~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ INTRODUCTION ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Did you ever feel bored by the dull policy cards provided by vanilla game ?
Don't you ever wanted some nice policy cards to stay forever ?
Or Don't you ever take several mods that give you policy cards but in the end you just feel lost in them and just get back to the vanilla one you always pick ?
Well, this mod is MADE - FOR - YOU ~ !
Radiant Additional Everlasting Policies adds 15 New Everlasting Policy cards with original and realistic effects !
Either read mod content or just subscribe and let the surprise happen !
Meaning they will provide you usually something else than flat bonus's which actually make the government part of the game annoying. Lucky you, they will be available in early ages (Most of them are already available past classical era) and if you like a particular combo (or if you are just a lazy a**) they will never be obsolete and will last till the end of your game.
The 5 wildcards ones are really powerful while the red/green/yellow have reasonable effects compared to vanilla's (but still a bit more interresting you will see).
I was inspired by many many effects i could find in the game and put lots of time gathering data, coding and testing them. The original idea i had when i imagined this mod for myself was to replace and beat all the already existing policy card mods (Raen, NPP2, Reformation, etc..) not speaking necessarily of power ... but to live more interresting games. If you already have these mods, i advise you to switch them off. Not that mine is not compatible, it actually is @ 100% but there will be a big useless mess of policy cards at some point in such a multi mod game.
Final point : if you want to know how and why i created these particular cards, you can go read the details in game in civilopedia description !

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ MOD COMPATIBILITY ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This mod only work when a whole new game is created while activated and can't work on already existing saves. Sorry it couldn't be avoidable.
This mod is meant to be compatible with most of the existing mods (has been tested with 150+ of my mods). Though if you have a problem, you can notice me if you need help to fix it manually.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ MOD FUTURE ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Adding a specific Diplomatic Action i have in mind that would be a little subpart of this mod.
- Might be updated several times because of adjustments toward game difficulty balance.
- Warn me if there is any complaint about game difficulty balance. It's important to me to know if there is something absolutely wrong. Don't be mad if i don't listen your request though, i will have to be agree with you and test your fact several times before making a change.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SPECIAL THANKS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thanks to my cat who messed my code while i was sh***ing, resulting leaked errors that i only noticed later and had to take an hour to fix...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ RADIANT MODS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You can find all my mods by searching the "radiant" in steam workshop, nexus, or civfanatics, which is a recurrent word in all my mod's tittles.
