Chrisau Posted June 19 Report Share Posted June 19 I'd really love the ability to select the Phase in which the game commences. This would allow for a wider variety of singleplayer and multiplayer playing styles. It's a common feature of many games with technology or research phases. For me, I'd like to jump right into military composition, battle tatics, etc. without all the "boilerplate" of unlocking my civ's champion units and siege units. I'm wondering if there's a console command or config file I could tweak or some other hacky workaround. Also, as a programmer, I'd be okay with contributing this feature to the Matches UI. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wowgetoffyourcellphone Posted June 20 Report Share Posted June 20 Ideally it would be nice if it was extended to: Nomad Village (standard start) Post-Village Town Post-Town City Post-City And then be compatible with mods which have more phases, such as Delenda Est, so: Empire Post-Empire Post- means that all of the techs up to that point have been auto researched. Only exception is paired techs. In that case, resource and time costs are set to 0 and all the player has to do is click one out of the pair they want. So, Post-Town would mean every tech in Village and Town are automatically researched for free. Make sense? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisau Posted June 20 Author Report Share Posted June 20 Thanks for expanding this. There are some of the nuances that I hadn't thought about as well. It sounds like this would be a bit more complicated/involved mechanic to add to the game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
