[NOT IN DEVELOPMENT] DOC Community Mod Compilation

[1SDANi]

I kept asking @Leoreth about coal Transport, a Steamer, because there is a glaring gap between Sail powered Galleon and Oil power Transport which comes so late that most of WW1 type fighting has to be conducted with Galleons. Very bad to see sails in late Industrial -early Modern Oceans...Do you think you can add one sea unit like this?

Sure! I've never added a unit before though, so I'm going to need to find some art for it.

 

[Tigranes]

Oh yeah, well in my modmod I added a steam powered transport before it was cool! *adjusts glasses*

So many modmods floating around but which to pick?

This reminds me my favorite play by Russian/Ukrainian writer
Nikolay Gogol "The Marriage"

Agafia Tikhonovna chooses the groom:

Right, such a difficult choice! If only one, two people ... but four? As you want, choose! Nikanor Ivanovich is not bad, although, of course, he is thin; Ivan Kuzmich is also not bad. Yes, if you tell the truth, Ivan Pavlovich too, although a fat person, is a very prominent man. I ask humbly, how to be here? Baltazar Baltazarovich is again a man with virtues.

It's so hard to decide, it's so easy to tell how difficult it is! If Nikanor Ivanovich's lips were to be placed under Ivan Kuzmich's nose, and if there was any kind of cheekiness that Baltazar Baltazarych had, and perhaps add to this the corpulence of Ivan Pavlovich, then I would immediately decide. Now, think about it! Just the head even began to hurt.

I just stole the Paddlesteamer from Legends of Revolution, easy peasy.

Once 1.15 is out I'll see about reviving my modmod and maybe stealing some features from this mod here.

Then I guess I'll steal yours in return!

 

[Imperator Knoedel]

Ah yes, the eternal circle of intellectual theft.

I'd be honored if you wish to steal one of my mod's "features".

Seriously, they're mostly XML and Python changes and a couple of tiny DLL tweaks.

 

[Imperator Knoedel]

Hmmmmmm... is there anything else to this mod besides some civs and a single decreased modifier?

I made a new UP for the Maya, added a Stone in the Maya core, a slight change to some buildings and I'm currently working on adding a bunch of improvement yield changes on modern techs.

I only just started this mod a week or two ago, so expect a lot of new features in the near future.

Also, could someone guide me in the direction of a guide on adding new XML tags?

Oh okay then, I'll take a closer look at your mod a few weeks from now when I have more free time.

The last point is something you stole from me btw, whether you know it or not.

Yeah someone probably can.

And the stealing continues! Though I was just doing what Steb suggested.

Paddlesteamers aren't oceangoing, they're river ships.

Ah yes, the eternal circle of intellectual theft.

So communism IS theft!

 

[Imperator Knoedel]

Paddlesteamers aren't oceangoing, they're river ships.

Huh, TIL.

Just rename them to Ocean Liner then.

So communism IS theft!

So is property. Really, what isn't theft?

 

[Leoreth]

love

 

[Hussarknight]

Yes, but please do add the steamer ship or any ship of that kind between Sail powered Galleon and Oil power Transport, because I really like that idea of @Tigrane

I can't imagine a worse fate than having to use galleons in a ww1 setting

 

[Genghis Khaiser]

The 1700 AD scenario is still unplayable.

The 1700 AD scenario is still unplayable.

Really? It works on my end. Do you have the latest version? Have you checked to make sure the line endings are windows ones?

New Update

Artificial Intelligence allows you to build populations with production
Unified Theory grants 1 of each Great Person when discovered

Fusion gives free clean power in all cities
Biotechnology and Nanotechnology each give -25% unhealthiness and -10% unhappiness from population
Automation gives +2 Food to all non-Impassable tiles
(I wanted to make all tiles automatically worked without needing population but I couldn't figure it out)
Supermaterials gives +25% production towards everything
(Settlers require building materials for new towns, workers need vehicles to work land, soldiers need a lot of weapons, etc)

Robotics gives +1 Production to Production Improvements
Renewable Energy gives +1 Commerce to Commerce Improvements
Genetics gives +1 Food to Food Improvements
Telecommunications and Satellites each give +25% commerce from the Computer Industry

No idea what to give Aerodynamics or Superconductors

My goal for the next update is to add the Steam Ship and hopefully to revise unit balance. Could everyone who's interested compile their balance tweak ideas so I'd have them in a single place? I'd also very much appreciate suggestions on what stats to give the Steam Ship.

 

[Publicola]

Fission gives free clean power in all cities

I'm not as familiar with the new tech tree, but... don't you mean 'fusion'? (Fission would usually correspond to the development of the atomic bomb...)

Artificial Intelligence allows you to build populations with production

Does the new population still need to be sustained by food?


These changes sound great, but unfortunately are far too sweeping and powerful. I was planning on downloading this mod when Leoreth updates with 1.15 (since the civs and minor balance/fixes sounded reasonable). But these changes would result in an entirely new game, at least in the endgame.

Is there any chance you could add these as a separate branch on your mod, or provide an installer that allows to pick-and-choose different components?

 

[Steb]

Yes, it'd be nice to have a modmod with the merged new civs, and nothing else. And then you can have a separate modmod where you experiment with new features.

Your changes to the late game tech sound interesting, if too powerful. I'll try them eventually.
