[Custom Civ] Colonialist Legacies' Canadian Dominion for VP 27

[josh4]

Hey, I just wanted to say 4UC are on for this civ, visible on the civ selection screen, even that I've never run 4UC on reinstall couple days ago. I forgot the screenshot. I would like to play the civ without 3.4UC, is it not possible?

 

[pineappledan]

delete the 4UC folders

3.0 compatibility posted.
Only balance change is that HBC now gives -1 flat poverty reduction in all cities instead of -10%

Love the synergy this Civ has with statecraft: run internal trade routes to claim all of the land just in time for taking advantage of statecrafts trade run policies. Really didn't expect that the trade routes claim all tiles they pass across, not just tiles in the nearest city's working range. Progress into statecraft makes a lot of sense to get to the Civ's unique unit and building
Really strong civ for a diplomatic victory and it nails the aggressively defensive posture design intent indicated.
Very much enjoy that the kit encourages using spies as diplomats too, its not something I do outside of the end game of a tourism win condition, love civ designs that encourage engaging different parts of the game

removed old rome compatibility and removed the population requirement for the hudson's bay.

When a trade route claims a tile near another city that it didn't originate from, it has some unexpected consequences. In this city, a trade route claimed the sulfur on the right, and the two blue highlighted tiles below them. Since those tiles have no yields, my city can't move a worker on to them and make them active for the city. This is blocking me from buying the Iron that would otherwise be in range. I'll keep an eye on it, but I suspect the city might never be able to organically claim the iron either.

Also, when I improved that same sulfur, it indicated it's benefits were given to my capital instead of the nearby city. Presumably because the capital, from which the trade route originated, owned the tile at the time. This is an interesting and controllable mechanic, although maybe not intended.

You should be able to see which city owns the tiles by hovering on them.

 

[pineappledan]

The TR claims always go to the capital.

If I’m doubt claim the tiles you want with more TRs by moving roads over those tile to reroute your caravans.

 

[dostillevi]

So still, I can't do anything about these snow-covered tiles. I'm trying building something on them so the nearby city can claim them and get to the iron. There's simply no way I can find to transfer ownership of tiles without yields.

 

[pineappledan]

Best way is to use the UA to claim it

Update to railway hotel.
Only boosts coaling station now, because Coaling station and seaport are no longer mutually exclusive

 

[JudyBlueEyes]

Diplomats not giving me the extra delegates, this a new bug?

 

[Remito]

Same issue here !

The mod may have fallen foul of the recent lua changes. I will check at the weekend.
Also Azum has fixed the FortificationYield promotion table in the 4.19 version so we can actually remove some lua here and let the AI know about garrisoning their units (to the extent they are able)

 

[azum4roll]

That's very unlikely to be part of the Economic/Homeland AI.

Would this include any Unique Improvements that replace Citadels or provide Combat Strength Boosts when stationed on them i.e. Shoshone Encampments?

 

[hokath]

yes, it includes all "fortifications" like Chateau and so forth.

In Canada's case, I think pdan intended for the yields to be given to the city so you don't have to work the forts (and they don't have to be in working range).

Yes, precisely. The core idea is that the forts have to be owned and manned, but they don’t have to be worked.

The easter egg unique component Avro Arrow which replaces the Jet Fighter felt kind of mediocre, but of course now that I check I realize it's not meant to be a proper UU.

... it could be made to be an actual UU by being unlocked earlier than the Jet Fighter, at Satellites tech instead of Lasers. Even then a often cited potential factor in the Arrow's downfall was the launch of Sputnik indicating a coming Soviet priority shift from nuclear bombers to nuclear missiles, which could use a mention in the civilopedia entry if it actually gets one.
Problem with very late-game UUs is that one might never get around to using them. But by being unlocked at Satellites it would come with an otherwise non-mil tech, so if Canada's going for a more peaceful defensive playstyle, they don't have to go out of their way to pick up Lasers (which is almost entirely offensive mil focused) to use the Arrow.
And of course it could also get free Interceptor (and maybe Range) promotions in exchange for slightly reduced strength across the board.

Food for thought if there is ever Vox Populi 5UC or 6UC update I guess
