Hello and thank you for adapting this Leugi's civ for VP, I love David uniqueness
As I only play Civ5 from time to time- VP and its UI modmods
- , unfortunately I wouldn't be able to appreciate the Civ general balance especially on the hardest difficulties.
But nonetheless I had the chance to test Israel last early summer I think and I found the civ fun and but quite odd, a bit OP on the martial side but meh on the cultural one.
Now I feel his weakness in the field of science typically feels well balanced with his great UU and an Authority start combo plus the fact you can almost freely choose your pantheons to suit your needs (gold, science etc) while being able to found and reform except for very tricky games I guess or difficulty levels I'm too bad to play at.
Your missionaries/ great prophet production and power can go nuts with things like Hagia Sophia or Borobudur and Scholar Priests or Martyrdom combination among others.
And pray the Lord Iron and the good old early wars against Korean or Austrian scum, burn Shoshones
But I wanted to share with you a minor issue I encountered during my last game with VP 2.17 and Israel.
As a matter of fact if you go for "Theocratic Rule" with the event system on you feel screwed. More specifically if you look at Hokath's file called "
TheocraticRule.xml" in "
(7) Community Events (v 4)\XML\Hokath\ReligiousEvents" line 246 and 461 you can see that one of your early/mid religious "choices" offer you a
+2 on every of your temple, always a nice boost to fight boredom when you go wide... and don't play Israel!
I guess there is not much you can do about this but I thought you should be aware of this.

Cheers and keep up the good work!
