EitB PBEM XXXVII Setup and Tech Thread

[Lord Parkin]

(Raises the interesting hypothetical that someone could edit this before they play to give themselves hundreds of extra commerce with no trace.)

Just tested editing Summoner to +9000 beakers/turn and loading HidingKneel's save - display on mouseover changes, but actual in-game yield remains at +4 beakers/turn. Good to know anyway.

To be 100% clear, I think the Q fix is just to revert Summoner back to the v9 state, which is what we will be using.

[Lord Parkin]

I have edited v10.1 to remove the beaker bonus from Summoner. Otherwise starting the game with v10.1 as it stands. Is that okay?

[Kredom]

ok GO GO GO!!!! the spice must flow!!!!!

[Lord Parkin]

Will be about 30 minutes while I have a bite to eat and double check I've converted all the civs/leaders/techs/units/promotions correctly. Will post when the new save is off to Whosit/Yell0w.

[Lord Parkin]

New T0 save sent to Whosit/Yell0w. Have fun guys!

[Lord Parkin]

First post should be updated:

1. Whosit/Yell0w (Flauros of Calabim)
2. Aurorarcher (Sheelba of Clan of Embers)
3. HidingKneel (Kandros Fir of Khazad)
4. Kredom (Volanna of Svartalfar)
5. Qgqqqqq/Bobchillingworth (Os-Gabella of Sheaim)

Remember to all edit your v10.1 files as follows:

Open this file:
http://1drv.ms/VNC4lE

And search for "Summoner". Beneath there should be a series of rows which affect what the trait does. Fins the one that goes something like [Commercechange]4[/Commercechange] (terminology is wrong, but you'll know it when you see it) amid a bunch of other [Commercechange]0[/Commercechange] and change the 4 to a zero.

On my computer this file is located at:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Firaxis Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 4\Beyond the Sword\Mods\Erebus in the Balance v10.1\Assets\XML\Civilizations\CIV4TraitInfos.xml

Ctrl-F and search for "Summoner".

Scroll down a little and change the following line:

<iCommerce>4</iCommerce>

To:

<iCommerce>0</iCommerce>

This is just a textual change - Summoner will give +0 beakers/city regardless of whether you update this or not, but if you don't update the civilopedia will incorrectly say "+4 beakers/city".

Thanks, Lord Parkin! Really appreciate all the work you've put into this. Hopefully we'll make it up to you in entertainment value as we bumble around your map .

I don't understand... right now I've got a 10.1 version where summoner gives 4bpt per city.

If I edit the file it will change the numbers displayed, but won't a SUM civ still get 4bpt?
Don't I need to download another version of 10.1 to actually change the trait?
