Hi all,

This is a feature that I missed a lot in Thal's CEP and with the help of Barra, it's now compatible with CPP. Some core files are extracted from CEP and after some playtest it is good to go.

Flag Promotion allows you to see all units promotions, recognize immediately where's your most precise unit and most importantly, know how advanced your enemies' units are.

Instruction to use Thal's Flagpromotion (v1.66) - Barra made it happened!
  1. Go here to download Thal's Flagpromotion (v1.66)

  2. Go to Sid Meier's Civilization 5\MODS\ and extract it there.



All credit goes to Barra and his thread is here.
And salute to Thal for this wonderful mod.
 
Hi all,

Flag Promotion allows you to see all units promotions, recognize immediately where's your most precise unit and most importantly, know how advanced your enemies' units are.

Instruction to use Thal's Flagpromotion
  1. Click here to download "Thals FlagPromotions-only (v1).rar"

  2. Go to Sid Meier's Civilization 5\MODS\ and extract it there.

  3. Enable Communitas Interface (v 3) and Communitas AI and Tools (v 3) in the mod menu.

  4. Report back any bugs you encounter!

Compatibility
TBD. So far all the popular mods compatibile with CPP work very well.
Usage with EUI is still a little buggy. But it won't hurt to give it a try!:)


Bugs/Problems
  1. Promotion Icons
    Some promotion icons are missing. I need to relink the icons.

  2. Scout
    for some reason it loses the ignore terrain cost promotion. Explorer's got it though.
  3. SQL is not neat enough
    The Thal's SQL file seem to alter the promotion tree which may lead to many other bugs.


All credit goes to Barra.
And salute to Thal for this wonderful mod.

Thank you WileyNG

I have opened an own modmod thread here : http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?p=13828266#post13828266

Scouts have Ignore_Terrain_Cost Promotion now
stacking of promotions is working properly now too, at least for them who have numeric addons i.e. Drill_1, Drill_2

Maybe Gazebo could help me with the last steps, if he has too much spare time :p
 
Hi Barra and WileyNg!

I added this mod to the list of mods compatible with CBP:
http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=542679

If you want me to update the description, just let me know.

I understand it still has some quirks, but once these are ironed out, I think this should either become the integral part of CP or should be featured as a recommended modmod in the CBP install page.

Thank you for saving this gem created by Thal!
 
Using this with Gazebo's mods and apparently scouts are not being spawned with the ignores terrain cost promotion.

Pls. tell me whats the problem with EUI, I dont´t know what exactly you are referring to?!
Maybe I could check and fix it ;)
 
Hi Barra!

Played a little over the weekend. The FlagPromotions work great, thank you so much. I noticed a little bug. I had 2 Triremes, both had the same 2 promotins:

1) morale (the promotion from National Epic NW), which was displayed as a little triangle correctly
2) the promotion which increases the naval melee attack (not city attack). Sorry, I am typing from my cell phone, so I do not know how it is called. It was displayed as a triangle above one of the triremes, and as a naval ranged promotion above the other one. The description in tooltips was correct though. I think this is because CEP used same icon for both naval ranged and melee promotion, while CBP uses the default vanilla naval promotion icon (the hooks with stars).

Yes, Im already sorting and adding new 16/ppi icons needed for the tiny promo-icons above the unitflags.
I hope to get a out an update tonight
It will tidy up the screen, no worries ;)
