Rule Them All
A better game for humans and machines.
This mod brings additions and rule changes that try to present more interesting choices and challenges to the player. Every change is made with an eye for AI behaviour and how it will be affected. Most of the changes made are quite subtle and are meant to retain the flavour and design of the original game.
This mod includes (and is based upon) AI Equalizer.
Highlights: No crazy AI bonuses. 6 new buildings. 5 new Techs. Improved happiness system. Improved buildings and bonus resources. AI tweaks.
Important: Luxuries now give 3
and every time you adopt a social policy you receive 2 . Due to the AI losing some crazy bonuses, it's recommended you increase the difficulty level a notch or two.
Current version: V.3
(compatible with patch 1.0.1.217)
Important Changes
Handicaps: The AI no longer receives bonus happiness, starting techs or starting units. It still builds things faster. This is the major change upon which the mod is based. No longer do you overcome the ais head start and begin a snowball of domination. The AIs bonuses are the same from turn 1. You will probably find winning easier, so its recommended going up a notch or 2 in difficulty.
Happiness: Luxuries now give +3 happiness and every time you adopt a social policy you receive +2 happiness. The main effect of this change is that over expansion will be stifled by happiness unless attention is given to culture. Also, smaller civs or civs unlucky with luxuries will be hurt less and bolstered by attaining more social policies. Either way, culture is more important now, so youve been warned!
AI: Coaxed a bit to favour quality over quantity. Builds barracks and upgrades units more often. Repairs pillaged improvements more often. Builds more culture and happiness.
Puppets: Puppets now have a low priority for building culture. In this version, a puppet city will occasionally build monuments but nothing else culture related. Puppets still focus on gold and gold buildings.
Buildings: Some new buildings have been added and several changes to existing buildings have been made with the intention of improving the usefulness of many buildings and creating a relationship with resources.
Economy: Rush-buying and upgrades are now balanced so that buying and upgrading is no longer saving gold over buying a more advanced unit. Specialists feature more heavily in later stages.
Social Policies: Some buffs to Autocracy, Commerce, and Order. Commerce and Order are now mutually exclusive.
Science: Research agreements are now more expensive. Fives techs have been added to extend the classical era. Early Scientist is back, but with limitations.
UI: Improved building tooltips: now displays specialists, culture and food modifiers, and resource requirements.
Other changes: All changes are documented in the tooltips and the Civilopedia. Or have a look below:
