So here's a question I'd like some help with:
I want to add an oil based company and I'm struggling with finding a good name.
My rule with company names is this:
It needs to have some connection to the civ franchise (e.g. Sid's Sushi, Morgan Energetics, etc)
AND/OR
It has to be funny, meme like (e.g. Burgerworld, Wonka, etc)

So the ideas I have so far:
-Oil The Way
-Oil Way Long

Haha! These are funny indeed.

But in the meantime I rediscovered an old idea that I like:

Octan from Lego
It already has a logo and even a slogan:

Spoiler :

But thanks for the ideas
And I still need help with another one:

I think I need an alcohol corporation too.
I already have "Beer With It" but i don't like it so much It's more like a slogan than a company name.
Maybe "BeerCubs" if there isn't anything better.

BizBooze

Biz as in bussiness
booze as in alchohol

also - Bizbooz is a hebrew word that means, spending money

Thanks for thinking with me

I think I will go for Prancing Pony Pubs. It's as good as Wonka Confectioneries in the sense of a reference. I also like it because it sounds innocent and family friendly and the 3 P-s also rhyme well. I may even add Green Dragon Taverns as a competitor

hey @<Nexus>
whats up?

say, about the civic dependancy,
ROM AND got it right? is this the civic forbidden tag? or there is another?

 

[<Nexus>]

Yes, it's the <ForbiddenCivic> tag, so technically here it is not a requirement but a blocker. But it works

 

[keldath]

i see,
yeah thats one way to run it.
i wonder - does the ai use it?
for now i implemented the civic dependency mod.
now i have a dilema which to use

 

[<Nexus>]

i wonder - does the ai use it?

It may be surprising but it does
...well, it has no other choice.
I mean, it always chooses from the civics available, whether they are blocked by techs or other civics.

 

[keldath]

Huh,
Interesting.
Wondering what will be better. The othe mod, has the ai value the civics dependats and its parent as a group.

 

[<Nexus>]

Which other mod? Do you have a link?
I though you are writing it from scratch.

I am basically done with designing the new corporation relations. As the chart below shows I have organized them into groups. Every corporation inside a group competes with every other one and outside competitors are connected via lines; except for Industry, they don't automatically compete with each other. And Prancing Pony is an outsider for all.
My goal was to have all corporations a balanced number of competitors.Still there are a few with only 2 competitors and some with even 7 but most have 4 or 5, which is very good at this amount of corporations

I'm also done with some of the yield/commerce part.

 

[keldath]

Wow thats Impressive.
I bet you put in a lot of think time into this.

Well done my friend.

 

[<Nexus>]

I bet you put in a lot of think time into this.

Yeah, I did

What do you mean?

What do you mean?

Turns out there's a whole book on the topic:

Amazon.com

And to not be accused again on offtopic:
I suggest the "Difficulty Increasing with Empire Size:" should be a toggleable option. While I understand your reasoning for having said feature, I find it's effects not that realistic (ehh, check the real world...), but that's my own preference


P.s. And nice to see your fast reply

So it isn't related to the present topic. I am not going to get involved IRL politics but let me just quote an old teacher of mine:
"If you are so tolerant, than you have to tolerate that don't tolerate this." - I think it's genius

It's actually a good point! I'll see if I can make it optional or not but now it's on my TO DO list

P.s. And nice to see your fast reply

I still have the habit of sleeping some times though

Hi, I recently installed your mod and have enjoyed a lot. But, I found out that there is no state religion icons in scoreboard and info screen, which shows civics of civs. How can it be fixed? Thanks!

I guess you are using Steam, right? You have to roll back your game to the previous version. I don't use steam but there is a setting to go back to non-steam version.
