Thanks Maquiladora...

Str_loc.txt seems to be a French only file that is needed because of our peculiar grammar.

[EDIT]

I have replaced all the French files with the English ones and it seems to have solved the problem, no more strange messages. I will play tonight.

Thanks again!

These are messages I can cope with...

Example of messages I had before :

Tijuana

This message was displayed several times each turn and when I asked the game to center on its supposed location, the view was centered somewhere in the middle of our empire even though we don't have any city holding this name.

On to Ottawa! Increase the size of your Attachments

In the year 150 "before the man we do not know yet" the tormented spirit of the infamous Tamerlinus the Restless, who perished during a horrific ritual supposed to give him eternal life, comes back from the spirit world to incarnate himself into the heir of the former ruler of the Zulus. And he is not happy...

150 BC
Peace treaty with Egypt
Military build up carried on

140 BC
Egyptian units are leaving our territory
Hagia Sophia started in Ulundi

120 BC
7 units Canadian stack defeated with no loss near Ottawa

110 BC
Our armies are clearing the land around Ottawa of Canadian units

90 BC
Kora founded by Zulu settlers
8 units Canadian stack destroyed with no loss between Ottawa and HuangDi

80 BC
Drama discovered
Starting researching Alchemy
6 units Canadian stack heading to HuangDi vanquished, the bastards used a more efficient kind of Catapults which killed two of our Legions

70 BC
Australian Settlers expelled near Xhosa

60 BC
Ottawa besieged by three of our mighty armies

40 BCOttawa conquered at the cost of a Legion and two Hoplites units

30 BC
Embassy created in Carthage with the Phoenicians
Wages reduced to 12 Gold

10 BC
Embassy created in Newcastle with the Australians
Canadian armies massing around Ottawa and preparing a counter offensive

0 AD
Plague kills 60.000 people in 11 of our cities, we need Aqueducts
Decisive Victory in the Second Battle for Ottawa: 3 Canadian armies around Ottawa totalling 24 units (5+9+12) are utterly destroyed by our mighty armies at the cost of 2 Hoplites and 1 Legion units
Barbarian Catapult unit reduced to sawdust near Thembu



The Canadian capital being ours and secured, Tamerlinus the Restless step down from power as it is now time for a new ruler to guide our great nation, to end the war and to build. As a mere pilgrim, Tamerlinus starts a journey to Ulundi where he plans to have a quiet and simple life after which he will be burried in a tomb under the yet to be finished Hagia Sophia.





Note: the Scottish are waging a brutal war against the Americans as they razed three of their cities.

10 AD Established embassy with Egyptians.
The people say the empire is becoming too divided and are asking for a new government - switch to Theocratic Empire with city limit of 20 in case the Canadians surrender.

Shrines started in unhappiest cities and Aqueducts started in all big cities, any spare carry on producing military.

Request to exchange theology for feudalism from the Australians and Phoenicia, they both refuse.

30 AD New Theocratic Empire formed.
Established embassy with Koreans.

80 AD Built many theatres across our empire +5 happiness for the next 15 turns.
Seiging of Calgary and Vancouver continues.

120 AD One final seige of Vancouver and attack....... we capture it finding no resistance and the Canadians surrender! Giving their 5 remaining cities to us. All our cities can now concentrate on happiness, health and science.

Established embassy with Nigerians. Peace treaty offered to Nigerians and accepted.

Also got classical education, upgraded 4 or 5 early catapults to more modern ones.

150 AD Offered to exchange Theology for Composite Bow with Nigerians, they accept. Upgraded about 5 archers to composite.

I think its 15 turns, as Maq played 15 turns.

My primary goal is building tile improvements, and I'm going to put all my efforts into that so future generations may concentrate on loftier goals.

160AD-killed an annoying barbarian catapult.

OVERTHROW IN AUSTRALIA, OUR NEIGHBOR TO THE EAST, HAS MERGED WITH THE PHEONICIAN, OUR NEIGHBOR TO THE WEST. THEY NOW HAVE A MIGHTY EMPIRE STRETCHING AROUND THE WORLD ON BOTH OF OUR EAST/WEST BORDERS.

180BC-We research Feudalism, started researching agricultural revolution.

190BC-Hagai Sophia built by Koreans

200BC-Agricultural REvolution researched, farm building begins.

210AD-gave 300 gold to Eygpt and Pheonician, as their regard for us has taken a turn for the worse. I want to avoid a war that could interupt my farm building.

220AD-Eygptions attack us despite our efforts, they lose a horseman in a little battle, more of their troops enter our land. Pheonicians gathering troops on our borders.

230AD-Feat of Wonder expires, whole empire riots, blah. sliders adjusted accordingly.

240AD-Whole bunch of little battles, Pheonician knights destroyed by our pikeman etc. Farms building slowed down but not stopped.

250AD-Pheonician capture Xhosa, farms building is now put on halt as the invasion forces are getting out of hand. Our enemies will regret there decision to attack.

260AD-I launch a very risky and likely to fail atack on Carthrage, but surprisingly we capture the city! Its unlikely we will beable to hold it but hopefully our actions will ruin the moral of our enemies.

There are ongoing battles throughout the empire, but 10+pikman are coming next turn.

280AD- WE win some more battles.

We capture the Eygption city of Oryx, it was lightly defended. I feel we might as well take the war to their turf, no matter the happiness penalties of a few more cities.

290AD- We retake Xhosa.

Pheonicians retake Carthage..barely.

I leave this war to the next King to deal with. I hope that my great efforts to modernize our farm system will not be forgotten.

CTC_govern.txt tells me its 2 martial law units max that can have a maximum of +1 on happiness for each unit. I think even if we get a government that onlu uses 1 or 0 martial law units we should keep 2 in there, a defender and a ranged, I almost lost one of our cities from a roaming M.Archer on my last turn.

Increase Your PM Length

400 AD A few minor skirmishes, we lose about 5 units all up. Gathering 12 stacks where possible in order to take a few enemy cities. Two more Peace Treaties signed. We now have five Peace Treaties, and two declarations of war.

410 AD General harassment of the enemy.

420 AD Egyptian attack on Kora is unsuccessful. We lose no units. To rub their loss in, we send message to the Egyptian leader saying that their Sphinx looks like a diseased rodent, and their women smell.

Our valiant warriors then take the city of Oryx!

430 AD Enemy attacks on Kora, Natal and Pedi are all unsuccessful. Many units being built to fortify the front line cities.

450 AD Our warriors retake Swazi! We also mop up various small bands of enemy units, resulting in some losses for ourselves.

460 AD We capture the Phoenician city of Utica! We were going to hang the Phoenician mayor from a tree, but didn’t want to waste the rope on his sorry behind… he’s still in his cell living off the mice he can catch.

490 AD We are beaten to the completion of Guttenberg’s Bible. Attack on Xhosa proves unsuccessful. There are a few threats still remaining deep within our borders that must be dealt with.

If we can marshal our forces sufficiently to beat back the evil Egyptians and take a few of their cities, we may just be able to crush them completely within the next few centuries… time will tell.


Shadow the Ludicrous finds himself a buxom wench, and retires to a secluded hilltop cottage far in the northern reaches of the empire, to live out the rest of his days…

Yeah, there were a couple who began it during my turn, but there was nothing I could do to speed up production significantly enough to get there first.

I think our best bet for now is to crush the Egyptians, and hopefully they will surrender to us.

With our new-found might from their cities, we should be able to reasonably take on the Phoenicians and win.

No huge rush Tamerlin, we all know how it is from time to time.

Even if you simply play your turns without a huge writeup I'm sure the guys would be happy. Just a few lines about what went on should be fine if you're really pressed for time.
