Also Yaga, I really like a large number of your ideas, but the editor isn't powerful enough to support a lot of them at this time, especially those regarding small wonders :-(
You will find some of your proposed changes in the next update though.

any mod that does not address the rampant pollution silliness in the game is not worth the download time. i hardly ever even play past the entry into the industrial age because most of my time is spent sending workers to clean up.

Has anyone else reported this happening while playing with my mod?



the game crashes on me all the time on a 200+x200+ map with 16 civs.. it really makes the game unplayable that way for me... the first crash was at 760ad and the second at like 1500 bc.. both save games crash all the time so i'm gonna set world size and number of civs down and try again. i have not installed your or any mod yet. i'd wager the crash is just the game and not the mod.

out of 3 games 2 major crashes and one map bug. not good odds

Sorry annoyed, but I don't know if there is a way to adjust this or not. I'll definitely look into it though.
And for the record, I think you would find my mod definitely "worth the download time".

Well, where the hell can I download it? And don't tell me that geocities - moonpieboy page, 'cause it ain't accessible. You know, making a mod this popular (from all of the discussion) and then making it unavailable is tantamount to teasing on a gross scale

Monk,

Thought you might want to check out this story I posted in the general forum, "The AI learns to use Mods" I know a few people have asked if Mods will unbalance the game in the players favor. I think my story shows that it won't.

Response Increase the size of your Attachments

I would agree that the ai learns to use mods. In 2 games i have started using monkspiders's mod.....once most ai's get democracy its a mad rush to build the Statue of Liberty.....i have yet to see if they use other forms of government....yet.......also monkspider i posted a few days back about a possible bug crash w/your mod...i have restarted several games and it has not crashed again....the only think i have changed...is the size of the map...from normal to a larger map...it could have been the squatter bug that was casuing. that..........anyway keep up the good work..............one suggestion...could you add additional strategic resources to your mod something along the lines of the mod by cossack...i think that is a very...good idea.........................my 3 cents worth

Monkspider,
I haven't installed any other mod but yours. Though I would like to, I've heard of some problems regarding different mods not working well with each other, so I'm taking it easy until the first patch comes out.

The bug is very replicable - restarting the computer didn't help. I can send you the file if you're interested, to see if it happens to you as well.

Hey monkspider I am unable to download the mod. It doesn't work if I left click on it or if I right click and "save target as". I am unable to save it to anywhere. Is there something wrong with the link? Or am I just doing something wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated cause I am greatly looking forward to playing with your mod. Thank you in advance.

Second link works! Full PM-box? Change here!

Try the link just above the Beatles pic and use "save target as..."

If you have v 1.31 of the mod, all you need to do to get rid of the squatter bug is follow the instructions below. This is a post Elucidus made on page 2. This is the only change made in v 1.32.

Copy the settler folder in the Art/units folder. Name the new settler folder Squatter. Also name the ini file inside the folder to squatter. It's what I did and it fixed it. Of course I renamed it to colonist, but that's just me. Also renamed the scout to pioneer.

Hopefully w/o stepping on anyone's toes, I've added a mirror of Monk's Balancer v132 here:

The directory is browsable.

I've also taken the liberty to make the following changes to its Readme:

corrected typo "segart" to "stegart"
properly identified version as "132

Also, Harlan please do send me that file

Is this a game you started from scratch? If you tried to load a saved game that you started before installing my mod, with some of the changes in this mod, games do tend to crash I have noticed.

Suffering from ads?

...Hrm, can't find 1.4

In the meantime, I've added Wite Rabbit's recourses.pcx to my site (see link above) and uploaded a copy of Monk's Civ3mod.bic whose only change is removal of Oil on coastal squares.

Also, it was a brand new game that I had the Oil problem w/ Monk. May have been because I chose "Archipeligo" (however it's spelled) so there were less land squares overall for land-only resources.

Looking forward to playing 1.4 while the turkey cooks. Thanks again for all your work.

Hello guys hopefully someone can give me some insight on this...........i have run into a possible bug w/the universial sufferage wonder..........the year is 1782 i am at the end of my turn...........................the advisor pops up telling me that the irquiois are building the univ. suff..wonder as soon as i hit enter to continue on...i get an illegal error message from the game and it exits to the desktop....i have reloaded my save game several times and it does it everytime......... This is very frustrating as you can imagine......monkspider could i possibly be missing something from your mod that is causing this? did you copy unv. suff..to create the your classless society wonder and that could be the culprit............the reason i ask that..is because you changed the name of that wonder to classless society because it was so class to univ. suff...so i figured you used.somthing from that.......i could be totally way off here,,,if i am dont think nothing of it......but..............has anyone experiecned anythin like this............???????????

Monkspider,

Are you working on civilopedia icons for the new stuff you added? If not then I will procede. I started working on them, but thought I should ask first. So far I am only working on the Statue of Liberty. Also I am looking for a better wondersplash photo the Lady Liberty. I hope you don't mind. Let me know.


EDIT: Oh yeah, also working on the city-view (or whatever you call it), picture.

okay. I got some temporary fixes for the icons. I need to find a downward shot of the statue. This way I can add in the grassy background. Here is what it looks like:

Oh yeah, here is the zip file for anyone who wants this temporary fix. Just unzip the file into the root of your civilization III directory. It will put the files where they need to be.

The file includes large and small pedia icons, a city icon (which is just a copy of the colossus for now), and a new wonder splash pic (it is just a black and white, also temporary). The only files it will replace are the pediaicon.txt and statue.pcx. The only change to pediaicon.txt are the addition of these icons.

Monkspider,

I hope I didn't overstep my bounds by doing this, as this is your creation. I'm just trying to help.

Updated file. (0.83)

Balancer Mirrors Support Apolyton, buy Alpha Centauri

Hiya, all

Monk's Balancer v140 and Euclidus' Statue.zip files have been mirrored on my site to aide in downloading. Again, I hope this is kosher w/ everyone.

Elucidus_Status.zip

Monkspiders_Balancer_140.zip

Also, I'm going to be spending some of my time this weekend making my own mods to Monk's mod, if he doesn't mind. Planned changes are:

- Addition of "Constitutional Monarchy" Government, based primarily on the UK's iteration of the form, which is shaping up to be a compromise between, you guessed it, Monarchy and The Republic

- Addition of "Hollywood" a culture and luxury Great Wonder, perhaps at the expense of Sgt Pepper's

- Addition of "The Internet" Great Wonder, providing Great Library effects in the Modern Age

- Addition of other, Small Wonders to address specific concerns of corruption, efficency, and waste

- *huge* overhaul to modern naval warfare, such that it will no longer take years to cross a small ocean, and will allow for a Battleship to never receive a threat from an ironclad

- other, minor changes (like making Artillery airliftable)

- and, hopefully, some means of maintaining small, viable colonies in far-flung places.

...that is, if I can tear myself away from Monk's mod itself

Thanks to Monk, Elucidus, and everyone else for making my CivIII experience that much more rewarding

Yaga
