Also note that many more features and additions are planned, including more of everything. Enjoy!

About CivMore

CivMore is a mod with a single purpose: to promote strategic choices. It attempts to do this through two primary means:

More Content: Strategic choice cannot exist without options. CivMore adds dozens of new options to all aspects of the game (Specialists, Buildings, Wonders, Units, Promotions, Civics, etc.). These new options open up a wealth of strategic decisions: Which do I build first? Which wonder is more important to me? Economy or Science? Agriculture or Production? Do I promote my unit down a single path to make him invincible in a specific area but weak in others, or do I make him meager but well rounded? The choices are virtually infinite! Additionally, all first tier civics now have no upkeep, and any no upkeep civic has been increased to low upkeep; as such, each one now is a potential candidate, depending on circumstances (there is no longer one civic in each category that is always the worst, nor one that is always the best)!

Deeper Contrasts: The second fundemental aspect of promoting strategic decisions involves forcing more balanced and varied advantages and disadvantages for each option. Many of these contrasts come in the form of opportunity costs (eg, I can only build one thing at a time; which should I prioritize?) and obvious upkeep costs (ie, for civics and units), but CivMore attempts to take it one step further. Most of the new options have been designed to lend themselves to specific stratagies, impose penalties, or simply require more resources (many old items have been modified to these specifications as well). For instance, the new Colosseum Wonder can all but end unhappiness in a city when the culture rate is increased moderatly, but virtually useless if the culture rate is set at 0. In another example, each 'vs. unit type' promotion (ie, Cover, Shock, Formation, etc.) now have up to four levels, with the final level giving your units a whopping combined +200% versus the specific unit type, but actually reduces your abilities against other unit types by 10%. In yet another example, the new Temple Of Artemis wonder provides an early opportunity to boost a cities size dramatically, but introduces a potentially rampant health and happiness dilemma.

Other Important Notes and Changes: It has always bothered me that it was so easy to maintain a 100% science rate and still be bringing in 20+ gold per turn and maintaining complete happiness amongst your population. To that end, virtually all maintenence cost aspects of the game have been dramatically increased. Primarly, this includes increased city maintenence costs, increased civic upkeep costs, and a reduced number of free unit maintenence costs. Additionally, the culture rate modifier has become more of a necessity, due to the dramatically larger cities possible, and CivMore's increased war weariness rates.

[Thasis]

This certainly does look wicked. I'm doing something similiar except maybe a little more drastic. Going to take a long time to do what I'm planning though

 

[Good Sauce]

The civics screen is imporoperly sized, the cancel buttone is outside my screen so it can't be clacked on. Changing civics will lock you in the screen. Also at load there are some missing XML files, I think about the new Great People.
Looks good though, no complaints as it is alpha stage.

 

[rockinroger]

looks interesting, i wil try it. let you know, how it goes

 

[Aranor]

Looks very interesting! You have done a great deal of work here My only real critisism would be your "Darwin's Voyage" Wonder could probably be renamed Thoery of Evolution as in previous Civ games Just to make more sense. Otherwise great work!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Pegasos]

Looks good (to copy things to my mod ) Seriously, I would like to try it out, but IMHO you should reduce the maintance and civic costs etc. back to normal. Personally I have difficulties to keep my economy balanced and increased costs will make my game very difficult. I think I should "fix" it a little bit

I originally sized the civics screen to my 1280x1024 resolution; changing this to auto-size based on the resolution is one of the (many) things that I have yet to do with it. In the mean time, all of my changes were made using variables set at the beginning of the files; you can change the self.W_SCREEN and self.H_SCREEN variables in CvCivicsScreen.py to better suit your resolution.

As far as the XML errors are concerned, the gameplay is not affected at all. The two new great people (Great General and Great Agriculturalist) have Unit AI tags that aren't in the game, but that cannot be added until the SDK is available. The game treats these units as though NONE had been specified (don't worry; they still know how to use at least some of their functions properly).

Thanks for the feedback!

That was how I was going to do it originally, but my hesitation was that a 'Theory' would be more of a science or tech-related than a physical accomplishment or wonder. Any further thoughts on this?

Thanks for the feedback!

Personally I have difficulties to keep my economy balanced and increased costs will make my game very difficult. I think I should "fix" it a little bit

While my reasoning seemed fair (as discussed in the first post), I had the same fear that you have with the economy: that it would be impossible to keep things balanced. I think, however, that you will find that while the increased costs do keep you from keeping your science at 100% (as intended), that many of the new features and changes of the mod will offset this. For instance:

• Each civic category now has one option that requires no upkeep.
• The new 'Manifest Destiny' Civic eliminates city maintenence costs due to the number of cities, and the new 'Bid for Contract' civic increases trade route yield by +25%.
• Several new buildings help offset costs, including the 'Stock Exchange' (+50% Gold in city) and the 'Super Highway' (+5% Commerce for each Luxury Resource).
• Several wonders also offset the costs, such as Adam Smith's Trading Company (+100% Commerce from Trade Routes) and Fort Knox (+1 Gold per Specialist in All Cities).

Give it a shot! I'm eager to hear your thoughts on this! As I mentioned in the first post, it is still in alpha... things may change! As a matter of fact, I'm looking to make changes, based on other players' suggestions...

Note: For those of you who are waiting for more details on the mod before posting, I will be adding the full list of features within the next couple of hours

The full list of features in CivMore has now been posted (see the second post).

Maybe add a credit list too? Many have helped making stuff you only add.

 

[Pegasos]

Of cource I had to try it out! And found your researh system (+=+5% , -=-5% ) very useful. How ever, my research (and obievously the opponents´ too) was allways 65%-80% and when I found a new city to some stupid island I had to drop it to 55%. I started on medieval (´cos I´m so lazy) and gunpowder was invented in ´bout year 1700!! It is very hard to grow fast if your every city outputs the maintance cost so much that you lose all your money!! I think that´s a problem, huh?
I think that the reason you have science 100% and a huge cash flow is that you dont make cities enough. I personally like to expand and those changes in economy are destroying player´s !
There is however a solve to this problem! If you low the cost of technologies ´bout 25-40% (I think 35 is the best) the technology wont suffer and no-one has 100% and +20 per turn.
Otherwise the conquering of aztecs is still as easy as allways. Thank you!

 

[dalwand]

Just wanted to say that I really like this mod (played a few games). The reason for that is kind of cheezy: I like the agriculturalist. Play an OCC and see how big your city can get...especially after genetics...and I think that is fun. Yes, I am a simple man, with simple joy.

 

[RxP13]

Totally awsome, if you added in the something like the Techslow mod... I would be estatic. really, I would love it so much ^^.

 

[fitchn]

Maybe add a credit list too? Many have helped making stuff you only add.

At this point in the project, every feature and change (including XML, graphics, and python scripting) was done by me alone; I wanted to set the tone of the mod, demonstrate my abilities, and demonstrate that I am fully commited to it before opening it up to the mod community. Granted, many of the features in the mod are similar to other mods and components that others have put forth, but this is purely coincidental.

Your 'Promotions and Perks' mod for instance (nice work, by the way) has many promotions that overlap with some of my new promotions, but (believe it or not) I had already made up a list of most of my promotion ideas back in late October/Early november only weeks after I had purchased the game. I did, however, draw some inspiration for future ideas from your mod, which I will gladly give you full credit for if and when I implement them.

That being said, there are several mods in which I looked at the code to gleam insight as to where to start with some of my own changes (for instance, the Civics screen from Kael's 'Fall from Heaven' Mod and the specialist menu from Snaitf's 'Great General' mod). However, all of my changes where unique and I did not steal, borrow, or otherwise copy any of their scripts. Just to play it safe though, I will go ahead and update the credits portion of my mod and this thread to acknowledge the insights presented by their mods.

I do appreciate your concerns. Rest assured: anyone who provides ideas, code, suggestions, graphics, playtesting, or any other way contributes to this mod will receive full credit for their contributions. I look forward to working more closely with the members of this community to make this mod all that it can be.

Thank you again for your concern.

Edit: The acknowledgements have been added to the first post and to the 'Credits' section of the civilopedia for the next release.

 

[Pegasos]

I think Mark V is in other mod(s) too. For example in Robo Composite. Have you made it´s graphics? I mean when you say that you´ve done everything in this mod yourself.
Well, to the point. I learned using XML a week or two ago and I have some great ideas for the civics. I could make you some and you can then fix them the way you want. I really would like to help you with this.

 

[RogerBacon]

Temple of Artemis (+100% Food Stored After Grouwth; +2 Happy; +6 Culture; +2 GPP; Requires Polytheism)

Won't this mean that the city will grow each turn until it reaches its maximum since each new size only requires 2 more food than the previous size?
