I did send a message to Bellerach about remembering to vote yesterday. They had previously responded to my PM asking about experience level.

Attention Greens! The reason JackRB wins this:

"Superdeath seems to have acquired a rep for aggression somehow.
![[Image: noidea.gif]](https://www.realmsbeyond.net/forums/images/smilies/noidea.gif) In this game that's going to help us because he's going to go to the negotiating table with twitchy eyes and slightly too wide a grin and terrify the neighbors into favorable border agreements, one-sided tech deals and staggered NAPs."-Old Harry. PB48.
It varies by mechanic IIRC; for AI bonus Noble is the default, for civic costs Emperor/Deity/Immortal is the default (1.0) setting. Confusingly, AI civic costs are at 1.0 at Prince and lower.
Ramk has graciously provided a test game for you to all try joining if you haven't before. Please make sure you can join before game starts to avoid delays.
https://civ.zulan.net/pbspy/game/1/ this link has the various things you need to download: Mod version: CloseToHome_2.0.5 - note download from pbspy instead of from CtH thread. - put in mod folder BTS_Wrapper - note this also has the ' Civ4BeyondSword2015.exe ' as part of the download. Ramk posted a BUNCH of instructions when helping Joshy which can be found here. https://www.realmsbeyond.net/forums/show...#pid787410 Use pb.zulan.net:2057 for direct IP connection once you have it launched (ie sub for PB59 string in instructions above). Note you can join as me with pw of ' test ' if rest get taken. (June 28th, 2021, 22:19)Mjmd Wrote: Ramk posted a BUNCH of instructions when helping Joshy which can be found here. This link doesn't work for me; it looks like you probably copy/pasted something wrong?
I believe I'm having issues, so I'll try the detailed instructions in a bit. (Using the Steam version, for reference). But this is how far I got:
Installed the mods, binary, and wrapper, and created the shortcut as in the instructions. This loaded fine. I then went to connect to the server. This also seemed to go fine. (During some later tinkering I discovered that the game gives me an error message during login if I'm not using the "original release - unsupported" beta, though this didn't seem to affect anything.) I selected a civ, hit okay, and went to load the game. The first sign of issues was when I got to the "finishing" screen, which appeared to hang on a black screen for a while. But it eventually sent me to the opening screen with the 'it is 4000 BC, blah blah blah'. I hit okay. I was then immediately hit with this screen: ![[Image: RNgM9zk]](https://imgur.com/a/RNgM9zk) I'm guessing that this means that it crashed immediately upon entering the game? In which case it appears that there's still an issue to be fixed . . . (direct imgur link in case the image thing doesn't work: https://imgur.com/a/RNgM9zk ) |
