1st win as Tibet, finally. Brilliant move on the Khampa horsemen. But I don't think the conversion UHV is working out ok, yet. I converted Tang, Chola and Chalukya. Then I converted Chola and Chalukya again after they had switched back to Hinduism. And then I won after spreading Buddhism to two Korean cities after they switched themselves. I could not convert the old Confucian Viet Nam, Korea and Ghaznavids diplomatically bc they never liked me enough despite being pleased with me. Gupta was already Buddhist when I spawned. Khmer had taken Indrapura, converted to Hinduism and never wanted to switch out of Divine Cult. Gokturks never wanted to switch out of Shamanism even despite getting Islam spread to all of their cities. I could have gone for a coastal city to convert Tondo, but that's not what you had in mind, 'aight? I'd say converting 7 civs to Buddhism is not enough in your hands to be a UHV. Spreading Buddhism to a good amount of cities should be less luck-based.
The last UHV has some flaws, i admit.
- Tang is considered Buddhist because they should end up with it. Right now, you have to convert civs that aren't labeled 'Buddhist' by myself resp. Const.py (Sri Vijaya, Tocharians, Burma fe are always Buddhist without exception so far). Tang is labeled Buddhist as well; they start with some Buddhist missionaries and the have Buddhism as their favorite religion in XML. Right now this tag is useless, but i intend to tweak the AI a little, so Tang will be Buddhist more often.
- If a 'non-Buddhist' civ starts with Buddhism, like Gupta, that is a little unfortunate. I should think of a way to consider that.
- It's a luck-based whether some civs adopt Buddhism without you or not, like Japan, Korea or Vietnam, making it easier, or they could be dead making it harder.
But those problems are rather caused by a clumsy code than a bad idea. It hasn't been there yet in RFC and i find it fun to play; i had one out of 20+ games with Tibet when all those problems added up for a game that wouldn't have worked, and that was when all of India was already Buddhist when i started, and SE Asia was full of Indies. You need Diplomacy, Production for Missionaries and units to protect them on their journey, and if that doesn't help, Espionage does the trick (works even on Ghaznavids and Gokturks)
I will look for a better way to code that.
Mongol UHV1 still bugged, but the free Keshik on city conquest is a fair solution.
The 2 sets of UHVs for Mongolia don't work out right now, so the system will be changed anyway. Either i drop it completely, to make you only go for a Yuan Empire, or i will implement it in some other way. It would be neat to select one out of more LHs (each with different UHVs) on the civ-selection screen, but i have never seen a mod or a scenario that offers that option. Having said that, i might try to do it via python event, that you can change LH at the start.
Thanks for the feedback
Thanks, praise is always appreciated.
