Very interesting design, really excited to try it

 

[jarcast2]

Little update.
Nerfed yields Kilombo gains on tech deriving from Forts: removed +4 Science at Stealth, +4 Border Growth at Electronics.

 

[Amadhe]

NEW CIV, YIPPEE!!!!

Also, seems like a lovely design for my self imposed OCC challenges :kek:

 

[gwennog]

@jarcast2 , I've started a game, and so far everything's going well, even though I have three Warmongers as neighbors.
I've noticed that my units on Kilombo aren't getting the Mbangala Yijila promotion.

Apparently the promotion doesn't apply automatically to all units on the improvement tile but I have to specify the UnitCombats it applies.

I fixed it and uploaded an update.
For you, you can substitute the file in attachment then reload the game so the fix applies so you can continue the same game.

 

[gwennog]

Cool, thanks a lot.

 

[Urzamax]

Interesting design; odd little issue with the UA in that so far as I've observed, all of the spawned units are all the same randomly-selected combat class, with no respect to the amount of strategics you have, so you can wind up with ten instant knights without sufficient horses.

 

[Bysonte]

Thanks for another banger civ!!
vol.1... that means more coming.
If I had to take a guess... Tamar of Georgia, we still don't have a caucasian civ.

The code gives the strongest land unit conditional on the resources, so it should already take into consideration strategics availability.
Hovewer I put the unit definition outside of the loop that gives the units, so it gives the same units.
I put the code for the strongest unit inside the loop so it has to recompute the strongest unit depending on the new resource availability.

Update v1.3 is online.

Very good choice by the way

Hi again @jarcast2 , For some reason I couldn't figure out in your code, the unit gain loop when war is declared on me runs twice, giving me double the unit.

[9293.171] Jar_Ndongo_Functions: Attacking Civ: Ndongo-Matamba
[9293.171] Jar_Ndongo_Functions: count    4
[9293.171] Jar_Ndongo_Functions: [1] Military Supply: 19/29
[9293.187] Jar_Ndongo_Functions: [2] Military Supply: 20/29
[9293.187] Jar_Ndongo_Functions: [3] Military Supply: 21/29
[9293.203] Jar_Ndongo_Functions: [4] Military Supply: 22/29
[9293.218] Jar_Ndongo_Functions: Attacking Civ: Ndongo-Matamba
[9293.218] Jar_Ndongo_Functions: count    4
[9293.218] Jar_Ndongo_Functions: [1] Military Supply: 23/29
[9293.234] Jar_Ndongo_Functions: [2] Military Supply: 24/29
[9293.234] Jar_Ndongo_Functions: [3] Military Supply: 25/29

Can you give me more details? How many civs are involved in the war?
It's possible that multiple civs declared on you so you receive units for each one, mmhh

 

[gwennog]

Just one Civ delare war to me.
But also a CS. I didn't see anything in your code that excludes the declaration of war from CS, maybe that's it? Should a declaration of war from a CS give units?


For the Basques, I have a fairly simple code that should do the same thing as yours, except it just gives a promotion. It works with a war with/against a major civ but also a minor one.

-- On Declare War by/against Basques, give Babesten Promotion
function WarBeginBabestenPromotion(iTeam, iOtherTeam)
    local pTeam = Teams[iTeam]
    local pOtherTeam = Teams[iOtherTeam]
    local iAttackingPlayer = pTeam:GetLeaderID()
    local pAttackingPlayer = Players[iAttackingPlayer]
    local iPlayer = pOtherTeam:GetLeaderID()
    local pPlayer = Players[iPlayer]
    
    if (pPlayer and pAttackingPlayer and (pPlayer:GetCivilizationType() == eCivilizationBasques or pAttackingPlayer:GetCivilizationType() == eCivilizationBasques)) then
        --print("At War")
        if pPlayer:GetCivilizationType() == eCivilizationBasques then       
            CheckBabestenPromotion(iPlayer)
            --print("At War iPlayer")
        elseif pAttackingPlayer:GetCivilizationType() == eCivilizationBasques then       
            CheckBabestenPromotion(iAttackingPlayer)
            --print("At War iAttackingPlayer")
        end
        
        if pPlayer:IsHuman() or pAttackingPlayer:IsHuman() then
            local sTitle = "At war my Brothers! Protect our Lands!"
            local sText = 'All your land units present in your territory gain [COLOR_POSITIVE_TEXT]Babesten[ENDCOLOR] Promotion'       
            pPlayer:AddNotification(NotificationTypes.NOTIFICATION_GENERIC, sText, sTitle)
        end   
    end
end

            pPlayer:AddNotification(NotificationTypes.NOTIFICATION_GENERIC, sText, sTitle)
        end
    end
end

I tried the same code and it gave me the problem that identified both attacker and defender as Ndongo and I have no idea why.

Highly likely I have to exclude CS.

I wonder if get leader ID gives always 0 or the real playerID...

EDIT:
This should work

if fromPlayerHasTrait and not Players[Teams[toTeamID]:GetLeaderID()]:IsMinorCiv() then
...
elseif toPlayerHasTrait and not Players[Teams[fromTeamID]:GetLeaderID()]:IsMinorCiv() then

 

[gwennog]

This should work

Yes, it works perfectly. I agree with you that we should exclude CS, it already seems very powerful to me.

 

[jarcast2]

It was not my intention to include them: the idea is war against major civs only.
I will add a limit so that in case of war with multiple civs the UA is triggered only once, otherwise it's too powerful.
My idea is to use a dummy building in the capital to mark the UA as used. Once at peace the building is removed.

I agree with you but I'm wondering. If several civs declare war on you at the same time and vice versa, you only gain the army bonus once. But if later you are still at war and civs join the coalition against you, do you gain anything?

Mmm... The civ has to be at peace with everyone major to recharge the UA. So if it's at war then others join nothing should happen.
