Pillage Experience Mod (BTS 3.19)

[stolenrays]

Pillage Experience MOD v1.3 (BTS 3.19)​

This is a simple Mod that makes it so that units gain experience when pillaging improvements. This includes land and sea units. In addition, successfully blockading naval routes also accumulates naval XP. A Custom Game Option allows you to turn the mod on/off from the Custom Game Menu as requested.

I used a snippet of code from the Air Combat Experience Mod by the Lopez (so big thanks to the Lopez) and changed it for pillaging. The modification was only to a few C++ files. The Mod includes the Changed C++ files plus a working mod. Enjoy.

-----Game Play-----
-Units gain experience when successfully pillaging improvements (land or sea) and when naval units successfully blockade naval routes.

-----Note to Modmakers-----
In the SDK files I have added // < Pillage Experience START > and
// < Pillage Experience END > in all of the places that I have made changes to
the original files.

If there's no problem with the modcomp, then it should be in the modcomps section .
Should i move it ?


And nice idea .

 

[stolenrays]

That is fine. I didn't realize I put it in the wrong area, so thanks.

I will release an updated version shortly with experience gained by naval blockade.

This is cool. I'm gonna see if I can't make this a trait and civic dependent.

Thanks. Like new xml tags using SDK?

 

[CaptainMidnight]

Yeah, a bool tag which enables it under civics traits or unit infos. IMO this mod could be a little overpowered as it stands. However, it could make for a damn fine unique unit/civic/trait ability. Its on my todo list but the list is quite long and my coding skills are somewhat haphazard.

Sounds interesting. I like promotions so it is for some. If only I could figure out how to add gameoption entries for these little additions I have made. I think that would help out.

New Version has a Custom Game Option to turn the Mod On/Off.

 

[stolenrays]

Made a small source code commenting fix in one file for the new version.

hi rays, another great idea that I would love to incorporate in my mod (eventually! Damn code headaches :-D)

Any progress on the idea of trait/civic/promotion specific feature, that would be an AWESOME addition for my raiders civ!

 

[stolenrays]

Nothing I've worked on sorry. That'd require some more sdk work I think. Doable, but nothing I have experience with yet.

There is that marauder promotion from TLO Tags. You could make that promotion free for a certain trait in the meantime.

 

[Lib.Spi't]

cool, I shall look into it when the time comes, but anyway, another great modcomp addition

 

[stolenrays]

Did anybody make it civic or trait dependant yet? I'd be happy to include it when you do.

 

[platyping]

If all you want is:
If player X has trait ABC or civic XYZ:
Grants Y experience when pillaging.
Then this is quite doable with python, but if you want those XML tags, then those will definitely need SDK
