Extraction Outpost TI

Extraction Outpost

DOWNLOAD​

This is a little mod for the late game when you are in need of Strategic Resources but it's too inconvenient to settle new Cities just for that.

Features:

• Late Recon Units (Paratrooper, Special Forces, XCOM Squad) may be expended to create an Extraction Outpost improvement on any Strategic Resource in neutral lands to connect them (it also claims the tile).
• Extraction Outpost unlocks at Flight together with Paratrooper.

Credits: DJSHenninger for the TI model.

Really neat idea.

Nice idea. However is it possible to sieze control of this resource tile from another player?

The AI is using this improvement as well, however not to its advantage:

And my game is currently in the Renaissance Era, still a long way to discover Flight.

Or is it a Unique City States for VP problem ?

No. The outpost claims only neutral tiles and once it is claimed, only a Citadel can steal it. It's first come first serve.

Loading the latest version of UCS doesn't change any related database entry.
So some dumbfounding shenanigans are happening here.
And that seems not the only problem.
IIRC on top of the picture there is a Mound improvement (uses the Motte-bailey graphics) that is only buildable by allying Cahokia, I doubt a city state could do that.

No, this is just an ordinary Motte-and-Bailey Fort. I am playing with the Iconian's Fortifications changes (v 2) Mod.

Can you load the game you are playing that gives the issue (until the DoM screen is fine) then go to "Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 5\cache" folder and send me the "Civ5DebugDatabase.db" file?
I would like to inspect it.

I uploded the Civ5DebugDatabase.db here, the last post at th moment:

First time as I use this mod, my paratrooper was over pillaged pasture in a conquered city area and I was able to build it. It is possible to build on your own territory and yields are much better than on pasture.

At the moment I'm on a modding break, but I plan to exclude the improvement from being buildable in owned lands.

Update online.
Changelog:

• now outpost can be built only in neutral lands.
• added a setting where players can choose between the 2 available models.

Default is the original simpler model (less memory required) but to switch to the model in v2 you open "Graphic_Settings.sql" with notepad and change the value from 0 to 1.

What does the new model look like?

not to be a downer but i suppose this means AI use is not expected??? or are they able to do this now?

This is the more complex model.

Honestly I don't know if AI uses it, VP-improved AI may be able to create outposts.
But yes, in principle the mod is mostly a convenience for human players.
