Modern Earth Fork

GreatLordofPie · Feb 29, 2020

Fork of kiwitt's Modern Earth, which is itself a modmod of BarbarianKing's Earth 2010 ("modmodmod" is a bit too tedious).

This scenario is trying to replicate the current geopolitical situation on a Giant Earth Map

Number of cities: 1105
Number of units: 6730

Changes from Modern Earth 1.4
*Some changes may have been omitted by mistake, as this is a multi-year, on-and-off project that I haven't been keeping a changelog for

Switched DLL to 50 Civs ("Basic 50 civs" by modifieda4)

New Technologies, including expanded tech tree into the near future (subject to change)

Civics entirely redone (experimental, based on World 2009 Mod)

Power Grid buildings - Power your whole country with just a few power plants...but be careful to leave room for redundancy.

New World Wonders, both starting and buildable

Obsolete events removed, some new barb spawn events added

Platyping's Platypedia

Weapons Blueprints

Spoiler :

Corporations removed (Subject to change)

Relgions changed

Spoiler :

New SpecialUnit: Expeditionary forces (Marines and Helicopter units) will be the vanguard of your amphibious invasions

Dozens of new land, sea, and air units, ranging from drug smugglers, to giant death robots

Removed "Assassinate" mission from Special Forces

Removed all culture generation - borders are now "fixed" (although a small python script from RtW has been added) which automatically expands newly captured city's borders.

MAP CHANGES
Despite the addition of 10 civilizations, the removal of several factors including extraneous units, buildings, and great people have reduced the loading time and turn times by up to 50%
New Civilizations:

Spoiler :

MISC
1 turn = 1 month (better for scaling production and tech rates)
A few cities added or moved slightly
Several units, cities, buildings, Settled Great People removed (Sorry Kiwitt)
Orders of battle accurate to 2017
Land, air, and sea units added
Chinese Military reorganized - Units designated as divisions have been split into component regiments
Indian Military reorganized - Divisions have been split into their constituent brigades (based on an educated guess as this info isn't publically available)
Generally fewer terrorists, but higher concentrations in global hotspots
Terrorists named for flavour

I'm in the process of migrating the xml and most of the python onto the GEM framework which should help with user interface, and speed, as well as add DCM and such. I'm pretty sure this is possible.

EDIT: Integration of units going better than expected, no xml schema errors. This bodes well for the rest of the xml integration

Merge into GEM is a success. Here are examples of the new features, including BUG/BAT interface, Dale's Combat Mod, and Influence Driven War

I'll be polishing this to a presentable state and playtesting over the next few weeks.

What country were you playing? Can you describe the bug (crash to desktop, infinite hang, etc)? Note that if you're playing a smaller civilization, the turns actually just take a really long time, as did with Kiwitt's mod

civcivcivcivciv · Mar 13, 2020

i was playing america

and it was almost 2019 march almost.

and it doesn't move to the next turn

GreatLordofPie · Mar 14, 2020

Do you have a save file?

civcivcivcivciv · Mar 14, 2020

no i deleted it
it was unlimited loading to move next turn

civcivcivcivciv · Mar 19, 2020

if i upload the save file can u fix it

GreatLordofPie · Mar 20, 2020

Probably not. However I'm working on a transferring the XML and Python changes into the Giant Earth Map, which I think will lead to a more stable game overall.

GreatLordofPie · Mar 21, 2020

I think I've managed to fully import and implement the cyber and black ops functions into into the new version. I'll need to do some additional playtesting

You can call it that I guess but I'll be calling it 1.0 for my line of development.

The merge has resulted in a playable game with most of the intended features, but memory allocation failures are now a thing. Before moving to release, I'll be making a second GEM scenario with fewer cities (probably half). This isn't to replace the current map that Kiwitt put all that research into but to add an option for players who want better performance and less simulation.

need huge map, if play giant map, it is take turn 2~4 minutes

Try BarbarianKing's Earth 2010, which this is based on (link in OP)

What about nukes? Kwitt's version never had enough of them between the large nuclear powers. As a matter of fact large powers could go to war and only have to worry about a few nukes.

I modelled the ICBMs, SLBMs, and Tactical Nukes to represent 10 real world missiles as of 2018 so Russia and US both have about 120 ICBMs. The only thing is that the AI is dumb and is liable to launch their entire arsenal in regional wars.

GreatLordofPie · Jun 26, 2020

Working on the "lite" scenario which reduces the number of cities to just over 600 (versus 1105). Once that's done, I'll be ready to release the DCM beta.
Also, I'm going to change Syria to an Iran ally "Axis of Resistance" or IRGC/Quds Force, to represent the immense power this organization has on the Middle East.

Proposed list of UBs, many of which were shamelessly poached from https://forums.civfanatics.com/threads/ideas-for-unique-units-and-buildings.303068/

Spoiler :

This is a proposed method of reducing the number of buildings at the start of the map, inspired by Civ6's districts. This should allow for more emphasis on the "development" aspect of Civ, even if you're playing as a developed nation. The basic principle is that the initial "district" is required to build its child buildings. The production cost will be something like the average cost of its child buildings *2. To keep it from being a dumb barrier and to represent the fact that it is part of a developing city, it will generate relevant GP points and have yields reflecting those of its child buildings, once again averaged out, and then scaled to something reasonable.
e.g. The "Military Base" which is required to build Barracks, Military Academy, etc will provide 1 or 2 XP to units right off the bat.
