Overpowered, depending on how you use. It made my Babylon games trivial, since selling techs means the investment bonus on Babylon's UA is always in use. I had a game in which I befriended Austria, whose AI is among the most loyal, and kept selling and buying techs from her. We effectively had...

If I'm not mistaken, RCS starts as the city's ungarrisoned CS; an ungarrisoned city with 11 CS will also have 11 RCS before modifiers. Defense buildings (e.g. Wall and Castle) increase both CS and RCS at once. Garrisoned units don't increase RCS by themselves. Tradition has a policy that adds a...

Maybe a siege unit. The Mongols surprised many defenders with the siege devices they brought, something normally unexpected from a nomadic army. We have Muslim scholars reporting that the Mongol siege of Baghdad (1258) included siege crossbows, and there are artifacts in Japanese museums showing...

It can be the right change. When the Gallery was proposed, nobody thought to also propose to adjust Faith of the Masses. You can propose to add the Gallery in the next congress. Someone may prefer a different idea from yours, like a rebalanced reformation around having that extra building or...

Depends on how fast you want to conquer cities, and what contribution you want from the conquered cities. Puppets are the easiest for happiness management and ideal for conquering a large number of cities as fast as possible, since they don't require a Courthouse, nor increase City Needs across...

You could try using the Unit Scaling and Formation mod, which has options to reduce the number of unit models. Someone suggested it before and it seemed to alleviate memory consumption enough to avoid CTDs for him. I haven't tried it yet, so I can't tell from experience.

As a basic check, make sure to clear the game's cache folder after editing the file. Otherwise, the game won't apply your edited values, and will reuse the unedited ones.

Assyria's UA gives them a large science lead as he starts taking cities, making them a snowballing civ. To prevent Assyria from winning, you'd have to ensure they can't capture cities anywhere. The same rationale applies to other civs that are rewarded for conquering, like the Aztecs, and any...

Civ 7 ages and civ swapping have potential, but the execution is to be seen. It will be interesting if you could start in one age as, say, either Austria or Prussia, then play as Germany in the next age. It would let Civ capture an interesting aspect of Europa Universalis, in which you can form...

The virtues promotions extend how long the melee units stay in combat before needing to retreat for healing, though. That's especially noticeable if stacked with Authority's heal on kill. For Japan in particular, melees end generating more XP and GG points simply because they can stay in the...

I didn't propose the Kondei, and I'm not particularly excited with it replacing the Samurai either, both due to it being anti-synergistic with Japan's kit (as you listed), and due to not fully agreeing with the historical explanation given by the original proposer of the Kondei. The original...

The Tatara is meant to address multiple limitations in how Japan is played, since their kit is very streamlined into specific choices. The Tatara does so by supporting the change in the UA, which gets to trigger GWAM progress from Great Engineer birth, and which is the flashier part of the...

@hokath While at it, can you add the following part of the original description in the UA's part of this thread? It came to me that people might not be always checking the original thread for details: Also, the removed heal on kill is 10 HP, not 15.

I had the strength of the theming in the proposal part of my original thread, as follows: The reason it doesn't appear on the part you copied is because it uses the standard wording in the game's tooltip, which only informs of the extra yields part, without the theming's strength. It was meant...

Nothing in the VP Congress Guide suggests what you say. It even mentions that the label "Artwork" can be used to classify a proposal, as follows:
