	Pop. Decrease by event Support Apolyton, pre-order Civilization IV

Can anyone think of a way to cause a population decrease in a city with an event? I want to simulate a plague.

I have the FW addon, and I see no conventional way of doing so...

You could make a barbarian unit named plauge, with the effect of a nuclear bomb.

Wow, thanks William that is a very intruiging idea. I'll see if I can make that work!

	Put an end to popups!

I guess the only way to edit the appearance of a nuclear blast is by changing tiles.dll... or is there something I can place in one of the gif files?

I have never looked for the nuclear blast animation sequence, so I don't know for sure where it is. Others have said that it is in a DLL file.

There is a GIF extracter by Rune Burg on the Cradle of Civilization in the downloads/utilities section. That may be of help. If you do find it/edit it, I'd like to know.

It's image #21 of tiles.dll

I will make the changes to it in bitmap form, and now I need a program to convert the .bmp back to gif 87a. Last time I needed that done, Berndt Brosing did it for me, but I think it's time I found my own program to do this.

Does anyone know of one? Bitmap to gif 87a, which is what civ 2 uses.

Beware of the Global warming caused by the pollution from nuclear weapons...

Good. Right now only 3 plagues happen during the scenario. Maybe that should be where I draw the line. Can you estimate about how many nuclear attacks will need to happen before a bout of global warming occurs?

It depends on how many polluted tiles there are. If you supply more cities with solar power plants (renamed of course), the global warming effect is reduced...

OK, I know pollution squares contribute to global warming, but what effect (if any) does the blast itself have?

Other options include turning off pollution altogether or renaming global warming to something like "wide spread pestilence" and just let it happen normally if the player dosen't "cure his plauged" squares.

It would be a good idea to turn off pollution effects. However, this will not prevent pollution that occurs with the nuclear blasts. These are two separate things.

If you would like to see what it looks like to have plagues instead of nuclear blasts, check out my scenario when I release it for play-testing (probably tomorrow.) I have replaced all the appropriate graphics, sound, text, and animation sequences.
