[Extension] Few More Buildings for VP

[gwennog]

Finally, I Changed some things for Ski Resort :

• +2 Tourism and + 2 Culture by mountain
• Delete luxury resource (Mulled Wine) and add +1 Happiness
• Rework slightly the icon.

Finally, I Changed some things for Ski Resort :

All Mulled_Wine_x.dds still in \art !?

+1 Happiness

And why not -1 unhapiness caused by specialists ?
(NoUnhappfromXSpecialists = '1')
It would make the building really valuable

I voluntarily left the material and the code of the previous version as a comment for some people who would prefer it. I can clean up if you prefer.

And why not -1 unhapiness caused by specialists ?
(NoUnhappfromXSpecialists = '1')

Good idea. At first glance, I said to myself OK, but how can I justify it (the +1 Happiness is for fun in ski resort) but in the end, it is mostly wealthy people (specialists) who go skiing so it seems not bad. I change that.

 

[Asterix Rage]

how can I justify it

No need to justify.

Currently, VP is very punishing toward crowded cities and conquest.
Few-more-buildings-for-vp should take the opportunity of counterbalance this. Too much flat hapinesses is useless.

Useless .dds/.jpg files makes the final pack big for nothing.

Good reason.

New version (v 210104) of few More Buildings Pack that include a new Ski Resort Building version (v 2.1) by gwennog
Much better IMO...

Just notice that cemetery counts upgrading unit as dying (gives faith)

@gwennog
Yeah I notice this cemetry gives faith very (too?) often.

Yes, I use PreKill fonction and an upgrade considers that the unit is killed to move on to the next one.
I don't know how to avoid this but I didn't look around much because I consider it to make sense. It is not necessarily lancers who become tank drivers, they pass to posterity when they die and their regiment retains their combat skills.

Maybe this code we used in MUCfVP will help you:

local ePromotionCaptives = GameInfoTypes.PROMOTION_UNIT_AZTEC_CAPTIVES_OF_WAR

-- 50% chance to spawn worker unit on kill by an Eagle
function OnCombatEndSpawnWorker(iAttackingPlayer, iAttackingUnit, iAttackerDamage, iAttackerFinalDamage, iAttackerMaxHP, iDefendingPlayer, iDefendingUnit, iDefenderDamage, iDefenderFinalDamage, iDefenderMaxHP, iInterceptingPlayer, iInterceptingUnit, iInterceptorDamage, iPlotX, iPlotY)
    local pAttackingPlayer = Players[iAttackingPlayer]
   
    if not (pAttackingPlayer and (iDefenderFinalDamage >= iDefenderMaxHP)) then return end
   
    local pAttackingUnit = pAttackingPlayer:GetUnitByID(iAttackingUnit)

    if pAttackingUnit ~= nil and pAttackingUnit:IsHasPromotion(ePromotionCaptives) then
        if Game.Rand(4, "Eagle capture roll") == 1 then
            local pNewWorker = pAttackingPlayer:InitUnit(GameInfoTypes.UNIT_WORKER, iPlotX, iPlotY)

    end

GameEvents.CombatEnded.Add(OnCombatEndSpawnWorker)

It was initially different promotion, but mechanics used checks if defender is killed. In your case it should be the attacker who is checked. And afair this code is needed too:

--Koa's bleeding and others
UPDATE CustomModOptions    SET Value = 1 WHERE Name = 'EVENTS_RED_COMBAT';
UPDATE CustomModOptions    SET Value = 1 WHERE Name = 'EVENTS_RED_COMBAT_RESULT';
UPDATE CustomModOptions    SET Value = 1 WHERE Name = 'EVENTS_RED_COMBAT_ENDED';

While my cities build Clock Towers, there's no picture on their City Banner, just blackness. Does that happen for anyone else?

Yes

I think that would be nice if cemetery will give something for spy killing.

Really like the new buildings, especially the ski resort which I think could be integrated into VP. I noticed something while going over the database though, ski resort has "20" as HurryCostModifier, all other buildings have "-20". I haven't tested it but I suspect that's a typo.

I'm sorry, it seems complicated to me and then the spies do not have a funeral with great fanfare . Their deaths are discreet and states do not usually announce it.

Thank you, a collaboration of @Asterix Rage and me.

Yes, thank you very much for the remark, I will correct that.

 

[pineappledan]

You have to actually work the mountain for the ski resort, rather than it giving yields for each nearby mountain? That sounds a lot weaker than I thought.

I do think it might be a good idea to add a ski resort as an atomic building, though it’s strength and abilities could be debated. There is a lot of empty space in that era.
