Does it give a trait in addition to the "normal" one or does it replace it?

Addition

 

[Asterix Rage]

Addition

Excellent

 

[Asterix Rage]

-- Philosophical: Receive a free Great Person of choice(Engineer/Artist/Scientist/Merchant/General/Admiral only). +15% Great Person Generation. Great People Improvements and Gardens generate +2 Golden Age Points.

This one looks a bit OP regarding what the others offer

-- Aggressive: Units trained receive +10 XP. +5% Unit Supply from Population. +1 Golden Age Point from Barrack. Begins with a free spearman.
-- Protective: +4 City Strength Defense. Units in cities will always heal 5 points per turn regardless of actions taken. +1 Golden Age Point from Wall. Begin with an archer.

Why not with a unique and dedicated promo to make them really aggressive/protective

-- Commercial: Cities generate +2 Gold. 5% of Gold Purchases is converted into Golden Age Points. City Connections generate +1% Gold per City. +1 Golden Age Point from Caravansary. Begin with a free market.

2 golds + market. That a lot of gold from the beginning

I'm not sure, I didn't try any of them yet
Looks very exiting. Thx

EDIT : The name "Civ IV traits" sounds confusing IMO

 

[JNZS13]

So..10 turns and nothing changed. Where i see the additional traits?

edit: my bad, all good now.

Edit2: no, not good. i got a "unable to load eyeforeye.dds" after my trait apears and a box whit a red square inside lol

should works with the version 2.( first post in this thread)

 

[Enginseer]

I was kind of hoping the trait list was more refined if it was randomly selected(would mean less RNG synergy)... but I have a bad distaste with the diplomatic modifier since that should only be reserved for the Diplomatic trait anyway.

 

[Padre19]

v3. small update ( some error )

 

[Asterix Rage]

Is there a way to know what opponents got?

Let's pretend you make the answer

 

[Asterix Rage]

VP (8-5b) + MUC(v48)

Blank Trait notification at turn 4

Nobody get an effective new Trait. No "Trait Building" for anybody despite they exist in RAS\City\buildings

 

[Padre19]

try the new version

 

[Asterix Rage]

try the new version

It works. Thx very much Papa

Do you plan to go further with this mod?

• A simple entry in civilopedia that show all traits could be great...
• Event arts could be nice...
• What the point to give out to everyone?

Edit : Dependency on (7) Community Events !?

Why is it random? If I pick Zulu, I don't want Enlightened, Spiritual, etc. so why even use this if there's way higher chance you're going to get something that has nothing to do with your desired win condition?

Even if you can pick, I'd say a lot of these are pretty OP and the GAP unnecessary for every trait. Still, good work!

 

[Asterix Rage]

Why is it random?

I take this mod as a game changer. I like it
Random makes the civs slightly different every time. Unpredictable. It fits my play style. Maybe not yours.
The GAPs for each trait and some other aspects could be discussed, I agree.

 

[Drakul]

What about to tie them to some achievments or buildings,projects ? Like clearing barb camp gets you aggresive ? Or Add some wonder that build gives you x trait ?

 

[CrazyG]

This is a cool idea. I think the best way to deal with randomness would be to generate 2 or 3 options, and then let the player choose one of those.

Diplomatic, Creative and Charismatic seem a lot weaker than the others.
If you only roll a single option, Philosophical is probably the best because any empire can find a way to make it useful (I'm Zulu, I could build a manufactory immediately to build an army more quickly).

 

[Asterix Rage]

So far I got Charismatic and Philosophical.

Charismatic is not that bad but WLTKD length should be doubled to feel the gain (10 and 30). The GAP is pertinent here.
Philosophical is too much. I picked a scientist to make the improvement. What a good start! And a lot of GAP all a long the game.
