This Mod is compatible with the Rise and Fall Expansion and the Gathering Storm Expansion




Direct Downloading
See Post #2 for more info, but one coment:
in the table <RASL_Yields> explained below some Steam users were trying to give themselves like literally 10,000,000 starting gold and faith. There are limits to what the game will accept before it rejects the value and sets everything to '0'. While I try to find time to determine the exact upper limit and add code to address that in the mod, please don't try to give yourself more than like 50,000 starting gold and 1,000 or 2,000 starting Faith.
Mac Users
  • Please see these two posts on issues related to which text editor program you use. The defualt one that comes with Macs seems to be adding "formatted" characters rather than just direct ANSI character for "

Really Advanced Setup Lite
(inspired by General Tso's Civ5 Really Advanced Set-up)​

  1. Allows specification of extra starting units, civics, techs, and certain of the 'yields'.
  2. Allows specification as to whether the extras are given to AI players or only to human players
  3. Allows specification as to whether the extras should be given only to "CIVILIZATION_ROME" for example.
  4. Allows specification as to what selected game starting era to apply the effects to.
    • so if you want to alter the game so that Rome would get two extra starting scouts if the game is started in the Medieval Era, you can do so.
  5. Specifications are made in an xml file rather than directly through a new "Advanced Start" user interface.
    • This may seem a bit difficult to use for people who are not familiar with xml editing, but given the current limitations on how the game is structured and what types of lua files can accomplish what, this is not an easy thing to "cure" with a new User Interface Menu.
  6. As of the most-recent update to the mod, the additional units, gold, faith, civis, and techs are not applied until a player (human or AI) founds their capital city.

How You Use The Mod
  1. Unzip the mod
    • Steam Subscribers: If you subscribed to the mod on Steam, you do not need to unzip the mod nor move it anywhere. It will automatically be downloaded. However, the mod will not be fully downloaded until the first time you start a game after subscribing. So the first time you run the game after subscribing you will get the "example" settings I left in the mod.
      1. to find the mod you need to navigate to folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\workshop\content\289070\870830735. This is where steam placed the mod when I subscribed to it. Unfortunately Steam is using long-winded numerical folder-names instead of simplifying by using the actual name of the mod for the name of the folder.
      2. 289070 appears to be the main "content" folder-number assigned by Steam to Civ6.
      3. this is all Steam and Firaxis stuff about which I as a mod-maker can do nothing
  2. Open file RASL_GameSet-Up.xml with a text editor such as Notepad.
  3. In this file you make edits to set-up the starting units, techs, civics, and yields you want to give
  4. The mod adds several new game-tables and it is in these new game-tables that you make your designations.
    1. <RASL_Units>
      • Allow you to specify extra starting units for a player
    2. <RASL_Yields>
      • Allow you to specify extra starting Faith or Gold for a player
      • Starting Gold is capped at a maximum addition of 200,000 Gold
      • Starting Faith is capped at a maximum addition of 15,000 Faith
    3. <RASL_CivicsStatus>
      • Allows you to specify extra Civics a player will start with
    4. <RASL_TechnologiesStatus>
      • Allows you to specify extra Technologies a player will start with
  5. The following columns are used commonly in all the new tables and are always used in the same way in all the new tables:
    • AIMajPlayer specifies whether to apply the affect to AI players.
      • AIMajPlayer="false" specifies that only the human player will be given the starting extra
      • AIMajPlayer="true" specifies that only AI major players will be given the starting extra. In this case every AI major player would be given the extra as a default.
        • Note that stating as this:
          Code:
          <Row --snips-- CivilizationType="CIVILIZATION_ROME" AIMajPlayer="true" />
          Would cause the extra to given only to Rome when Rome is being used as an AI but no other AI civilization would get the extra(s) stated.
      • if omitted, the code interprets as if the setting is AIMajPlayer="false"
    • EraType
      • As an example, EraType="ERA_ANCIENT" specifies that extra effect will only be given when the human starts the game in the Ancient Era.
      • The available eras the game has are:
        • ERA_ANCIENT, ERA_CLASSICAL, ERA_MEDIEVAL, ERA_RENAISSANCE, ERA_INDUSTRIAL, ERA_MODERN, ERA_ATOMIC, ERA_INFORMATION
      • if omitted, the code interprets as if the setting is EraType="ERA_ANCIENT"
    • CivilizationType
      • CivilizationType="CIVILIZATION_ROME" specifies that only the Roman civilization will be given the starting extra
      • You can leave off stating anything for CivilizationType and the code will apply the extra for any civ, so long as the setting of AIMajPlayer applies properly for that player.
      • if omitted, the code interprets as if the setting is CivilizationType="NULL", meaning nothing will be done to tie the extra to a specific civilization
  6. Table <RASL_Units> allows you to state the extra starting units you want. See This example:
    Code:
    <RASL_Units>
    	<Row UnitType="UNIT_SCOUT" NumberExtraUnits="1" AIMajPlayer="false" EraType="ERA_ANCIENT"/>
    	<Row UnitType="UNIT_SCOUT" NumberExtraUnits="2" AIMajPlayer="false" EraType="ERA_CLASSICAL"/>
    	<Row UnitType="UNIT_BUILDER" NumberExtraUnits="1" CivilizationType="CIVILIZATION_ROME" AIMajPlayer="false" EraType="ERA_ANCIENT"/>
    </RASL_Units>
    This is set-up so that the human player will get 1 extra starting Scout when the game is started in the Ancient Era, and two extra starting scouts when the game is started in the Classical Era. It also specifies that the player must be the human (ie, not an AI Major Player).

    Rome when being used by the human player will also get an extra starting builder unit when the game is started in the Ancient Era. This extra starting Builder unit will NOT be given when Rome is being used as an AI player (AIMajPlayer="false").

    Exclusions For What Works and Additional Notes:
    • Land and Sea units will work with the code. You should not however attempt to give yourself Nuclear Weapons as these are not actually units as understood by the game's code. Nor should you give yourself Great People as a general rule because they may or may not work correctly so far as their usual Great Person Ability goes.
    • Do not state Air units. Just do not.
    • The code only looks within a 3-tile radius of the player's starting city for valid plots to place the stated units. It then randomly selects a plot from those valid for the unit.
      • If there are no sea plots within this 3-tile range, extra starting sea units will be skipped.
      • If there are no more remaining valid plots for unit-placement, but more units needs to be placed, these remaining units will be skipped.
  7. Table <RASL_Yields> allows you to state the extra starting yields you want. See This example:
    Code:
    <RASL_Yields>
    	<!--<Row YieldType="YIELD_GOLD" StartingExtraValue="75" AIMajPlayer="false" EraType="ERA_ANCIENT"/>-->
    	<!--<Row YieldType="YIELD_FAITH" StartingExtraValue="26" AIMajPlayer="false" EraType="ERA_ANCIENT"/>-->
    	<Row YieldType="YIELD_FAITH" StartingExtraValue="26" CivilizationType="CIVILIZATION_ROME" AIMajPlayer="false" EraType="ERA_ANCIENT" />
    </RASL_Yields>
    These symbols at the start of a line <!-- and the end of a line --> make the line into a comment, so the first two lines are just there for examples of other types of data you can designate, but they won't actually be executed.

    This line:
    Code:
    <Row YieldType="YIELD_FAITH" StartingExtraValue="26" CivilizationType="CIVILIZATION_ROME" AIMajPlayer="false" EraType="ERA_ANCIENT" />
    Specifies that Rome will start with an extra 26 Faith points if Rome is being used by the human player and the game is started in the Ancient era.
    • You should generally only state YIELD_GOLD and YIELD_FAITH for this table.
    • You can state YIELD_CULTURE for example, but YIELD_CULTURE is best not stated in this table because of the way Civ6 treats both Culture and Science.
    • "YIELD_SCIENCE" will not cause the mod or the game to crash but the code of the mod will not do anything with "YIELD_SCIENCE"
    • For Culture and Science, you instead state the Civics or Techs you want the player to start with or to start semi-completed, in the tables that follow.
  8. Table <RASL_CivicsStatus> allows you to state the extra starting Civics you want. You do not need to state a row for any civic you do not want to give or partially-complete at the start of the game for the player/players.
    • You can specify any number of Civics
    • You can specify for an individual Civic whether it should be completed at the start of the game, or partially-completed, and to what % it is partially completed.
    • If you specify that any Civic is to be completed on game-start, the Code of Laws civic will also automatically be completed for that player. This is to ensure oddball conditions where the game wants you to select your policies occurs, but you do not have enough policies to fill the available open policy slots.
    See This example:
    Code:
    <RASL_CivicsStatus>
    	<Row CivicType="CIVIC_CRAFTSMANSHIP" Value="100"  AIMajPlayer="false" EraType="ERA_ANCIENT" />
    	<Row CivicType="CIVIC_MILITARY_TRADITION" Value="50"  AIMajPlayer="false" EraType="ERA_ANCIENT" />
    	<Row CivicType="CIVIC_FOREIGN_TRADE" Finish="true" CivilizationType="CIVILIZATION_ROME" AIMajPlayer="false" EraType="ERA_ANCIENT" />
    </RASL_CivicsStatus>
    1. Value is a percentage of completion of the Civic at game start.
      • When set to 100 or greater, the Civic is pre-completed for the player
      • When set to 0, the entry is ignored
    2. Finish is a true/false setting that specifies whether to complete the Civic for the player at the start of the game. When set to "false', nothing happens.
    3. Never give a setting for both "Value" and "Finish" for the same "Row".
  9. Table <RASL_TechnologiesStatus> allows you to state the extra starting Technologies you want. You do not need to state a row for any technology you do not want to give or partially-complete at the start of the game for the player/players.
    • You can specify any number of Technologies
    • You can state any technology except the random techs of the future era, as this will likely cause just erratic game behavior.
    • You can specify for an individual Technology whether it should be completed at the start of the game, or partially-completed, and to what % it is partially completed.
    See This example:
    Code:
    <RASL_TechnologiesStatus>
    	<Row TechnologyType="TECH_POTTERY" Finish="true" AIMajPlayer="false" EraType="ERA_ANCIENT"  />
    	<Row TechnologyType="TECH_MINING" Finish="true"  AIMajPlayer="false" EraType="ERA_ANCIENT" />
    	<Row TechnologyType="TECH_IRRIGATION" Value="0"  AIMajPlayer="false" EraType="ERA_ANCIENT" />
    	<Row TechnologyType="TECH_ANIMAL_HUSBANDRY" Finish="true" CivilizationType="CIVILIZATION_ROME" AIMajPlayer="false" EraType="ERA_ANCIENT" />
    </RASL_TechnologiesStatus>
    1. Value is a percentage of completion of the Technology at game start.
      • When set to 100 or greater, the Technology is pre-completed for the player
      • When set to 0, the entry is ignored
    2. Finish is a true/false setting that specifies whether to complete the Technology for the player at the start of the game. When set to "false', nothing happens.
    3. Never give a setting for both "Value" and "Finish" for the same "Row".
  10. Any of the four tables described can be omitted and any of the four can be set to not having anything stated within them, such as doing like this for the extra starting units:
    Code:
    <RASL_Units>
    </RASL_Units>
  11. The file RASL_GameSet-Up.xml contains additional instructions and info on setting up the tables.
  12. Once you have made the designations you want within file RASL_GameSet-Up.xml, save the changes and exit your editor program.
  13. Make sure the mod is placed within folder ~\Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization VI\Mods so that the game can find it. Currently the way the modding system works the mod should automatically be enabled and running from this point onwards.
    1. Steam Subscribers: If you subscribed to the mod on Steam you do not need nor do you want to move the mod from where Steam placed it. It will not (as mentioned in #1 above) be located in the game's MODS folder.
    2. You can always go into the game's "Additional Content" menu and disable the mod.
  14. Never make any changes to the code of the mod in any file besides the RASL_GameSet-Up.xml file.


In order to provide easier use of the mod for users and easier updating when necessary, you can download this mod at this dropbox: https://www.dropbox.com/s/aua05wd3vkcrg83/Really Advanced Setup Lite Datas.zip?dl=0
  1. Download and extract the zipped file into your game's mods folder at ~\Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization VI\Mods
  2. Make your edits to the file RASL_GameSet-Up.xml within this second mod instead of the RASL_GameSet-Up.xml within the original mod
  3. Make sure this second mod is enabled
  4. Enable or Disable the Really Advanced Setup Lite mod as needed or desired to make the system provide the starting extras, or to stop doing so. This will not affect the Really Advanced Setup Lite Datas mod one way or another.
  5. Using this second Really Advanced Setup Lite Datas mod in tandem with the main Really Advanced Setup Lite mod will allow me to make updates to the main mod without in any way disturbing the data you have adjusted in the RASL_GameSet-Up.xml file in the new extra mod called Really Advanced Setup Lite Datas.
  6. In this way you will no longer need to worry about preserving your customized version of the RASL_GameSet-Up.xml file.
  7. All this second mod does is hold the data you want Really Advanced Setup Lite to implement. It does not contain the executing lua code.

Notes Regarding GS Civs:
  • Kupe won't work with this mod properly for land units because as a general rule there will be nowhere for those land units to go.

List of Valid Units in the Base Game

Please note that with the release of Rise and Fall and Gathering Storm the lists of valid civilizations has expanded, and the list of valid Units, Civics, and Technologies will be a little different than that shown with additions made by the two expansions. Any of the valid Civilizations, Units, Civics and Technologies added by the expansion will work correctly so long as you remember to keep running Gathering Storm (for example) when you specify a civilization, unit, civic, or technology that is only valid under that expansion.

Spoiler Units List :
  • This is in the base game and does not include Units added by the DLC
  • As a general rule you should probably not give great people as extra starting units as this could cause a severe game imbalance. For purposes of mod-testing, though, I cannot see a reason why this should not work.
  • Air units won't work because there is nowhere for them to go at the point in the game when the units are generated

List of Valid Major Civilizations in the Base Game

Very Nice. Thank you!!

What happens if you enable a technology but not it's prerequisite techs?
 
you get the technology but none of its prerequisites.

you may also find the player propelled into a new era if for example you start the game in the ancient era and give a player a medieval era technology. The player would be getting the effect of being in the medieval era in this case but they won't get any additional techs simply because you gave them one far ahead of where they normally would be in terms of their progress through the tech tree.
 
good job

Had it working for a while, now it works but if I edit it to change the civilization or some units/values, it just doesn't work. Nothing bad happens, the mod just doesn't take effect... idk what to do

Lmao hang on it looks like I had a line of text that read

CIVILIZATION_RENAISSANCE

i dont think that is a valid civ XD

It's working now but some of my units didn't spawn... ill take a look at it after i eat. good mod when it works, i'm sure it isnt ur fault it doesnt work tho, i dont know much about this sort of computer business

Error in the game's Datbase.log from running the problem code:
Code:
[2076185.019] [Gameplay] ERROR: Invalid Reference on RASL_CivicsStatus.CivicType - "CIVIC_CIVIC_DRAMA_POETRY" does not exist in Civics
Which comes from this within the code:
Code:
<Row CivicType="CIVIC_CIVIC_DRAMA_POETRY" Finish="true" AIMajPlayer="false" EraType="ERA_CLASSICAL" />
Deleting the row for the extra builder here should not have been a problem unless the code you were actually trying to run had another fatal typo in it:
Code:
<Row UnitType="UNIT_BUILDER" NumberExtraUnits="2" AIMajPlayer="false" EraType="ERA_CLASSICAL"/>

-------------------------------------

Also as clarification just be aware any effects from a row that has
Code:
EraType="ERA_CLASSICAL"
will only be implemented if you the human user start the game at the classical era via the game's advanced start menu for which era to begin the game in.
 
I'm curious if you'd be able to add a method for granting experience or promotion levels to units at creation. If you don't wish to include it in the mod, no biggie. I'd just like the option to have scouts that have single movement points in forests and hills is all. :)
 
very nice job, thank you

EDIT: it doesnt work when u change sometthing. game doesnt load and returns to main menu as soon as i activate this mod

IYS NOT WORKING IF YOU CHANGE ANYTHING? THE GAME DOESNT LOAD, IT JUST SAYS START GAME FOR 1 SEC THDEN BACK TO MAIN MENU

/sorry caps
 
you have a typo somewhere or an invalid reference. See reply #11 where I found Cyb3r Fuse's problem. the behavior you are describing is the behavior he had becasue of the typo. this is a behavior "baked in" by Firaxis. If I try to tell the game to use "CIVIC_QUATLOOS" (fdor example) in my xml somewhere, the game will return to the main menu as you are describing because "CIVIC_QUATLOOS" is an invalid reference to a Civic, and so the game does not know what to do with such a thing. Even a one-character mis-typo is enough to do it.

"ERA_CLASICAL" would do it because it is missing an "S" in "CLASSICAL"
 
I tried inputting them in all the currently available fields and didn't get anything. Wonder what's being missed... I mean, who doesn't want to start an Ancient Era game with 500k gold, faith, and 500 thermonuclear warheads costing you a buttton of gold a turn in maintenance? =3 Obviously giving yourself some submarines to go with said nukes...

Which there is something else. I couldn't get planes to work, nor could I get great people to work very well. Planes just didn't appear at all, carriers given or not, and if I tried more than one great person it would eat up almost all of my "custom" units. Way around the great person thing, though, is a crapload of faith. Just buy 'em. xD
 
Oh hey. I just came back to get the list of units and I just noticed a couple typos.

UNIT_MILITARY_ENGINEE
"UNIT_MISSILE_CRUISER
 
I fixed the typos and added a note about Air Units in the list of units. Air Units won't work because at the time the code generates the units, there is nowhere for Air units to go. I already had a note in the list of units that you should not as a general rule try to give yourself Great People except when using this mod to help ease teating some other mod.

And if you read item #6 in the instructions it already specifically mentioned not to attempt adding Air Units.

Air Units and Great People Units are shown in the list of valid units because I prefer to provide complete lists when I state that this is the list of valid X in the game.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

One question, two words.

Nukes, how?
I looked into this again and I remember now why Nukes aren't included or implemented. They aren't Units, and they have the same sorts of issues as Air Units wrt somewhere to place Nukes.

Nukes are actually WMDs in the game's code and use
Code:
<WMDs>
	<Row WeaponType="WMD_NUCLEAR_DEVICE" Name="LOC_WMD_NUCLEAR_DEVICE_NAME" BlastRadius="1"
		FalloutDuration="10" ICBMStrikeRange="12" AffectPopulation="true" AffectImprovements="true"
		AffectBuildings="true" AffectUnits="true" AffectResources="true" AffectRoutes="true" Maintenance="14"/>
	<Row WeaponType="WMD_THERMONUCLEAR_DEVICE" Name="LOC_WMD_THERMONUCLEAR_DEVICE_NAME" BlastRadius="2"
		FalloutDuration="20" ICBMStrikeRange="15" AffectPopulation="true" AffectImprovements="true"
		AffectBuildings="true" AffectUnits="true" AffectResources="true" AffectRoutes="true" Maintenance="16"/>
</WMDs>
Regular type units use table <Units> and designations of
Code:
