3UC/4UC for VP: Project Coordination Thread

[Hinin]

I suggest staying on civfanatics : as Gazebo said once (talking about a discord server, but it applies here too), even if using github has a lot of benefits, putting most of the informations there could make you lose a lot of visibility, and thus potential testers (some people simply won't go to a site they aren't familiar with, and the fact that you must create an account to post things on github will also rebuke some people). Just saying.

Edit : I also just did some minor modifications to the Credit table (some informations were meant to only be temporarily displayed). Here is the new version.

Edit 2 : While building a solution for the last version of the mod from github, I saw that there is an error : it says "Could not copy the file "Celts\ScythedChariot\ScythedChariot.lua" because it was not found.". Is it linked to your last changed to the Scythed Chariot, @pineappledan ?

 

[adan_eslavo]

Ok, I pushed new Credits to Github. Later I will compile new version.

 

[pineappledan]

if it's not too big, then Civfanatics for sure. I think posting the github is a nice option, but as @Hinin says it could scare some people off

I saw that there is an error : it says "Could not copy the file "Celts\ScythedChariot\ScythedChariot.lua" because it was not found.". Is it linked to your last changed to the Scythed Chariot

Yup. I straight up deleted that lua. It's not necessary because there's an action that does the exact same thing exposed to SQL. No gameplay changes.

If @adan_eslavo could remove reference to that lua when he compiles the new version then all will be well

 

[adan_eslavo]

Ok, deleted. I hope it helps.

@pineappledan Are you eager to start civfanatics new thread? I think it is right time to do it.

I am about to compile new v30.3 version of mod.

 

[pineappledan]

I’m going to update all the descriptions with build costs, and go through it all one more time, then yes. I can make the fresh post this afternoon

 

[adan_eslavo]

Ok, great. I updated download link to v30.4.

The German Warrior replacement makes you feel like you are the Huns. Their capture rate is not as good as the Hun Horseman. So the Barbs you capture do get to keep the Barb only Promotions. That is really cool.

Yes, the fact that barbarian units captured by Slaganz keep their barbarian promotion allow some interesting things.
For example, barbarian usually get the "can embark" promotion quite quickly (while it requires for the player to search for a tech that isn't a priority if you don't intend to have a strong maritime presence in the early game) : this allows you to grab some additionnal ruins, to complete more "barbarian" quests (for example if you find barbarian camps on islands) and to outmanoeuver your opponents in the very first conflicts.

In general, I think that Germany have tools to be a really aggressive civilization in the first part of the game with this mod : by keeping the most powerful barbarian unit on your side (you can give the others to city-states, or organize suicide attacks with them to capture important targets, like settlers), focus on creating a religion (with as much "militarist" beliefs as possible), complete the Authority tree and then use the Teutonic Order in the Medieval era to obtain Crusader Spirit, you can have units with "barbarian" promotions, bonus of +30 % CS to +40 % CS (without taking xp promotions into account) and a good production thanks to the Hanse (keeping a few CS allies after the Ancient era is essential), so enough to become a military monster. Deus Vult.

Major request change to Arabia UA basically adding can always establish a religion... Islam is never founded in civ...

 

[pineappledan]

We should lock this thread. Not going to change Arabia's UA like that. They have a strong faith start with Markets

@Blue Ghost, perhaps you could edit the OP with a link to the new thread, and call for a moderator action here? They likely won't listen to me since I am not the OP
