CEP vs CPP

[akasha27]

Hey!
I've been playing Civ with CEP mod for a while and I really love it, It seems the development is stopped, so I wonder, should I move on to CPP? is it better?
Thanks!

Asking if one mod is better than another is pretty rude to the authors so I'll keep my opinion on the matter to myself.

CPP is a work in progress and keep getting regular updates while CEP isn't getting updated and is pretty broken and out of date.

CPP have tried to fix things that CEP never bothered/got to, mostly BnW-leaders, Ideologies and religion.

CPP have a better system for integrating other mods (atleast from what limited programming I understand ).

CPP have a atleast somewhat active community that finds bugs and imbalances and Gazebo tend to respond really quickly and fix those issues.

One thing that was in CEP that isn't in CPP however is the feeling. When you played CEP you always felt REALLY powerful for some reason(seriously I have no idea why) and that made playing CEP really fun, it however made CEP really easy aswell and I can't remember ever actually losing a game in CEP even on deity.

All in all I wouldn't say one is better than the other, because that would be rude, but Gazebo is around, and Thal isn't.

thanks for the insights! didn't mean to compare them in quality, just to figure if CPP would improve my experience because, as I mentioned, I really love playing CEP.
All developers, even the ones doing simple mods have my admiration, without modding civ 5 would suck...

to sum up, would I find most of the CEP good attributes on CPP?

It is not the same. You should try it out and see for yourself if you like it.

Amazing patch! Good work Gazebo, thanks!

Agreed. Having been part of CEP since its GEM days (Gods and Kings Enhanced Mod) I have to say CPP has become pretty amazing.

It still has some balance issues, particularly in the late game (era-scaling policy yields, I'm looking at you), but overall it vastly improves the BNW experience across the board.
