[MOD] Mod Request: Keeping tech and civics close.

[Lo77o]

Most of the games i play i either run way way ahead in tech, or i get way way behind. Is there a way to set up a simple mod, where everyone gets a tech and civcs boost depending on how far behind every one else you are. Im tired of seeing civ's run around with a 2-3 era gap between them in units.

There has to be a way to adjust the bonus you get to research for falling behind. And the same for Civis.

If I were to do it, I would probably just make an lua script that checked the current era of players and then adjust or boost the ones behind.

The thing is, back in Civ 5, you got a boost on your tech if you were behind. And im not sure if that is still part of the game in Civ 6. But if it is, there has to be a modifier somewhere i can fiddle with.

there is a HIGH_DIFFICULTY_SCIENCE_SCALING you might be able to mess around with
there are also quite a few technology boosts, but don't think they'll do what your looking for

Spoiler examples :

<ModifierId>HIGH_DIFFICULTY_SCIENCE_SCALING</ModifierId>
<ModifierType>MODIFIER_PLAYER_CITIES_ADJUST_CITY_YIELD_MODIFIER</ModifierType>
<OwnerRequirementSetId>PLAYER_IS_HIGH_DIFFICULTY_AI</OwnerRequirementSetId>

HIGH_DIFFICULTY_FREE_TECH_BOOSTS
HIGH_DIFFICULTY_FREE_CIVIC_BOOSTS

Been fiddling around a bit with these, but what you linked seems to be the "bonus" the AI gets from difficulty settings. And that not excatly what im looking for. I want a way to increase research and civic output of nations who are falling behind in any given game. No matter what the difficulty setting is set at, and no matter if its an AI player or human player.

 

[gyogen2]

I thought maybe if you changed or removed the high difficulty and the REQUIRES_PLAYER_IS_AI it could be modified to fit what you wanted, though I could be misunderstanding.

Your most likely right. But if so, it is well beyond my capability. Im very new at modding, so my skill set is very limited. But thanks for the help anyways, it is very much appriciated.
