Created Mod, please check out and help improve!

[Lt. 'Killer' M.]

Here`s a small mod I made which isn`t ready for the Mods forum yet. (So Horsie, please don`t move this thread yet! )

edit: upload didn`t work, file`s in next reply! sorry!

I intended to maximize fun and the ability to use many different playing styles using 1.21. I did not want to add units or make deep changes in the way civ works, just finetune the existing modfile. All I did was adjust things in the editor to get the AI to behave smarter. I wanted to discourage the AI from ridiculous landgrabbing, from tech whoreing and from ignoring the ancient age.

Please, everyone, try it out and tell me what you think!

Changes:
see below for list of changes and current version of mod!!!

I`d love to have this checked out and improved by you all!

Just to let you know that someone out here appreciates your work Killer. I just d/loaded your zip file and I aim to try out the mod this coming weekend.

Even though you're at least 3 notches up from me in skill, I believe we have the same likes/dislikes about the game, so I will give this a go. Shouldn't be too long, the AI just opened a large can of whoop-ass on me in my current game....

Hehe, i don`t think I`m any notches up on you. But thanx for trying, I hope it works for you. just remember to turn animate battles off!

I made some more changes, but none of them really important, just minor stuff like bombardment for archers, more punch for battleships and nuke subs. I`ll upload tomorrow to the original post.

some further changes and the new version:

Ancient tech except Monarchy and Republic + ~1/3 cost.
Max research time 50 turns.
Hills can be irrigated
Tundra gives no food
Resources give more bonus (now it`s worth fighting for them even if they aren`y strategic)
AI-AI trade is 100% on Regent, 110% on Monarch and so on.
Bombard changed accordingly.
2 new cultural levels, 1 at 5:2, one at 3:2 so rate can be judged better.

- more Uumpfff for battleships (bombard now 1,5 times that of cruisers,
- age bonus (1 to 4 HP) for advanced units,
- better attack for nuke subs and subs,
- changed HP to conscript=4, regular=6, veteran=8, elite=11
- changed bombardment accorgingly,
- added bombardment for all bow-equipped units and all fast units with guns plus tank and Modern armour,
- added free units / town for Republic since now often Monarchy is preferable over Republic because of large Military.

Tundra gives now nothing (not even commerce!)

Desert gives 1 prod when mined nothing else.

Corruption is 75% for all levels (I`m fed up with size 8 cities 10 tiles from capital producing 1 shield in GA!)

This looks interesting. I will try it out after I finish my current game.
