You sure like your UA's very powerful! I have the same UA for Songhai, only it gives a bonus to tiles with already 3 gold, instead of just one. Hope if you don't mind my borrowing the name "Isa Ber", it has a nicer ring to it than "Bureaucracy", the name I'm using now

Sure go ahead. If you're interested, I think (wikipedia) it's the name of the River Niger in the Songhai language.

"Golden ages are 100% longer, units have +1 move and +20% strength"

... while in Golden Age (the fighting bonus) ?
Good mod, good ideas, especially for England, America, Japan.
I love all of this mods changing the civ bonuses, because I enjoy having powerful bonuses in order to improve civ's personnality.

Are you saying you're going to make this, or that it's finished? I don't see a download link, unless I'm missing something obvious. I wonder if it would work with the unofficial R.E.D. beta also.

Yea during golden ages only

I've tried to keep it as compatible as possible, but ultimately it hasn't been tested with any other mods. It's available for download from the mod browser, although the files are now attached to this post if you prefer that way (I think I've done that right...)

 

[riddleofsteel]

Thanks! I'll give it a try.

 

[Nutty]

I wonder if it would work with the unofficial R.E.D. beta also.

It doesn't change any art defines, so the scaling will stay in effect. I think the unique units changes this mod puts in effect will override the conflicting ones in R.E.D. Just be sure to activate this mod after you activate R.E.D.

EDIT: I can't seem to get this mod to work at all for me. After I go to set up a game and choose a civ, it just sits there. I can hit Escape to go back to the menu, but it never moves on to the Dawn of Man screen.

EDIT #2: This is with only dagomod loaded. It's odd. Most civs do work. I was trying to test the UU's, so I tried America, Germany, and Iroquois. They produce the odd behavior I mentioned above. Other civs seem to be fine. Some civ's maps come up all red, and it may only show one unique asset on the Dawn of Man screen. Another usually appears by the time the game finishes loading, but it will often show the wrong icon, for a different unique asset the civ controls. It will let me into the civs I mention above if they come up randomly (I got America and Germany to come up by reloading several times), although America has the TXT_KEY errors that are usually the result of a duplication in an XML somewhere.

Is it just me?

 

[riddleofsteel]

I tried a game as Washington to test that out, Nutty. Game loaded fine, bonuses looked correct, etc. I'll try Germany and Iroquois also.

If you look, the docks are a replacement for the longbowmen. That's why that doesn't work...

The docks are difficult to test, all I can say is I'm pretty sure those are working...
