Do you predominately play with the 4UC modmod?

The 4UC is a gameplay changing modmod that has seen a large amount of popularity in the community. To the point that some have claimed that the majority of VP players are now using it. So this poll is to see if that is true or not.

Mark "Yes" if you use the 4UC modmod in over 50% of your VP games.
Mark "No" if you do not.

 

[looorg]

yes, never play without it.

 

[Zuizgond]

Yes, there are not enough differences between civilizations without it.

Are there plans to intergrate it and therefore balance it? It would be great then. Currently I don't use it, because of yield inflation, other imbalances that are possible and bugs that I had in the past.

I always play with it on.

Unique Unit/Improvement/Buildings are just really fun to plan around across the game. It dictates where you settle or invest into, as they're quite noticeable powerspikes that are unique to you!
You also have to be wary about the AIs powerspikes too. (I always get bogged by the Celts on the most crucial empire expansion time, I swear to God)

I've been snooping about with the new 4x games like Millennial and Humankind but I feel like the new 4x trend of "Make your own nation by selecting a bonus every era!" doesn't quite gripe with me like the whole, focused power package you get in VP Civ designs.

I've used it ever since I learned of it! I only wish there was a 5th and 6th component mod. What keeps me interested in this game is the differences between civs, so the more the better to me.

 

[ScarletArkyning]

I like it cause it adds more stuff to screw around with. Makes each Civ more unique and gives more ways to play around.

I would be wary of the numbers when interpreting this poll due to selection bias, the population of CFC forum goers is nowhere near a random sample of all VP players.
I'd wager you'd see a much higher proportion of 4UC players here than the population average.

Not happening, until
1. All Lua hackery is implemented in the DLL
2. @pineappledan himself agrees to it

Don't all VP players have to come to CFC forums to get the mod anyway?

@pineappledan are you against it?

that doesn't mean they pay attention to the discussion threads tho
in fact, you don't even need to have an account to dl the mod

Do we have a better measurement?

3. Get all the permissions from all the other art and code contributors again

It's one thing for another modder to allow someone to use some of their art in a mod. It's another thing for that mod to get rolled into the community patch.
I'm not against it, but I'm not the only person who needs to be asked.

 

[CppMaster]

3. Get all the permissions from all the other art and code contributors again

Is it feasible to do? If not then it's blocked, correct?

 

[pineappledan]

It’s likely that most would agree and that the a handful of components a substitute would have to be chosen or replacement art assets would have to be made.

 

[CppMaster]

Ok then! so...

 

[azum4roll]

Oh I forgot the most important part:
Is anyone willing to do the integration?

If proposed, does this require a supermajority to pass? (changing the core 2UC per civ thing)

 

[axatin]

I can help with moving lua code to the dll. That‘s probably a lot of work and we need several people for it.

 

[pineappledan]

I would say so.
