checking the human player may be ok.
But its only one time possible in a turn when you establish an embassy in a barbarian city. The barbarian leader appears within this turn in the F3 main diplo window. After this turn the embassy would vanish and reestablishing embassy is not possible to open the barbarian dipl. window twice. But this ist not working in every case. I couldnt found out why.

for AI identification this ist not possible. They(AI) never communicate with Barbarians.

The Hodads were cool in that scenario. Did you know 'Hodad' was a model of guitar made by Fender in the early '60s? It was used in a lot of surfer music from that era....

I liked the high-attack low-defense Viking marines that attack from high-attack longboats in Harlan's Vikings. I liked the idea enough to copy it in Fictional Americas.

Hence the surfer-types names for the alien cities!

Tooting my own horn . . . .
Back on topic . . .

Has anyone else ever used the CivCity program to arrange that only specified cities can have "oil fields?" (Which are actually Hydro plants)

If not, I lay first claim to it.

Ditto. Their low defence stats and general inability to bother fortified cities gave that scenario a fantastic dynamic.

I have actually, some months ago.Only that there were termed "conscription centers".

Still to release that scenario though.


But i think that the concept first appeared in 2194 days of war.

I don't know the program. Now tell me; can You arrange also that only specific cities can have palace, or marketplace, or any other improvement? If so, it'd be great.

No, it only happens with some flag that the game sets (but existing flags)

such as 'coastal' (you can edit coastal cities so that they appear as landlockes for game purposes, and so cannot build ships or the sea improvements..

same happens with the hydro plant: it needs a river to be built, so the cities can be hex-edited to allow or disallow the construction of such.

When you build a city, if it has a river in it's radius, the game marks it as able to build a hydro plant. You can, by hex editing (or using CivCity), toggle which cities can and which can't. You then rename the hydro plant to whatever you wish, and you can have custom power plants buildable in only some cities.

Ok, here it is;
Using the utility program CivCity by Mercator, you can go into a scenario, select any city, and decide whether you want it to be "coastal" or not. Doesn't matter where the city is or what terrain is around it. There is a checkbox that allows you to make that decision regardless of where the city might actually be on the map. When you deny a city the "coastal" status, it cannot build HARBORS, PORTS, or OFFSHORE PLATFORMS.

The same is true for shipbuilding ability. There is another checkbox that will allow or deny this too. This will also prevent the construction of COASTAL FORTS if this is not checked. For some reason, the program treats coastal forts like ships. If you don't check this box, you can't build either one.

Lastly, there is also a checkbox for "HYDRO." When you check this, a HYDRO PLANT can be built there, regardless of where the city may actually be. And, conversely, when you don't check it, or un-check it, the selected city cannot build a HYDRO PLANT.

No hex editing necessary.

Surely this sort of thing must have been done before, if at the very least by the original author of the utility who implemented the City Flag options in the first place. BTW, the author of CivCity is Carl Fritz, not Mercator.

how is this for an idea:
when making a city combat simulation (rare as though they are) you can use ocean squares as roads. This is great, as you can simulate the benefits and importance of a road system, and also you can limit travel
(eg. Gansters Scenario - getaway veichle: very fast, can only store two units. or tank: slow, good at bombardng, can hold one unit...etc) You could also have zero movement places called 'Crossings' where infantry can pass from one side of the road to the other

sure... adding one realism sacrifices another, but i think it is a novel idea

Hey cool

I didn't know Gothmog had made an update. Must remember to nominate him for the ACS HOF next time round.

That's a pretty neat site. I don't think I ever saw it before- thanks for the link

(I downloaded all my civscenarios at sites started pre 2000 )

I personally liked the Weimar Republic scenario idea. Anyone know whatever happened to that?
