Mercenaries

[RoxyRiku94]

A quick question regarding Trait Coding with Lua based on the number of Mercenary Contracts:

Is it possible to check the numbers of currently taken Contracts from any major civilization in the game, regardless if I met them or not? And generate Gold and Culture for each contract based on the current era you are as a result? Because I'm currently planning a DBZ civilization which would heavily focus on acquired mercenaries, and the trait I'm considering will be:

Bojack may not settle new cities, but may peacefully acquire any city-states which you could demand tribute from. Mercenary Contracts taken by any civilization provide Gold and Culture per turn (dependent on your current era). Mercenary Contracts are 25% cheaper in maintenance and last 25% longer.

By the way, I'd also like to help translating your Gameplay Mods in German.

EDIT: As the Thread here is now obsolete, this post has been moved to RTP.

JFD You are awesome dude these mods are legit. I think the only thing were missing now is a unit expansion. Their are so many units that can and need to be added to support the base game especially from the industrial on. I have tried to use a large amount of other individuals unit mods however they do not work well with your mods. So it is up too you good sir. Any plans of this in the future >?

I've been using this mod for a while, and for some reason, every time I load up a game beyond a certain point (not sure where), the Contracts Overview shows up very broken with no information and impossible to close. I literally can't do anything once this happens, and it's ruined quite a few games for me. Here are the mods I'm running (all up to date):

Cities in development
Cultural Diversity
Exploration Continued Expanded
Rise to Power
Community Patch
Community Balance Patch (and all its subsequent mods)
Some promotions mods
Leugi's Barbarian Enhancements
Future Worlds
Map Labels
No More Tech Tree Beelining

Post your question here. This mod component is now obsolete and was absorbed by the linked pack.

Was it? I was under the impression that the independent component would continue to be supported by Pouakai.

Will do, thank you.

If so, I wasn't aware. I might be wrong, then.
Let's invoke the spirits of the Authors of Mod Components passed.

 

[JFD]

Pouakai is a nominal co-author - he contributed in the early design process, but didn't code it, so couldn't maintain it. The component is not obsolete, but you're more likely to get my attention on Rise to Power, and I'll retroactively add any changes/fixes from RtP:Mercenaries to Mercenaries here, provided it doesn't require DLL.

when i load this with cultural diversity, and no other changes, i have no tech tree? not sure if this is randomly conflicting with other mods but only those two wipe my tech tree
