	CityMOD - in English Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations

There is a nice little mod (by Martin) in the Apolyton DB that adds Harlan's two new city architectures (Castle and Central American Pyramid) and the Industrial Revolution age to the CTP2 basic game. It is in German.

Not being much of a programmer, I figured converting it to English would be about my level of dificulty, and have done so. I also had a look at the number of advances listed for each age, and the way in which the computer calculates what age you are in.

I felt that the German version makes the Industrial age too brief and too late (too many industrial age advances are obtained before the end of the Renaissance, in my view), and I have "corrected" this for the English version. As far as I know, the changes I've made do not impact anything other than what city style is displayed, and when it first appears.

No doubt this is all very basic, but just in case there is anyone else out there who wants a copy, I have emailed it to Omnigod (although the DB form crashed part way through generation and hasn't worked for me since). So, if anyone wants a copy before it is posted to the DB - assuming it is! - then please email me at scarlet.biro@bigpond.com.au and I'll reply with a copy.

Feel free to make any changes you want, and let me know of any problems with the balance of ages in this "mod".

Cheers
