Hi guys,
as I promised, here is my first attempt to mod Civ IV and its most beautiful mod, RoM. It's a simple one, basically changing some XML values. My goal here is to harden the managing of large armies, as some of us discussed here. Thanks for the kind support I found there, mainly by vincentz.
Don't be scared, the average of the increase is not 300%, is around 30% to 60%, varying with the difficult level and the civics. But waging a war beyond borders will be much more expensive, so reconsider before invade some neighbour.
Almost forgetting, I have two requests to make to more experienced modders:
- If you like it and want it, make it modular.
- Tell me where to find the "We demand military protection" threshold , in order to enable it only for greater population cities. Or if you desire, do it and share.
Inside the rar file, there's a changelog who tells what parameters I changed and where they are. Look there if you want to understand how the game calculates unit maintenance (thanks for Roland Johansen and his article from 6/21/06, googlable) and if you want change it for the sake of your own taste.
Enjoy!
