@Pipiskus The authorities informed me the previous art assets were not up to grade, so here we are.
@ildivincodino99 Jarcast and I will look at the others too

 

[JNZS13]

Awesome! Lets crush some muricas.

Kerqa Sharif (Grand Temple)

Gain 30 Tourism whenever a Unit dies.

People in discord were complaining about this particular buff being too small (it was 75 at the time) and you made it even smaller, i think at this point it doesnt do anything, i may be wrong though. Besides that iam glad that this civ comes back out of the forum's darkness. New art is great, even though i liked the old one not to less extent.

This is the overview of the buildings within the same column.

75 would have been more than double the bonus from Mausoleum, a Founder belief wonder.
30 is more in line with other buildings.

Wait, but Mausoleum at this picture yields faith, doesn't it? Do you think faith and tourism should cost the same (be equal) while holding different gameplay functions?

 

[azum4roll]

Looks like another civ I need to add to my mod's reference.

 

[hokath]

v2 changes:
Reverted Tourism to 75. I tested this number many versions ago, it's unclear what it should be. I think in general we don't know what a reasonable number is for this table since it only really appears on the Mausoleum (the Menin Gate is off by a factor of 10, no doubt).
After discussing with the janitorial racoon I've added +1 defence per 2 mountain tiles to the Maydan. Graveyard of Empires folks.
Remove +faith from writers guilds from Maydan, I found I was getting unreasonably high faith for how early in the game.
Lowered faith on Maydan to +2 (from +3), again too much faith.
Jezail Rifleman is called the Jezailchi, mashallah

It would be great to get feedback on how many mountains people are able to get hold of in their games. I managed about 20 on a smaller map size, so I'm wondering if that is a reasonable GPP boost compared to Austria, or if it should be smaller. Please let me know.

 

[Rosete]

the civ's icon is broken when viewed in the spy menu, causing error messanges to pop up. doesn't cause any CTD, but it is anoyying having to keep closing those error messanges whenever I go into the spy menu.

 

[hokath]

Edit: Updating resource. Will not be savegame compatible.

 

[Pipiskus]

What do u think about adding part of Tibet's UA that claims mountains in radius (atleast two mountains would be fine)? Or its alright as it is?

 

[hokath]

The fact you have to buy the mountains adds an important delay to the UA bonus that rewards playing well early. As such I wouldn't add any mountain-claiming ability, no.

 

[Bordukov]

Zamburak (Cavalry)

my feedback:
UU - Zamburak (Cavalry), does NOT have an achievement Skirmishers, that the Cavalry has, which it replaces.
Is this how it should be?

 

[hokath]

No, that's an oversight. Will add and update.

Edit: Have you got the Jezail yet? I'd like to know how the rework feels.

 

[Bordukov]

Have you got the Jezail yet?

Sorry for the long answer (I'm a slow)
I didn't get to them, after the release VP 4.8 I decided to restart...

 

[AndreyK]

Maydan theming bonuses don't work, domestic same era gives theming bonus same as foreign.

 

[hokath]

Tooltip is slightly out of date (will fix), but domestic same era should give +8 as per

Spoiler :

What is it giving you?

 

[AndreyK]

I have Heritage from Artistry, so I see +6 and tooltip says +2 culture and faith. Also when I put domestic same era or foreign - I see no difference in culture or faith, in city and global.

 

[AndreyK]

I have version 2 of Afganistan.

In Afganistan gamedefines I see
