Which xml file do I need to adjust if I want to increase a vote required for Diplomatic Victory? Too easy compared to other victories in my setting, like 2 vassals and 2 spheres of influence are much likely to finish the game. I know that it should be globaldefines.xml in Vanilla, but I can't find any similar thing from the MODS folder. Help!

 

From this (immortal AI bonuses) :

<!-- Per Era Bonuses -->
<AITrainPercent>80</AITrainPercent>
<AIConstructPercent>80</AIConstructPercent>
<AIUnitSupplyPercent>30</AIUnitSupplyPercent>
<AIPerEraModifier>-9</AIPerEraModifier>

I understand that AI constructs buildings and train units with a 20% discount. But how does the AIPerEraModifier of -9 work?

 

I just came back to VP and noticed an abundancy of bribed wars in my current game (both offers from AI civs which I decline and loads of war declarations due to bribing - haven't been at peace since early classical (early Renaissance now), often with multiple opponents and no real combat happening. Is this a known bug, desired behaviour and can I do anything to improve/disable that behaviour? Being at constant war with about half of the AI civs does get on my nerves a little, especially with the majority being relatively cold wars.

 

Making it reduce to (1 - AIPerEraModifier / 100) ^ Era could be better.

 

BIG PROBLEM here : My Incas are getting shafted during turns 228-231 .
Situation: on T228, Cusco is 6 tiles distant from Tiwanaku;
1] engineer in Cusco sent to Tiwanaku to arrive on T230,
2] Chichen Itza (19 turns to build) becomes available at Tiwanaku on T230, chosen to build on T230, engineer arriving on T230, is CREDITED for reducing the build time of Chichen Itza from 19 turns to 9 turns, during T230 .
Here is the shaft job :
3] Next turn, T231, at Tiwanaku, Chichen Itza now shows as 18 turns to build, engineer has vanished; and the world congress has appeared, requiring me to choose a proposal, but will NOT let me choose it, or commit to it .

I hope to be able to save this game; if not, I'll try another shot at it .

 

Does anyone know a mod that makes sea travel faster? I found two mods that adds promotions to naval units, but these doesn't work with Vox Populi units.

 

Engineer's Hurry ability from every factory in your Empire or only factories worked by selected city?

 

I believe it's all manufactories that you built, but not captured ones.

 

No matter if I have ancient ruins turned on or off they dont show up, I've played several games now (even tested on settler to see if the AI was just snagging all of them) and not seen a single one. Anyone have a clue what might be the issue or how I can find out? Playing on the latest communitu on the october 7 patch.

 

Is there a mod that makes all combat/movement animations faster (as opposed to instant)? Something like aircraft speed.

 

What are the conditions in VP for an AI to buy a city outside of a peace treaty ? Can't you sell it back to them after capturing it ?

 

I feel like an idiot for asking this, but I'm now questioning this. Does desert count as open or rough terrain?

 

Rough. If not, I'll join the guild...

 

Good to know, ok found a bug! Thank you.

 

But desert tiles always cost 2 movement points, like forest, be it flat or hill. Isn't that definition for rough terrain?

 

thank you
