The Balancer Reloaded mod (TBX-R) Preview Support Apolyton

For those of you who downloaded and played any of the Balancer series of mods for Civ3, you might be interested in knowing that we have a brand new version in the works for Conquests, The Balancer: Reloaded.

Here's what our testers have to say about it so far:

quote:
You have astounding ideas... Keep them coming. Where were you eons ago?


quote:
Hey now that might work really well. When can we test this out? I like it a lot and the assassin rocks... Great ideas guys!


quote:
In whole the game is flowing quite well leading me to believe we have a winner on our hands. Also if I may be so bold as to say the "RT" and "KH" graphics rock. More will be revealed as soon as I get to the knights which I am looking forward too. Great job guys and girls if there are any helping thus far.


quote:
Okay I tested and ended up getting "NG" and "AG" wonders back to back and once again Kingpin gets an atta boy. All is working well and working great, and there is even a bonus surprise for everyone, except Kingpin and I, you all will have to find out about, because I am not telling, LOL


Right now, we are working on the middle ages and testing everything up to that point. If you are a TBS or TBX fan and want to help out with the testing, send me a PM and I'll tell you how you can get involved.

i liked the balancer mod a lot but the thing that irritated me was that the civilopedia was not updated on the wonders etc,it would be nice to have that in this versian...

You're absolutely right about the civilopedia being incomplete in previous versions.

I am going to make sure that all that stuff is done properly this time around.

By the way, if you're interested in becoming one of our beta testers, let me know. Some of our testers have been less than active and we could use some new blood.

I must be really out of it...I have never heard of this "Balancer" mod. And I've heard/played Rhyes and DyP, too. I have my own mod that I am making/have made that I feel "balances" and deepens things nicely, while not over-doing it as some mods have done.

Got spare money?

I am expecting that this version of The Balancer, known as The Balancer Reloaded, will be done this month. It has taken so long becuase there are well over 400 units added to the game. It takes a while to do all that but we're in the home stretch now.

There is a public beta version available at Evo-games. See here for more details: http://www.evo-games.net/Home/viewf...aad8637315d5b00

I will be posting a beta tomorrow that will include all modern units.

I will then be sorting through some 250+ future units to see what I want to add. Barring any unforseen events, I should have all the units added by the end of June. A little more beta testing and some graphics tweaking after that and it will be released.

The beta thread is located here: http://www.evo-games.net/Home/viewtopic.php?t=620

The first post has the download. The first version is expected to be released by the end of the month. I think you may have to be a registered user in order to download... not sure about that.

Gatling Gun? Got spare money?

Thanks King...
(... where exactly did you post the fix...)
i couldn't wait for a fix so I improvised... i took a wav file from another unit folder and copied, renamed, and put in the gatling gun folder. To my amazement, it did work!
Right now, i'm almost at the end of the Idustrial era... I like the new techs and the numerous units, now i can wage a true war with my german empire!
one thing i deplore is these "Guerilla", in my world, the russians are weaking havoc with them. That's one reason i'm building my army to crush the russians!

Enter the AD-FREE zone

The patch is posted on the same thread you downloaded from. I basically just removed the link to the missing sound file from the ini.

EDIT: I agree about the guerilla's... they can be a pain in the arse. Some of my beta testers resorted to sealing off their borders so they couldn't get through. I think it does present a level of realism, but if they irritate me too much or we get lots of complaints, I might end up changing them so they are not hidden nationality again.

Guerilla Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

I don't agree totally with the "realism" of the use of Guerilla by the CPU. In real life, faction of guerillas don't terrorize another nation without some kind of conflict!
Furthermore, these guerillas in the mod travel too far from one point to another, i don't remember their move #, but, it's got to be at least 8 or 10...
The russians in my world use them as their sole military force, and it really creates an imbalance considering I'm using my tanks... on the long run, i'll win the war, but it frustrates me to see these guerilla move that fast into my territory.... it's not a fair balance!
I think in next game, i'll remove them or shorten their movement...
thanks again for the mod!

I understand... Guerillas move only 1. However, they love taking railroads and such. I had them penetrating deep into my territory becuase I had a right of passage agreement with their nation... big mistake on my part

I will bring this issue up with my beta testers to see what they think.
