cityid.txt Inflate your Upload Space

What's the deal with the cityid.txt? From what I can tell, it's just a numbering of the city sprites, but not their sprite#'s. What's the point of it? and why are the Asian and Roman cities in one row while the the arab cities are in another? Does this file do anything that I should be concerned with when making a scenario that changes the city sprites?

Those are left overs from CTP1.
Seems like the Activisions programmers knew about the importance of mods and left to CTP2 almost all files from CTP1 includind terrain improvements, unit sprites, slic functions and (as the one you found) text files.
Just dont bother with it. It does not mean anything.
The only use i can think for it is reference when getting stuff from CTP1. Only that.

That's kind of what I was asssuming, because I seem to recall reading about leftovers from CTP1 in another thread. One thing that I do know about this file, however, is that the game can't function without it. (I actually tried to start a game without it present, and baboom the game wouldn't start because it couldn't find cityid.txt )

Thats kind of funny.



Thats because it is in the gamefile.txt data although it is useless.
As the others obsolete file.
I am almost sure that if you take its line off the gamefile.txt it wont change the game.

But if you delete the entry in this line you should leave the according line at least empty, because the game don't recognize the files by name but by position in the gamefile.txt.

So thats how the game recognizes what is wonder, what is unit and what is building.
I always wondered since in the language gamedata folder things can be more freely organized (eg. Like having all lines in one txt file) while the default game thing are more strict (eg. you MUST have the buildings in building.txt).

I always thought this was due to the prefix IMPROVE_*, WONDER_*, UNIT_*, CONCEPT_*, ADVANCE_*,... (Yet i always thougt something was wrong with this point of view.

Thanks for clear that up to me, Martin
PS: I hope i am correct

Yep. And the Game will recognize what it is (building, advance, wonder, unit...) because it all depends on what gamefile it is (if building.txt, advance.txt, unit.txt, wonder.txt).
And the game will also know what gamefile it is depending on wich position it is in the gamedata.txt.
This is what i am guessing.

Brazil won the 1958, 1962, 1970 and 1994 world cups.
The only countries that have four world cup is Brazil and Italy. Germany comes right behind with three.
We are playing for the fifth now to get the world cups lead again.

(Actually we have none, since the the trophy is temporary)

--- Go Brazil. Bring our fifth trophy!!! (you know what i mean )

Yes and therefore we have to go to the fourth, before we can to the fifth in the own country. You know what I mean.

To go back to CTP2, what about a periodicly occuring event, called football world team cup (don't know how it is actual called in English). You could train your team and if you get the cup your civ would get a happiness bonus for x turns.

We are getting in the world cup enviroment, arent we

(fuction PlaySound("SOUND_WE_ARE_THE_CHAMPIONS");
"Congratulations, our migthy country have won the soccer world cup. We are the champions. Our amazing atlhetes parade have been watched by thousands. Are people is extremly happy. You will get a x bonus in happiness."

This event can be called olympics in the early ages, cavalry disput in middle ages.

sorry I am from now on supporting Germany I just want to see that grin of your

could be part of a bigger squad like bullied a football stadium in your civ and you get the chance of getting a better player.( not to mention when you get the genome project)

then have money for training how much you are going to set aside for them and if you host it you also get a boost.

Being that I'm American, I'm still a little miffed that we couldn't make it past Martin's countrymen in the quarter finals
...but, making it to the quarter finals was actually quite impressive for us, considering that to most Americans, football is a game that involves putting on pads, and tackling the person with the ball before they make it to the endzone...

Yes and in four years you will tell me that there is another world cup for us. There is something wrong with it. Therefore my conclusion is first winning the fourth one and in four years getting the fifth one with the power of the twelfth man.

Back to CTP2 I considered an advance say - football, once you discovered it you can build football arenas and when you have a certain number of stadiums you get a probability of x to organize the world cup.

PS: I gave wrong info, Italy just have 3 world cups and not 4.
Brazil is the only four times champion.

Centrifuge I am just glad you haven’t called it soccer. It is something we English get a bit mad about being that your American football is just an off shoot of the English game of rugby.
( the main difference being you can pass forward and in American football and you get padded up so you can get hurt.)

Big Mc, Do you mean that it's not called soccer? I always just assumed that America was right and that the rest of the world was wrong J/K

Rugby, is a very fun(and tiring!!) game, I've played a little of it(very little), with a club at my university. I agree that when American football was introduced, it probably was greatly influenced by Rugby. Nowadays, however, U.S. Football, is an entirely different sport with a completely different set of rules. Comparing the two is kind of like comparing CTP2 to Civ3 only not as closely related.

As far as injuries in American Football, they are numerous and widespread. Remember, that those pads not only allow a person to get hit harder, but also to hit harder. There are constantly people becoming paralyzed and at times even dying. I once received a mild concussion, and still have a good sized scar on my knee just from my high school football days (State Champions Baby ). Call Rugby a tougher sport if you want (it may very well be) but I couldn't imagine playing football without pads.

Also, just out of curiosity, isn't baseball an offshoot of Cricket? I know very little about cricket, so I can't make a fair comparison.

I wish it were true Martin, but Asia's very big... I wasn't even in the right time zone (although those timezones still were a hell-of-a-lot better than the one we're in now). I'm afraid I didn't see a single match while I was there, on tv or otherwise
