great person

So I have a rough (and admittedly not very well thought out) idea of how to redo Great Persons concept-wise and mechanics-wise. In this post I might also refer to half-backed mechanics that do not exist in Civ 6. Great Persons are special civilian units, but now there are no different types of...

Adds (400+ now 500+) more Great Generals and renames and replaces some old ones.

When the Era changes, new Great People will be of the new Era. (True for me on Deity; not sure the mechanism at lower levels of difficulty.). That means any available Great People of earlier Eras will be succeeded by a Great Person costing more. If you play Single Player, you are player #1, so...

I thought I understood the cost of Great Persons in the game, until something unusual happened. This is what I knew - On standard speed classical GP cost 60 points, and medieval GP cost 120 points on Medieval era, but if they appear in classical era it's 155 points. And Renaissance GP will cost...

All of the Major World Religions are waiting for.... Someone. Perhaps adding that Someone to the game would complete the experience. A list of Great Persons and Religions (In order of preference) who may recruit them. Some Religions are capable of recruiting a second (if they pass on the first...

I was searching around for a Mod that has a Great Person as the leader instead of the city/cities. This Great Person could move around, give bonuses but you could not use any abilities that would delete the unit. Plus if this unit was kill/captured that Civ just lost the game. Other abilities...

This is my first multiplayer game since getting NFP. About every other turn or so, they go from make 2-7 gp points in science, which is consistent with the game era, to suddenly making like 25-27 points per turn. This will stick around for a turn or two, then go back to the original value, and...

I played Brazil three times and in the paper, his bonuses seem really good and useful. Rainforest tiles provide a +1 adjacency bonus for Campuses, Commercial Hubs, Holy Sites, and Theater Squares is really great, you can make theater squares with 6 culture, which is very hard. Recruiting or...

I play a lot of multiplayer games and in 90% of games, religion is not a factor at all. In 99% of games, it is barely a factor at all. One of the things that bothers me about religion is that once you have established a religion, all Great Prophet points you earn from that point forward are...

One of my consistent pet peeves with Civ V and Civ VI has been that the civs that have the highest flavor and priority for founding religions tend to prefer founding one of the Christian religions. So I almost always see Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy, or Protestantism be the first religion(s)...

I'm trying to figure out a way to acquire all Great Writers from the Classical Era(earliest era for Great People) in a single game. I have read this: https://forums.civfanatics.com/resources/the-mechanism-of-great-people.26276/ But still am at a loss of trying to figure out either: a) a...

http://imgur.com/a/TCpK7 My science. No Industrial tech researched. My civics, no industrial tech reseached. Previously recruited Great Merchants was from Renaissance by me (Sumeria). No one else recruited Great Merchant. In Great Merchant column, John Jacob Astor (2 Envoys)...

I can hear the sound effect when I click on the button but nothing happens. Other things seem fine. I had a look around and saw other people claimed it had to do with a recent patch; i could certainly access it a while ago, when i was bingeing on this game. Note: It looks like the mod...

INTRODUCTION: This mod add X times longer only Great Person turns rate of all "GAMESPEED" options. Updated 14-12-2016: add ( X3 ) ( X4 ) files It is not a gamespeed option and it not modify vanilla gamespeed. By the way, once one activated, you haven't got to select it on the custom or fast...

While I really like the individualization of the great people and what they do (some of them anyway), I think that we can do a lot better. Please feel free to add your ideas, suggest different bonus or offer changes to these bonuses. All comments are welcome. Every great person should have...

Watch here: Once Kongo has five relics in its capital, its faith output would very well allow the Kongo player to buy very much any great person very much on demand using faith. No wonder why MadDjinn (the person who made the Let's Play) decided to give up on the Kongo game.

I seem to be overrun with Great Persons and nowhere to activate them. I now have a musician, writer and painter all cooling their heels in my capital. They all require specialty slots. Is there a list anywhere of what improvements each Great Person requires? The Civilopedia seems mute on the...
