I love this Mod and I made an account just to post my feedbacks. I feel this mod is the Civilization that we deserved 5 years ago whch we never got
Alright let start:
Bugs/Imbalance
***T
o much Cash Overflow: so early in the game I was able to start making 120+ gold per turn on Difficulty 7 primarily due to trade routes. Some Ai were making like 500+ gold per turn an even had like 23000 gold saved lol. I'm not sure if this a bug or a corruption
-----Solution :reduce the amount of trade routes allowed and the revenue you gained from it.
***S
tatistic or Military Strength Bugged: The Ai keep telling me that My "army is pretty weak and that I Should watch my back" Yet I obviously have bunch of units lying around. Well they declared war on me and I kept killing their units but still the demographics is still showing that I'm pretty weak.This misinformation is bad for the Ai and make my diplomacy with the pretty annoying.
**
Naval Ranged Units Overpowered: primarily due to---giving them 3 range as early as Renaissance era and the introduction of Collateral Damage. Solution
-----
/Give them range 3 till Modern Era or make it available only through upgrades( i mean xp)
/ Reduce collateral Damage upgrades from 25% to 15% So that at max 3 upgrades a unit can only have 45% collateral damage
/Finally Make it that Ranged strength power is always less than the Melee strength power of melee units: For-example: Reconnaissance Era The Frigate(40 ranged Strength) vs Privateer (40 melee Strength)---reduce Frigate Ranged Strength to (36) just 4 point less . This should be Appliec to all ranged unit IN ORDER to keep with the Rock Paper Scissors style of combat. I know all ranged units have lot less combat strength...but it is still not enough--their ranged strength should not be equal or greater to the melee strength of their counterparts
**
Ranged Counter-Attacks: needs to be limited to only one. That means when a ranged units attack another ranged: the target will only counter attack once...then after that if another ranged unit attack that same ranged target it should counterattack again lol This so important especially for naval balancing
***
Saved game crashing: I known this is still an ongoing process to fix this issue: But I notice that when I save a game and I custom name the saved file to let say" War" instead of the ordinary Bismark_0126 AD-0275; It always or most likely crash when I try load it....
Suggestion/Improvement
***
City Range reduce from 4 to 3 tiles: i know the premise of this mod is to have big city but its not working out duee to how civ5 map are designed generaly. And when u are playing in difficulty 8 where the Ai is given 4 settler at the sart of the game The can even find space to make like there 4 fourth city ---I even bodyblock them by placing on my units in there intended settling location lol and they just stand there with settler wathcing lol...So I had to go in the files and reduce the range from 4 to 3 kudos for me learning a bit of coding lol
***
Alliance& Confederanceie: Make Alliance or Confederation( new feature I suppose) available as early as Medieval Era. We know no matter what we do to make the Ai better and smarter it still gonna be lacking. But Confederacy is the cure here!!! let say a maximum of 4 civ who have a an agreement: An attack on one is an ONE is an attack on ALL 4. That will make the game more fun and challenging...A lot of time the Ai start war with one another while I one of their ngibrh is the real enemy. I just wait a few turns for them to wear each other out and bamm killed two stones with one bear lol
(that was backward lol)
***Make the mod compatible with the Ci4 diplomacy mod: being able to vassalage and some other tweak just greatly improve diplomacy overall
**40 Civ Map compatibility
: I feel playing with like 10 or 12 civ you dont really get a feel like of what a True civivilzation game is about ...the maximum civ u can play gain is 22 and I still feel that is not enough u need like at least 40 lolllll
<<And that about it for now...The mod is great just need a few tweaking and balance ajustment. Good Job to you Lincoln_lyf. Please take my suggestion into heart you can do give us the civilization that we deserved but never got lol>>
