20+ Mods That Work Together. No Fatal Crashes

[ravennasea]

Hello, everyone it was suggested to me to share my ""mod pack"" that I have gotten to work to the end, without crashes. This pack consists of custom civs, bonus resources, balance reworks, city state reworks and many other wonderful changes made by the community here. I get the occasional crash, however this is usually very late into the game and not fatal.

Games are relatively balanced. Custom AI Civs can end up having absurdly high populations and AI will rarely reach 19-20 policies before industrial (ahem Amalfi).

Not Tested For Multiplayer

Small known bugs: Cannot build fishing boats on lakes and Clock Tower icon is broken.

Games are relatively balanced, but typically end up having absurdly high populations and AI will rarely reach 19-20 policies before industrial (ahem Amalfi).

Can you really say that in one sentence?

 

[hokath]

I'm sure this will be helpful, either directly as a modpack or as a reference for people wondering about compatibility.

I considered adding the Clock Tower to EE (probably some kind of rebalancing would be involved also), what do you think?

• Jarcast’s Siam for VP

HUH?!

Whoops that's an error. I blame word :^). Idk how to remove it

It's balanced because the AI are noobs and I own them

I like the clock tower! No reason not to. I was confused because of the apothecary being changed from grocer. If you do add it, I would suggest that minor text fix

 

[hokath]

After looking into it, seems like Clock Towers were actually around a lot earlier than I thought! Probably Machinery is the right place after all, so best leave it.

Maritime Weather

curious, what kind of issues did you run into here?

 

[ravennasea]

Weather caused occasional crashes but it never got fatal until late. Martime Battles Buildings "Magellan" was causing crashes.

Okay I think it's just about intelligently managing the amount of storms in weather -- idk exactly how to approach this but I'll eventually attempt something.

I'm anticipating the wip rebuild of mb won't be as problematic, once finished... At this point hoping to finish it around the time VP 5.0 is completed

Thanks for testing!

 

[Lumpyacidfish]

did you use the latest version of vox populi?

I loved these mods by the way! I was really sad to cut them. I actually like the "randomness" the weather adds. If it gets updated/fixed/whatever would love to play it again : )

 

[Amadhe]

Huh, you have a working version of Sovereignty with the latest release? Nice, I'm downloading it just for that

[New Feature] Post in thread 'JFD's Sovereignty for VP'

Sep 22, 2024

New update, save compatible with 14c.

As with the previous version, the changes are limited strictly to bugfixes/text adjustments. No new content or balance changes have been included.

If anyone wants to more actively develop the mod, then please don't mind me and go ahead.

Version 15:
* Fixed promotions from the Bonded/Emancipated reforms applying to non-worker units
  - Was caused by the reforms lacking UnitClassType entries for the JFD_Reform_FreePromotions table.
  - The Bonded/Emancipated and Cities/Lands reforms now use the Policy_FreePromotions table to apply their...

how did you do that with the events mod it does not work with the latest

what i'll be looking for is some way to detect the game's memory footprint, and we'll just diminish the number of storms accordingly as the game fills up the available 4gb -- trouble is A) idk any way to do this directly via lua, and B) figuring out a way to diminish storms in a way that is still thematically satisfying.... A) the bigger obstacle of the two -- tbh I think we'll just need to taper them off in a "dumb" manner as eras progress, while respecting B).

My version works in the mod pack and TODAY I found a newer version.

Also I am not sure if I can reexplain my steps I did tbh
