I have made a mod targeted at speeding up the pace of play by giving the player and the AI colonists and explorers at game start. The AI also gets 5 points of each affinity type to give it a strong head start and improve its military units quality.
To install the mod: - Download and unzip the rar file.
- go to this directory: C:\Program Files
(x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Sid Meier's Civilization Beyond
Earth\assets\DLC\Expansion1\Gameplay\XML\GameInfo
- copy the file to this folder (make sure you make a backup of the
old handicap folder first!
To play the mod: - Start a game of beyond earth.
- Select Vostok difficulty to get the mod to work *IMPORTANT*.
- In the cargo options for your civ select laboratory. This will enable
the free colonists for your civ at game start.
- Turn off stagered start in the game seeding advanced options.
- Start the game when happy with your settings and enjoy
Mod features:
- Free colonists at game start. The player gets 7 and the AI gets 10 (it tends to lose 2/3 to aliens).
- Free explorers. Player gets 3 and AI gets 4.
- AI receives 5 points of each affinity at game start.
- Most of the vanilla AI vostok bonuses are removed. It does keep the 10% bonus to health and it also gets +100% max unit supply.
- Tougher, more competitive AI.
- More agressive AI.
- AI tends to develop more leader traits and do better in general.
- Do your best to catch up with the AI at game start!
I may release a steam version, although there's quite a lot of XML scripting to do..
If you want to change some of the mod bonuses/handicaps just edit the XML file.
Uninstall: just verify the game on steam or replace the file with a backup handicap folder.
