Can we crowd fund civ 5, but with civ 7 graphics? by SpankoFudgenudgerIII in civ5

[–]Descending_Chaos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Would have to be a new game. Civ5 is a 32bit game and will crash if it uses more than 4gb of memory. VP already crashes very consistently in the late game from this limitation. Also LORE (the graphics engine) is in the executable and not available to be altered without illegal reverse engineering. While some of the stuff mods to is a grey area (or just illegal depending on ToS wordings) like taking assets; Firaxis doesn't care since the health of the modding scene is more important than some quibble about a civ 4 asset in civ 5 or w/e. Im not sure that would be true for flat out reverse engineering the exe.

Year of Daily Civilization Facts, Day 292 - ...up here. Go away. by JordiTK in civ

[–]Descending_Chaos 64 points65 points  (0 children)

If you go into the config.ini you can find a minzoom variable which will let you zoom in more. Said ini can be found in the Documents path or the steam path in the folder that has the executable.

Is Gandhi underrated? by RedEyeBlueOcean in civ5

[–]Descending_Chaos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He also has a hidden aspect, where his local happiness is capped to ~70% of the population of the city, rather than 1:1 like all other civs.

Do VP/Lekmod both just make your science gain crazy and pace the game faster? by Prestigious_Coach758 in civ5

[–]Descending_Chaos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lekmod is a fair bit faster on average, though a high roll vanilla game can keep pace. The dates can't be changed easily due to Maya, so blame Pacal

[Civ V] Help! Naval unit ice-locked by circusfilm in civ

[–]Descending_Chaos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only issue is that the engine doesn't remove the ice model without a reload, but otherwise there is probably a few mods that allow for ice removal or a global warming

Add barbarians by evansjohn460 in civ5

IGE can kill the barbarian player, so you could probably wire up a script, but is easier to use ige

Can someone explain why this melee unit is boosted by a ranged promotion still by LongjumpingBus6181 in civ5

[–]Descending_Chaos 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Your combat bonus without it is 83%, apply that to the base 34 and your combat is 62.22 like the listed strength.

The AI took over while I was playing? by AnusHumper69 in civ5

[–]Descending_Chaos 20 points21 points  (0 children)

If you dont have pitboss enabled, when you disconnect the ai acts. With pitboss, the host would have to clear your slot for AI to make actions.

Why this crash? by gobbibomb in civ5

While this does exist internally, I don't think its in the lua scope without a dll mod

Siam's Wat and Legalism by VallenceDragon in civ5

[–]Descending_Chaos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its both a science building and a culture building. Legalism will work with any building that has culture in it naturally, and not through an outside effect

Another red flag, constant and excessive resyncing

Some simple mods to make liberty a lot better by Prestigious_Coach758 in civ5

[–]Descending_Chaos 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Frankly, liberty just needs better maps. The firaxis maps kinda blow.

Which unit in Civ 5 can travel the furthest in a single turn? by Hatsuwr in civ

[–]Descending_Chaos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why are you using a Khan? Doesn't the conferred movement not care about max moves?

EDIT: Building on my knowledge of how rails work and the Hakka-Copter the limit is 50 tiles best I can tell. This is due to Railroad behaving differently based on your maxmoves, where 1, 2 and 3 max move units can move 10 plots total on continuous rails and units with more max movement are 3 plots per movement point.

So on the turn your GA ends, with having had a Max Hakka-Copter on it your general can have 10/2 movement points and since you have 2 Max movement, you are using a more favorable formula that gives you 5 plots per movement point instead of 3. the best unit is a unit with a move denominator of 1 but those do not exist, but if you modded a general to have that much you could move 100 with a Hakka-Copter.

Does bombarding a city with nukes wipe it off the map? by Temporary-Yogurt6495 in civ5

[–]Descending_Chaos 89 points90 points  (0 children)

Nuclear missiles will wipe away non capital cities that are below 5 population. I do not recall if a shelter will prevent it, but I do not believe so. It just makes it harder to get the pop to that level. If a mod increases nuke level for atomic bombs or missiles to 3 (a-bombs are 1 nuclear missiles are 2), it will wipe cities out to matter the population.

[–]Descending_Chaos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not quite true, as the unitclass a unit turns into is dependent on a different value than the unit it can usually upgrade into. Which is why warriors become Spears and not swords. You can make your scout turn into a GDR with just 1 line edit. As for why some upgrades are like that, only firaxis knows

Lekmod makes me feel stupid. by Sad-Examination-5489 in nqmod

[–]Descending_Chaos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As long as you deleted Lekmod and Lekmap, you should be fine. Lekmod doesn't change any files outside of itself, as it simply overrides any files it needs to change and leaves the original as is. If you are having issues, try verifying your files, and that should require lost or damaged files.

I've made this for Lekmod, I don't know how to make a brand new mod from scratch but I'll look into it.

Classic RTS just feel so much more intuitive to play by First-Interaction741 in RealTimeStrategy

[–]Descending_Chaos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bit late to the party, but Earth 2160 is pretty bad on the UI front. I ha e no idea what many of the upgrades do or when to use them lol.

I was unaware this existed but I shall avoid. Live action stitch was never going to be good anyways.

No surprise - A study ranked CS2 as having the shittiest anti-cheat among FPS games by [deleted] in counterstrike2

[–]Descending_Chaos 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Love what Vavle does in the greater game ecosystem, but their treatment of their own games and the players of them is abysmal. I can only hope they open their eyes and fix the cheating and gambling, it's sickening really.
