#WINNING
Aeon is a full epic mod spanning the tribal man to the present day. I've attempted to create each civilization with their own visual style and somewhat historic accuracy as best I can within my knowledge and time have allowed. If you're familiar with Civ 3, I think everything in game should generally make sense and the Civilopedia is updated as reference. I've tried to expand the game while at the same time removing some micromanagement where possible.
IMPORTANT: The game is designed around a no science game which allows all civs to progress at the same pace and have a more realistic feel and time line. To do this it is intended and necessary that you keep your science slider at the maximum amount of 50% at all times - moving it is cheating. Additionally there is a bug which will reset your tax slider to 50% after each turn if you move it - so even if you do move it, it resets back to where it should be. It should remain at 50% for the entire game (you may even forget it's there after a while, I have). The luxury slider you may still adjust.
Short list of changes you should know about when playing:
- Civs start with 2 settlers and workers.
- Cities never flip sides for any reason.
- Rioting that happens when a city is taken over initially is quelled in 1 turn by a single military unit.
- Resources used for units in one era are no longer needed for units of the next era.
- Diplomatic victory disabled. Cultural victory mostly untested.
- Nearly all land units have 2 movement. For this reason, units cannot withdraw from combat when losing.
- Resources are marked by a shield for strategic and a smiley for luxury. Also there are blips/bars showing the food/production/commerce values.
- For the first 2 eras each civ has a single choice per era for government other than the default type.
- Each civ has the religious trait for 2-turn anarchy.
- It costs 10 shields to make 1 gold when building wealth prior to the economics tech.
- It's easier to clear marshes and jungles.
- Rather than "stealth," a generic term, "avoidance," is used to describe bomber who have a lower chance of being intercepted through having stealth/escorts/night bombing etc.
- Air units have a 90% chance to attempt an interception on bombers, and 50% versus bombers with avoidance.
- Armies are limited to 1 per 10 cities.
- Mountains cannot have roads.
- Techs cannot be traded
- Coastal tiles produce a shield, reflecting the power of coastal cities.
- Culmination (of Civilization) Victory is similar to Space Race in that you build 10 parts, but instead of 1 building (Apollo) allowing everything, each part requres control of a wonder. As of now it's a human-only victory.
- Defensive bonuses have been drastically reduced. Here's the breakdown:
Unit Fortified 15%
Defending beyond River 5%
Barricade/Fortress 15%
Town 15%
City 30%
Metro 35%
Walls 15%
Castle 10%
Civil Defense 5%
Defending beyond River 5%
Barricade/Fortress 15%
Town 15%
City 30%
Metro 35%
Walls 15%

Civil Defense 5%
Known Issues:
Korea is considered one nation; Kim Yong-il is the leader, the South Korean flag is used, and units from both sides are available to them (USSR+American MiG Jets and Huey Helicopters)
