Very good ones, in my opinion. Specially because I saw that you were very cautious with the boni. I think the way you designed, they won't unbalance the game.

That's one nice list, much better than what I could have ever made

Will buildings have some penalties when you are not in the "right" civic?

I think that the idea is that if you change to another civic then the buildings for the previous civic will disappear.

Update which is worth part a post: Added Warlord's Tower idea for Vassalage civic. I forgot about that civic when outlining this mod. Estate for Feudal now since I confused Estate and Manor buildings or was going off of 2.6 when first designing this mod.

Thanks, the difficulty for me is going to balancing building costs. It should not be too hard since Zappara added enough buildings in the basic game to compare costs with.

I don't know. It will be the same mechanic if you change from Slavery to something else and have Slave Markets before researching Labor Unions. If it turns out there are no penalties it is going to make the Spiritual trait first class and may overpower Christo Redenator. I'll find out in testing or with releasing a beta when the time comes.

Nice list, you´ve got really good ideas

However, I dont think the Town Hall (Federal) should get obsolete with fiber optics, and I think the Dissident Press (Liberal) should give +1 happiness per 10% culture rate, instead of +1 per 20% culture rate

The preliminary work for this looks excellant. If all goes well, I may have to add unique buildings for my custom civics just to keep up. If you need any help with the xml, just ask. Best of luck.

Thanks. I changed Dissident Press, I was worried about overpowering it. I am keeping the obsolescence with Town Hall for historical reasons (representing the e-mail and website updates replacing letter writing and participating in town hall meetings), but will move to obsolescence tech back as far as I can looking at the tech tree, however, I am doubling the maintenance reduction to make it playable.

Reason: Update not worth its own post

But if you don't post, the thread isn't bumped and doesn't turn bold. I hardly ever check old threads.

I think Art Patronage building is better fit for Nobility civic. It makes me thing of the Barroque age and how keeping artists was a sign of prestige among the nobility whilst the bourgeoisie class makes me think of a more profit oriented class with a building that would boost gold income, reduce corporation payments and/or add trade routes or increase their income.
Maybe you could add happiness bonuses/penalties for buildings depending of the civics of other branches (Dictator/Royal monument could bring happiness with Junta/Nobility civics and unhappiness with Proletariat or Liberal for example).

Great ideas, I will definitely download when you get it finished. Are you going to make it that that if you make one of those buildings, change civics and then later in the game change back to the old civic are you automatically going to have the building?

I will keep that in mind, it was just that most of those updates involved minor tweaks when I was adding the building cost. Also

The Art Patronage is representative of Renaissance Italy, but could also be representative of Barroque since Bourgeois covers many styles of Societies. Also, Nobility already has a civic building in regular RoM, it is the Manor.

I like that idea, since it will allow Taliban and Myanmar style governments to be viable (for medium empires seeking localized conquest), while allowing democratic governments to receive high approval ratings and stability; same principle applies with Health bonuses (Welfare Office-Marxist creating healthiness, while Highway Project-Liberal creates unhealthiness (represents increased driving causing pollution and accidents)) since I already have to overwrite some of the Rise of Mankind game files for the Pedia entries to work. I will post an update when that is completed, it will take a while though, since I am still trying to get the civic dependencies to work and am working on some modular leaderheads (with an issue trying to get custom diplomacy music to work without having to overwrite any files).

Update:
Turns out, adding the Happiness/Health bonuses was easy with an XML Editor, since that file is a mess if done by hand. Here is what is done, organized by civic.

Monarchy (-1 Dissident Press)

why does the athiest civic have a church? it should have something to do with a natural history museum.

The Atheist civic represents governments actively dismantling churches, which is generally an aspect of Totalitarian and Authoritarian regimes (Examples of Atheist in history: Ataturk, the big three (Stalin, Hitler, Mao)). Here is the Pedia text the Church of the State.

These indoctrination centers replace churches, where citizens are taught the philosophy of the state and to praise national figures instead of religion and saints. This ultimately results in citizens becoming compliant not questioning their government, resulting in the leadership doing pretty much whatever they want, regardless of benefit to the nation or its people.

Click to expand...

The Atheism present in the US and Europe is part of the Secular civic, which tolerates different beliefs and non-beliefs, and in theory, practices the separation of church and state. I hope that answers your concern.

Hurrah! This is a great modmod. Maybe one day it will be in RoM by default.

Thank you. It just might have to be include by default due to the need to overwrite a few files. We'll see what Zappara thinks, I do not want to put extra work onto him, since that is that many more buildings to go over during an update and having to balance the additional bonuses.
