/civ4xg/ - Civilization/4x Games General

I bought Civ 5 recently from Steam and also installed 3 steamworks mods - JDF Hitler & Stalin, and map of Old World - issue is that they don't show in the game even though it says the mods have been loaded. I also tried to delete the mod cache and reinstalling the mods but that doesn't change anything.

Is this a common problem or should I just refund and get Endless Legend or Space instead?

2nd for Railgun mod getting updated for BE:RT fucking when?

>>122389548
Did you start the game using the mod sections?

>>122389548
Retardation is a common problem of steam users, yes.

>>122393663
Yeah, they are enabled in the mod menu and when I go to 'setup game' the modding game setup doesn't display either Hitler or Stalin and even the custom map is not visible.

You didn't go back after enabling them?

I said to scroll down to the pictures anyway. The text above that doesn't matter.
You weren't communicating your problem well, so I gave you a general guide to using mods in hopes that it might solve your problem.
Help me figure out exactly where the problem is. So you hit mods, went to the mod screen, were the mods you want there? I assume that if they were there then you would click the check and hit setup game at the bottom. After you hit setup game, does it display your mods as the bullet points like in http://grogheads.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/Your-Guide-to-Civ-V-Modding-MadnessStep-5-Single-Player.jpg? If so, once you hit single player, are you then not able to scroll through the civilizations and find your desired civ? Is the map not listed under map types, even in advanced setup?

>>122404441
AIs can actually be decent at assessing how easy it is to take a city (especially with mods). I had an unmodded game where Japan overwhelmed me with a huge invasion force. I reloaded several times trying to figure out how I could have prepared and what I should have done, and his army would consistently shift its destination depending on how many comp bows I had in my capital vs the other city that was close to them.

>>122404865
Yeah, it lists all the stuff exactly like this but map mods doesn't show up in the selector, or custom civilizations don't show up either.

Funny thing is that I also downloaded enhanced ui and CiV BNW Quality of Life Modpack v.5-singleplayer manually (but they are installed into the DLC directory instead of the user/Documents/.../MODS) and they work in the game just fine.

So this has to have something to do with Steam. I was browsing through the steam discussions and can't find anything there.

>>122405273
I don't know, then. That's a really odd problem. I don't think EUI or any of the quality of life mods should interfere with mods from the workshop, but I guess you could try moving them out of the directory temporarily and seeing if you can see the workshop mods then. I don't think that's too likely to work, though.

Why did you ignore my >>122395342 question, you fucking retarded piece of shit mongoloid?

Threadly reminder that Amplitude will save the 4X genre on November 19.

>First of all, we will release on November 19th a big free update for Endless Legend, called “Forges of Creation”. This update enables the access to Steam Workshop to store and retrieve mods. We have also greatly increased the abilities to mod the game, for example by adding compatibility to a popular Map Editor (bring forth your favorite fantasy worlds to Endless Legend!) or the ability to reskin 3D units. So thanks to all our Closed Beta Testers who’ve helped us test the new modding tools & Workshop!

>We have also added new gameplay content, to follow up on your passed GAMES2GETHER votes and community unlocks from the Steam Free Weekend. Last but not least, the AI team has worked a lot on improving the AI of Endless Legend. Most of all, they built better tools to understand what was going on with the AI decisions. This allowed us to fix lots of problems and this is a lesson we will keep for our future projects. We will share more details on this free update content in the upcoming days. By the way, did I mention it was free?

We are also going to release a content pack containing a collection of 20 quests related to Minor Factions (The Lost Tales, 1.99€), and another pack featuring 7 new musical tracks composed by our one and only FlyByNo, with related new items, such as the “Harp of Noby Fly” (Echoes of Auriga, 2.99€).

>As far as Dungeon of the Endless is concerned, we are also going to release a humongous big free update due November 24th, the “Organic Matters” update (wonder who comes with those names anyway…), featuring lots of content conceptualized by you in Forum Creation Competitions and the GAMES2GETHER. You will be able to try the new Organic Spaceship, fight with 3 new monsters including Vultuu, play with the new Rosetta hero, build the new minor modules and check out the brand new ending sequence. Also, our work on console has allowed us to deliver a proper gamepad interface for the game, which can be activated in the menus.

On top of this free update, we are proposing a content pack (The Rescue Team, 1.99€), adding 3 Rescue Team heroes with very unique skills we’ll reveal next week, two new monsters and a new major module. We can’t wait to have you get your hands on this!

I suck ass at DOTE, but shit this game is amazing.

Will the Endless Legend AI updates come November 19?

Does anyone else really wish that Purity/Harmony would get a fucking redesign?

Thank you, friend.

What is best mechanic to stop "strong getting stronger" symptom?

>>122461886
If you want a easy game to learn shit, play Poland, they have a strong boost which requires literally no knowledge of the game
Play something below prince perhaps to learn a bit of build orders.
Don't go for settler though, the AI is a bit to weak then and you won't learn enough
Tip, explore a lot.
Luxury resources such as gold and citrus are key, because they allow you to have a big population

Other than that, just fuck around
Just as the most here started

What are your thoughts on Fallen Enchantress; LH?

>>122466197
It's alright. Got its fair share of flaws but otherwise it's a fairly solid game.

>>122463867
Thank you, I will take note of what you said.

>>122462642
Pay them to war on everyone and hope they don't wipe them out as well
Or you could just pay them to fight a lot and then join in the fun
You are the most powerful of all, because with proper placement a few units can fuck over a huge force

BE gets shat on a lot, but is it at least good enough to pirate and occupy me for an evening or two?

>>122468059
I actually like BE, though I got into it starting with Rising Tide. If a lot of features were missing from it, I could see why everyone hates it.

I'd say it's worth trying at least.

>>122468059
>but is it at least good enough to pirate and occupy me for an evening or two?
I'd say so.
I think it was worth to pirate and play a game or maybe even two at launch.
Wouldn't be surprised if it goes for 2-3 games now.

>>122473871
Keep 'em. Good food, science in the future and it makes your southern borders just a bit easier to defend.

I say wait until you get the technologies that makes farms provide more food before considering chopping them, unless you badly need more production.

So Fertilizer or Civil Service? Honestly the science bit along with extra gold when I go commerce will probably convince me to keep 'em. Also, shit, there's no goddamn iron anywhere in my lands and Bohemia has already taken the closest one.

>>122473871
I chop all jungle that is on freshwater/ hills.
Unless it's actually a city made for gold/science in mind.

But yeah get that civil service asap

2MB, 1366x750px

Well looks like I'm in the clear

>>122528061
If you go with a world map like giant ynaemp I think you can make it work quite smoothly with your first city next to the jungle, maybe your first two. Then expand into the jungle and place manufactories on the marsh tiles.
Maybe internal caravans for prod in the jungle.

The brazilwood camps no longer get trade post bonuses right? Going commerce and buying buildings for the amazon cities could be another way.

>>122528474
Mid/Late game expansion is never terribly troubling (aside from finding space to settle given the AI's settler spam), but the thing about Brazil is that the early game tends to just be so annoying. At least for the Aztecs their scouting isn't terribly impeded

>>122528361
An unstoppable force is about to meet an immovable object. See if you can pay Attila to go to war with the Zulu, he'll probably do it for like 1 GPT.

It's a little annoying when my city with 4 flat desert tiles manages to get Petra on a lark but my capital surrounded by oasis and hills can't get it even after rushing for Currency.

>>122528736

What are the best "windows" of conquest would you say? Like where the unit you get for diverting slightly to grab the tech is quite strong relative to anything else.

Like when you just hit Construction, that's like a 20-30 window to basically do whatever the hell you want because they can cut through warriors/spearmen/archers like a hot knife through butter.

Artillery is also like that, but less for its ability to kill units and more for the fact that taking a city is made more or less into an entirely safe affair, requiring you to only clear out the enemy units.

Rocket Artillery do a ludicrously high amount of damage, doing to late game cities what the Hunnic battering ram does to cities before turn 20.

Hey I started up a multiplayer game with some friends and we got quite far into it when was broke out between 2 of us. however we noticed that sequential turns are on during wars, we always play simultaneous. Is there a way too change how the turns work in game or do we have to start a new game?

>tfw meeting friends and one of them propose civ Quick hotseat session
>tfw hes Got barebone civ 5
>tfw one of pals falls asleep after 50 turns
>tfw the other guy dont know a thing because he only plays settler
>tfw That friend now thinks That i'm some elitists faggot, because he saw me manually changing tile assigment and wasnt aware it is possible.
IT lasted for 70 turn or SO, im never gonna play good hotseat am I?

>>122551383
What the fucking point of playing on settler? Civ5 isn't very deep on the sim-city aspect, so it becomes boring after just one playthrough.

>>122540052
I mostly just time it with UU's.

>>122551890
Well, I find that knocking the difficulty down 2 levels is a great way to experiment or just fuck around, so maybe if you were a seasoned Warlord player, whatever that is, and wanted to relax a little?

>>122551890

He told me himself That he only plays Settler, but anyway he dont play civ That much and after this hotseat, i doubt hes ever gonna start new game Again.

>>122549317
could anyone answer this please? We're gonna play in a couple of hours and need to know if we have to start a new game

>>122555524
Maybe you can edit the save file, as I imagine it contains the game settings in it.
However other than doing that I dont think there is any way.

Try to save and load a game, maybe there are some settings in the Load Game menu, but I dont remember which ones.

>>122554929
I forgot to include his quote "its only fun if all players dont know how to play it".

>>122556184
>Try to save and load a game, maybe there are some settings in the Load Game menu
ok I'll try that right now

any idea how to edit save files? never done it myself

>>122556263
I dont have CIV5 installed, nor save files, so I cant check.
Normally they are complex XML or JSON text files, and perhaps you can find the settings part of them and compare it to a setting for some other game, with simultaneous turns on, and see where they differ.

I havent actually had to edit game files for years, surprised there isnt a third party tool to do it.

>>122556374
>surprised there isnt a third party tool to do it.
well I wouldn't go that far to save this game. We only got to medieval era but it would be fun to watch my friends duke it out. Might just be easier to start a new game

Marathon players, what are your favorite civs on marathon? Do you prefer civs that are really strong early and then drop off (e.g. Assyria)? Civs that are consistently decent but get a really good UU (e.g. Arabia)? Or just civs that are about the same strength all game (e.g. Poland)?

>>122568461
I only ever finished two marathon games, both on huge worlds (used that mod which makes a gigantic earth map).
One was with China, the other with the Maya. Both were me getting a religion and city spamming.

Also, its a bit of a cheat, but if you want to have a good shot at getting a religion on Deity try the No Free Pottery mod.
Normally the AI starts with Pottery discovered, and thus gets a shrine at like turn 5, but if they have to discover it most wont, and those who do will finish whatever they are building before switching to shrine.
This evens the field a bit, although its still a problem in some games.

>>122569647
If I wanted to play as Byzantium, I would probably use that mod

>>122549317
You can't have simultaneous turns during war, that'd be retarded. Sequential turns just stay on until there's peace.

Alot of people play on quick/simultaneous turns on MP. Including all my steam friends. Forced to play against AI only cause they won't back down on their shitty game setups.

>>122577623
I play on quick and simultaneous too it's just that during war against other players the game can't let you play on simultaneous, it'd be chaotic for two or more people to be attacking eachother at the same time so the game changes to sequential until the player vs player war is over.

>>122578083
That's hybrid. Simultaneous is allways simultaneous. Yeah it's fucked up that's why I don't play with my friends.

Yeah we used to play hybrid but my friends think it's too slow and I don't have a problem with playing simultaneous. It's a lot more chaotic and you lose units by making mistakes sure but it does work. Every Civ 5 player on twitch like for example Baba Yetu and Filthy robot plays with simultaneous turns

>>122576228
Back in vanilla when I did my first immortal game I managed happiness as mongols by razing most cities I conquered.
I really was a plague upon the world, conquering an ancient civilization and then razing 5 huge cities and keeping puppeting the capitol just so I could move on to the next target.

God that was a beautiful game.
Started with a nice plains river with some wheat and a solitary mountain for eventual observatory.

I just want another city.

How are you supposed to play early game in Galactic Civilizations 3? Looking at the graphs, it seems like the AI spends its dosh in like the first five turns, whereas I save it to kick-start all my new civs, and I don't buy ships because the prices are so skewed. And everyone whines at me that I'm too weak because I don't waste time building shitty interceptors with no defences and 4 laser attack.

I'm not sure why, but every time I start a game with this map script I start off in or next to a ridiculously large amount of desert with hardly any resources. Even when I start somewhere fairly green I only have to explore a little to see that I am atually just on a small patch of green in the middle of a huge desert.

game keeps CTDing when i hit next turn at turn 27 or something
tried strategic view, already using dx9 and a tiny res so i doubt its performance related
does the AI just sometimes do something which causes a crash or what
i dont wanna abandon my game

>>122606360
Have you tried reloading, changing some of your actions, and seeing if the crash changes? Check where your units are the turn before it crashes because that might have something to do with it. Once, there was a graphical glitch of an antiquity site which looked like it was there but didn't show up with the resource bubble or in strategic mode, and my game crashed because one of my units was standing on it. Since you're at turn 27, that obviously isn't the problem, but checking your units might help anyway.

Endless Legend vs Civ 5? Or should I get Endless Space instead?

Anyone know if there's a torrent for the CivBE SDK.

Either that or a fucklarge jungle with a river on literally every tile.

Don't invade me silly boys ;)

Out of curiosity, what Civ5 map do people prefer playing on?

At the moment i've been playing huge Earth maps with unbiased starting locations (one game I was Babylon who controlled all of Australia and the surrounding Isles), but i've been thinking maybe Terra would be good to get that colonization element into the game?

>>122619639
Communitas is my favourite, it always manages to give some really pretty planets.

>>122620325
Sorry, was referring to non-B.E.

>>122620406

Not playing as Napoleon. At least, not the one you're thinking of

Hypereon's Second French Empire and some others, like Events and Decisions, Enlightenment Era, and a bunch of other civs.

Right on the tip to access all three fish, or 2 hexes east of your current position to access mines and 2 pipes.

Damn this is the first big event to pop up besides the Constitution redrawings. What do I pick? The other option just gives me 50% chance to lose about 1,000 golden age points. Then again, this civ's ability is almost entirely dependent on golden ages.

>>122628624
Actually I was thinking two hexes east and then one hex up, in that forest. I can still get three fish, the two pipes plus the mines.

>>122628968
Do you have any golden age points to lose if you're in a golden age right now?

>>122629270
Er, I don't know. I had about 300-ish since that current golden age was started by finishing the Taj Mahal. Also, does it really matter? 2 turns of anarchy at worst doesn't seem so bad for a free soc pol

>>122629369
I guess it doesn't matter, I was just thinking about mechanics. I would definitely execute the coup.

Well shit, that went over easier than I expected. Just one turn of resistance in the capital.

>>122629769
I don't know why you were flustered to begin with. Even 2 turns of full anarchy wouldn't kill your empire at instant.

>>122629992
Nah, I'm relatively "new" to the game and I didn't know if 2 turns were deadlier than it seemed.

Who /customcivs/ here

Is there a decent torrent for Civ V? please respond

>>122634624
Has anyone tried the Slavfight?
Get all of the Russian and Slav civs in one brawl, play as 'vanilla' Russia (Catherine), and duke it out against Lenin, Stalin, Putin, Brezhnev, Nicholas II, Alexander I, Aleksandr Nevsky, Ivan IV, Niklot, Peter the Great, Yaroslav et al.

why is ivan the terrible a great general

>>122645634
because he's great in general

>>122645964
Actually he's pretty terrible.

>>122649792
No, he's awesome.

>>122653587
Then why do they call him Ivan the Terrible and not Ivan the Awesome?

>>122653697
It was physically impossible for humans to experience "Awesome" until the 1950s

>>122653697
That's what he's actually called in Russian.

>>122636761
I prefer ArabBowl.

>>122634624

Which has a better political/economical gameplay, Endless Legend or Civ V?

>>122656778
I took Russian from a russian, and I'm telling you even they thought Ivan was Terrible. It's an Old Testament style though, like Oz the Great and Terrible.

>>122661342
Come to think of it, a PolandBall is now feasible, too. You can also do Pacific Thunder matches, right?

>>122663953
If I'm correct then it's also possible to have at least 6 Byzantine Empires in your game.

>>122663658
I am Russian. Гpoзный means fear-inspiring or awe-inspiring.

Wouldn't that result in a shitload of happiness which makes the game too easy?

>>122670000
Well, I use ExCE and More Luxuries and it's not like the game dumps them all to you or anything. It still follows regular distribution from what I can tell, so I'd assume that's how it goes for all other bonus luxury mods

Poll: Civ Gampleay vs Realism
http://strawpoll.me/6038255

Civ development teams have always stated they care more about making the game fun than realism, but IDK. I'd like to see only one continent have maize and with enough trade it can spread to other continents with similar climates and drastically increase food yields.

>>122670660
There is still more diversity though, which creates higher possibility of having less of the same luxury, therefore more happiness. this goes double for when you even have ExCE.

>>122671806
Shouldnt matter as long as you have 7-8 good tiles to work. The rest can be specialists anyways.
