Promotions - Expansion Pack

In 1 collection by BlouBlou
Bloublou's "Utility" Collection
25 items
Description
This mod add new promotions choices when leveling your units and also change the promotion tree system to improve customization possibilities.

It roughly triple your promotion choices for every unit, adding many new promotions, and rearranging dependencies on existing ones.


Features:
  • Expands the promotion system with roughly 3 times the number of promotion available in vanilla for each unit.
  • Changes the tree system for easier browsing and promotion planning. (See Screenshots for visual support)


    The state of 'promotions' in Vanilla:
  • Every unit has 2 choice of 'basic promotion' based on terrain type or domain.
  • To these basic skill is attached a skill tree who expand as you level one of the base skill.
    For example: Drill I - Drill II - Drill III OR Shock I - Shock II - Shock III , would open the rest of the vanilla skill.

    Changes with the mod:
  • There is now a 'Promotion Level' concept. A new generic skill with 3 level has been assigned to every unit. This skill is the 'Unlocker' of higher level promotion.
  • All the 'basic promotion' has been converted into 'Level 1 promotions', All former Vanilla Promotion have been distributed in different Promotion level and many custom promotions were added and distributed as well.
    Now, every time you level you can buy a promotion of the skill level youre at, or you can buy the Unlocker to raise your promotion level and expand your promotion list choices.
    So, available for your first level up is: the unlocker and the former 2 'Basic promotion' of the unit (you start at promotion level 1).
  • The unlocker skill is a generic, useful to all unit, promotion that slightly increase attack and def (stackable) and raise your %EXP GAIN, making leveling a little less exponential in term of cost and allow a more interesting end game play.
  • The Air system was left untouched for balance reasons.

Notes:
  • Remember when you level, you can Change the name of the unit (edit button right beside 'Promotion').
    So with a 'custom build' from a tree to choose from and named units you can start RolePlaying in CIV5 !
    Can you build a unit that will stand the test of time?

  • Supports English, Russian and Italian language, Thank to Ixa1999 for Italian translation and to Maxyzzz940 for Russian translation.

Compatibility:
  • Requires Gods and Kings Expansion
  • Compatible with Brave New World Expansion

This mode is very interesting
emblask 11 Sep, 2023 @ 4:46am 
it (mostly) works with Vox Populi, the bugs i assume are related to the optional UI mod promotion tree (4a) which i disabled because of what people said here so i don't know about that, either way, the promotions from Vox Populi are unfortunately not affected by this mod so for the double shot from archers for instance you need to go the regular way (3 barrage? first)
Machixius 8 Jul, 2023 @ 5:31pm 
Late, but adding to this, make vox populi compatible version.
BurningCrisis Savage 2 Feb, 2023 @ 7:01pm 
Agreed, please make work with populi and the community patch

Are there any plans to make this compatible with vox populi/the community patch promotion tree? I'm experiencing some bugs, if there's interest in making these compatible (which I think would be awesome) I can provide specifics (and might be able to help out with dev and testing if needed as well).

Hi Byzarkandian

Unfortunatly i am a solo player so i never had to make mods work in multiplayer, i know its doable but havent researched or tried it. So i dont have altered file like you wanted, sorry.

I am happy that you enjoy the mods and good luck in your editing !

Hello BlouBlou I love your work, I play lots of Civ V Multiplayer With my dad and we don't hotseat so I have been editing the game files so that we can play internet games with the changes our favorite mods change, for example the barbarian EXP unlimited. recently I have changed other files to the live game and they have gone really well and have enhanced our gaming. the reason I comment is that I really love this promotions mod and it seems to be all XML file changes which are the ones I am comfortable changing and I was wondering if you ever did something similar where you updated your live game files so you can play with some of your mods in a live game or in multiplayer and if so if you had a copy of the files you changed for the promotions because while I love this mod as it adds a lot I am not comfortable going in and changing everything like that to make it work. If you have those files or any advice that would be so exceptionally appreciated and if not I still love your work!

Hi There !
The closest thing to a written list would be the mod file. You can look at the XML and extract the info you are looking for. This may be a little tedious depending on how you want it arranged.

You can also install the IGE mod (live game editor) make a unit of each type, give it max level like in the screenshots and list your promotion tree by hand from there.

Sorry that i dont have a spreadsheet or list that isnt part of the code for the mod.

Thx for your interest in the mod and have a good day !
