If we made trainer ONLY for vanilla civ, we would have a revolt for the same reason, as people would complain they own all this other content (the true fans of the game, not the freebie seekers) that the trainer doesn't work for. We support the latest, most feature packed iteration of the game. To try and accomodate EVERY POSSIBLE ITERATION of this game series, we would have to make 4 separate trainers AND updates for each patch, to which there has been MANY patches. dll's for each 'release' or expansion of this game. The point of us making ONE trainer is that the developers of this game took a stupid approach of making a zillion different. They also costed extra if you owned the base game on STEAM. that have come out since then which make the game actually enjoyable and complete cost extra. All of the 1000 DLC, expansion, packs, etc. They are giving you the base, vanilla civ for free.

Of all the free games ive gotten on Epic this has been the only game ive actually played cuz epic sucks, so that's a bit disappointing. I bought it on Steam on/near release and refunded it cuz I didn't like the changes compared to Civ V. Whole point of getting it for free was so I didn't have to pay for it on Steam lmao I don't know the logic behind it, and the README is silent on it. You can limit how many turns into the future the settings will persist, but it's somewhat hit and miss. This is where playing with the numerical values comes in. You can disable the trainer entirely and quit the game, and the last settings you set will still persist. I learned that tweaking the optional numbers allows you some control over how many turns the effect will last, but it's hit and miss.Īnd, again, it only grants the cheats to the enemy, so it's kinda pointless.ĭo you disable the options before you end your turn? it shouldn't register for the AI then.ĭisabling and re-enabling really don't do anything.

At first, I just wanted a few turns of benefit, but then saw they all stuck on '1 turn' even when the trainer was off, the game restarted, and even the PC rebooted. Any cheat just allows the enemies to have the same advantage, so the game just runs faster, but without any benefit of the 'cheat.' You still get beat, just faster.Īlso, the stickiness of the settings for Civics and Research is a problem. So I thought the trainer could balance it out, to give me an advantage in the beginning at least. I'm a new player, so the default game was just too hard at the standard difficulty - no matter what, the AI nations were always attacking with modern weapons while I was still with pikes, etc. As others have said, the cheats work for both AI and the human user, so it sort of defeats the purpose. So I've really tried tweaking this Trainer, but I'm missing something.
