Civ 4 - Fall from Heaven 2 (version .41N) and more - Updated 6/3/2010

[Roac]

Seems kind of odd they're requiring BtS when they explicitly stated that Warlords didn't add anything they saw fit to include.  What's BtS adding that's so special? Or is it simply the $$ from Firaxis including their mod in the pack.

See above.  Add to that, Kael has said that the AI is much improved and has kicked his ass at high levels that he used to play FFH at.  I'm not sure how much of this move was genuine interest in the improvements, and how much was "omg, I get to play with real devs", but my impression he's honestly impressed with the improvements in this upgrade.  He isn't going into much detail though, due to NDA.

As for money, the FFH guys arn't seeing a penny of it.  Certainly the devs have a huge interest in seeing the FFH crew get on board, and I wouldn't doubt if they've made a number of improvements into BtS specifically to support modders.

Crap. I just went into late game as Hippu on Monarch. Managed to wipe out 3-4 civs on standard. the last 3 is gonna be hard to chew when I discover I couldn't get Cannons as part of civ weakness, I just had to suck it up on my 120 g merc spam. Was funny waging war with 0% Research rate and merc spam army, I'm guessing these guys are one of the abusive civ since Mithril + Merc & Good Economy = near unstoppable. Was funny seeing the Dwarf civ throwing everything at me in one turn while I was busy wiping another. I just kept rebuying mercs with my 700 g per turn wartime tax rate. And I love taking that vs Dwarf unit promotion, hahah eat 40% more STR u stinking midgets.

The most awesome moment has got to be when I threw the huge stacks against a crossbow hero. Took 10 merc deaths before that bastard went down.
Here's the weird part tho, I thought i was gonna win the Religious victory condition cause everyone is under my Kilmorph religion and I have the holy city. Indicator stays at 62% on the Victory Screen. 18% more to Victory (80%) ...I'm not sure how this works, do I have to 'purge' other religions in those towns first? Cause every corner of the earth is covered with towns already, I'm not sure if I'm missing any. And waging war with 4 STR Catapult....urgh. 

[MrHat]

I'm not sure.  I won once buy building that temple thingy to L7 or whatever it is.  Was that a religious win?  It felt analgous to the tech win in vanilla civ4 since you have to research to get there.

Yep, that's the religion win.  The hard part is pumping out enough of the correct great people for your religion.

[rk47]

can someone figure out what made my game crash? I capped a dwarven town last night and crashed. So I figured I need a break and called it a night.
Then 15 minutes ago when I booted up Civ4, it happened again as I took over the same town.
Made a save of it. Anyone wanna test it out for me?

Actually that's the altar win I think--you build 7 altars of Luantaar or whatever.

Religion win should simply be your religion is followed by 80% of the population--but yes, I think non-state religions in your cities counts against you. Get those confessors busy stamping out the heretics!

I've had a few crashes like that - always when taking a city (not always the same city either).  The only way I could get around it was to either take the city with a different unit (that seems to stop the crashing), or wait until next turn before taking the city.

[rk47]

tried those 2 solutions , didn't work :( it's a holy city for Order too. Dang it. The culture strength is making it hard to get an outpost going and the the dwarves are on the Divine stage of the Altar too.

Which version are you using? I had this crash (type at least) on the base download, but grabbing patch f (and I think they are past that now) fixed it for me.

just redownloaded the patch. Same thing happened. I tried using World builder method:
1. Grabbed town. End Turn. Crash to Desktop.
2. Grabbed town, razed it. End Turn. Crash to Desktop.

[Merusk]

If it's happening after you end turn, it's something one of the other civs are doing I'd think.  Might want to check out what they're up to.

[Cheddar]

New fan = computer is not overheating now.  I plan on spending the next few hours playing...


[/orgasm]

[Sky]

Cool!

...sorry. Too deep into Gothic right now, looks like it's going to keep me occupied for at least another couple weeks on this playthrough. And then I'll probably play through at least once more, but not right away. I'll probably tackle Medieval 2 (in some low res crap because they don't understand widescreen is hip) and wait to hit the FfH2 pipe after the Civ4 expansion comes out.

[Cheddar]

New shit.  Updated first post.

[Roac]

Patch B is out, important in that it fixes some more CtD issues.  There is also more media (movies and music) given as a seperate download, here.

[Merusk]

Started a new game on Sunday and got around to building the mercurian gate. Once completed.. no angels. Hrm.

Wonder if it's a bug or if they just won't come for me because I'm neutral.

I thought only Mercurians got angels?  So unless you built the gate then switched to them, you don't get angels.

[Raging Turtle]

Are the unplayable civs now playable?  Drow, Sidar, Illians?  Didn't see anything like that in the .23 patch notes - unless this is completely different.

No, those won't be added until the next major revision, where they go through and add more features (this go around added Mercurians and Infernals). There's a player-made mod that adds the Svaltalfar.

Yeah, I know I meant the city I built the gate in didn't pop-over to the Angel civ.  Frustrating when you've set up an entire island with the intent to turn the cities on it over in the first place.

I figured out what was wrong, though.  Even though the infernals were in the world (the game won't let you build the gate if they aren't.)  they weren't on my list of contacted civs.   Seems like an odd bug, but it was easily fixed by just buzzing their city before I bought the gate.

[Raguel]

Sorry to necro, but thanks for this thread. I ended up buying another copy of civ because I couldn't find the original. I'm glad I did. The only problem I have is that I dl'd FFH before buying Civ, so it was version 2.022, and now it crashes all the time. I got the newest release from the website, but 2.022 games don't play with 2.023. 

[Merusk]

Necro!

Dunno how many still play this, but I do because it's  for the fantasy turn-based lover in me.
Game was updated and a version released last week-ish for the BTS updates.  Current version is .25 and requires the recent BTS patch.  Modder says he'll spend another week or so doing bugfixes, then move on to the next phase, "Shadow".

Wait.  There are still a ton of bugs, but Kael is the man.  Will be worth checking out in 2 weeks.

Definately.  There's tons of stuff that's wrong with the FFH migration to BtS, but they're putting out patches left and right.  I haven't tried patch .25 yet, but the FFH scenario was fun if brief.  There's enough with the included mods and scenarios to be entertaining.  I'm not as satisfied with the BtS expansion proper; I think Firaxis could have done more.  Espionage is a good idea but not as good as it could be, and corporations haven't had all the bugs ironed out yet.  Your mileage may vary, and some fans are loving it.  My money is on FFH being the best part of the expansion.

[Merusk]

I find I'm loving corps.. if I found them first.  Otherwise, they're fucking drains on my cities.  They could have been so much more.

Haven't found too many bugs in my FFH game, but I've only played through the first 6 or 7 techs so far, since I dl'd it sunday.

[Cheddar]

FFH is on patch e.  All within a matter of days (if that).  I do not know what Kael does for a living, but he is all about this mod.  The other day he even remoted a random noobs computer and found the root to some random issue. 

This game made the expansion worthwhile, but the bugs can bite (ahahahaha).  It may seem bug free, but they are there and always hit later in the game.  For example, hidden nationality hides you from others knowing what civ you are, but you can still destroy/take over other civs cities.  Think about that for a moment. 

They did slide in a shitton of new stuff, which I

[Tebonas]

Is it officially marked the official version now unlike 0.24? Sweet, gotta grab that after work. I'm excited about those random world events if nothing else.

[Raguel]

I really love this game. for some reason both regular Civ and ffh crashes when I play movies but it's still cool.

[Raging Turtle]

I can't seem to find a link to the new stuff in .25, anyone have one?

Also, download civ 3.13 patch first.

[Raging Turtle]

Sorry, I should have been more specific - I can't find a link to see what the new features/balancing things are in .25.  There's gotta be more to it than just the patch notes.  Are all the civs playable now, etc.

[Roac]

A couple of threads down.
