to overwrite any of the default CtP files, even though additional sound and Great Library files will be placed in their respective default directories. To see which files are installed by this mod, run the install program and specify a temporary directory instead of the top-level CtP directory. The created directory structure will show up in the temporary directory. You will then need to run the install again using the CtP top-level directory in order for the modification to work. 4) Users of this mod will need to select the Nordicus scenario pack to start a new game using the New Trade Goods mod. This mod is shipped with one scenario game already setup to run on a random map. Just select the remaining game setup options as a regular CtP game and start enjoying a whole new world of goods! Any additional scenarios that are made under the Nordicus scenario pack will automatically use the New Trade Goods mod. Files: Here are all the files that will be installed; note that * indicates a file that will be installed in the DEFAULT CtP DIRECTORY, all other files will be installed in a SCENARIO DIRECTORY. This list is provided mainly for those who wish to move the files from a temporary directory to the main or default CtP directory, and so it shows where the files need to go. scenarios\nordicus\ctp_data\default: [gamedata] concept.txt concepticon.txt goods.txt goodsicon.txt goodsID.txt sounds.txt terrain.txt terrainicon.txt [graphics] [pictures] 33 tga gl (Great Library) 'concept' files, CG020F.tga to CG052F.tga 33 tga 'trade screen' files, beginning as UPBA....

More Info... Terrain Changes: (Please see the spreadsheet next to this readme for more information.) For added realism, many changes have been made to most terrain tiles; also, to balance the extra resources now available on these tiles, some characteristics have been adjusted; all of this was done in an attempt to have a more Earth-like world with Earth-type values for terrain in general (polar mountains are regarded as extremely high mountain ranges now, for instance), making resources much more valuable and giving slightly more realistic combat results, depending on the terrain, giving terrain increased strategic importance (terrain defense value changes shown in this color [or in bold as posted here]).

CHANGING TRADE GOODS: Here is a simple guide to change any trade goods in Civilization: Call to Power. Say that you wish to change Plains goods2, Grapes, to Buffalo--I had originally chosen Buffalo, but, wanting these for an earth map, since there's no Buffalo occuring naturally outside of North America, this left only 1 trade good for the Plains terrain in Europe, Asia, Africa, etc. To change this, first open the goods.txt file (ctp\data\default\gamedata folder), assuming you have this mod installed already. You'll see this # Grapes 18 TERRAIN_PLAINS_GOOD_TWO { GOOD_SOUND_ID SOUND_ID_GRAPES GOOD_GOLD_VALUE 5 } as the 19th good down the list (listed as 18th, since the 1st, Silk, is actually 0). Change to this: # Buffalo 18 TERRAIN_PLAINS_GOOD_TWO { GOOD_SOUND_ID SOUND_ID_BUFFALO GOOD_GOLD_VALUE 5 } You can set the gold trade amount to whatever you feel is appropriate. Now, in that same folder, open terrain.txt. Scroll down to PLAINS (it will be the 2nd terrain listed). Keep scrolling until you find ###Grapes### GOOD2 { GOOD_INDEX 18 PROBABILITY 0.5 GOOD_CAN_DIE ENV_BASE { ENV_SCORE 386 ENV_GOLD 5 ENV_FOOD 10 } TRANSFORM_REMOVE 1 50 TRANSFORM_ADD 1 400 TRANSFORM_ADD_ADVANCE ADVANCE_TOOLMAKING TRANSFORM_REMOVE_ADVANCE ADVANCE_TOOLMAKING } this. All you might want to change would be the bonuses, perhaps replacing the ENV_GOLD bonus for an ENV_SHIELD one, like this: ###Buffalo### GOOD2 { GOOD_INDEX 18 PROBABILITY 0.5 GOOD_CAN_DIE ENV_BASE { ENV_SCORE 386 ENV_SHIELD 10 ENV_FOOD 10 } TRANSFORM_REMOVE 1 50 TRANSFORM_ADD 1 400 TRANSFORM_ADD_ADVANCE ADVANCE_TOOLMAKING TRANSFORM_REMOVE_ADVANCE ADVANCE_TOOLMAKING } Now you will receive a shield bonus of 10 rather than the gold bonus of 5. If you're not sure what else to change, then change nothing else here. Next, open up goodsicon.txt (same folder) and find TERRAIN_PLAINS_GOOD_TWO "UPBA5540.TGA" # Grapes 19 this. Change it to TERRAIN_PLAINS_GOOD_TWO "UPBABUFF.TGA" # Buffalo 19 this. You have just changed the trade screen graphic file responsible for the Plains' 2nd trade good. (Note: all new trade good UPBA files will have the first 4 letters of the good, such as BUFF for Buffalo. For default trade goods' UPBA file names, please see your default goodsicon.txt file.) Now, open up goodsID.txt (same folder) and find this line: TERRAIN_PLAINS_GOOD_TWO 8 # "Grapes" And change it to this: TERRAIN_PLAINS_GOOD_TWO 20 # "Buffalo" This tells CtP which sprite to use for Plains' 2nd trade good. 20 is the start of all the trade goods I have added--I will include a full list of these after this last step. Finally, exit this folder and enter english\gamedata. Find the gl_str.txt file. Scroll down, way down, until you find the "terrain strings" and then this line: TERRAIN_PLAINS_GOOD_TWO "Grapes" Simply change "Grapes" to "Buffalo;" now you will get the correct name, and that's it. Done. You can use this method for changing any trade good--all you need is the correct ID number in goodsID.txt. They indicate which sprite is to be used--the first sprite used without this mod would be, for Forests, 4 for Beaver, but in my mod it's Silk, 49. Here are all of them: 1. Diamonds 2. Rubies 3. Oil 4. Beaver 5. Tobacco 6. Poppies 7. Coffee 8. Grapes (otherwise called "cocoa") 9. Sugar 10. Jade 11. Elephant 12. Alligator 13. Caribou 14. Crab 15. Pearls 16. Whales 17. Giant Squid 18.

Rice VERSION HISTORY/KNOWN ISSUES: October 17th, 1999: Nordicus New Terrain & Trade Goods created, adding 22 trade goods and 14 new terrains for use with a WWII scenario; all graphic material completed, except for sprites, by the 19th; adding new terrains proved extremely difficult, and incorrect formats of targa files compounded the mod's delay in completion; it was scrapped in November. December 28th, 1999: Nordicus New Trade Goods v1.0 finished--functional. January 12th, 1999: v1.1: GL (Great Library) graphic files added; trade screen graphic files (the 6th set finally corrected the size problem) finished; sound files done. January 20th, 2000: v1.2: New GL graphic files complete; right-clicking message 'bug' not fixed yet.
