Unique components are buildings, units, or tile improvements which are exclusive to a single civilization. This mod increases the number of unique components of each of the base 43 civilizations from 2 to 4. Many of the components from this mod are collected from many of the great mods already existing for VP, but some are exclusive to this mod. In addition to the new UCs, some base components of civilizations have been modified, either to adjust and incorporate the new components smoothly into the game, or as a way of altering balance. Many AI flavours have been adjusted to help the AI accomodate for the new tools at their disposal.

Detailed descriptions of each of the new UCs by civilization can be found below.
Techs and construction costs for each component are italicized.
features or aspects of unique components which are different from the base unit or building they replace are underlined.

Well, first guys congrats for almost finishing this arduous project. I'm taking a look with curiosity about new possibilities for each civ.

For now I've detected these possible errors:

Byzantium: Missing last changes to UA (-15% faith purchases...) in the picture, and description don't show UA being changed.

Carthage: Tophet instant culture misses "Scales with era".

Egypt : Khopesh - "Mercy" (+30 CS vs Units at or below 50 HP)
+30%?

Greece: Agora - units in this City get "Proxenos" promotion (+5 Influence and +2 Gold from Diplomatic Missions).
Is correct the +2 Gold? Suppouse that it's old iteration, because it's irrelevant compared to standard +1.

Iroquois: Sachem's Council - +3 Paper. It's right or is old value before paper changes done in VP?

Maya : Atlatlist change: "Atlatlist Strike" is now "Poisoned Weapon" (+33 RCP vs Wounded Units. Stays after unit upgrade)
+33%


Will update if I see some more.

 

[Hinin]

So... It has been a year since I began my thread on the subject. A lot of things have happened since and, for logical reasons, the project has changed hands (the new ones being much more capable than the previous ones), but here we are today : after 142 pages of discussion (2827 replies, maybe in the top 20 of the longest threads on this forum), hours upon hours of testing, dozen hours upon dozen hours of coding, some heated debats (thank you Chasqui ) and a lot of compromises, I hope the v.30.4 will attract many testers, and a positive feedback.

Even if my involvement in this project has never been what I had hoped for when I first began all of this, I'm truly happy to see this mod "released" : it proves that this year hasn't been all bad for me. I hope that, even if my role has been very minor, I have been of some use during these last six months.

I want to thank all people involved in the creation of this mod :

- the coders : adan_eslavo (who was just here for Poland initially, and ended up coding most of the civilizations, and created flags), Blue Ghost (the reinitiator of the project after my disparition and the coder of several civs), pineappledan (the jack of all trades of the team : did most of the research, created lots of pictures, was a constant presence on the thread in order to balance things and coded a lot ; also, Indonesia), Infixo (whose arrival in the team made a lot of things possible and was a precious help whenever needed) , De_Genius (coded Denmark and parts of The Netherlands, and was often here to help afterwards) , FieryCharizard7 and Enginseers (each for coding a civilization and giving ideas)

- the testers : Ziad, CrazyG, IcyAngel, phantomaxl1207, Chandler, LukeSlovenia29, FoxofWar, infidel88, Asterix Rage, Giza, Moi Magnus, WoodenThrone, hokath, David de Vasconcelos, doublex55, ThirstQuencher, Jarula and many others (sorry for those I've forgotten : know that every participation has had its importance ).

- Gazebo, for being the best (that and answering our questions)

- Also, of course, all the amazing modders and creators of the Civilization community, for making this kind of compilation mod possible through their hard work.

Now, let's do some testing !

 

[Mad Madigan]

I can't wait to get home this evening and try this out! Been watching the development of this over the last year, but I've had no free time for mod development anymore so I didn't want to try and get involved. But it looks like everything came together in the end, so three cheers to everyone involved with this modmod!

 

[pineappledan]

Thank you @Mitch.sp for pointing out the errors. I've made changes to the OP where necessary.

Byzantium: Missing last changes to UA (-15% faith purchases...) in the picture, and description don't show UA being changed.

The pictures were taken with the 2-27 version, which I would consider the most recent "stable" version of VP. America's icon for the Smithsonian has changed since that patch as well. I won't be changing the pictures unless something relating to the 4UC mod changes.

 

[adan_eslavo]

I'm glad we managed to finish that great mod. Please post any bugs on github if you can. It is easier for us to follow what's happening. But I think this version is as clear as possible and does not contain any major issues.

@pineappledan Could you modify descriptions in this thread to consist of "unordered list" instead of new lines? It would be more clear to read.

 

[Blue Ghost]

Congrats on the release! Glad to see this finally out there.

 

[Jarula]

Great idea new UA for Arabia.

Can always found religion
after founding religion all units gain +50% attack for 20 turns
and for 20 turns on capturing a city free remove heresy and spread religion
to capture the spirit of the 600 AD Islamic conquests

 

[Hinin]

Well, if we want to be nitpicky :
- the Historical info for the Kabuki theater is still missing
- as pineappledan said, the model for the Klepht will make Greek members scream a bit, and should be changed (a red fez or cap instead of the Janissary hat should be enough
- there is also the problem of the Goedendag : basically, there are two model available, one where the unit is composed of macemen, and one where the unit is composed of spearmen (with shields and English colors) ; to me, the Goedendag model could keep the body of the macemen, but with their weapons by goedendags (maybe barbarian clubs with pikes at their summit), and their stance by the one Longswordmen use
- also, the flag for the Chasqui is a bit off and quite pixelised, which is unfortunate, since the model for the unit is great

This is all I can see for now. In terms of coding, as adan_eslavo said, I've not seen a bug for several weeks (the last problem dealt with these days was the unique promotion of the Cacadores, which had not effect, but Infixo put it to work).

 

[phantomaxl1207]

Coming Less Soon:
Compatibility with Enlightenment Era for VP
Goedendag reskin

This team should be able to handle this. Shouldn't take another year.

 

[Gokudo01]

I will give it a try but I 'm a little sceptical

 

[Hinin]

Now, a list of interesting (but maybe not viable) strategies using this mod mod :

Spoiler By Hinin :

- Deus Vult, Ketzer ! : With Germany, go full domination/religion (using the German UA to not be too vulnerable during the WC). Try to grab God of War/Goddess of Protection, Hero Worship, Zealotry and Crusader Spirit, with Authority and Imperialism (you may choose Fealty or Statecraft as a second policy tree), and use the city-states you've begun to ally in the early game (thanks to the Slaganz) as your trade route destinations to boost your production (thanks to the Hanse). Always have some Missionaries follow your forces so that you can immediatly convert the cities affected by the "Chapter" promotion and obtain your Reformation quickly. Let's see if your Teutonic chapters can compete with the rest of the world.

- Nike festivities : With Byzantium, take as much bonus to WLTKD as possible (I suggest taking Theocratic Rule, Way of Transcendence, Synagogue, Mandirs, Resilience and To the Glory of God for your religion, and, of course Burghers from the Fealty tree) : since you're garanted to have WLTKD at the beginning of each era thanks to the Hippodrome, try to focus on producing GMerchants (through GP points or faith) to make so that you are in a near endless WLTKD in your empire and pass one era after the other to trigger Way of Transcendence (you'll have a lot of faith anyway, so converting some neighbours shouldn't be difficult, and your religion won't be the most useful to them).

- Par Toutatis ! : As the Celts, focus on producing as much Oppida as possible : that means focusing on GMerchants in the early game, and so taking Lugh as a pantheon seems a good choice (with maybe To the Glory of God for reformation), as well as taking the Industry policy tree. It's as simple as that, but the adjacency bonus should be nice enough, and you'll have forts throughout your territory in case of attack.

- Edo-jidai : As Japan, take Tradition and play a mix of GP generation and aggression (to generate GGeneral and GAdmiral points). As always, taking Goddess of Protection is good for Japan, but you can follow with Ceremonial burial and To the Glory of God is possible (with some faith buildings beliefs to have additionnal GW slots). I suggest being defensive in the early game, and then go conquering when you begin having your UCs (maybe take Tradition/Artistry/Imperialism/Autocracy or Freedom).
The Kabuki theater comes a bit late and isn't cheap, but offers some nice boosts to your cultural specialists in the mid-game : this is not the most impressive strategy, and its effects only really appear beginning the Renaissance era, but you'll have plenty of GWorks to play with in the end-game, while also staying powerful defensively.

- Barbary kingdom : As Morocco, find yourself a powerful ally to hide behind, and distrupt international commerce whenever possible. Using your Corsairs, you can gain great amounts of yields by bullying weaker civilizations. At the same time, send some trade routes to some powerful neighbours, make so they open their borders to you, and plunder all the trade routes of civilizations other than your new ally (it's MY friend => Yandere Amhad al-Mansur... what have I done...).

Spoiler By pineappledan :

Spoiler Iroquois - Great Law of Peace :

4UC tilts Iroquois into becoming a diplo civ, focused mainly on Production of Great Diplomats. Their new Unique Scrivener's Office replacement increases the birth rate of GDF, and gives you a share of the tile yields for each embassy you have created. Always keep your Civil servant slots full, and invest a bit in Great person generation to stay ahead of the curve in CS influence.

Spoiler Greece - Euergetes and Proxenos :

The new Agora, in addition to furthering Greece's cultural supremacy, provides a unique gold mechanic to diplomatic units produced in the city. As soon as you have a source of paper, you can start sending Diplomatic units which give more CS influence, and provide +2 Gold per turn for the rest of the game in your capital. Greece need not concern itself with CS quests too much, because investing early in diplomatic units can serve as a reliable source of income for the rest of the game.

Spoiler Assyria - Medean Horses :

With the 4UC, the first true empire on the planet finally has an early game power spike. With the iron chariot, Ashurbanipal can flood the battlefield with an effective war machine, with only casual concern for strategic resource limits. Use your iron chariots to expand the empire in search of more sources of strategic resources to boost the capabilities of your soldiers.

Spoiler China - Son of Heaven :

the Xiafan Guanjun and Exam Hall both add diplomatic focus to the Chinese playstyle. Station your fleets inside CS territory to increase influence, or quicken the normalization of relations after a tribute demand.

Spoiler Sea Nomads :

With 4UC, Indonesia's coastal and island flavor has been restored. Their unique improvement, the Kampong of the Sama-Bajau people, and the speedy prau make Indonesia a powerhouse of exploration and economy. Because the Kampong is built on coastal tiles, try to settle small islands with just enough space for your Unique luxuries. The Kampong benefits from lighthouses, harbors and seaports, like any normal coastal tile, but also from Imperialism's Exploitation policy. Be careful, however, because this new UI makes Indonesia an even more attractive target for any would-be conquerors.

Spoiler Korea - Miracle on the Han River :

The Chaebol is not an especially powerful building for how late it is, unless you have many cities in your empire. Each additional Chaebol on empire increases the culture, gold and science of ALL chaebols you own! Be sure to settle lots of cities in time for the modern age, so you can create a deluge of yields in all your cities!

Do you have your own strategies using the modmod to talk about ?

 

[adan_eslavo]

@pineappledan What was planned for Buffalo Pound? I can see in description add food per 4 citizen and it is dding 1 per 5?

 

[pineappledan]

It should be whatever the base well is.

Game text is wrong, but the code is right. I will update that

 

[Deadstarre]

I downloaded it, but noticed there is only 1 file in the folder. however on Github, everything is neatly organized in subfolders (with all of the code on SQL and LUA etc) - why not release in the same format as there (and as VP does) rather than condensing into a single file?
