Cheezy the Wiz
Socialist In A Hurry
Hello, all! I've been working on Version 2.0 of my mod "Insert Epic Mod Name Here (INEMONH" on and off for more than a year, whenever I have time, or the muse of modding sees fit to pay me a visit. After hammering out a bunch of improvements and wonders over the weekend, I decided I had sufficient progress to share with you all!
First, 2.0 will feature a whole new terrain set: Womoks Terrain Greener. As there are no volcanoes in his terrain, the old Sn00pys ones remain, so it looks a bit silly, but whatever, its the best that can be done. I've also made the old Marsh tiles I was using for Ideal City Locations (a concept you're familiar with if you've played the first version of INEMONH) clear, and are now only distinguishable from normal Grassland tiles by the small village icon that appears as the bonus resource "Ideal City Location." This makes the map look much prettier.
I have added a host of new resources as well, including Copper, Hemp, Nickel, Silicon, Silver, Tin, as well as a new tier of food-producing Bonus Resources, which come about with the discovery of Medicine, and grant much larger food amounts (most are around +10 food).
By far the greatest expansion in INEMONH 2.0 is units. There are several new types of unit being revealed in the new version, but more importantly, there are now a myriad of flavor units, with nearly every unit having an average of 10 flavor units for it, often more, but sometimes less. This brings the new unit total to more than 400 units. It will increase the size of the download substantially, which worries me, but I feel the quality of the mod would suffer if it were not so.
There will be two new governments: Parliamentary Democracy, which will function as a parallel to Federal Republic, with a slightly different set of buildings available, and Socialism, which will feature many new buildings from what I consider to be an under-represented category; many buildings under Socialism will have prerequisites from Federal Republic, and all buildings under Communism will have prerequisites in Socialism, to better illustrate the economic trend that Marxist thought dictates.
Improvements have been less well-developed, and I will be lifting largely from the Double Your Pleasure mod that I love so much. I'm really standing on the shoulders of giants with this, and I really like the way they developed a lot of concepts, so I have chosen to honor their legacy by including them in my mod.
I have not decided on shield cost or maintenance cost for any of these, but the $ indicates that I expect to make them very expensive, even considering the increasingly progressive costs of improvements and wonders as the game progresses.
These were the new improvements and wonders I came up with the other day. This is not a list of all new wonders and improvements to the mod.
I will update this thread as new developments occur. You can now find a link to this thread in my signature.
