No more jungles/tropical forests in Mediterranean world

**Atilla** · August 22, 2008, 10:27 PM

For those of you who find jungles around Jerusalem and Constantinople odd, here's a file that can fix it to what it should really be--semi arid. See below:

SS Original Climate (dark green represents jungle/tropical forest climate)

Modified

To install:

1. make a backup of map_climates.tga located in Stainless_Steel_6/data/world/maps/base folder
2. download the modified climate file http://www.filefront.com/15615907/map_climates.tga and place it in Stainless_Steel_6/data/world/maps/base folder
3. delete map.rwm located in the same folder. (note loading the game may take a bit longer than usual at first since it's creating a new map.rwm file, it should be back to normal after wards)

It should be saved game compatible. Enjoy!

Hm, you know something we don't?

**Barser** · August 23, 2008, 07:47 AM

Yes as far as I know there is no plans of 6.2 yet.

**gracul** · August 23, 2008, 02:37 PM

I thought KK said there will be a 6.2, but hey - how can i know!

**Barser** · August 23, 2008, 02:39 PM

There will be a 7.0 however. It is just a question of when king kong gets back.

actually... looking at the pictures, youve made quite alot of changes along the entire mediterranian coastline...
how does this impact the climate in for example italy and greece?

good observation: the blue in italian and greece peninsula are semi arid, which means you will see palm trees with ground similar to arid/desert. I was kinda thrown back when I was playing on that ground on vanilla SS6 thinking why am i fighting in a frggin desert in italian peninsula? palm trees and arid grounds were totally out of place! Hence the change and the consistency in climate for both peninsulas.

**gracul** · August 27, 2008, 10:45 AM

Yeh pretty much.

how does the change in climate affect food production in those regions?

will some get more / less food than before?

Rozanov:

That's a good question and I would also like to know the details on that. However, in my current campaign with Jerusalem under my control, I didn't notice any decrease in population growth rate; it's still rather a population boom town. Let me know if you notice anything different.

Note the file is save game compatible and you can always revert to the original climate in the same campaign granted you saved the vanilla map_climate.tga.... you just need to delete map.rwm every time you do.

Very nice mate.

**gracul** · September 04, 2008, 04:04 PM

Umm but the climate does nothing except changing the graphics.

I uploaded the file again on filefont. Wanted this modified climate on my new download for RR/RC compilation and found it no longer available. Just contributing to the community.
