Why not, flying whales are cool? They come from Scott Westerfeld's novel series

OH and FLYING DOLPHINS !!! Really ?

Well after a few attempts to run where it just dropped to desktop when tried to run I removed some of my mods each time - I finally got it to run by removing ALL my other mods. Baron something? the rest of civs random. Took an Unusually long time to load - maybe something to do with all the new resources?
Why can I still build temples if religion is Off ?

Balloons cannot attack and have more sight points (+6 compared to normal) and more defense than the airbeast (40 vs 30).

Zouaves can capture you just deleted the scenario folders where the capture promotion is defined.

The spy problem is likely unrelated to my mod.

For the building thing I don't know, never happened to me but it could be a thing.

Really fun mod after I was able to make it run with my gorillions of civs on top. Probably the most fun I've had in Civ in a while. Here are some issues.
- Balloon description says it can't attack but it clearly can, I haven't used the unit but the AI uses it as a combat troop.
- Zouaves dont capture.
- After the first spy I can't send other spies to enemy cities.
- Some buildings that require a rare resource can be built before having the said resource. I am suspecting that is because I already had the resource because of an improvement or a city built on it but I havent discovered it.
- Need to balance the airbeast. I don't see the point of using the balloon if the airbeast is there. Especially because it requires no resource.

I removed the civs like you instructed, Manchuria still shows up in my list of civs. If it's not too much work maybe move the civs to a separate mod.

Thanks for the hard work and looking forward to the next update!

May or may not be an issue with this mod. On some games, I do not get ancient ruins.

Yeah I know. I thought it did but it probably doesn't.

Oh alright. Would be also cool if the AI used the Civ 4 promotions.

Yes it's totally normal. It's not a bug.

For some reason Hanse is buildable for any nation and I get access to Enlil, Ki etc. promotions. I will see if I can get rid of the bug by deleting the additional civilizations from the mod.

JUST A REMINDER FOR ANY PEOPLE HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE GRENADIER'S ANIMATION: Please look at the description above, there is a tutorial explaining you what to do. It's normal, the fix is included, you need to manually update one of your game's file.

Oh wow amazing that you found the problem and could come with a workaround so fast :o De rien et merci beaucoup aussi ! Should I just replace the conquest.lua content with your texts? Don't hesitate to send a friend request if you want to discuss this or other aspects of my mod.

the remaining implementation, goes below on lines 78 or so, left the original comments in for reference

-- Reset turn of next treasure generation
--(Davidaf - removed the old line and added my implementation using the new variable)
local iRandom = Game.Rand(25, "Delay between natural wonder treasures");
DAVIDAF_iGenerateTreasureTurn = iGameTurn + 25 + iRandom
savedData.SetValue("DAVIDAF_iGenerateTreasureTurn", DAVIDAF_iGenerateTreasureTurn) -- Store in save data
end
end);

And that would be it. Thanks for your reply too Auroar, good to know the mod isn't dead. merci beaucoup for so many hours of entertainment with your mod.

=) =) =)

here's my code:


--(KLUDGE - using an unused modern era CvGame data field as a counter)
--local iGenerateTreasureTurn = Game:GetNoNukesCount();
--(Davidaf - commented the line above for keepsaking and added new implementation using a save dependant storage space for the generatetreasureturn variable.
-- used my name as TAG to avoid any possible conflicts, even though unlikely but just following the wiki guidelines found here https://modiki.civfanatics.com/index.php/Persisting_data_(Civ5))
local savedData = Modding.OpenSaveData();
local DAVIDAF_iGenerateTreasureTurn = savedData.GetValue("DAVIDAF_iGenerateTreasureTurn");
if (DAVIDAF_iGenerateTreasureTurn == nil) then
DAVIDAF_iGenerateTreasureTurn = 1;
end
local iGameTurn = Game.GetGameTurn();
local iFeatureID;

-- Time to generate a treasure?
(wonder list here)
(...)

Second half that goes below the wonders in another message

I found the issue! and fixed it! the issue was inside Scenarios/Conquest/conquest.lua lines 9 and 78. That .lua is using a global game variable regarding nukes that I assume is how many more turns nukes cannot be built, and it's using it as a counter! since that scenario is way older than nuke era so the author never assumed it would be used.(lazy implementation in my opinion)

I first tried commenting those lines and voila, nukes were buildable and manhattan project too, as in vanilla.

But of course this would break the treasure spawns around natural wonders so I worked out a way to get it doing its thing again.

will post in a new message if you want to add it to the main mod(steam character limit)

I'm glad you found something that may be related to the problem. Yet if a project allowing nukes appears to be greyed out it doesn't help us much as a fix to enable the building of nukes. I don't remember having experienced this problem often in late games but when I did some experiments with IngameEditor it indeed happened. Have you tried playing a regular game in late eras to see if it occurred the same way?

Sorry to bother again, I may have discovered something that helps debug this. I've tried changing the apollo program <AllowsNukes>false</AllowsNukes> tag to true and then it behaves in the same way. It shows up but greyed out. Just leaving this here in case it helps. I feel I'm pretty close to finding the issue

nevermind, this sadly also happens in single player. It's very weird, I only load this mod, which is amazing and I've been subscribed since 2022, but if I load IGE too for testing purposes. On turn 0, I can found a city, give myself all atom era techs, and the manhattan project is there and can be worked on, I pass 1 turn and it becomes greyed out. If I build the city, pass turn and then give me the tech, it shows up already grey. So something happens on turn 1 somehow that prevents me from building it. Apollo project works without issue. I've looked everywhere in the mod files and cannot find the reason and it's driving me crazy. Was this ever solved? (I just saw someone else had this issue some years ago in this comments thread)

I forgot to add, this only happens when playing multiplayer and everyone has the mod too

for some reason when using this mod I cannot build the manhattan project so I cannot make nukes, any idea why? I checked the files and I cannot find anything that would indicate why it's greyed out. The project shows up, I have uranium, I have the atom theory, but I cannot build it anywhere. Does it have another hidden requirement somehow?

Pas vraiment, je ne les possède pas :)

so, one day i'll try to learn how to mod, do you see problems if i start by inspiring from your mod? i want to make a mod to put the smiko skies civs in a normal game, you're the only mod to do it

Smacking into Pretoria with Atlases and Field Cannons is fun.

I love how strong Egypt is in this <3

Yes it suffers from some unexplained unstabilities... It's quite uncommon but sometimes at a given turn it crashes. I'm sorry for that

do you know why it always crash when near turn 480? thats the only mod i use and it still crash

I'm sorry I was convinced I had precised so in the mod's description but turns out I haven't or I mixed the text's versions up.

Yes there is a readme attached to the mod's files stating how to fix the animation properly (you need to replace a game file that configures animations)

No

I am guessing this mod is not compatible with future worlds?

Hi, I've been playing this mod with Quick Turns and it seems the Forbidden Palace +10% production for each trade route to city-states doesn't work. I'm only getting the Hanse bonus but not the wonder one at all.

No, why?

Hello! Are you planing some updates?

Yes to me it was quite obvious, I'm sorry I tend to make this mod less and less compatible with others... Thanks again for your fidelity and I'm glad you still like my content over years :)

Hi again. I looked through and I had another mod that added resources and seemed to conflict. Thanks for responding, though.

Do you play with any other mod along with this one?

Hey there, I have a quick question. I've played this mod before but recently started up a game with the latest version. I haven't been able to improve any of the new resources, and a quick glance through the file doesn't reveal anything to my largely untrained eye. Any help would be appreciated, this is one of my favorites!

YEEEEEEEEEES!!!!
THAKS!!!! I LOVE U AND YOUR MOD!!!!

Fixed.

I'm sorry for this problem! I'm currently in holidays but will be looking after it asap.

When you close "liberty" in culture tree you can choose free great person, but the button doesn't open the window of this choose and i can't end turn

I don't understand about what choice you're talking I'm sorry.

When i try to chose the great person the button doesn't work and i can't end the turn....

Sorry, I'm at a loss. I've taken a look at all of those mods, and can't think of anything that might cause a conflict. Are you maybe using EUI? I've had compatibility issues with it before.
Regarding your comment on the German empire, I have to agree. I was once playing a game of VP as Germany, France declared war on me, and I eliminated them from play. Sooooooo satisfying.

currently using only:
- 80 Promotions pack -no DL required (a variant to get rid of skull icons)
- JFD's Civilizations - Netherlands (Wilhelmina)
- Artificial Unintelligence Lite (a variant of)
- ++Antikythera Mechanism++
-Ingame Editor

latest game, turns lasted until Turn 220+ before crash. Managed to see a budding German empire formed in the middle of Terra with IGE Panzer start, was preparing to sack Paris... a shame it crashed then... For some reason the Luddite didn't appear any ships even though everyone was in the Enlightenment Era...

Hi @friend robocat
What other mods are you using? That might help with troubleshooting. I've personally never had issues with slow turn processing, although the slow save loading is a bother. Have you already tried the classic fix (delete contents of cache folder, config.ini, GraphicsSettingsDX11.ini, UserSettings.ini, then verifying game files)? If that doesn't work, maybe uninstalling and re-installing all mods might be worth a shot? Hope this helps, cheers.

please fix the slow loading and turn times, it feels like the mod is horribly unoptimized

This mod doesn't require anything but pretty much all DLCs.

I want try this mod, but game said "this mod require anothers" so where can I DL what is missing?
