I am releasing this just because I can. It's the way I play RFC. Backup your original RFC, if you want to experience the experience I experience
.
Changelong:
Plagues are disabled, except the Conquerors one. I do it for the sake of the AI, mostly.
It's harder to escape the Conquerors by Workboat cheese.
AI's at Monarch build units at 85% of human hammers instead of 110%, at 80% at Emperor instead of 100%. Their financial unit cost is lessened by 10%. Their unit upgrade cost, civic upkeep and unit upgrade cost is 5% higher as a compensation.
At Emperor, you no longer receive a diplo malus for being human, the speed of AI workers is now 30% more instead of 50%.
Colony maintenance reduced to 10% of original.
Human player receives +10 stability points as part of the initial stability handicap (20/15/5 instead of 20/5/-5) (I don't bother with Viceroy).
Stability penalty for Representation is halved, Wonders, Courthouses, Security Bureaus, Jails give an extra stability point, the tolerance for tiles not in your historical area is now 52 instead of 32.
Germany's stability softened - it now has an increased tolerance of foreign culture, like the Dutch/Portuguese stability.
Aztecs and Incas are less likely to respawn.
Qin leaderhead made to play worse in order to give the Mongolians a chance without plague. Cyrus and Asoka are also slightly hampered in order to compensate for the lack of plague, that gives them more chance at dealing with the barbs.
Mongolians receive more starting units.
American leaders behave like Mansa in regards to tech trading, to help them catch up. Washington puts more emphasis on culture buildings. Aggression level of American leaders and Frederick is increased (never understood why Firaxis Frederick is such a peacemonger). Pacal tries to build more units, to live 'till Monty, at least.
Tokugawa is slightly less isolationist (80 TechTradeKnownPercent).
Isabella is still a religious fanatic in diplo, but now has an emphasis on science techs, as well as on religious ones, to help her occasionally be the first to the New World.
Crossbows can be now unitai_city_defence.
Increased the starting units of Mongolians and Arabs.
Islamic spread rate lessened, Christianity upped.
Increased the amount of free AI European colonists.
Map changes: dejungled some Lagos, some Indonesian cities, a couple of other areas. Madeiras are now unsettleable 'till Astronomy. Improved the Caribbean.
Germany changed to HRE lemon color and flag. Just makes it feel less "Prussian".
Some Ethnic Diverse Units are included, to plunge the most obvious gaps. They are:
-Unique graphics for Asian, Native American, Mediterranean, Asian, Middle Eastern units up to Gunpowder.
-Asian Musketman, Cannon, Cuirassier (Heavy Horseman), Grenadier.
-Russian Musketman and Knight.
-Middle Eastern Cannon, Grenadier, Musketman, Infantry, Machine Gun.
-Native American Musketman.
-Medieval/Renaissance European Cannon (seeing Napoleonic Cannons at Gunpowder is slightly weird).
-Portugal and Spain now uses the Mediterranean unit art set. It just fits more.
