This mod (attached in zip file and also posted online) facilitates creation of an expanded empire. Gold is more plentiful but needed for everything. Unhappiness is reduced but still a factor and infinite city sprawl is penalized. The game allows the great military aspects of Civ 5 full expression, and its really possible to Conquer the World!
Details:
Trade routes yield 1 more gold. No cost for roads. Military units stack limit = 2. Cannons have a range of 3.
Unhappiness for any city starts at 1 and rises to a maximum of 13 depending on 2 factors: (A) (age of city / 2) times (player's number of cities / civ land area), and (B) city population * 0.3. The cities-per-civ-land-area factor avoids infinite city sprawl (ICS). Also, occupied population has a permanent additional 0.2 unhappiness factor. This happiness code works only on standard and smaller size maps.
A courthouse increases happiness by 1 and reduces the unhappiness penalty for city size by 75% (in any city where built -- no special effect on occupied cities).
Happiness is increased by 1 with a garden, museum, or public school and by 2 with an opera house or hospital.
