What mods do you use? (civ V)

Posted: 09 Jul 2018 07:29 PM PDT

Almost every post I see on here has some sort of mod applied to it. One of the most common is the extra notifications/popups bar on the left side with units, and seemingly more info. I was looking for some suggestions for must have or cool mods for civ 5.

Specifically looking for something that allows selection of multiple units.

Possible great way to improve mid-late game

Posted: 09 Jul 2018 08:40 AM PDT

I cannot count the number of games I've started, enjoyed for 50-100 turns and then quit because the game stagnated or I made frustrating mistakes trying to micromanage 10+ cities. I have 1,362 hours logged in Civ6 and I think I've only finished 5 or 6 games. The last one was months and months ago, maybe over a year even.

Which brings me to my theoretical suggestion: What if there were a mechanic that reduced your ability to control every little detail of your civ as it got bigger?

Think about it. Modern day presidents - and even strict dictators - don't really decide everything that is produced in their respective countries. It's often city councils, mayors, regional committees or governors who decide how to improve the land around their areas of control and what they produce. The decisions of national leaders have the effect of setting the tone and priorities for the country and forbidding certain activities.

In civ, this would mean that every game starts just as it does now and you'd have strict control over everything as a powerful despotic ruler. But as your civ expands, say past 4 or 5 cities, your ability to control each of your cities is diminished. Or maybe instead of the number of cities it could work according to distance from your capital. A city (for example) that's more than 10 tiles away from your capital with no road connection to it gains some amount of autonomy. This could take the form of an AI mechanic taking control of that city's production or workers in that city's territory could only improve the tiles the AI wants you to. Something like that. Stationing troops in the city could give you back another level of control, as would certain social policies and connecting the city to your capital by road.

Different governments would also give different levels of control, with democracy giving you no direct control over any of your cities but rewarding you with other perks, maybe bonus gold and production in each city. Social policies or some similar mechanism would set the national agenda. Need to work on science? You can set priority for that in different creative ways. Need to build an army fast? The policy of conscription could force your cities to produce a certain quota of units in the next X turns.

War would of course have a huge effect on this, and during wartime rulers could take more total control of their cities at the price of decreased happiness. This also has potential to interact well with the loyalty system. Outlying cities that want more autonomy than you can (or want) give them lose loyalty and are more likely to revolt. Spawning barbarians in your inner empire would be more likely and you could be forced to change government types if enough of your empire was unhappy. This would require a delicate balance during war in particular. If the threat was real, you might be forced to take dictator-like control over your cities to produce the units you need to survive. The more dictator-like you become however, the more unhappy your people will be and the more likely they'll be to overthrow your government.

While adding a fascinating new feature to the game that simultaneously reflects real history and offers new strategic depth to the game, this would end the nightmare of micromanagement when it becomes overwhelming, naturally allowing you to make more general decisions about your empire as the game progresses. This would improve the pace and keep the mid-late game more interesting and flexible. This would also provide new challenges, as cities wouldn't always produce exactly what you'd want them to. During war you may have to make do with whatever units you've got to survive or conquer. During peace, you may need to adjust the victory type you're going for depending on what your people are building. Maybe your AI cities built a lot of campuses because they recognized high-yield spots for them and now you find you have a bit more of an edge in technology than religion as you originally planned.

Only problem is introducing another AI mechanic into the game when the ones that already exist are mostly just ok.

Anyway, these are just theoretical ideas. What are your guys' thoughts?

Have you guys ever nuked your neighbor because they don’t know how to keep their troops on their side of the border?

Posted: 09 Jul 2018 07:57 PM PDT

I was playing Civ 3 and my neighbor Gandhi send his troops across my land to attack my neighbor who I liked.

Understand my relationship with Gandhi isn't the greatest; We already fought 2 wars in which one was a victory for me and one ended in a stalemate.

His army had about the same equipment but was slightly smaller. I was more powerful than him because I had a decent stockpile of tactical nukes and few ICBM.

I sent him a ultimatum to get out of my land and this guy declares war on me. I responded by attacking his troops in my land and by nuking his border cities and sent my troops in to his nuked border cities and took them. I also started doing bombing runs on cities and natural resources that he had. This war ended in me taking 4 cities and crippling Gandhi, I didn't want loose anymore troops/nukes to try to take him over.

Bonus question- Have you guys ever invaded a nation because they had nuclear weapons and were a threat to you?

How do you deal with a religion crazy civ?

Posted: 09 Jul 2018 06:18 PM PDT

For Civ 5. Hey guys. One of the biggest issues I have with this game is how religion scales as the centuries go on. I mean I get it, religion gets less important as time goes on but the AI doesn't see that. I struggle to put out even one missionary with desert folklore and religion buildings, but the civ, namely Spain and Siam, just poop out missionaries like its nobody's business. Before I know it half the map is covered with their fate.

Is there a mod which improves religion in this game, or what can I do in response?
