thecrazyscotsman's Omnibus 1.2.3

[thecrazyscot]

I'm primarily still unhappy with production times in the game, and I felt that this was a rather balanced way to increase production as it scales with city size, which in turn requires investment in Housing and planning in order to grow very large. Smaller cities will receive a relatively minor production boost, while larger cities can receive an additional 10+ production, which will also help high-growth/low-production cities be more useful. Finally it should help counteract some of the changes I've made to internal trade routes to reduce their absolute importance. To be fair I haven't yet played a full game with it, so some balancing may be necessary.

Do you also get to see this notification if you have a big empire and switch to a city not in your current world view?

It pops up briefly over every city in your empire when the turn begins, so I believe so.

I get that, it makes sense. But I think it might have the unintended consequence of doing the opposite. This is, of course, purely theorising.

By giving another (on top of culture and science) benefit to raw population, you are making population more important relative to infrastructure. Furthermore a new pop costs less, in terms of raw food and in the difficulty in getting housing and amenities for that extra pop, in a small city than in a big city. So this change might actually make lots of small cities more attractive than fewer bigger cities, as the former will always have more total pop.

As I said, just theorising.

There certainly could be a danger of that, I think it could be mitigated with some careful balancing. For instance, instead of a straight 0.5 production per citizen it could start with smaller cities, say under size 4 not receiving any bonus. Then after that it ramps up slowly, until after say size 12 it's the full 0.5 production per citizen.

What is the planning for getting the Omnibus mod up to date again? Days, weeks, months?

 

[asdazza]

I miss this mod... any chance to get it updated or it's gone forever?

 

[asdazza]

Still up this, i see tcs profile active sometimes... maybe he will type something here

 

[thecrazyscot]

Sorry guys, I've been absent due to the birth of my child!

Regarding the status of the Omnibus, I think I'm going to put it on hold in light of the expansion pack announcement. After the xpac drops we'll see.

[Buni0ns]

Congrats!

Hopefully you can get back to the mod once you've had a chance to enjoy daddyhood and its inevitable flood of extra responsibilities and work.

Also once youv'e had a chance to enjoy R&F a bit of course.

I'm already anticipating the R&F goodness with your Omnibus.

Yes. That's why I suggested it.
If you're making babies, you don't need an entertainment centre.
