Civ3 Mod

[Ekmek]

I got to add a *bump* to this because I've seen some people asking about Civ3 stuff.

I still need to finish the new units for the mods. Ithink I'm going to focus on finishing the AOM stuff before CTC or Cradle.

Okay I've updated my Civ3 cities

Civ3 Cities for Ctp2 28 Aug 2005 [/

For stuff beyond modern (computer, genetic, diamond) I have reduced them to one sprite to make room for more city styles as it stands these are the city style I have now:

MesoAmerican
Roman
Arabian
Spanish
European
U.S. (and Canadian)
Native American
African
South East Asian (polynesian etc)
Indian (as in India)

Somehow I put Indian in twice but I'll add Egyptian back in later. Also for African and European there are unique graphics for the Rennaissance and Classical age.

Included is the a new agecitystyle, citystyle, and civilisation txt files for the playtest versions

Also I have the small tga in the zip so you can see them in the editor (although they are small)

I put them in the zip. Atleast I thought I did. When I get home I'll see what the problem is. sorry.

Ok it should be good to go

Civ3 Cities for Ctp2 28 Aug 2005

[Ekmek]

anyone try it?

[Maquiladora]

Yep, i only tried them on the original CtP2 tiles so far so they dont fit as well as some of the screenshots show above on the civ3 terrain. The orientation on the tiles looks pretty good on most, without getting some kind of "jumping" effect when the sprite changes anyway.

I started making a big screenshot with all styles, sizes and ages but i did it on the original terrain which isnt as good, may try to put them on the civ3 terrains tomorrow, will be good to promote them though, they definitely deserve it.

with a lot of my coding goals almost dne I've also worked on doing a mod CIV3 The Way It Should Have Been

I'm taking the units, buildings, and advances from civ3 so it h as that flow plus the graphics I've done. I'll add in the strategic resources and the hidden nationality stuff once I'm done. I'm also looking to redo the diplomacy interface. but so far advances, units, and building txt files are almost done.

I resist the temptation to correct people's English most of the time (If nothing else, it's hypocritical ), but since this is a title, I would advise you to change it to "CIV3 The Way It Should have Been".

Anyway, it sounds intriguing. I hope you get some interest.

The code work your doing will break new ground for CtP2 E . A diplomacy screen update that gives a sense that the AI is not just a computor program is hard to do.
SMAC comes to mind as I havnt seen anything better.
Adding or combing the intel screen with more screens that give information on how the AI relates to us might improve things.

The civ3 mod is playable!

Its in a rough form but most of the graphics are there. Here's the readme (also attached). Report any probs here. I really did this mod or me because I always wanted to see a Civ3/Ctp2 mix and I think I'm close. I still have some work to do and I havent made this with modmanager so you'l have to back up files.

WAAAH. I'm trying to install this dealie, but it gives me errors concerning the units.txt file (seems like every line has an error)

[Ekmek]

sorry, my civ3mod is going through a lot of updates at the moment.

[Ekmek]

Depending on how Fugi does with my Rev buids I may have a new BETA of m civ3mod out soon here's a sample of the features:

FEATURES:
- Limited Settling: Settlers only can settle on grass, Plasins, and Desert (desert is not recommended)
- Rivers are VERY valuable more food and gold
- Advanced Farms enable goods: These goods are differnt per terrain and have a TRADEFOOD value. Tradefood means that if you create a traderoute of that good the city wont get the food bonus but the receiving city will. It works to build cities in your empire or to other players
- Plantations: special improvements that give high value gold goods
- Buildings add to Radius: Courthouses and Bureaucracies increase your city radius, not population
- TradeProd: Some goods (like Lumber) increase production in the city that has it. If you dont trade you keep it, if not the recipient gets it.
- Units costs Gold:
- GoldPerCity
- SmallWonders
- Slavers can be killed without starting a war although it affects regard
- Privateers have sneakattack and sneakbombard capabilities
- NonlethalBombardment - most artillery and bombers dont kill improvements
- TileBombardment - some unitscan destroy tile improvements
- CultureOnly units Legions and Samurai are available to only specific civilizations
- NeedsGood: Some units like Horses and Elepphants require any city to be colecting or buying that good
- Buildings with goods: some buildings give your city a good but is not tradeable (stables give horses)
- IncreaseBombard range: most artillery have different bombard ranges
- Oil wells and drilling platforms are restricted to the oil good
- Barbarians only produce guerrillas and the reproduce each turn so expect "guerrilla wars" in the modern era
- Tyrranies and Theocracies have high food coefficients, weak in many ways they have huge populations so expect third world like situations
- Barracks make Veteran units
- some buildings require multiple buildings throughout the empire to build (like the feat)
- Only religious units can perform the "reform order"

I have more to add but this shows a good sample of how much has been added to ctp2
