Old adaptation for VP by Gwennog

 

[Captain Carrot]

Obligatory praise of the addition of my country.

A minor nitpick though. "Zakhysnyy" (захисний) means "protective". "Protector" would be "zakhysnyk" (захисник).

And a few questions:
What does Withering fire do?
Do multiple Hetman Guards stack?
How much movement does the Osaul give?
What is Kiev replaced with?

 

[gwennog]

Thank you very much, I will correct. If you see anything else, I admit I relied on different online translators, nothing beats a speaker.

What does Withering fire do?

It's the promotion of cossacks: 25% Chance to force an Enemy Unit to retreat after taking Ranged Damage. If the Unit cannot retreat, it takes 50% more damage than normal.

Do multiple Hetman Guards stack?

No

How much movement does the Osaul give?

Crossing a river costs only 1 Movement.

What is Kiev replaced with?

Zagreb with compatibility to adan_eslavo's CS Leader for VP by Jarcast.

 

[Urzamax]

Very cool! Does the UA stack with the same bonus from Statecraft? I assume that you only get the Diplo-deal bonus from gold you receive rather than gold you spend? And does it take 5% of all of the gold of all your deals added together, or from each individual deal?

Lastly, what's the formula for the Sich's Mounted Unit Production bonus? Does it count Luxuries received as well as those you're trading to others?

 

[gwennog]

Very cool!

Thank you.

Does the UA stack with the same bonus from Statecraft?

Yes with the Policy Trade Confederacy and the Tenet Treaty Organisation.

assume that you only get the Diplo-deal bonus from gold you receive rather than gold you spend? And does it take 5% of all of the gold of all your deals added together, or from each individual deal?

The code used is pPlayer:GetGoldPerTurnFromDiplomacy(), so it's gold earned per turn minus gold spent.

Lastly, what's the formula for the Sich's Mounted Unit Production bonus? Does it count Luxuries received as well as those you're trading to others?

Not sure I can answer you, the formula is from @jarcast2 .

 

[jarcast2]

Lastly, what's the formula for the Sich's Mounted Unit Production bonus? Does it count Luxuries received as well as those you're trading to others?

It includes both exports and imports: for example you sell Coral and import Cinnamon => +5% x2 = +10%
Bonus does not increase if you trade multiple copies of the same luxury. Only one instance per luxury counts.

v.2 online:

Music bugfix, WarTheme Change, Ukrainian text correction

• Fixed a bug which caused the music not to continue after the end of the peace theme
• Increased the music sound level
• Change the War Theme for a very beautiful theme : Похід дружинників ("Хорея Козацька") / March of the soldiers ("Horea Kozatska")
• Correction of a Ukrainian word, Zakhysnyk for Protector Promotion, thanks to @Captain Carrot

 

[pineappledan]

What is the music fix? Is this something I need to look at doing for my civs?

 

[gwennog]

Maybe some if they contain ModSupport with Civilization_JFD_CultureTypes.
This part:

-- UPDATE Civilizations
-- SET SoundtrackTag = (SELECT SoundtrackTag FROM Civilization_JFD_CultureTypes WHERE CivilizationType = 'CIVILIZATION_KIEVAN_RUS_MOD')
-- WHERE Type = 'CIVILIZATION_KIEVAN_RUS_MOD';

must be removed or changed otherwise it empties the SoundtrackTag of the value you had loaded.

 

[gwennog]

I just looked at the Manchus and the wording is not a problem in this mod.

 

[Diomedes_]

This mod looks great! one problem, when I load it on the newest version of VP (even with no other mods), I don't have access to the 4UC components. Is this a known problem or is something wrong on my end?

They require the MUCfVP mod to work, so if you have only VP mods enabled they won't appear.
If you stil have problems, delete the cache folder then when you enable the mods make sure you enable MUCfVP before the civ.

v.3 online:

VP4.2 Compatibility and some modifications

• Use MajorBlocksMinor to not have the City-State in game
• Change part of the UA. Now gain 15% of the Gold from Diplomatics deals with other Civilizations as Great Merchant points, Culture and Science in the Capital.
• Sich has +2 Gold and Production base Yields but give only +10 City Hit Points for every City-State Friend or Ally.

Can I access an earlier version that works with VP 3.7.11? I like the civ, but I hate what is happening to VP in general in the last 12-15 months.

Have you tried with 3.7? I admit that I don't really remember the changes on the VP versions but it should be compatible.

 

[Zhao Yun]

Have you tried with 3.7? I admit that I don't really remember the changes on the VP versions but it should be compatible.

I tried that last night, but the civ didn't show up in the list of playable civs.
Have you got an older version that might work with 3.7.11, that you could put in a dropbox or something?

 

[gwennog]

In the History, you can find the old versions :

 

[jarcast2]

I just noticed this part of UA is uncoded in the last version:

Rivers extend the length of Land Trade routes as if they were roads.

In case you should add this in KyivanRusVP_GameDefines.sql

UPDATE Traits SET RiverTradeRoad = 1 WHERE Type = 'TRAIT_JUSTICE_OF_RUS_MOD';

Probably I forgot to add it.

It’s funny, we had the same thought together, probably following PDan’s proposal. I'll fix this quickly .

 

[jarcast2]

It is interesting to check if VP devs tied the "Rivers create City Connections" bit from Songhai trait to RiverTradeRoad = 1.
That'll imply also Kyivan Rus' would establish city connections among cities on the same river.
