	The Missing Links - V2.0 Remove this text

All,

In this mod for PTW/Conquests, I took some of the more interesting concepts I found all over the web, mixed them together and made additional changes of my own. I tried to evenly spread the new creations over the different stages of the game. The result is (I hope) a cool but realistic increase in gameplay, while staying close to the original game concepts and rules.

Enjoy!

Edit 26/12/03: Version 2 released !
TML2 adds 2 tribes, 9 civilization advances, 8 new buildings, 11 new wonders, 4 new resources, 2 new governments and 20 new units.
The file is a self-extracting archive (35MB), including both a .bix for PTW, and a .biq for Conquests compatibility !!!


The Missing Links is available from CCJ39's homepage here:
http://www.ccj39.com/civ3modpacks.php

I'm currently working on the next version, but here's something you could use already. I've made Refrigeration/Supermarket/Food Supplies.

I use it as follows:
new tech Refrigeration (prereq electricity, sanitation)
new resource Food Supplies appears, only in mountains (you could add desert and tundra)
new improvement Supermarket, gives +50% luxury output

I played through it and found some problems. The AI really can abuse those assasins, the civ with canibis always end up beating the civs without, and also the Kelp farm doesn't seem to stay in the city after 2 turns of it being built- it just disappears, I don't know why, then you rebuild and the same thing happens again and again.......

Thanks for the feedback
Normally, there should be enough cannabis in the world so you either have it yourself or can trade it with someone else. The AI with Assassins does not need to win. My original beta-tester said it was difficult, and getting used to, but he kicked the AIs ass. It's a change in stategy: yes, assassins are strong and dangerous, but if you build enough Prophets, you can see them coming. That's why a prophet costs 0 maintenance, and you can join them to an existing city afterwards.
Now about the Kelp Farm: I have no clue. I'll try to figure it out and fix it for the next release (v2.00, around X-mas).

could you send me a savefile of your game, with at least 1 Kelp Farm present, so I can have a look what it actually does ? kris.verhelst @ skynet.be
Thanks.

	Put an end to popups!

you definitely have a problem somewhere on your side.
I just played with your savefile for about 15 turns, and nothing's wrong with the Kelp farms: they work just fine (food increase) and none of them "disappear". Must come from some other edit you've made somewhere...

okay, well then maybe it is my problem. I did edit around a bit. I am not sure exactly why though.

Anyway, I appreciate your work, thanks for the updates. Do they work with older save files?

The best would be to start a new game all together.
TML2 is really quite "enhanced" compared to version 1.
