One more idea that could boost despotism: adding a 5% chance for enslaving. It fits to the dictators "Do my will!" behavior, just as labor camps do.

I'm not sure it's supported by the code to sum that percentage.

Do you think it's only the highest valid?

Or the last you've changed to.

In case of the city limits I know they are cumulative. I tried to add it to Tribal and City-states for example but they ended up not the way I imagined

I believe you, I'm just not sure how that part of the code works and I'm warning you that I need to check. I think I can easily fix it if needed. I've merged the enslavement code but I don't remember how it works now.

THX if you can look after it
An other idea but I don't recall if civics can do it or only building: +1/20%

BTW, what are your experiences about Stance category? I feel it is not well balanced.

The /commerce mechanic is building exclusive afaik.

I just stuck to prosperity and manifest destiny (until the homestead went obsolete kek), and never tried exploration, or mobilization, or even state of emergency. MAD, I never touched ever either, though nuke-happy megacivs would be comfy with it. Personally, I think State of Emergency is unnecessary as a civic, and would better fit as a seperate mechanic on its own.

Sure, but that's far beyond my reach.

My suggestion's to ax it tbh. Or put it in its own civic category, where you get to pick if you ARE in a state of emergency or not.

You should really spell Labour with a U.

 

[45°38'N-13°47'E]

Also, if we want things to be balanced, we probably need a building for every civic. I don't think some civics should allow regular buildings while other grant NW.

You English people really should make your grammar coherent

Labor is right in the USA and wrong in the UK, and Labour vice versa

Isn't it enough four you that I have turned on MS auto-grammar? Soo I dont mace serius misstakes?

BTW: I checked in the main mod and it uses both Labor and Labour so this leads me to the well thought decision that I don't care

It was like that for ages:
Foundling Hospital is NW for Church Welfare, and Statue of Liberty is a WW for Liberal.
So I see no problem here.

Uh, I didn't remember you need Liberal for Statue of Liberty. Too long I don't play. I wonder what Vokarya thinks about it.

I'm a little troubled about SoL - I see why it's there but don't think it's a very good ide to put WWs as civic buildings.
On the other hand I have no problem with using general NWs as civic buildings. I view civics buildings - whether NW or regular - as a non-automatic feature of the civic, an optional bonus you get for some extra investment.

 

[45°38'N-13°47'E]

Well, you're probably right. I'm not sure but isn't SoL a vanilla WW? If so and if it always required Liberal or whatever it was called, then probably there's no problem with it.

It's vanilla for sure but AFAIK civic buildings are new in ROM, so I guess it was the work of Zaparra or Afforess.

 

[GreedyManul]

I feel the Refugee Camp has too many downsides; try axing or tweaking one or two of them? Just to not make it too punishing for those who want their cities to grow like Sonic the Hedgehog.

Also, I love all those new Despotism-exclusive buildings. They're a dream come true. BTW, make sure citizens of all cities get the +1 and not just the Secret Police-housing one.

PS: Speaking of the Statue of Liberty, I can just run Liberal until I build it, and then change to whatever I fancy because it doesn't deactivate when I change civics. Same with Chamber of Commerce; it doesn't deactivate when I leave Corporate Welfare.
