Edward's Economy Revision

[EdwardB]

I have been hoping to make a mod for Civ V since last summer, but the project got stuck in a drawer for over half a year. However, I finally managed to finish something that I dare to publish and here it is.

Edward's Economy Revision

Edward's Economy Revision is a mod that seeks to give the player more financial options as well as add buildings and game mechanics that help the player make more out of the resources they have in their hands.

As this is my first mod and I'm just learning how to modify stuff, the things I mod will be quite simple for starters, but hopefully in the future I'll learn how to mod in those more interesting things I've got planned

Availability

Currently available in the in-game Mod Browser under the name "Edwards Economy Revision"
Hopefully soon available also as a download from the CivFanatics File Database.

Known bugs/issues

• As the mod currently centres on giving you new sources of Gold, you will most likely end up with piles of additional currency. I will possibly try and fix this later on. Suggestions on the matter would be appreciated
  EDIT: All right, played a full game and managed to have an income of some 300+ Gold, definitely needs to be fixed somehow.
• Both Market and Tailor give +1 Gold from Sheep. Will be removed from Market for the next version.
• Constructing Wall Street will cause the city model to disappear.

Combatibility

EER is currently a pure XML mod, so it should not conflict with any other mod. However, if both mods modify same buildings results could be interesting.

Special thanks

Derek "Kael" Paxton - for the Fall from Heaven II -mod that made me want to mod Civilization and for the Civ V Modder's Guide, that allowed me to do so
Valkrionn - for the Economy mod, that has partially served as an inspiration for this mod
as well as any other modders whose works here in CivFanatics have inspired mechanics in this mod. Informe me if it seems I've used your ideas, and I'll list you


All feedback, constructive criticism and bug reports greatly appreciated. Hope you enjoy the mod

Will you be updating this for the G&K expansion?

Also, you should put this on the Steam Workshop for Civ5.

Well, I went and made an update to this mod for G&K.
[URL REMOVED]
Since I don't know how to properly package and create regular mod files, and I didn't want to put this up on the workshop since I didn't create it, people will have to install it manually.
To install, place it in your \My Documents\My Games\Sid Meyer's Civilization 5\MODS\ folder and extract it there. It should then show up in your mods selection ingame.


UPDATE:
I've uploaded a fixed version to the Steam Workshop that's notably more stable than that one.
