damn

Hello friends,
Sman is taking a break, but we have done a tremendous amount of work for WAW V7 that will end up being published here!
Lots of new things including new units will be added!
Thanks for your patience!

@Barticus check out this thread
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/app/8930/discussions/1/594017161232557347/

Barticus I was running into this to try validating the files if that does not work I had o reinstall it onto my C drive to get it to load so if you have two drives install it onto the the drive with windows thats what worked for me.

i have just this mod selected and downloaded. But it does not show up in my mods when in game. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!!

I'd have to look into how that's done. Here's the link I use to do something similar:

Hey, S-MAN! Can you upload a collection of mods, that you would call "Definitive" Experience, as it is?

Good news, everyone! The new hotfix (6.4) is uploaded!

There have been so many changes, I couldn't post them in the "Change Notes" on Steam.

So, please go to Civfanatics to review all the changes in this version!

Now, work on V7 begins in earnest.....

Found a huge bug in the new version - Supercarriers only cost 100 hammers (instead of 1000)!

I'll keep testing it, but this needs to be fixed. So, in the next week or so I'll put out a quick hotfix on this.

Sorry about that!

On that channel, I'm not 100% certain how it works, but I may have to "invite" you.

So, if you send me your Discord name, I can do that.

Sorry, I'm still learning how much of this stuff works!

Thanks, @abcsam! Not a hero, just share your passion for this game. Doing my own little part to make it a bit better.

Alex, I'm expanding WAW all the time. You probably noticed V6.3 has a LOT of changes, additions. Currently working on V7 which will also add a lot of things to the mod.

We're currently discussing these changes on the Discord channel. You can always join us and help make WAW even better.

S-man, is there any possibility that you will do an "Extended cut" of both versions?

Dude i cant wait for all this so happy you are back and working on this. A true hero!

Thanks!

Yes, AWAW needs some attention. However, after V7 is done, I'm going to work quickly on the WAW companion mods - to make sure they're all compatible.

After that I'll start work on AWAW - but mostly fixes. I don't think much new content is going into it.

After the AWAW update, I'm planning on a "combined" mod that joins both AWAW + WAW (although about half of each will be cut). Except for the Future War Era in WAW. It will go in uncut.

really enjoying this series of mods so far; it's just what i needed to stop myself from constantly going back to voxpop lol. i was wondering, do you plan on returning to awaw after you finish with v7?

V7 will address this in several ways - using some of the "slow down" settings from mods like "Ultra-Slow Research."

Additionally, there will be a massive building nerf - so that yields aren't so generous - especially in the Science yield.

I'll have to play-test the cr@p out of it to get the settings right, but I can promise you this - in V7, there won't be any 3-4 turns to discover late game techs - even on Quick speed/Easy handicap!

Thanks @kensw for referencing those mods - they generally work well, and usually only fail when combined with other mods that defeat their designs.

I used the BaseBeakersTurnsToCount field in this mod, reducing it from 8 to 7. Slows down just a little. Setting to 3 makes GS almost worthless until late game.

On the other mod, you have to be very careful about these settings. If you set the costs of tech discovery too high, you can have an "integer overflow" of the actual cost value (which is determined at game start/load, based on game speed, difficulty, etc.).

When this happens the late, expensive techs will have a value equal to -1, which the Civ5 game engine interprets as "1."

So, it costs 1 Science to discover the most complicated techs in the game.

Mods that slow research ( but nothing else ) several versions available.

I welcome the change some times by the time i get lasers units by the time ive got them built i am like 1 or 2 turns away from railguns

Ah, yes! I would love if you do a submod that extends research time. 3-4 turns with mod on 150% tech points to research multipier is kinda funny...

What @kensw says is correct - most of the changes are impacting later in the game. Most of the last 2 updates to WAW were trying to make end-game more interesting.

V7 will also help with that - the coming nerf should make the last Era last longer. In most of my games, Future War techs take 2-3 turns to discover - on Marathon!

So the next version will lower yield bonuses of buildings, especially in the Science area.

It seems like most of the changes in the Mar 6 update are in the later eras. Personally I never play past end of WW2. ( I just find it the most fun ) I have a game in progress so will probably not update for awhile.

Glad to hear about the update, looking forward to V7

Amazing!!

Now, work begins on V7 of WAW!

This version hopes to improve the artwork in the mod, provide much better late-game balance (translation: a nerf from he!! is coming), and add a few nice features like improved AI enemy play, automated city management, and more.

Thanks!

Ok added you steam just didnt want to post here.

You may have to get some kind of admin approval. If you send me your discord account name I can forward it to the Admin to see if that works.

I cant seem to connect to that discord.

Hey all. I'm in the process of updating this mod!

Not sure if there will be a quick Hotfix and then V7, or if all the changes will go into V7.

Lots of really good things coming!

If you want to make suggestions on what to include, now is the time to join the conversation:

https://discord.com/channels/361641784696373248/783755251088883722

AMAZING thank you so much i love this mod.

Thanks! Am working on V7 for this mod. Lots of fixes, and I'm hoping some improved artwork.

If anyone has any suggestions for the next version, let me know!

Good luck!

@S-Man. YOOOOOOO!!! DUDE, THIS IS SOME GREAT NEWS!

Hey everyone. I'm coming back to Civ5 to work on some of my mods. Apologize for the absence, it was unavoidable.

I'll take a look at the posts here and make some notes on what this mods needs to fix.

Hope to have an update before too long. Appreciate your patience!!!

Im very terribly sorry, but it seems like your mods kills the ui. How do I fix this?

So i figured out my issue I had to click the check box for scenarios mods then i checked it once and set up a game now it just shows up with all the rest of the mods on the original mod screen.

You have to arrange the exonas, 2 soldiers are coming in the same exona and making the game very difficult because enemies already start with 10 soldiers and in the 5th round they are already declaring war

Anyone have an issue with the mod not showing up on the mods list? I am subed and have used it in the past just got a new laptop got all my other mods working but this one wont show up on the mods screen.

@Winbean Did you ever get the issue resolved, because I am experiencing the same thing?

Hello guys, Sman is currently absent, but I have no doubt he will return!
We had many ideas an enhancement pending for WAW, and I am sure we will manage to implement them!
Let's hope our friend Sman comes back soon!
In the meantime enjoy the mod and feel free to post suggestions here!

hey @tech Priest did you ever figure out what the problem with the tech trees were, ive had similiar issues, but i think i narrowed the issue down to the end in the cold war submod

Apologies for the lack of updates, but it seems the mod author may be not currently around.

But, I'll continue holding on to the current position as long as it takes.

Hi, does this mod collection support multiplayer?

I love this mod since years ago. Will play test w community patch only.

This mod is definitely not compatible with vox populi. The game will load up with it, but the units a lot of the units are bugged not showing their attack strength. And their movement is wrong. Cyber sub for example doesn't show it's stats and only moves 3 tiles vs 7 I think is what it's supposed to.

Is this mod compatible with diplomatic featuers mod? I was playing this and I got a CTD.

Say I wanted to edit a units movement range like the black ops soldier how would I go about that?

This MOD is the best one I have ever used for CIV 5. i have not had any issues with it.
