Really Advanced Setup Lite

Really Advanced Setup Lite

True Advanced Setup Lite

(Inspired by General Tso's Civ5 True Advanced Settings)

Allows specifying additional starting units, citizens, technologies and certain "benefits".

Allows specifying whether add-ons are given to AI players or only human players

Allows specifying whether "append" should only be given to "CIVILIZATION_ROME".

Allows specifying the starting era of the selected game to which the effect will be applied.

So if you want to change the game so that if the game starts in the Medieval Era and Roma gets two extra starting scouts, you can do that.

Specification is done in xml files rather than directly through the new "Advanced Launch" user interface.

Detailed instructions will be given in the main discussion thread

Just download from here since I can't update the CFC resources to the latest version: Dropbox ReallyAdvancedSetupLite.zip

Mac users

Some users reported that they were unable to use the mod on Mac. Others have been able. I don't have a Mac and know nothing about Macs so I can't test the mod on a Mac

The lua methods used are the ones exposed and used in Windows, as they are already set up to work through the windows game-dll-file. But the Dll file is Windows only and there is no such thing on Mac, so I don't know if the same method and functionality will work with lua on Mac.

You may also have a file editing "permissions" issue as I seem to remember this being an issue in Civ5 for people using Macs. At this point I'm probably full of talk bananas because as mentioned I don't know anything about Macs.

Really Advanced Setup Lite

(inspired by General Tso's Civ5 Really Advanced Set-up)

Allows specification of extra starting units, civics, techs, and certain of the 'yields'.

Allows specification as to whether the extras are given to AI players or only to human players

Allows specification as to whether the extras should be given only to "CIVILIZATION_ROME" for example.

Allows specification as to what selected game starting era to apply the effects to.

so if you want to alter the game so that Rome would get two extra starting scouts if the game is started in the Medieval Era, you can do so.

Specifications are made in an xml file rather than directly through a new "Advanced Start" user interface.

The lua methods being used are those that are exposed and usable in Windows because they have been set up to work by the windows game-dll-file. But Dll files are Windows-only, and there is no such thing on a Mac, so I have no idea whether the same methods and functions work in lua on a Mac.

You may also be experiencing file edit "permissions" issues as I seem to remember this being an issue in Civ5 for people with Macs. On this point I could be full of talking bananas because as mentioned I know nothing about Macs.
