	Avoid some technologies and units ? Support Apolyton, buy Civilization 2

Hi,
I just by CTP2, in France, and i'find it very cool !

But i'd like to avoid some technologies (and some units), to have a game more realistic (like Civ 2, in fact)
Is it a text file or something else i could modify ?

ps : i'd like to kick off futuristic technologies and units, and "sea-cities"...Excuse my english, witch is poor, o know !-)

Thanks for your help

You can edit advances.txt and units.txt (in [ctp2_folder]\ctp2_data\default\gamedata) and delete the entries on those units and advances that you'd like to remove from the game. Make sure that you don't screw things up: if you delete Genetic Tailoring but keep Life Extension (which requires Genetic Tailoring), you're asking for trouble.

Don't worry about you're English: your English is still much better than my French

My French doesn't go much further than "Garcon, tres bieres, s'il vous plait!" but if that means what I think it means that is indeed what I would say

Ok,
I've got more difficulties to customize the game than to command beers !!!

I try to delete some units and advance (age 4 and 5), but i'got a error message :-(

After that, i try to delete juste one unit (sea enginer), but with the same result...

(i got the french edition from ctp2)

Do you have any solution ?

Merci, cela m'aiderai bien !

That's a good translation !

Ok, i'll post the exact error message tomorow (in english !-).

That's concern the DB (data base i think) : when i delete the "sea enginer", for example (and just this unit), i' got a message like this : DB error, units Sea enginer missing.
And the game crash.
That's the same thing with Advances.

I just want to delete Ages 4 and 5 in the tech tree, and sea-cities...

Ca serait génial !

Thanks for the post, i'll try the two solutions tonight...

The second solution (from Mr Ogre) seems to be more attractive !-)

Wish it could work...

See you tomorow at the same place !

I just test with the file Advance.txt : i've deleted all advances from age 4 and 5 with Mr OGRE method (give an advance itself as perequisite).

For the moment, there's no crash :-) , but i need more time to test it...
