balance

Hey y'all, I'm new to Civ V modding and was hoping to make a small mod to iron out a few pet peeves of mine. Only thing I'm thing I'm really stuck on rn is figuring out how to remove Petra's bonus from desert hills. I put the following in my Buildings.xml: <GameData>...

Please refer to this poll over the previous one! Sorry for the confusion. I couldn't edit the poll options after making the poll so I'm creating a new one taking into account the feedback recieved. The 'steal strategic' option now clarifies how that mechanic works, and I've limited the number...

[Edit: please disregard the stats in this poll, I have created a new one that should hopefully be clearer! I can't figure out how to delete the post, but I guess the conversation her may still be somewhat relevant.] Based on discussion in the Shoshone thread, most people seem to agree that the...

Would love to see someone make a mod that just makes a few changes to the terrain in Civ 6. Desert: +1 Production Lake: +1 Food Snow: +1 Faith Desert I've always found it weird that Desert tiles yield literally nothing by default. Not only does it make Desert awful without Petra, but some...

Hello! Since the April Balancing Patch came out, Firaxis has made it clear that Civ 6 is not getting another major update for some time. This is not great because while the April patch solved many issues, it created a few others. For example, Gaul is in a pretty interesting state. Due to...

Start the discussion! Edit: Can finally get rid of the 2K Video placeholder now.

I know that Nere has already built a mod that rebalances secret socities, but I feel that it goes too far and makes too many changes to the game mechanics. I would like a simpler one. It would be interesting if people posted their modding solutions to rebalance the secret societies, for getting...

Since Civ VI Developers are constantly checking this Community for Feedback and Suggestions from CivFanatics (Civ/ Leader & CS Pickers, Barbarian Mode...etc), and the Bugs Section to gather more Infos about the Bugs...etc, I thought it might be a good Idea to make a Thread just to submit ALL the...

Have you ever looked at Democracy and wondered why you would ever choose it? Ever look at the Javelin Thrower and wish you could just build regular archers? Well this mod is for you! I've taken a look at many of the options available in Civ 3, from governments to units to even wonders and...

This mod originally started as a simple tweak, allowing cavalry to upgrade into tanks so they didn't just deadend. It soon ballooned in scope and evolved into the form you see today, a total sweeping balance update to the existing game while trying to maintain the spirit of the vanilla...

- Neighborhoods increase max. number of specialists in specialty districts by 1. It stacks, i.e. more neighborhoods -- more specialists. - New policy cards: - (Economic) +1 amenity per 2 campus or industrial zone specialists. +2 science and production in cities with both districts. -...

I wanted to bring this up because it seems very difficult to perfect. What I would like to do here is discuss what an ideal outcome would look like to give a frame of reference for further discussion. I not asking for a single value that applies for all resources or all situations, simply the...

It may just be me, but I personally think that Catapults become a teensy bit outmoded by the Medieval Era. Just a little. The way I see it, Catapults are for taking out Ancient Walls, and Bombards are for taking out Renaissance Walls, but Medieval Walls... well, again, maybe this is just my own...

You can pick any, all, or none this time! Whether you think something is too strong, too weak, or just not very interesting, which of the rewards that you can get from ancient ruins would you like changed or at least reviewed? Moved to General Balance. - Recursive

Following the discussion here, I'd love to get some more data on how people feel about the balance of various rewards from ancient ruins. If we can establish that one or more of the rewards are considered by the community as stronger than the others, perhaps that will help us determine where to...

Three factions are weaker than the rest - a 4th only because of a bug. Preppers: Fix the bug where opposing players can use the tooltip to see the trap. Zombies: Change the second movement promotion to the standard removal of movement penalty for woods and hills. They almost never win because...

Current effect: +50% science for campus buildings if the city has 10+ population. Additional +50% science if campus adjacency is 3+. Proposed effect: +1 science per population per citizen in cities where campus is adjacent to a city center or a neighborhood (only one counts, doesn't stack)...

This mod enables shared research and technology tree for members of the same team. Quickstart The mod adds the new "Teams Share Research" game configuration option, enabled by default. If the option is enabled, shared research will automatically activate in multiplayer or hotseat games...

After the Ethiopia expansion pack was updated, I was curious about your views on the strength of each civilization. After seeing another thread discussing the strength of the polis, I decided to post this thread. To avoid too much confusion, I'll limit this thread to only discussing...

As part of my diplomacy AI rework, I'm revising every single function one by one, and now that I'm done with memory, war damage/score functions are one of the first on the list. There are currently five ways in which war score against another player can be increased: - Killing units - Capturing...
