A way to make Civilization 4 bts more interesting
Hio :3 !
So this is the mod I have been using to play my Civ 4 for long. I made it to make the games seem huger and always last long so that every era you get to use the units. For instance, when playing normal unmodded civ IV bts you almost always skip the era of matchlocks and cannons. With this mod you get to use every unit of every era for long period of time before it becomes obsolete.
The research has been slowed about 3 times slower making the gameplay longer. (In ancient era it takes 20 turns to research hunting.) I have also increased/decreased some technology costs individually to slow down the game a bit in certain eras. (When entering industrialism research slows down a bit. I think there's also a handicap for players falling behind but I don't remember anymore
)
Production has been altered. Buildings take longer to build whereas units are faster. This is to make the game more massive and AI to work better. (Because of their lousy behaviour without massive unit spam.) (I personally like playing pasifist but it's super hard with emperor difficulty and without being able to vassalate yourself to AI..)
This mod affects games only when played with epic speed. It also ennables you to take up to 40 civilizations in your games. Works in multiplayer and singleplayer
