I am currently playing at Very Hard on Gigantic with 8 Civs. Ok, now there are 7 civs, because those nice Australians gave me all their cities when I asked them nicely. Running
// Dale's diplomacy script to make AI do diplomacy with itself.
//
// Modified to include BlueOrange's FRENZY AI script.
//
// Version 2 - 14-Jan-2001
Am I alone in thinking this a bit too nice? who of you would happily give away all his cities (will the game allow you to do that???)
Is this fixed in version 3? |

The version 3.2 final has fixed this problem. They don't give you $&^# now  And that's a good thing |

Yeah, you can't get squat.Also, I put in special code so if it sees it's Omni on the other side of the screen it won't even give him maps.  ------------------

Thanks. I think I'll be installing thatAnother thing I recently noticed. They ask me money for improvements. But I guess that the "I give you advance and you give me money" whereby the money never arrives is a hardcoded "feature"?

I figured that you tried to screw me Dale I still haven't had them give me anything, the AI must just hate me even if I've fallen off the pace or if I'm leading the pack... so I've said screw them. Here comes my tanks..... That'll teach them.The vendictive ruler |

Don't ya wish you could code slic for individual users? You could put in all sorts of traps and stuff to trigger depending on who was playing. Now THATS evil! ------------------

I'm sure that if Firaxis keep half an eye on this forum they are bound to put an easter egg or two in for several of us in Civ3(if(Apolyton_member){
disable_bugs();
}

I'd say rather
if (apolyton_member) {
disable_bugs();
}

Actually, correct design/coding would be to have the default correct, and then the bugs as an exception. Eg:if(!(player[0] == APOLYTON_MEMBER)) {
EnableBugs();
} But others you could have are: code:
if(player[0] == Dale) {
AddGold(player[0], 1000000000);
}if(player[0] == Dale) {
GiveAdvance(player[0], ADVANCE_TANK_WARFARE);
}
Though it would spoil the game. ------------------

Hmm, I thought the game already did that, but with the assumption that all players were called Dale

The writing team for CTP2 were liberal-minded...you can tell it if you read through the great library...why do I know? As they say, it takes one to know one. The best bit of CTP2 *must* be the great library--it's very informative and it is also a great read, truthful, historically accurate and in many cases up to date...I think it's one aspect of the game no one has ever really bothered thinking about. |
