And that one of those DLCs isn't a "Contemporary Age" with the most boring civs imaginable.And pray that the stream of DLCs doesn't end.
[Mod Potential] 4 Age systems: Add Medieval Between Antiquity and Exploration Age.
- Thread starter Lonecat Nekophrodite
- Start date
It is about Buddhism coming out of India and into China and the rest of east Asia.
Being within the framework of Age 1 expansion, Age 2 consolidation, Age 3 expansion, Age 4 consolidation, as far as the religion game goes, I would think that the second age would focus on initial founding and generally passive expansion of religions (aka no missionaries) and not necessarily replacing other religions. Maybe religions spread through narrative events based upon your civ/leader's traits? Militaristic? Crusade/Arab conquests narrative can be an option. Cultural? Narrative events that focus on building religious wonders. Have religions coexist in settlements with bonuses associated with each religion as defined by the founding civ. Maybe limit the number of religions so not every civ can found one?
In age three, bring on the aggressive gameplay of removing other religions through proselytizing, reformation, inquisitions, wars of religion, reconquista, etc. and the player is rewarded for having their religion being dominant. If religions are limited, make founding cities less important (or not a thing) in age 3 and let the civ decide what religion they want to follow (or reform) during that age.

Written in the 16th century, but about the pilgrimage that happened in the 7th century.

I feel like the University is a quintessential Medieval building, so I'd personally move that back to Age 2 and combine it with the College already there. That still leaves the Observatory and Printing House as science buildings for Age 3.
The food and happiness building could be a Hospital, whereas a Hotel/Casino works better in the Modern.

How can I forgot Hospital in this new Age 3?
And with this. Scriptorium is the Age 2 Science building.
mmm if Hotel shouldn't be here. Which building should be here and serves the same function instead ?
Yeah, I mean the Scriptorium could be the Tier 1 Science building and the University the Tier 2 Science building.
I mean the Hospital could replace the Hotel/Casino as they have yielded food and happiness in past games, like Civ 5, and the Hotel/Casino could move to a later age. Though maybe happiness and gold work better for them instead of food.

I associate Redcoats more with the British Empire, than just strictly England.
Instead, I might use the term Yeoman. The original Yeoman were Longbowmen in the Middle Ages, but you could base these off of the Yeoman of the Guard, created in 1485 and still in use today. Not to mention they were the original users of the '"redcoats".

But Yeomanry are a kind of elite guards.
Also Redcoats were actually originated from Cromwell's New Model Army raised by the Parliamentarians in the English Civil War.
New Model Army - Wikipedia

It was an elite guard that still participated in battles. They initially wore the color red too, even if the New Model Army fully adopted it later.
Anyways, I would think a Redcoat unit makes more sense in a 4th age, with it being under Great Britain, instead of Age 3 England, personally.
What makes you think this? Curious what five ages would look like (Antiquity, Classical, Medieval, Exploration, Modern?)
Five ages: Antiquity (Bronze age), Classical (Iron age), Feudal-renaissance , Exploration, and Modern. If you look at the tech tree the classical age ends with iron working when most of the civs are based on their iron age versions. Exploration ends with gun powder which actually should be the end of the feudal-renaissance period. My theory is they realized that the bronze age would only have about 6-8 civs. So they collapsed the bronze and iron age together to form the existing classical. They then collapsed feudal and exploration together to make the existing exploration. Probably because Humankind was a flop.
