I tried it and it works perfectly so far.
The only issue is the music.
When "entering the world" the civ music will not start but instead will keep looping the menu music, until I meet a civ and its theme will play instead.
Other then that it's a fun civ.

 

[jarcast2]

Little update.
Forgot to add IsMounted=1 to Naabaahii.

I'm playing Navajo, I like this civ .
@jarcast2 , for the music, just a little error, you called the civ in the denomination, not the leader.
With the name of the leader it works

Update online.
Music fixed.
Thanks @gwennog .

 

[gwennog]

@jarcast2 , just a quick note. For GMusicians points, you chose a progression in the lua via "ChangeSpecialistGreatPersonProgressTimes100".
Why not use a dummy building progression that would allow you to benefit from the 25% bonus from Artistry?

And, I may be misunderstanding, but each city is missing 1 GMusician point. I think that's where it comes from:

local bonusMusician = (iNumHogan -1)*GMusP

but it may be intentional.

The Hogan building adds the first point, that's why it's n-1.
In my experience dummy buildings adding great person points seems to not stack, that's why I use lua that looks cleaner.

OK, thank you. It was the little pop-up that misled me.

Yes, sorry, I won't bother you with that anymore; we've already discussed it.
For VP, it was fixed maybe a year or two ago but I couldn't find the version. In my version of France under Philippe Auguste, the castles do the same thing as Hogan, and it works very well.

function GPPForChateau(iPlayer)  
    local pPlayer = Players[iPlayer]

    if not pPlayer then return end  
   
    local NumChateau = pPlayer:CountAllImprovement(iChateau)
   
    if NumChateau < 1 then return end
   
    for pCity in pPlayer:Cities() do
        local NumCityChateau = pCity:CountNumWorkedImprovement(iChateau, false)      
        if NumCityChateau > 0 then
            pCity:SetNumRealBuilding(iDummyBuildingForArtist, NumCityChateau)
            pCity:SetNumRealBuilding(iDummyBuildingForWriter, NumCityChateau)
            pCity:SetNumRealBuilding(iDummyBuildingForMusician, NumCityChateau)
        end
    end
end

Thanks. I will look into it.

Update online.
I followed gwennog's advice and changed the lua function for Musician points given by Hogan.

 

[Relatyve Mind]

I can’t figure out whether this is best played with Tradition or Progress. Hell, the faith on kills promotion means you could make an argument for Authority. Anyone got advice?

I think theyre pretty flexible depending on whats around you, in mine I had a fairly successful tradition>artistry game with all the extra great works.

 

[Relatyve Mind]

I am playing a Tradition game with the Dine. One bug: My Navajo weavers UB still have an Engineer specialist instead of the Artist (I cleared my cache before the current game, so hopefully not a mod incompatibility.) Also, I have every intention of digging around for some appropriate music to suggest to you.

Other than those two small issues, I think this is just the coolest civ. But then, I'm New Mexican, so a little biased.

The UB is coded correctly to have an artist slot, it's likely a bug/compatibility issue with the Workshop-Windmill swap included in Hokath Enlightenment Era mod.

I'm glad you like the civ

 

[Relatyve Mind]

Ah. Yeah I use EE and Hokath's Changes. Is there anything that you can do?

 

[jarcast2]

Ah. Yeah I use EE and Hokath's Changes. Is there anything that you can do?

It's better if @hokath adds the compatibility in his file.
Try replacing this in the Enlightenment Era mod SQL folder.

Edit: removed attachment.

 

[Relatyve Mind]

Thanks a ton, Jarcast

@jarcast2 that seems to have turned all engineer specialists everywhere into artists...quite an interesting change lol. I cleaned the cache and the issue remains

 

[Relatyve Mind]

I think this civ has a couple thematic issues and I wanted to make a few suggestions:

1. The faith on kill is both really powerful and really not original or thematic for the Navajo. That should just be the Celts' thing, and the Navajo are founding a religion way too easily right now. Instead, in combat they should focus on defending their lands (aka the desert/plains combat bonus + hogans' defensive bonus) because of how notoriously difficult the Navajo were to conquer.

2. The whole civ needs to feel more "desert" (I say this as a New Mexican). Technically, the Navajo lands are mostly what we call "high desert": think less sand and more endless scrub grass, mesquite (the most unkillable bush ever), yucca (a spikey succulent), arroyos, etc. But desert is the closest we can get, since plains is much more common in-game and would make the Navajo OP (and like the Shoshone). My suggestions for making the Navajo feel more desert is to give more incentive to put hogans on desert, up their desert tile bonus to at least +1 prod, +1 food, or even +1 culture as well.

3. Give the blanket-weavers (at'loo) a +1 culture, +1 prod to hogans. Maybe even exchange it for the +1 to deserts and plains, if you're worried about these being too strong (they *are* quite strong). If you see any pictures of hogans, they have the blankets over the entrance (and inside a lot) as a door.

Thanks as always for your amazing work, Jarcast.

1. I don't think a faith bonus from combat makes founding a religion that easier. The fact the Celts have it doesn't exclude other civs from having it, too. The UA promotion gives a combat bonus in Plains and Deserts, the main terrains of Diné lands.
   
   
2. Differentiate improvement yields based on terrain is not possible with SQL because there's no associated table. Ironically one can put a bonus based on adjacent terrain but not on the terrain of the improvement plot. I gave the +1 Food bonus with lua, but if it is a SQL table coded in DLL the AI cannot recognize it, so I could add with lua more yields but they won't be factored in the improvement placing strategy of AI.
   
   
3. I think boosting terrain is better than boosting just an improvement.
