Jarcast & pineappledan's Hittites

[CromulentRomulan]

Proposed changes definitely address the power levels. I like that gaining supply from winning wars is a new incentive for the Civ. the war supply counting towards production of all units is a pretty big part of their strength
With their power reined in on other aspects of their kit I wonder if its worth changing the UA influence steal to simply equal the war score of the war? You have to exceed 25 war score to proc the ability and outside of the early eras + 12 influence (and a 25 swing respective to your defeated combatant) doesn't feel like much. I'll admit I have no idea how the +1 influence per turn would play out over the course of a game, and how it compares to Civs like Germany/Siam.

Not sure if I mentioned it already but the music selections for this Civ are excellent - feel of a piece with existing soundtrack and enjoyable to listen to

I suggest we scrap the minimum, if the influence steal moves to the UNW.

Even at half, on a standard game with 16 CS, a 100 war score win is 800 influence for you. Even distributed as it is, it’s an enormous reward. It’s also stolen influence, so it’s a combined delta of 100 influence in that respect, though that might be only situationally relevant.

The WC vote is pretty crucial to the civ's late-game prospects. It's useless early, but very powerful latter. I'd keep it.

Playing these guys at the moment and having a blast.
Big VP shine-up design-wise from what this was before---never a Civ I liked very much in BnW for some reason.
They might well be too strong, I'm not really sure but I feel pretty beefy and the UA is letting me crank out units (~+100 prod in early Renaissance) when they come for me with the pitchforks.
On the one hand I haven't won many wars, on the other hand I have diplomatically outmanoeuvred my continent. Neither probably representative of an average game.
If I had to suggest a nerf it might be to make the UA production (Max Supply - Used Supply), so it gets weaker as I max out the army. Just a suggestion.
Well done on a great job!

I'm getting frequent CTDs with this mod and i can't load savegames without crashing. Can anyone confirm they have problems too? (VP 3.9.1 and newest Version of this mod)

Would this be compatible with VP 4.X.X?
