I look forward to trying out your mod. One quibble though: I really, really think you should call Fundamentalism Theocracy instead. Especially since you also have the Fascist government - it is very easy to confuse Fundamentalism and Fascism, since they are so similar and Civ2's history with that. Theocracy as a name ties in especially well with the early start, and Monotheism prereq.

Q)Does your mod alter the graphics in the cityview whereby the gold cost of units/buildings are displayed?

A)No, it is only intended as a balancing mod at this point.

Q)Can you explain what is meant by the letters B.R.F/(T) in the specs next to the units?

A)Bombard Attack Strength, Range, Rate of Fire, Transport

Can you explain what is meant by the entry "propaganda a:20 des:10 m:5 c:-15 r:5 d:0 fa:5 fu:-5". I don't understand this at all.
A means Anarchy
Des mean Despotism
C means communism
D mean Democracy
Fa means Fascism
Fu means Fundamentalism

Propaganda is a Operation your spys can do totry and convert your enemys cities. the rate of succes is affected by your governmet/ there gov, and your culture rating.
the stats i listed gives you the chance the listed government will be succesfull over the opposing gov. higher is better.

What is meant by "resistance Fu:-15 fa:-10"?
This is Cultural Resistance,


What is a rate cap?

Rate cap is pretty important, it is the max rate you can set Luxurys or resources..

I also have an unrelated point. Every game I've played, the Germans have been amazingly aggressive. Do you think there is any merit in *either* switching Germany's preferred govt to Fascism *or* toning down their aggression? It seems to me that a Democratic but massively aggressive civilization is a bit unrealistic.

I meant to do this, but didnt..




Im already thinking of Democratic Socialism, Constitutional Monarchy, and renaming 'fundamentalism' to 'theocracy' cus umm its the same thing except 'theocracy' sounds better i guess..

Hi Ancient

Thanks for the informative reply. I'm still looking forward to version 1.8.

Can you tell us whether using your mod pack will cause that annoying glitch whereby we can no longer use the science tech tree? Other mods have resulted in this game-design problem appearing.

Thanks mate.

It looks like that file is still 1.25. I couldn't find any of the new stuff in the mod. And is 1.8 still scheduled for release today?

the wonder changes are

The Pyramids

Not as slow as a galley. Frigates were little speed demons. Galleons, frigated, and ships-of-the-line were all significantly faster than galleys.

If the modern ships were too slow in comparison, make them faster.

Can't agree more! Test those ships in the huge earth map and you'll know how slow are they. Took me 27 turns to travel from Northern America to South Africa with a galleon!!!!

your government controlls the chance of your espionage activitys succeeding or failing (and other things do as well) the higher the rank the better your chances are.

Rename "Democratic Socialism" a Socialist Democracy. That's the proper term for it in the dictionary. Canada and many Western European countries follow the model. It's almost the same as a Representative Democracy (called Democracy in Civ3), except there's a national service/conscription. The soldiers produced aren't the same as the forced conscripts of a Communist country, however. The corruption levels are the same as a democracy instead of "Communal", and soldiers can be assigned as city guards due to national curfew hours. I'm sure you've figured all of that out.

im working on the next version and Democratic Socialism is being completely redone..
constitutional monarchy is working good.

Socialist Democracy, sounds more elegant.. so i dont care i guess ill change it to that..
Currently it is pretty much a democracy that can go to war better.. with a couple draw backs added for balancing..

Re: Ancient's Unnoficial Civ3 Patch (v1.5) Support Apolyton, buy Civilization: The Boardgame

Hey ancient - great patch! Does this make AI civs more backstabbingly cutthroat, or does this just happen around mid game. I don't know, since I've had the patch nearly since the beginning, and since I installed it, there's been hell to pay. Before I installed it, I'd only reached the mid to late early game, so I don't know.

Sugestions, questions about 1.8 Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

Hey...does anyone favor/shun constitutional monarchy in the 1.8 patch world? Also, although I think you are doing a great job, are you sure some units need to be upgradeable? I think this might be going a bit too far. Also - good deal w/increasing naval movement. It was really frustrating upgrading from caravel to galleon and finding them slow as @#%$^%! Magellon's voyage does'nt give an extra naval move?
About help, unfortunately I'm programming challenged, suggestion filled, but check out my new thread in "creation". Its a discussion of alternate concepts that hopefully you and others might get some ideas from and go with it. I mentioned your work in a very complimentary fasion. Keep it up.
