	Maximum number of strategic resources? Inflate your Upload Space

Has anyone noticed if there is a maximum number of strategic resources? I have been trying to add more resources. I can not get more than 14 strategic resources to be active at one time. The last resources don't show up when their advances make them visible. However if I make these resources not have a required advance trigger then they show up at the beginning of the game. Any ideas?

I've filled up the 31 civilization slots. When some of the new civs build cities (after the capitol) the city doesn't appear visually on the map. Just a small base/wall at the feet of the unit occupying the city. Doesn't seem to affect gameplay.

Inside those cities the graphic for the temple won't show up. Just a blank space.

I haven't altered any graphic files (other than copying and pasting duplicate leader heads.

Help.

Selanne, What Culture Group are they in, if they are set to none they will not have a graphic.

As I have now accomplished a little more than half of what I want to do for my scenario, I just wanted to let the kind people of CivIII have my two cents.

The scenario editor is a glorified map maker, which is fine, you can do quite a few things, but the interface isn't that nice. In CivII when altering cities, you could call them up by just left clicking on the city and doing a lot of the builds, etc.. you could do what you wanted on one screen and view the effects immediately.

Now though, you have to right click on the city to change stats, etc... but if you want to see how the cities are working overall, you have to load a game (which can take a while). This is quite annoying when trying to get corruption/taxes/waste perfected and you have almost 150 cities. Current load time stands just under 4minutes (with only a few units, but all cities with improvements). 150 cities with 1 pop. and no building has very fast load time. 150 cities with normal pop and buildings drastically slows down.

I wish there were a way to access a city while in the editor in order to view the city's real in-game stats.

Also, we really need an events "editor".

Also, I still don't like the minimap. It really distorts the map. It stretches everything horizontally, while compressing the vertical (at least that's my opinion).

I do like the nice rule tabs though. Those are nice and easy to edit/access. The Help function is another very nice addition. I haven't seen it fail me once.

However, I dislike how one must now edit icon "pictures". When adding a new unit, there's a lot of work, not so much if you just use a duplicate image, but..... you have to do a lot if you create a new unit. I'm still trying to get the hang of unit creation.

Overall, I think there needs to be another version which empowers the fan to be able to make scenarios of interest and complication.

	limits Got spare money?

i read somewherethat the total improvements/wonders is 256 only [i counted 75 included so that leaves 181 custom improvement/wonders max]
besides icons and civopedia.txt and pediacon.txt entries and a pic in the building file pix, what else isneeded [are ther limits on that building pcx fiile?

i also read that if resources.pcx had more than 36 icons only first 36 iconresources would actually show up in game[regardless of showingin editor] [17-36 do showup though must assign to terrain type though i dunno about beyond actually showing up. ]

anybody know if resources over 36 actually show up?

units:
i know i gottahave the units directory with the sound and flc files and the icon and icon in units32.pcx [btw what is the limit on that file?]

The resources have been fixed they now show up, I do not know if there is a limit.

There is no practical limit on unit icons (there is a limit but it is so high nobody could ever reach it) I don't think there is one for units other then what your computer can handle.

	Put an end to popups!

two problems when adding new civs:

1 - what do you do if you don't know how to edit .flc files? Will it accept bitmaps or jpegs or something? What are the requirements? Without a link to .flc files for each civ, it crashes as soon as you select that civ. (Currently working around by getting .flcs for other civs).

2 - More important: Firaxians! please alter editor so that units which are normally available to all civs are available to new civs when created. It was mighty disturbing to start up my lovely new civilization of the Arabs and find they didn't know how to build warriors. If you create a bunch of extra civs it's an awful lot of work to enable all those normal units, one at a time, for the new set of civs.

While I'm here, a suggestion for future editor options: should allow terrain types to have individual time requirements for different worker tasks. I want to be able to make it difficult to irrigate (or fortify) the desert, and possible but difficult to irrigate the hills (imagining terraced hills of the world).

	Resources and 1.29f. Get a bigger avatar today!

I started having problems whe I was using 46 resources. I'm currently using 44 but I'm not sure that all of them are showing up on the map. The last two on my BIC list are but it seems to be more dependent on what shows up in the game than what order they are in my BIC list. I'm playing a game now and I'll have to wait to see if Uranium shows up or not.

1 - It has to be in FLC format, you can get FLICster (in the files forum) and make a non animated unit.

2 - You can use Shift to select a large part of the list.

that works with one unit (click shift to select all civs), but the problem described is for one civ and all units... so you have to redo the same action for each unit

It would be nice to make the world flat, as opposed to round, so that for example Greek sailors do not head toward Italy and end up in Persa

Also, if anyone would like to take a look at my Rome scenario I posted it in my own thread. I would appreciate some feedback.

I mistakenly named my thread "Fall of Rome" which is actually someone else's scenario. My scenario begins at the dawn of Roman power.

In PTW, this will be built in. In vanilla Civ3, you can trick it by building alternating rows of mountains and seas on the edge of the map. It's ugly but it (mostly) works.

	Tired of ads?

depending on what type of scenario you're making, you can also use ocean tiles.

For example a roman scenario it would make sense to have ocean tiles unused...

What I mean by this is to give ocean tiles a high movement cost, make sure all buildable ships will sink in it, and make the ocean tiles a few tiles thick.

The AI will not go in ocean tiles if there is a risk of sinking.

The player might risk it, and losing a ship in treacherous waters is not always going to happen. But hey if the player actually risks it, the reward of being able to land on the other side of the world is kinda cool.

My scenario is in fact a Roman scenario. So far nobody has been brave enough to look at it.

Even though from what I can tell it's the first quasi-finished scenario posted here.
