New version inbound. Here's the changelog. This version is not savegame compatible with saves from previous versions.
The Tourism Patch
General Tourism Changes:
- Tourism with other civs now modified based on the difference in # of cities. If another player has more cities than you, you gain %x tourism with them for every city's worth of difference
x value is same as policy cost modifier for map size. So if you have 8 cities, and they have 10 cities on a standard map, that's a +22% bonus for you!
- Tourism now affected by boredom unhappiness. If another civ has bored citizens, you get a bonus with that civ for every bored citizen they have (1 citizen = 2%)
- Colosseum now (once again) generates +2 Tourism (Arena generates +2 Tourism as well). Retains old bonus.
- Caravansaries and Harbors produce Tourism with another major civilization when you complete a trade route to one of their Cities. Trade route must originate in a city with the building to get the bonus. Caravan = land, Harbor = sea.
Bonus = 25% of current Culture per turn (as with palace)
- Mint changed to Customs House
Loses resource bonuses (moved to Bank, reduced to +2 gold from Silver/Gold/Gems)
Hanse now replaces Customs House (small buff to Germany, as it comes a little earlier in tech tree and is cheaper)
Customs House bonus: same Tourism TR bonus as Harbor/Caravansary (25% of CPT), but counts for both land and sea (so is quite useful in trade hubs)
Also generates +2 Gold from TRs to/from City (removed from Bank)and some Culture per turn
East India Company requires a Customs House instead of a Market
- Two new World Congress resolutions added (appear at Flight)
Travel Ban - Restricts international travel between Civilizations. Reduces the Tourism modifier for all Civilizations by 50%.
Passport System - Increases international travel between Civilizations. Increases the Tourism modifier for all Civilizations by 50%.
- New 'Tourism Events' system (referred to as 'Historic Moments' in notifications (see below)
Every time you...50% of your current empire-wide culture output is converted into a Tourism boost with all known major Civs.
- ... build a World Wonder
- ... a GP is born
- ... you complete a CS quest
- ... you enter a new Era
- ... you win a war
Bonus is attached to Palace (see palace description)
This allows Tourism to be somewhat more 'active' as a system, and allows for early-game tourism without saturating the world with Great Works too quickly.
Autocracy Futurism tenet now taps into this - boosts the value of this process by 20% (so 70% of CPT converts - how nice!)
- Writer/Artist/Musician Guilds now buildable in up to 3 Cities - have a higher base rate (3/4/5) of GPP points per turn. Should help get more GWs out early, and boost AI culture performance quite a bit.
- Base culture output of Great Works reduced to 1 (was 3). Should help increase value of GW tourism versus Culture)
- Spy-Diplomats now always generate tourism bonus (was formerly only available to opposite ideologies)
- Theming Yield bonuses added:
In theme bonus tooltip, you can see the yield your city will gain if any theme is active on the building
Yield is a flat bonus to City yields(+3 science, +3 cultue, etc.)
For example: if you theme the Great Library, you gain +3 science in the city.
This was the lightest possible method of adding value to theming (in terms of DLL use/abuse)
- Adjusted science from TRs to scale with influence. Bonus is in addition to existing science gain (so no science gain from tech difference, no bonus) - values are now:
+1 (Exotic)
+2 (Familiar)
+3 (Popular)
+4 (Influential)
+5 (Dominant)
- Adjusted gold from TRs to scale with influence - values are now:
+2 (Exotic)
+4 (Familiar)
+6 (Popular)
+8 (Influential)
+10 (Dominant)
- Added % bonus to Growth (i.e. immigration) bonus from Trade Routes, to other civ cities based on influence.
+3% (Exotic)
+6% (Familiar)
+9% (Popular)
+12% (Influential)
+15% (Dominant)
Tourism Interface:
- Added reverse tourism to tooltip of culture overview (shows you the cultural level of the civ you are looking at versus the civ you have selected)
- Added 'Tourism Update' notifications that tell you when your influence over a civ reaches a new level, and when another civ reaches one with you (also goes in reverse, if in decline)
Notifications limited to once per 50 turns for each type (positive or negative) to limit spam - interval reduces as game goes along
- Added Tourism worldmap popups when you get tourism in certain situations (Related to changes above)
[Added Notifications for these as well, with numeric values to give you an idea of how much tourism you are gaining from events
