[DOTO] Dawn Of The OverLords

Offly quiet here...

Oh well.
I had another new game play idea.

Population and units cap rate.
How about have a cap for a city that allowes it to have population x unit count limit.
For example, a 1 population is worth,
10 units.
Other ideas in that area that im toying with could be fun.

How about a global food storage/sharing instead?

hi @<Nexus> ,
thanks for replying.

well, another global resource is interesting. though, using per city unit count could be more controllable.
with population rate to unit count.
i always disliked that late game has a billion units.
so having a limit, could be nice.

of course , small city empires would suffer from the limit more vs large empires, but then again, its the same when a large empire attacks a small one anyway.

in that regards, in my current siege ranged unit rules, units have an attack cool down.
i kinda liked this idea.
how about attrition to all unit that enforcer an attack cool down? might stop stacks of doom a bit.

I don't know. The game already has way of controlling army size based on population size:

Unit Maintenance Explained - CivFanatics

As I didn't see an article covering the unit maintenance and did see a few questions about this subject, I thought about researching it myself. I hope it will be useful to some people. The first section of this article is about the in-game information of unit costs and how to read it correctly. The

I think it may be easier to just tinker with that first, rather than writing new code.

 

[keldath]

Read it, ty.

Yeah money is used to limit units.
But most games and late game, there's lots of it.
I thought more in the direction of units caps.

So I was thinking about this idea and was wondering what the right ratio would be:

10units/1pop

Number of cities	Average city size	Unit cap
1	1	10
1	10	100
10	10	1000

I think it is clear that a 10U/1P limit is no limit.
Let's try a different ratio...


4units/1pop

Number of cities	Average city size	Unit cap
1	1	4
1	10	40
10	10	400

I think this ratio is even worse, because it's too restrictive in the early game but still too big in the later game.
So maybe a different calculation is needed, if possible.

I've been having an issue with the download link. Links for versions 1.10-1.12 don't seem to work for me. Looking forward to trying this mod!

HI,
if you having issues let me know ill upload to some other hosting site.

 

[Lich_Lord]

Yes if you could upload to a different site that'd be great. I tried the link again and its still not working for me.

Does this mod exist separately? I wanted to try it in another modification

 

[keldath]

hi,

ill upload a new link soon with some final addition from advc 109 version.

i think it does somewhere in the forums, either on mod parts or leaders and civs.
i cant recall, youll have to go over the pages..

 

[keldath]

hi,
updated to version 112a.
includes some minor advc updates.

ill upload to another service later on.

This was temporary. Maybe the repository link has a temporary error.

record amount of mod downloads for a long time now.

anyone wants me to add stuff/tweak stuff.

let me know.

 

[<Nexus>]

anyone wants me to add stuff/tweak stuff.

let me know.

How about a New XML tag that has a similar purpose as iDefense but gunpowder units won't ignore it.
So you could Trenches and later Energy Shields around the city, and still have defences. What do you think?

48 civ dll would be great

humm what do you mean- another tag that will set the defense strength?
not sure i got it fully, could you elaborate\?

thats easy to add.

Yes, another tag to set defence strength but one that is not ignored by gunpowder units. So it would be a tag that is useful in modern eras too.

 

[keldath]

well i could do that,
but i feel it will need me to go over all the power calcs of ai and some other code stuff.

im a bit off civ and mostly wish to do tweaks to existing stuff in my mod...
