[MOD] Sprawling Civilisation

[Nick Doom]

This post is about the Civ 5 mod I plan to make although it may never get made as my modding skills are limited at best so if any one likes any of the ideas in hear feel free to make a mod for it just remember to post in hear so I can use it
This topic is where I will keep people up-to-date with my endeavours and hopefully fined people who like the ideas and want to help

Sprawling Civilisation
Cities

Spoiler :

No more founding cities with the exception of the capital
Instead settlers can found Hamlets, Market Towns, Ports and Forts.
Inanition Explorers and scouts can found Colonies

Hamlets
Hamlets can only be found when in or adjacent to your culture, within 4 hexes of a City or 3 hexes of another settlement and attest 2 hexes from another settlement
Hamlets have no combat strength and cannot bombarded like cities can
Hamlets can only build a selected building for example a granary
Hamlets can only build civilian units
Hamlets can build Food converting hammers in to food at a low rate that increases with cretin Techs and buildings
Hamlets that reach level 8 in size and are not within 4 hexes city have a chances of becoming a city the larger the hamlet the grater the chances

Market Towns
Market Towns can only be founded when in or adjacent to your culture and attest 2 hexes from another settlement
Market Towns have no combat strength and cannot bombarded like cities can
Market Towns can only build a selected building for example market
Market Towns can only build civilian units
Market Towns can build wealth converting hammers in to coin at a low rate that increases with cretin Techs and buildings
Market Towns that reach level 6 in size and are not within 4 hexes city have a chances of becoming a city the larger the market towns the grater the chances

Ports
Ports can only be founded in or adjacent to your culture, on the cost and attest 2 hexes from another settlement
Ports can only bombarded Navel units
Ports can only build a selected building for example dry dock
Ports can only build Navel units
Ports can build Food converting hammers in to food at a low rate that increases with cretin Techs and buildings
Ports can build XP if a Navel unit is garrisoned within in exchange for hammers at a low rate of exchange improves with tech and buildings
Ports that reach level 4 in size and are not within 4 hexes city have a chances of becoming a city the larger the market towns the grater the chances

Forts
Forts can only be founded in or adjacent to your culture and attest 2 hexes from another settlement
Forts can only bombarded Land units
Forts can only build a selected building for example Barracks
Forts can only build Land units
Forts can build XP if a unit is garrisoned within in exchange for hammers at a low rate of exchange improves with tech and buildings
Forts that reach level 4 in size and are not within 4 hexes city have a chances of becoming a city the larger the market towns the grater the chances

Colonies
Colonies cost gold to maintain
Colonies can only be found outside any counties culture, attest 4 hexes away from a city or a Colony and attest 2 hexes from another settlement
Colonies have no combat strength and cannot bombarded like cities can
Colonies can only build a selected building
Colonies can only build civilian units
Colonies at size 8 turn in to a city

Rivers

Spoiler :

Rivers
Rivers as they are kept but renamed tributary

A new terrain type add called River
Land and can stand on a River tile
Land units cannot move from a river tile to a river tile without embarking
River provides fresh water
Acts as trade rough
Units travel as if on road

New improvement
Canal

Works the same as river but are built can be workers
Can be built next to Cost Lake or river
Cost Gold to maintain

Roads

Spoiler :

Road

Maintains cost offset by working the tile it’s on

Air Units Related Buildings

Spoiler :

Air units
Air units require an Airfield built in the settlement to be build or to be stationed

Airfields
Airfields give any settlement the ability to bombarded like cities
Airfields give any settlement the ability to build XP for Air units garrisoned within in exchange for hammers at a low rate of exchange improves with tech and buildings
Airfields are required to build any other air related buildings

Airport
Cost gold to maintain
Establish trade roughs with capital if Airport is present in capital as well
Can airlift land units between airports takes up all movement points

Improved techtree

Spoiler :

this will be to manly to help imperilment other new things and address some techs I fell are in the wrong era

New Units/ changes to current units

Spoiler :

This will be to implement other changes plus any good new unites people make that I feel should be in the game I will add with the perdition of the moder who made them

atm I think that is all but I know it’s not I will update as I think of more or when I actually make any thing

Any thoughts or ideas pleas post i will need all the help and support I can get

This sounds excellent! I would love to play this. However, I'm pretty sure you will need access to the C++ code to do this.

And there should be some option to found cities directly from medieval onwards (or maybe somewhat later). It should be expensive, but possible.

I had a similar idea but in it hamlets (well, I started with villages in mine) don't grow directly into cities. Instead they developed over time like the Civ4 hamlets into towns, small cities, and then real cities. Hamlets are very tiny communities so it's kinda bizarre if they could suddenly turn into a large metropolis.

The idea is that all the settlements will act as cities do now with their individual changes added

So the hamlet would could possible change in to a city when it has grown beyond a set population

I choose hamlet as I always took it as meaning like farm/village a group of houses in a set location on a farm not all owned by the farm but not enough to call it a village
I was considering having building requested to go beyond a set population sort of having it change in to a village ect but at mi still have no idea how to make them yet so I don’t yet know how it would work ect but I hoped my outline would give a good idea of my aims
I know i would need some way to move population as well so that if a settlement gets to big they can move out in to the nearby city
