Puppet States Mod (BTS 3.19)

[stolenrays]

Puppet States Mod v1.6 (BTS 3.19)​

This mod was created by isolating the source code of Puppet States from Dom Pedro II's Conquerer's Delight Mod. This mod only includes Puppet States and none of the other features in that mod. People were requesting it so I got it to work since the Delight code actually had an error in it that prevented it from working.

I have updated the code so it is now compatible with BTS 3.19 and altered all of the vassal text from vassal to puppet state and master to leader. The changed Source Code is included. The changes were just a few source code and .xml files. Since it works only with the vassal option turned on, it can be turned off via the custom game menu.

From old thread:
You can now create puppet states after conquering enemy cities. This creates a new instant vassal player. You cannot create multiple puppet states from the same enemy and you cannot form puppet states in cities that can be returned to an ally.

When you conquer another city from an enemy that you have previosuly carved out a puppet state from one of their cities, you are then granted the option to add the city to your puppet state. The puppet state is picked from the list of civilizations in the .xml file and is a brand new one. If you create a puppet state before founding your first city, the puppet state may become you and you will be instantly defeated.

Download Puppet States Mod

Looks good
Is there however any option that you can make this an own option in the gamemenu?

 

[CaptainMidnight]

Downloaded but a few questions:

1. Can the AI create puppet states?
2. How is the new puppet civ selected? At random or the same as creating a colony (other words favourite civ colony)?

 

[CaptainMidnight]

<DerivativeCiv> in civilizationinfo is what I'm on about

@vebear There is no option to turn it off as of yet besides turning off Vassals/puppet states in the custom game menu. I've asked how to add new options in the modding tutorial thread for creating options how to do just what you asked. If I figure it out I will update it with a new Game Option.

@CaptainMidnight I'm not sure if the AI can create puppet states and that is a good question. I'm pretty sure after integrating the source code that the game picks a civ at random as long as the maximum number of civs are not present. I'm sure that could be changed somehow to force certain options, but I don't know how to do that.

BTW, I removed the discover tech conquest message to make it compatible with the tech conquest mod, which I think is better since it is removable via python.

What's the difference between a puppet state and a vassal?

IMHO, it would make more sense for the Puppet State to be a DerivativeCiv of the Civ it is being carved out of rather than the Civ that is doing the carving.....

 

[stolenrays]

Probably a good idea.

@Arian A puppet state is the same as a vassal state. The puppet state is just a more modern term since not every civ uses a feudal system. Everything else is the same except that puppet states can be instantly created on conquest and you can donate cities to them when conquering other cities.

 

[debulm]

in alpha centauri, the vassal state will always be in favor for the master state.

Or even better, dependent on which culture is dominant in a city.

 

[stolenrays]

That is a good idea as well. Another feature of Conquerer's Delight, which I could not convert, was that cityart of the highest culture is retained on conquest.

 

[Dementual]

I really like this idea a lot and I'd love to see it integrated into some larger mods down the road.

Gotta keep Civ 4 modding alive, and this is one of those gems.

 

[stolenrays]

It is definetly going into my mod.

Reading the Conquerer's Delight thread I found out that the puppet state civ is dependant on the parent civ that you just conquered.

Hi, I wanted to merge this nice modpack, put the CvCity.cpp is missing.
Or did I just missed it somehow?
If I'm right, could you please upload the CvCity.cpp somewhere, thanks.

 

[stolenrays]

Yeah, you are right. Sorry. I will fix and upload it soon.

 

[stolenrays]

I updated the complete mod on the download page because it is just~1MB.

 

[deepwater]

thank you very much

 

[Tholal]

In CvPopupInfo.cpp, why do you have all of the Data4 code commented out?

Actually, I don't think that that C++ file is needed. I was just hesitant to take things out while I was testing and updating it.

Dom Pedro II Commented it out initially. I believe he did that because he was continuously adding new components to Conquerer's Delight.
