Spoiler (DEFUNCT) Is governing your cities too hard? :

Enjoy the pleasure of assigning a governor to micromanage your cities!

[JNZS13]

Tnk u mr. Modmods/Submods. Always make us have more fun.

 

[pineappledan]

I can already tell you that ggantija is OP. A free temple in ancient is more faith than Stonehenge, and far more powerful than the other 3 neolithic wonders.

 

[Enrico Swagolo]

The buildings require just to pick the tree, or to finish it? If I were to play Tall, I could see myself go Tradition > open Statecraft > switch to Artistry just for this building alone. Still, it does look cool, I will try this once I play again.

 

[JNZS13]

Just pick the tree

 

[Drakul]

What about to give the Neolithic Wonders the ability to reveal one bonus rescourses ? Like Ggantija +2 gold and reveals one source of catle/sheeps. Each worked source of caatle,horses,sheeps +1 culture and faith.

 

[Drakul]

Skara Brae reveals 2 wheat resources and granary provides 2 culture and 1 faith.

 

[Enginseer]

[Enrico Swagolo]

Atash seems pretty bad, a non-capital city with the best pantheon/religion choice + temple/shrine will be providing what, 3 Science? And that's assuming all is already built. In most cases that's just 1-2 Science. Not even a GW slot there. Pagoda with only your religion only is comparable in power, this one has nothing appealing or going for it.

Maths:
Shrine + Temple (GT) = 7
Atash + Monastery + Fealty Finisher = 7
Faith-heavy Pantheon = 1-4
Another belief/building? 2-4,
Fealty specialists? 0-4 (average)
25 tops. That's 3.75, which will round itself down to 3. Remove an element of the equation or have a worse pantheon, and it's going down to 2. That's in renaissance (or very late medieval) once you have everything up.

Capital's going to have a better output in some cases, but you only get one of these. It'll be providing 4.

 

[pineappledan]

Could someone post the info for the new belief buildings? All the other components have information posted

 

[Enrico Swagolo]

It's in the mod on Steam as a fourth picture IIRC. They don't seem very balanced to me tbh, Aul seems too RNG based and good. Maybe ninja too, but that one seems pretty much ok with just faith. Here's attached:

 

[pineappledan]

Atash - Faith generation in cities isn't usually high enough to make 15% conversion any good. Unless you have stacked religious wonders, that's never going to exceed 3, and it's not going to scale into late game at all.
Aul - 3GG points per turn is a massive amount. I'm not opposed to the idea, but a secure flow of even 1GGP per turn in all cities is a substantial boost for some civs. I would reduce that to 1GGP
Gurdwara - Seems fine, but if it were me I would swap the Mandir's bonuses with the Gurdwara's. Gurdwaras double as soup kitchens and homeless shelters, and are the most charity-minded of all the religious buildings present in-game. I think bonuses would reflect this well. Also Sikhs, while they do not proselytize, also have nothing against converts, like many sects of Hinduism do, so the lower pressure makes more sense for Mandirs IMO. Lastly, Hinduism's concept of Moksha is far more conducive to asceticism than Sikhism's ideals, so happiness modifiers make more sense to me on Mandirs.
Good lord the Jinja is OP - That's a lot of faith on a lot of tiles. I would restrict that to tiles sea tiles with resources on them only. 3GA points is even more OP than 3GG points, since naval combat is less common and starts later than land combat. This means that each GAP per turn is even more of a big deal. This also means than Jinja is the single biggest happiness-generating religious building via unique luxuries.
Kongmiao - Seems pretty close to fine. I think reducing the GPRate to 25% would bring the building more in line.

Everything from pic is outdated because Atash provides +1 Faith per CS Ally/Friend (which allows you to exceed science especially when you have a lot of friends)...
Aul has the GGP because it can't hold any art slot, it used to generate tourism upon researching a tech but the idea was thrown away.
I have no intentions of switching Gurdwara and Mandir since the base building of Mandir bonuses can change at any time.
Jinja already changed to +2 Faith on Sea Resources.
Kongmiao was already done.

 

[pineappledan]

have no intentions of switching Gurdwara and Mandir since the base building of Mandir bonuses can change at any time.

just change the icon and text references for the Mandir. We did something similar with penteconter/dromon. Mandir can change all it wants and you won’t have to change anything

Hi, trying this mod out. Before this I used to play with Community Patch Compatibility mod, now just built State Embassy but it appeared in the list of regular buildings, no slots for civil servants. In Civilopedia entry it listed in buildings category near State Treasure, might it be the problem with new National wonders collection?

Huh? I'm confused.

 

[Asterix Rage]

Appoint and recall a governor allows to press Next button with nothing to build in a city (even all of them)

 

[Asterix Rage]

National Air Force Academy gives all Air Units Evasion promotion ! Seriously?
What the point to get B17 with Freedom then ?

 

[Asterix Rage]

National Naval Academy gives all Naval Unit Seamanship Academy (Double movement on Ocean) Wow !
Why not to rename it "Very Advanced Nuclear Fusion powered promotion" ?

Unfixable until you click on next turn to which production will pop up for those cities...

National Air Force Academy only gives trained air units in that city evasion I.

National Naval Academy gives all Naval Unit Seamanship Academy (Double movement on Ocean) Wow !

Supposed to be double movement on coast rather than ocean.. hmm.
