Buildings: Additions to enhance your palace!

[thadian]

This mod was first made a long time ago, by Tophor who gave special thanks to Pumpkin Patch. This mod was destroyed by the mod-breaker patch. Thus, i have embarked on the revival of this mod - and used it as a tutorial to teach myself some small, basic things. It sure took a lot of time and learning to complete this small work. As i gain feedback about these buildings, i might add more buildings or functions.

These buildings can only be built in the Capital and have zero maintenance and no tech requirements, while giving small bonuses.

This version works with Gods and Kings. I am working on deciding how to make it compatible with Vanilla which could include a Vanilla release or some workaround.

Anyone who wishes to incorporate this or make changes need not ask, just slip in a credit to me - hopefully i will enjoy playing your rendition of it.

Hopefully, you will enjoy adding to your palace as much as i do!

The Palace Altar provides a Faith and Happiness bonus.
The Palace Great Hall adds +1 Culture and +1 Happiness.
The Palace Gardens add +2 Food.
The Palace Observatory provides +2 Science.
The Palace Labour Hall adds +2 Production.
The Palace Treasury provides +4 Gold.
The Palace Throne Room provides +1 Culture, +1 Faith, +1 Gold, +1 Happiness, +1 Production, and +1 Science.

Also, if you wish to be able to build them in ANY city and not just the capital, open the .xml and delete this entry under PALACE_ALTAR:


<Building_ClassesNeededInCity>
<Row>
<BuildingType>BUILDING_PALACE_ALTAR</BuildingType>
<BuildingClassType>BUILDINGCLASS_PALACE</BuildingClassType>
</Row>
</Building_ClassesNeededInCity>

This will remove the first buildings requirement to have a palace, which will allow this "ladder" of buildings to be built in every city. Soon i will do a small fix to change the flavors of the buildings, which i forgot to do.

Cool idea, reminds me of

or so

There's obvious balance problems of course. They should not be available from the start, but only under certain conditions. The cost should be changing per era. At best, they should be exclusive and help specific playstyles. But that's minor

The reason they have no maintenance cost or tech requirements is because each building can only be built in the capital (the first one in the chain, palace alter, has a prerequisite of having a Palace in the city).

This mod has since become a project being worked on by Cyrrino and myself, this version is the "ugly beta", if you will. The name of the new project is Monarchy Plus, available on mod browser.

Once i get some groundwork set, i will make one building tree for each era, about 5 buildings per tree. This is the Palace District.

Each era will unlock "one new line" and each line may only be built in one city as they will all be national wonders.

Soon this will be updated and there will be several "districts" like this one and i hope you enjoy them.

And the screenshot - yes, i made my screenshot in a similar way.

I would like to take up making a series of splash screens once i get the buildings made however, and there are already splash screens in game, i would just need to clone a few of them.

I miss the old palaces and thats what this mod aims to return to the feel of.

I actually don't see your screenshot, but whatever has replaced the old red x .

Other than that, sounds reasonable.

Glad you got it working. Had issues downloading it on steam...
