Okay I made a mod that removes the score from civilization. This is only really beneficial in multiplayer games. It seems that civilization has become a game of who can analyze the score and react to it the best to determine who can win. This is not how the game was meant to be played.
I have played in a lot of games, and in one I was attacked simply because through the scores it was determined that I traded a few techs to this other teams enemy team. Things like this happen often, people determine who they can attack early because they built a wonder or discovered a religion, or both.
The uncertainty is gone. I can know how large your army is, how many wonders you have, etc. In the beginning I can know this without even meeting you.
The unfortunate side effect is that espionage has a lesser impact as you can see another players score in any area.
Anyway my real problem is that when I try to run this in PTBS the only way it works is without an admin password, and that is something I cannot let go by. With an admin password everyone gets the error "The save file you have selected is protected to ensure that the assets in your mod folder have not changed." And then the load fails. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
The mod works otherwise, singeplayer, PTBS without an admin password, and even with civstats, though without a score it shows everyone as eliminated but the turn counter and diplomacy still work.
