Can something be done about the tooltips for unit deaths? When a unit dies it says what type of unit it was and you can ping the location. But you can't see if you was a renamed unit, or if it was what the rename was. It is just standard name of the unit type not the actual unit name if you will. It's sort of important or interesting, for me, since I rename important units such as medic units gets renamed to medic etc. It would be kind of neat if I could know if they had died instead of trying to look around for them and wonder which unit it was that actually died.

Never had that problem with animations on

I never had any problems with animations being so slow, because I just turn them off

You can make a feature request on Github if you like.

VP speeds up air animations, is there a way of speeding up land animations?

 

[balparmak]

VP speeds up air animations, is there a way of speeding up land animations?

You can speed up movement animations and also the refacing animation before combat with only database changes (my modmod can provide an example), but I couldn't find any way to make actual combat animations faster. I'm guessing that requires editing of the animation files themselves.

 

[looorg]

The animations are another chapter I guess, but I do indeed run with the animations off or is it set to quick I don't recall now. The most annoying part I guess are the workboats that sort of hold up the entire system when they are deployed (I guess they redraw the entire map or something?), followed by the missionaries that have to do their whole "light" animation cycle (similar issues to the workboat) -- which can be skipped completely if you just put the missionary in water before activating the ability (very useful when you are spamming them out to convert heretics in other cities).

Hi guys, i have 3 good ideas to implement in vox populi but have no modding experience so i appeal to your skills to see if this is possible;
1; Add energy as a important gameplay feature in late game. Here is the mod: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2183354280&searchtext=energy
2;Add specialist upgrades through guilds but with increased gold and happiness maintenance. The superpowers mod provides a good example of this mechanics.
3;Implement civ 6 corporations and monopolies features such as creation of specialized products and add some mechanics to allow selling and buying the products of other civs.

Regarding 1, I have made the following mod. You can use the code there to make your own mod.

 

[Heloi]

I would love if someone updated JFDs cities in development and made it compatible with current vox populi.

 

[Valvts]

Anybody knows a mod that is like a survival mod against barbarians? Anybody remembers the white walkers mod?

We should have a Manchu civ for VP. That would be a great way to break up the China monolith, and a lot of the assets can be gathered up from the Samurai Invasion of Korea scenario. The Jurchens/Manchus formed 2 dynasties that rules northern China, including the Great Qing, the last imperial dynasty which largely set the borders of modern China. There's also tons of material for them from mods to pull something together that is unique and fun, including a fully voiced and animated 3D leader scene.

Spoiler Existing Manchu Mods :

AisinAlin's Manchu civ with 3D Leader Scene
JFD's Great Qing
JFD's Great Jin
Senshidenshi's Manchus

I can do that. I'll work on this as my next sql civ. If you want, we can also design and work on it together.

 

[pineappledan]

Okay so here is what I have so far for a Manchu civ:

New Cree proposal:
Proposal for a Cree civ:

Spoiler The Cree :

The Cree - led by Poundmaker

UA - Iron Confederacy
+3 Culture and Gold for each unique Luxury Resource you import or export from/to other Civilizations and City-States, scaling with Era. Can import duplicate Luxuries from Civilizations which count toward Monopolies.

New Dutch UA - Wisselbanken
Generates Gold each turn equal to 2% of total Gold reserves, and can enter into Debt at a 2% interest rate. 10% of the Gold spent to purchase Units or invest in Buildings is converted into Culture

• In other words, the Dutch UA allows them to have negative gold.
• negative income still hurts science generation, but doesn't increase Debt. Only purchases do that
• the 1%interest rate is a form of maintenance, like Unit and building maintenance

UI - Mekewap

4​

No defensive Terrain bonuses​

Lightning Warfare - +1 Movement, Ignores ZOC​

Counting Coup - Gains 2 XP if starting its turn next to an enemy unit​

What do you think? I really like the trade aspect of the current Dutch UA, but I think it makes even better thematic sense here on the Cree. The idea of a civ that can just buy things without limit, and pay them off later is a really powerful and flexible ability that I think matches the Dutch really well. It would push them a little more warmonger, so they will get to use their sea beggars more.

Added to next VP version. Example text looks like if you havent renamed them
Your Pathfinder has taken 25 damage
to if you have renamed them
Your Scouterino (Pathfinder) has taken 25 damage.

This will change the text of when you captured Great People as you will see You have destroyed William Howard (Great Diplomat) instead of you have destroyed a Great Diplomat as well.

But is it also on the notification (with the overdramatic sound)?

And why would you ever destroy whoward?
