Awesome, good to know. Will it be a general nerfing across the board? So far the early game bonuses are snowbally enough, and the late-game penalties have been severe enough, that I've considered removing the mod from my load order until an update, which is a pity because I really like the idea of it.
I don't want to be a bother, since I know asking for ETAs is bad form, but any chance the update will be out by the end of the summer? Once summer ends I won't be playing much of anything until the next summer rolls around.
Since you asked so nicely I'll have the changes within 3 days.
Here are the upcoming changes likely to change within those same days.
With the wave of the mighty voices from the people, Civic and Reform enters a weakening stage on its political theatre. With several reworks and bugfixes of the civics, I hope this version will become the last final version in bringing this mod to the well-balanced platform.
