MODS compatible with Vox Populi (VP)

Hi,

Been wanting to include support for CBP for quite some time now, but since I don't play with it myself (I'm only using the CP) - I have now idea where to start. The obvious thing would of course be to just try out the CBP I guess, and I intend to do that as well, but I would really appreciate a manual/changelog of some kind giving the overview of what is changed balance-wise, etc...

Can someone help me with this? Thanks in advance.
 
An exhaustive change list can be found here.
 
Thanks - just what I was looking for :).

At the moment that mod [Barbarians Evolved] crashes the game with used with CBP anyway (it may actually be CSD or C4F that causes it, not sure).

When it was working, the only thing you couldn't do with CBP is liberate spawned barbarian cities. The exact changes are on the mod's page under "Compromises for Compatability".

It's a great mod, so I'd keep an eye out for that update which will presumable restore compatibility with CBP.

Barbarians Evolved has updated, and is no longer incompatible with CBP, provided you set its options properly. There's plenty of instructions on the mod's page itself, but in general, make sure you're using the CBP compatible settings and the barbarian major Civ.

Hi people!

A simple question..can modded civs be added or does it crash the game?

Thank you!!!

The answer isn't so simple. :(

For the most part, modded civs are fine when it comes to not crashing the game. Sometimes you will see a civ that does crazy LUA stuff that's hard to make compatible (ask Vice Virtuoso about all the crap he does to maintain compatibility) but in general, you can add random mod civs and not expect them to CTD.

HOWEVER, many mod civs will have issues. First, most mod civs are balanced assuming they will play against vanilla civs. CBP civs have all been buffed, meaning mod civs will generally be UP. Second, many mod civs were/are written in puny outdated XML code rather than modern awesome 1337 SQL code. The difference? Here's an example:

A mod civ has a UU that comes with the range promotion (giving it +1 range) but is otherwise the same as the unit it replaces.
In XML, this unit is created by manually assigning it all the same stats as the unit it replaces, except adding in the promotion on top.
In SQL, this unit is created by copying all the stats from the unit it replaces, except adding in the promotion on top.
This means that if CBP changed that unit, the SQL version will copy the CBP stats if you're running CBP. But the XML version will still have the [unmodded] stats assigned to it, so it may be wildly UP or OP.

So you may need to edit the mod civs a bit if you want them to work *well* with CBP. I personally converted several mod civs to SQL just to use them with CBP. :crazyeye:

I'll see if I can post them in the "How do YOU Customize CBP" thread.

Edit: I actually tried to post the mod but the filesize is much too large. Any suggestions?
 
Whoward's UI - City Expansion not compatible with EUI version, but with Non-EUI it works just fine.

If playing this mod with EUI version, it doesn't allow you to produce anything in your city.
 
"City Limits - Shows workable tiles around cities, overlapping cities, etc. - Not exactly this mod, but the same functionality is already included in CBP"

Should this line be moved to "Incorporated into CBP"?
 
EUI does the same thing already.
 
Hello, I'm having a problem where, even though all of the mods stated as incompatible were disabled, my game immediately closes itself moments after I finish setting up a game. Any ideas? Also, I want to give you a list of my mods, but is there any way to copy the titles of all my activated mods? I also don't know how to determine if these mods edit dll or not. Any reply is greatly appreciated. I'm starting to lose my mind with this! :wallbash:
