one more question.... do all mod files go straight into the Data folder? or do the invasion tactics mod go into the invasiontactics folder inside the data folder? thanks
ok...cool.... Now, what does the Captain Bizzares Reordered Data File Pack do exactly? It looks like it replaces many files....Not sure i want to install it without knowing what all it does... Thanks
someone told me last nite on SDC that the problem is caused by a random event, Labor Unrest, from the Library....i deleted that event, and it workes fine now
by using those mods that are on your site, will that mess up metaverse game scores?
OK, keep getting Crash to Desktop when it starts to go into UP meeting. Cannot go past current game turn, due to UP meeting.
I have been able to do this 3 times... I have game settings to Gigantic galaxy, Common planets, scattered. AI is set to SubNormal, and all are set to Random alignment. It also only crashes after i watch the full opening video (the video with the robots welding the ship)... CTD EVERYTIME (3 times so far, every time i have tried)
if they put in multiplayer, wouldn't that divide their time up with updates to the game/ai and patching the multiplayer function? I think if they did put in multiplayer, ppl would then be complaining that Brad and Co. were not fixing/adding things to the game.... I would MUCH rather have great and consistent updates to a GREAT single player game, than to have multiplayer put in and cause more trouble/bugs...(AND to take up time fixing, than putting time into the single player g
they were removed (just not from the manual) for balance issues...
i know what the flagship is...but considering that the flagship can become one of the strongest ships around...just kinda surprised me that they gave it up....
i got a message from the Drengin, offering me tribute.... Well, i noticed in their list of ships...they had teh Arceans Empire Flagship (?) Interesting I thought that the Arceans for some reason gave over their flagship to the Drengin...
i think it is the fancy word for "influence"...i think
one more thing.... I am using large maps (or larger)
Does anyone have any effective strategies for using these guys? I try, but it seems it causes more work for me....i know that they are there to make my job easier...but i feel like i am giving up my power...plus, it seems as though I am constantly getting more social buildings, and i cannot keep up with the build order... Any strat tips?
that would be really good....i really wish that something with fleet combat could be put in....doesn't Civ3 even have armies (and it is something that has to be researched or earned, right?) maybe somewhere along the tech tree, the opportunity to build fleets, or to "upgrade" a particular ship to admiral status or something.... I don't know...but i think that is one of the VERY few things that is lacking in this game...
@Vridian: Strange thing is...they are so "Good", i get jumped by them much more than even the Drengins...
the Altarians are the ones that i always have problems with...even when i am "good" I have been on a Anti-Altarians crusade for my last 3 games
Is there any way to stop paying tribute to an empire while i am at war with that empire? Example: I started giving 10 bc per month to the Altarians to keep peace (long enough for me to get Battleships). They ended up declaring war on me anyhow...when they did that, they ended their (trade) tribute to me...but i am still paying them 10 bc per month....i am helping them defeat me.....
ok, in my current game... version: 1.01a.034 Trade Goods...my understanding is, once a trade good is built, no other empire is allowed to build them.... In my current game, I built Diplomatic Translators...the very next turn, the Altarians built them also. In the diplo screen with them, the trade good is not available to trade with them, neither do they have it to trade with me. But, with another race, I can trade it. Altarians are Pure Good alignment, SubNor
maybe they were using the Terror Star for the "safety" of the Galaxy? In my game last nite, the Alterians were at war with everyone (but me, we were allies)....a new minor nation would show up...and within a turn or two, they would declare war on them.... They may be good, but they are some bad dudes...
what are the asterisks (*) for? I see them sometimes on planets on the planets sidebar.... I noticed last nite though that they were on planets that i had conquered in war....is that what they are there for?
I have been able to get my downloads with no problem....using SDC
i had found out about orbiting (you may very well already know this)..... After your ship is built, and you are taken to that planet's production screen, just launch the ship from there (same place as when you launch a ship from a star system.... Makes things MUCH easier for me to keep track of things. Like, where are those Constructors...Colony Ships....
My diplomat's answer to the Drengin demanding one of my top Star Systems: "Oh? Well I have a message for you: Kiss. My. Ass." That happened last nite....i nearly fell out of my chair when that came on the screen....
