The idea of this mod is my attempt to balance the game while making as little changes as possible. It is a work in progress and will progress as i experiment with changes in game.
Changes so far:
Early game happiness and gold boost: Palace has +2 Global happiness and +1 Gold
Monument Maintenance: Maintenance has been removed from the monument
National Wonders: National wonders no longer require a copy in every building - Cost still increases with amount of cities in the empire
Science Changes: Scientist Specialists now produce +2 science (down from 3). National College is now +25% science (down from +50% science). A +25% science has been added to oxford university.
Combat Changes: Cities 10% weaker. Ranged units deal -15% damage to wounded units
Policy Changes:
Honor: Military Caste removes happiness and culture from garrisons and adds them instead to walls (+1 happiness, +2 culture) and makes them 50% quicker to build.
Professional army also removes maintenance from first three military units
Rationalism: Secularism adds +1 Science per specialist (down from +2). Free thought adds +15% science from universities (Down from +25%)
Piety: Organised religion adds +1 culture to shrines. Religious Tolerance adds +3 Happiness to grand temple
Ive been making lots of adjustments as i go along and test and find changes I've made are overpowered/make no difference. I'm also interested in hearing what some more experienced players think and am definitely up for some constructive criticism. Tell me what you think.
