The wild thing is Starcraft 2 and Warcraft 3 are obviously different games. But when people ignore sequels this is what you get.

I've been playing a lot of Civ 2 in the past week, and I'll say, Civ 2 AI is pretty bad. I think Civ 3 has peak AI.

@@suedeciviii7142 but what about Civ5 AI? Is it significantly worse then in Civ3 or just slightly?

@@torrvic1156 I haven't played enough Civ 5 to say for sure. But Civ 6 and Civ 2 are definitely worse.

Yes of course. Don't get fooled, here I spawn alone as England. But better land on a pangea map, conquest would be the way to go.

I could have stopped the video right there hahah

I absolutely did not contribute to making this. I have no coding skills and the only work I can do is with the Civ 3 editor. But what you described is possible and, in fact, easier than what they've accomplished with this mod!

@suedeciviii7142 incredible anyway thanks for sharing!

Took me a sec, and I thought this was spam, but Hah!

If you check the f8 or whatever screen, it actually scales. So, the difference between 1 and 2 pop is smaller than between 4 and 5. But it makes no gameplay difference

Might be worth doing. "How to make simple edits with the map editor".

Kind of like the expanded game option from Civ 2 Test of Time! But better hahah

What are land/sea intersections? Basically, you can pass through a 1 tile landbridge with a boat, the same way you can in SMAC

Thank you for the heads up. Why do they ban it?

Hi Ruin. I'm glad to see you warning people here. I tried. Though, also, I think you missed the acceptable versions part before you submitted, and games of yours got accepted when that wasn't consistent with what got stated by the rules page.

@@suedeciviii7142 There's a list of acceptable versions. It's not on it. The first problem with the mod lies in that the default settings do things that most definitely alter the behavior of the game. The AIs can move artillery units out of cities and also will train them more often. That changes their economy, and captured artillery could have some uses for faster finishes dates. Superslug (who officiates the HoF games) didn't feel comfortable with how it alters the .exe file. I don't know the details. But, I remember reading a while back that the HoF staff has special software to check games. That software probably might not work with the C3X mod. Superslug *did* put up a post asking if it should get used. He said he wasn't entirely sure if he could officiate it to begin with, though still put it up for discussion. But, ultimately it got decided as not allowable. There would also exist the whole issue of which version as allowable if it got accepted for the HoF, with what sorts of settings. So, I can see superslug's decision as rational (not that allowing the C3X mod would have been irrational also).

@Spoonwood I'm like the Shoeless Joe Jackson of Civ3 but my ghost is condemned to wander KZbin instead of a cornfield.

@@ruinchristmas5806 Hey, did you hear that Pete Rose died. :( It turns out though that he was safe ... at home!

What do you mean? As in, you don't like trading? Or you trade techs but you're not as good at it? But yes, you could win demigod easily with no tech trades if you just choose better land. The Great Library also makes trading irrelevant for the first half of the game.

@@suedeciviii7142 I see. Thanks for the info! I’ve just played this awesome game soo many years ago and remember it as incredibly fun and difficult. I wondered how human being can win this on high difficulty. And nowadays I am trying to understand if there is a lot of variety in this game.

Agreed. I love options that speed the game up, it's a shame when the clarity suffers

Civ 2 ToT is the real Civ in space. Video on it coming soon Beyond Earth will have to wait, until I upgrade my computer, I can't record footage for anything Civ 4 and onward without it being choppy

Wow thats nice. Is it on windows 10 or only on 11?

@@BrandonWilliams-wf6hg i believe it's in windows 10 but more robust in windows 11. i know people love to hate on windows 11, but i have basically tweaked and modded out everything that people love to complain about with it. it's more than fine if you know how to tweak it.

Godbless, you don't know how many boomers have hit a brickwall trying to install even the simplest thing thanks to the lack of it.

​@@suedeciviii7142 I was born in '95, and i can't use winrar without giving up 10 times before i make it do what i want. 😅

(From the page linked above) NO-RAZE: The "NoRaze" mod has been re-implemented inside C3X. To enable it, edit the config file mentioned above. There are separate options to prevent autorazing and razing by player's choice.

@@suedeciviii7142 Just tried this out. Holy shit. This mod is everything. I still prefer Civ III to any other civ, this will make me play it even more. I wish there was a way to bring back bird's eye view of cities.

i've known about the mod for like a year now, and there's still plenty the creator wants to add. There's a full list on the forums somewhere they've got where they're keeping track of what they've added vs what they want. I believe that's on there as well, so it will be added eventually, but I don't know when. But definitely check out the forums, and you can see the list he made, and the requests from others (might take a bit though, cause there's quite a few posts in that thread, lol)

Per tile, IIRC. Yes absolutely. If you're playing huge maps with massive stacks, the nesting is preferable.
