What do you think about my mod ?

Like you have seen, i'm tempted by your mod but if you give no description of your perhaps nice mod, what you mod is about ?

What are its goals ?

What things are added from vanilla Civ 5 game ?

If you explain all these things, i could be tempted by your mod

Or, in other words.

I think absolutely nothing of your mod, because I know absolutely nothing about it.

Yeah, your description on the mod hub is also incredibly difficult to comprehend.

I hope you get it sorted and best of luck!

1- Im french.
2- You can only put 1024 character in the description.

The shamans are a really good idea. I get so sad when my shaman dies for my city hehe. One of my most favorite things so far though. The only unit i care about early on!

I also like having to build the palace. Many times I have been so upset when i get a map that I cant raze the capital of a neighbor. This mod gives me a nice window to shove off the capitals that are in my comfort area if I hurry to do it. A nice incentive for early warfare.

I must say I edited the mod a bit. I was unsure if the yield balance bonuses would end up being too easy for me. So I went and removed your tile yield options.

I saw that you have a dark ages idea. I think that would be really neat when you get to it.

EDIT: I also have to add... this mod works very well alongside totalmod alpha.. Its a nice combo

My idea was to trigger a Dark Age when golden age hapiness fall below 0.
Giving about -75% science and -75% culture
And removing the production and growth penalty from unhapiness.

I just dont have the Lua skill to do it.

I like the changes in the newest version. The direction you are going is very interesting.
Having no science at the start is kind of cool.. it really makes the game feel prehistoric.

Id like to see some tactical options early on.. like instead of getting 2 cromagnon AND science.. have a choice one or the other.. or maybe a tiny national wonder that spawns a chieftain.. takes longer than the others but creates a great general with combat abilities or something I dunno. Just something to make you chose a path.

You broke my habit of spamming cities just for population science boost at the start. This is making the game alot more interesting for me... I kinda like the idea of no science for population.

Im having alot of fun with this mod, thanks for the effort =)

i will make the chieftain house

Chieftain done !

Like the shaman he come with his building so only 1 per town.
Building cost a litle more than shaman house and give +10xp and 25% unit production bonus.
The chieftain got 9 strength double attack and ignore terrain cost promotion.

I remove the +1 science from the basic hut. I made the elder council that give +1 science.

I'm trying to make the basic hut a prereq for other hut. It should come out on my next update, no more time today.

V1.22 uploaded with new tech: hut building.

There was a bug in V1.16 so i quickly try to patch with 1.17 and 1.18. Sorry if you dl one of these version.

how does the AI handle the science production changes?

I'm losing so much patience with the performance of ciV, and at the same time I'm trying really hard to like it with certain changes to the mechanics of the game. I think making the science not directly based on population is an excellent idea, but as people were saying before, how does the AI cope?

I've only played a few small games so far at King, and it almost looks like some AI do ok (but still lag behind me in tech) while other AI stay at 0% Literacy, which means they have no science at all for the first 100 turns and sometimes until the end of a game...?

Can people share their observations with regard to AI science performance in the long term with this system? How can I help the AI optimize their science without basically cheating?

Hey, a quick q-- how do i get research in the beginning? It appears that I need the elder council to get research, and yet to get that I need research... its a catch 22! what am i supposed to do? Is there even supposed to be any research in the beginning of the game?

I know that AI actually do some research. But i did'nt play any full game yet
It will fix by adding more science flavors:
a bit of sql
UPDATE Leader_Flavors SET Flavor = Flavor+1 Where FlavorType="FLAVOR_SCIENCE";

thx for reporting

coming soon on v1.23 :

build your hut

v1.23 is online it will help AI on science.

Hey a suggestion after figuring it out (thanks!): maybe dont get rid of science from population all together, but just make it 1/3 amount it was before. Cause I played about 200 turns and i was just getting writing in the 150s AD. Is that right?

i already try 0.5 per population but that didn't work at all.

What other mod are u using ?
At what speed are you playing ?

At normal speed it should take around 40 turn to get writing.

I think TechDiffusion Mod is a must.

just urs, a clock and one that helps with UI, as in more info about tiles. But i didnt beeline writing, so... is that it?
and btw, why didnt .5 work? did it crash, or did it just screw things up- ie production- too much?
