So for a challenge, I'm trying out a heavy nature focus on Impossible and... how do you get anywhere? The best summon you have is Sprites, and they are pitifully weak. There's not much to help your city troops either. Invariably, this leads to a very weak early game which allows AI to mushroom fast with their illegal resource/production bonuses and then crush you mercilessly.

BRICK IS LAZY.

Here I collect some common problems with the mod:

The mod is not starting?

Do try the following things:

• Try to unzip the mod inside the mod folder
  
• Make sure the unzipped folder isn't a folder in a folder with the same names

So, I wanna start the game in a window without having to start it fullscreen and then hit alt-enter.

I swear I used to be able to do this. I've set all my .conf files to fullscreen=disabled and that doesn't matter though...

The gog dosbox configurator doesn't appear to have any effect on anything either... It'd be really great to run in a window and get 200% superscaling. I swear it was possible and on my old computer (in 2019) had it setup perfectly.... but even copying the .conf file from that old computer didn't help at all.

Anyone have a clue what's up?

NOTE: GoG version.


edit: I also tried using a shortcut directly to the dosbox exe with these flags

  -conf DOSBOXMOM.conf -noconsole -c "exit"

But whenever I try to run the shortcut with those flags it just instantly closes itself... oh wait... I changed the target directory and now when I run dosbox it just doesn't launch master of magic and leaves me on the dosbox command prompt, hmm...


edit:

SOLUTION:

LOL sorry, my bad. I had to mount ".." instead of "." because of the extra nested directory.



This is what my desktop looks like at 1440p desktop resolution. It's honestly not as good as it looked on my old 1080p monitor. However if I increase the window size any further in the dosbox configuration file it seems to "break" aka default back to minimium original resolution.

   

Test 1.
I accidentally let this run for an unlimited duration instead of the intended 1518, but stopped it in 1525.
I think the picture speaks for itself, fixing the starting relation bug made AI alliances pretty broken again.
   

I will run more tests just in case...

Tests use Expert difficulty, 13 players, default settings on everything else.

I received the starting position via PM. Will post it here later.

Any interest in a new RtR game?

Settings
- Normal game speed
- Monarch difficulty
- Unrestricted leaders
- No technology trading
- No vassal states
- No tribal villages
- No random events
- True AI Diplo
- Advanced start ancient era
- City gifting: restricted to 1 city per peace treaty
- Unit gifting: banned by game setting
- Map trading: banned by game setting
- Barbarians: on
- Toroidal
- Map: non-mirror
- Map size: standard 100-120
- single landmass
- no super-lush “contested” center/borders between players.

Conversion to sequential:

Quote:- at first DoW, or T30 (whichever is earlier). On T29 play turns according to sequential play order, last player pauses instead of ending turn and PM's Ramk.
- prior to T29, make good faith effort to declare war according to player ID (try to take first half if lower ID, 2nd half if higher ID).
- if war is declared prior to T29, give first-in-turn-order option to convert to sequential immediately or continue with simultaneous (either inconsequential scouting war, or double-move issue with turn ID out of order where first would rather delay conversion until a better time for the double-move to occur).

Hi. GKC had to drop out from PB56 and we need a new player. The game has not started yet and picks haven't been made, but the map seems to be ready.
