Est-ce qu'il y a un plafond on the UA or does it just keep scaling? Seems like it could hit a very high %?

 

[Urzamax]

Yeah, without a cap on the UA scaling, I suspect that Tradition Phillipe will hit 20% by Renaissance (assuming a couple of GPs and a GG or two) and just go up from there. I look forward to sharing my findings of just how gloriously broken this might get!

 

[gwennog]

You are right I think, after several tests, it can go very (too) high. We will have to limit. Any feedback of game will be welcome.

 

[Urzamax]

Also, just a phrasing thing, "Improvement of Great Person" should probably be "Great Person Improvements" for clarity and standardisation.

 

[trinket]

just to clarify, does the 1% increase last for only 10 turns as well?

 

[pineappledan]

does this turn Napoleon off? They use all the same civilian UCs

Yes, Thank you.

 

[gwennog]

No, definitely

 

[gwennog]

does this turn Napoleon off? They use all the same civilian UCs

Yes, of course.
My goal has long been to replace Napoleon as leader of France in Civ. It is therefore a rework with a figure more representative of my country to my taste. Although in view of recent elections, certain criticizable genes seem well anchored in French DNA .

 

[hokath]

And the unique cannon promotions, which are conserve/perdu on upgrade? I assume the March one is lost?

By the way, the icons are glorious! I love the training dummy, and the cannonball explosion is spectacular.

 

[gwennog]

And the unique cannon promotions, which are conserve/perdu on upgrade? I assume the March one is lost?

Feu Nourri is preserved, it is a promotion linked more to the use of cannons by Napoleon than to the Gribeauval system itself. However, the field gun that comes next cannot be anything other than the 75 mm cannon for France. A gun once considered very technically advanced and with an inimitable rate of fire.

For standardization (March) indeed it is an oversight on my part, in the presentation but also in the game (a v.2 will be needed quickly), it is a promotion which must be lost. Thanks for your question.

By the way, the icons are glorious! I love the training dummy, and the cannonball explosion is spectacular.

Many thanks to you, it means a lot to me. I owe you promotions for your mod: Devotion Ideology, I will try to do as well. Unfortunately, I am not as consistent in quality as Asterix Rage was, but I will put my heart into the work.

 

[gwennog]

Furthermore, I'm asking the question to the many modders more talented than me. For the Château, I wanted to make a variation of appearance (Motte Castrale/Château fort/Manoir) but I did not succeed using ArtDefine_Landmarks as said by Vern under discord. Does anyone know how to do it?

Example of replacing chateau model with fort model at industrial:

UPDATE ArtDefine_Landmarks SET Era = 'Ancient' WHERE ImprovementType = 'ART_DEF_IMPROVEMENT_CHATEAU';
INSERT INTO ArtDefine_Landmarks(Era, State, Scale, ImprovementType, LayoutHandler, ResourceType, Model, TerrainContour)
VALUES
('Industrial', 'UnderConstruction', 1, 'ART_DEF_IMPROVEMENT_CHATEAU', 'SNAPSHOT', 'ART_DEF_RESOURCE_ALL', 'Assets/Buildings/Improvements/Fort/Modern/HB_Fort_MOD.fxsxml', 0),
('Industrial', 'Constructed', 1, 'ART_DEF_IMPROVEMENT_CHATEAU', 'SNAPSHOT', 'ART_DEF_RESOURCE_ALL', 'Assets/Buildings/Improvements/Fort/Modern/Fort_MOD.fxsxml', 0),
('Industrial', 'Pillaged', 1, 'ART_DEF_IMPROVEMENT_CHATEAU', 'SNAPSHOT', 'ART_DEF_RESOURCE_ALL', 'Assets/Buildings/Improvements/Fort/Modern/PL_Fort_MOD.fxsxml', 0);

Thank you @L. Vern .
I had tested the same thing as you but with the following eras: Classical, Medieval, Renaissance. Without success.
Either I made a mistake (but the database is correctly filled), or it does not accept other eras than ancient and industrial.

 

[YoullPay4ThisInTime]

Looking good. Tempted to start a game with this civ. Should I wait for the update or start now ?

This weekend without fail I will publish a nerfed version, it's up to you .

 

[azum4roll]

There's a Tech column you can use in ArtDefine_Landmarks.

Yes, Vern showed it to me. I did not see . Thank you
