What about SoI?
Unique City-States
- Thread starter Enginseer
- Start date
Also applies if congress is founded. Moreover, it remains even after removing SoI through a resolution
How about Sidon? Does it have the same problem with SoI?
Sidon and Lhasa work as intended.
This issue is to fix, but what's more important I found an error for religion on meeting.
Change
Code:
Game.DoEnactResolution(eSphere, tLostCities["eLostJerusalem"], eMajor)
Code:
Game.DoEnactResolution(eSphere, tLostCities["eLostJerusalem"], ePlayer)This shouldn't be true. I set up the treshold few updates ago? Do you have this line in the code:
Code:
local bIsMajorCanHaveTR = pMajorPlayer:GetNumInternationalTradeRoutesUsed() < pMajorPlayer:GetNumInternationalTradeRoutesAvailable()How many Friendly Mercantile CSs do you have in your game, how many of them are your friends, and how often do you get these units? I set the chance to 1% and still there's a problem? Damn!

Yep, I have the line. I only have UCS v11 (not sure which sub-version), so that might be the problem. I think I have the most recent version, but I could be mistaken. I hadn't paid much attention to the specifics of Caravan arrival and have several different games where this happened. Let me reinstall and see if that improves the issue.
Is that line supposed to limit the free Caravans to your max TRs, or am I misreading it?

Yes, and I remember checking it, and was working. If you install v11.3 and still has this issue let me know and I will look at that once more.
@Urzamax Limits were introduced in v11.1. I copied the solution from another mod afair.
EDIT:
I checked this stuff one more time, and it works as intended. When I reached the cap, no CS was gifting me trade unit even though I set the spawn chnce on 100%. No matter if these units were used or just stayed in the city. Can you confirm?

@APLion SoI over Jerusalem will now be applied every ally state change, so when you become an Ally with Jerusalem, you will get SoI for free, but if you lose it (because it is repealed) then you won't get it again, unless someone takes it over from you (he gets SoI at that moment) and then you will retake it.
This should prevent the infinite SoI issue.
Any other bugs to fix? It's the right time to call. I could miss something during last months. I tried to check them right away, but...

Can you elaborate? I don't know exactly what it means and how to reproduce that. Anyone else has this issue?
No problem on my side.

v12 is on with few important fixes that waited waaay too long to be resolved. But, finally I managed to do this so:
Code:
- now liberated CSs also get their passives;
- fixed Jerusalem taking Religion upon meeting;
- fixed Jerusalem's infinite Sphere of Influence (now applied only on ally change);
- fixed IMPROVEMENT_LUMBERMILL_JUNGLE sql bug;
- copied the Promotion Flags stuff to UCS;
- Friendly Militaristic CSs now have an additional 1% chance to gift a unit (was 3%)

Superduper! Thank you very much
v13 is on the way. Huge update with new CSs, reworked abilities and tons of fixes. Deadline is not known, but I hope it will be released in the first half of August.Superduper! Thank you very much
Thank you for your hard work!
Here you can see the current state. This file is read-only, but it is really helpful for the balancing and might be useful to find what you need during the gameplay:
UCS Abilities Spreadsheet
If you have any useful ideas, please share them, but they must be supported with some additional information (like lua functions or tables that could be used to program them, accurate balanced values of yields ar modifiers) and should match the history of city-state itself or its leader you can find in the CSL modmod.
Remember it is the beta state of v13, so it will change a lot in next weeks.

Just visually separated abilities parts. All in frame is a whole ability given every time.

This is the update probably all of you awaited for a very long time. After important v12 fixing few crucial bugs, I decided (after the small talk with @jarcast2) to expand the mod a bit after months of neglecting.
The core of the v13 update are of course new City-States you can integrate with. There are 9 new Religious City-States, all with new abilities. Everything is comptible with CSL v18, PO v37 and MC v13 mods (all these modmods are updated and linked in my signature).
Of course, new City-States are not everything. Because many people complained about how plain and useless are the CSs abilities, I decided (with help of @Flamingcheesepie) to spend almost 70% of time on reworking all so far coded (partially by @Enginseer, partially by me) abilities. There were few goals I had in mind doing this rework:
a) make the abilities stronger and with more impact on gameplay (no more abilities adding only +x yields on certain buildings, improvements or resources);
b) add some abilities introducing new improvemnts, buildings, units or resources (recources are planned for next updates though);
c) "spread" the abilities to allow the player use them in different situations and gameplay styles (each ability with few exceptions consists of at least 2 smaller parts focusing on different things, together creating the complete thematic flavour related to the CS history or life of its leader from CSL);
d) change some abilities to fit more the historical accuracy of the nation or leader of particular City-State;
With this in mind, almost 90% of the abilities were reworked and in rest there could be small value tweaks or other minor changes. Have that in mind when playing the v13 for the first time, and report any crucial bugs you notice or some feedback info about how weak or how strong certain abilities are.
Beside that I expanded lua abilities with very rich notifications explaining the most important events that can happen and did hundreds of small tweaks and fixes of bugs I found during long weeks of my work.
Last thing worth mentioning is a total rework of current texts of the CSs abilities. There are now filled with new icons, including those added in latest VP versions. Text are enriched with colours (colour code copied from MW mod) informing about what is the topic of the buff (f.e. brown=improvement, dark blue=terrain, etc.). Of course there were also multiple minor fixes, adding more details, improving readability, and dozens of text QoL fixes.
I hope you'll enjoy the mod, as I enjoyed the work on that version. Of course it's not the end, but an important stage was ended. Now I can start working on new CSs and when I get some feedback from you, I will surely try to balance the stuff from this update and fix any crucial bugs that could sneak in.
I hope also more people will try this mod, as it is now much more similar to Civ6's Suzerain mod in terms of ability power and their diversity.
Below I share again the link where we did deep planning phase for ability ideas and new City-States. Here you can look at them in a pleasant way without running the game:
