Revising the lore of each civic

No particularly useful comments from me, other than I like the changes.
Much better. Especially the description of Ignorance (shows better the actual effects of this civic), Written Tradition (shows the limitations of this civic), Apprenticeship and Corporate (more neutral description) is strongly improved. The old description of Compulsary was even wrong, the text was about rote learning.
Language
Nonverbal (was No Language)
Old: Your nation has speaks in grunts and gestures.
New: Communication is made through the use of nonverbal methods like body language.

New: By coming up with a simplified and mutually understood made-up language, people are now able to talk with someone from outside their region.
Written (was Interpreters)
Old: Your nation uses Interpreters when communcating with other nations.
New: Language can now be translated into writing which makes information sharing easier, as one no longer needs to be in the presence of another to exchange ideas and thoughts.
Codified (was Language Education)
Old: Language education is the teaching and learning of a foreign or second language. Language education is a branch of applied linguistics.
New: An effort was made to standardize all writing systems inside the nation into a logical format so as to make them easier to learn and harder for languages to differentiate over time.
International (was World Language)
Old: One global language that everyone speaks.
New: Language education in schools coupled with an ever growing global interconnectivity between nations have allowed for a lingua franca to emerge which almost everyone understands.

Old: Your nation uses a Universal Translator to communcate with any language.
New: A device allows for almost real-time communications with someone who speaks another language.
Telepathic (was Telepathy)
Old: Communicating directly from mind to mind.

Good catch, I mistakenly took it from TXT_KEY_CIVIC_NO_SPEAK_SAME which was below in the code.
HorseshoeHermit
20% accurate as usual, Morty
Pidgin is a linguistic phenomenon.
Trade language is a social institution.
'Pidgin' is not a proper word for a civic option.
I hesitated to stick my foot back in this thread, because of how deep my disapproval now runs with a lot of this language. I think you've mutated a number of the civics away from their actual concept, either by a name swap to a false equivalence, or the by-line change introducing errant details. I don't think xenosemiotic has anything to do with touch. I think military tradition is different from martial education. I think instant education is not necessarily wrought through a machine server without a wifi password.
Coming up with a quality test to apply to civic contributions going forward seems harder than anything I know how to do, and easier (probably) is to try providing my own civic text. But neither one is something I can say "And I approve of this idea of mine" after producing it, with the effort I can lend at this time. So I just have to say I do not vote confidence in what's in this thread.
However, it is 100% true that these changes are better than the vacuity that now exists on the civics page. Any words at all are better than the Power category just saying "Power!" three times and categories mixing modifiers with encyclopedia citations.

@HorseshoeHermit thank you for writing your opinion about this.
All changes are made after hours of consideration and research, which begin from reading the pedia sections of each civic, the technology that unlocks each civic and the technology proper in order to have some context on what this civic is trying to represent.
For quite a lot of civics I had to considerably stray from their original meaning as they no longer corresponded to what they were saying anymore, many civics are still remnants from when C2C was an almost direct port of Rise of Mankind, and a decade of changes have happened since then.
So in that regard, I'm sorry you don't fully support the changes in question, but I appreciate for believing this is, at least, something better than what currently exists.
I like to think that nothing is forever and these civics (and descriptions) can be changed at any time. Personally I always found them odd in my many years of playing C2C so I finally got the motivation to do something about it, and at the very least I will try leaving something that is better than what was before. There's also the fact that English is not my mother tongue and many text would be much more well written if done by a native,
For that purpose I replaced the current system into something more similar to reality, where in the beginning there were a lot of dissipated languages that, with time and effort, either got extinct, merged or stood the test of time and became codified with government intervention.
For Martial Education, I was going for the real world equivalent of the Spartan education, the Agoge.
As for instant education, again, inspired by science fiction, but tried to give it a different flavor based on the technology and era in question.
EDIT: It's true that some civics are simple upgrades from the last available choice (language, for example), but I tried my best to make sure most civics would convey the fact that they are options a nation could have at anytime (like anarchism, irreligion, no currency, etc. for role-playing purposes).

I tried going for linguistic phenomenons since the civic was called Language. What C2C had represented was something akin to "understanding of foreigners", which is more related to translation abilities than anything else.

Regarding Xenosemiotic, I was inspired by sci-fi literature, specifically on the Protheans and their method of communication.

You have changed the meaning of almost all the Language civics into something totally different to the intent. It is supposed to be about how two people from different areas communicate with each other face to face. Writing should not be mentioned anywhere.
The Language Civic (and the Garbage one at least) exists because there is no other way than Civics to apply a relationship boost/malus between nations.

This is good. But with
it should be made clear that this may not be entirely voluntary on the other nations' part - otherwise there would be little reason for the diplomatic malus. Perhaps putting "agree" in quotes might be enough for that.

And here's the final civic group revision.
During the two or so weeks this lore revision was being worked on I received some complaints about it, so I thought it would be for the best to wait an additional 2 weeks while corrections are made and to decide whether or not if this will be included in the main mod.
EDIT: I've also attached the modified files as a modmod if you want to see how it looks in-game.

Incentivized (was Subsidized Agriculture)
Old: Your nation has uses subsidization for their agricultural system.

New: All of the nation's farms are controlled by the government.
Organic Farming (was Green Agriculture)
Old: Your nation has uses green for their agricultural system.
New: By using naturally occurring pesticides and fertilizers farms are able to pollute less and give healthier products, though this comes with the cost of decreasing their output.
Lab-grown Food (was Synthetic Agriculture)
Old: Grow algae for food
New: Mass-produced synthetic food replaces the need for land-based agriculture.
Nutrient Replication (was Food Replication)
Old: Tea, Earl Grey, Hot
New: Food can now be immediately assembled out of pre-existing matter.

Both groups are certainly improved by this.
There are some strange things, although that was already the case with the former lore, like the fact that the Berlin Wall was tied to Closed Borders, which is supposed to mean closed to immigrants. Sorry, but that has nothing to do with the Berlin Wall, which was supposed to keep Emigrants from leaving the country.
I understand that there are no different civics for treating immigrants vs. emigrants (although neither did the GDR stop anyone from immigrating - they were quite glad to get additional manpower, plus the propaganda bonus, nor is anyone in the USA AFAIK forcefully kept from leaving the country - as long as these people are neither imprisoned nor entrusted with certain secrets, I suppose). From what I can tell, the civics are more about immigrants - perhaps the "best solution" would be to rename the Berlin Wall, although I can foresee a tiny bit of resistance against including a certain other wall, after a contemporary US politician who I'm not going to name was "forcefully evicted" from the mod.

I can't give this the attention it needs. I am on holiday in an internet free zone. My only access is via the local library! I am not planning on being back for a couple of weeks more. Note: I am retired, so technically I am always on holiday, but I am visiting my mum which counts as a big change so therefore a holiday.
