Eras - Classical Age

Description
This mod reshapes the game parameters to let you experience a complete game in the Classical age instead of few turns.


Features:

  • Tech tree wont progress after Classical age (so you wont reach other Eras). Also, several adjustment have been made to the tree to transfert fundamental features that would have been locked otherwise.
  • Technologies cost have been adjusted to scale properly for a full game in the Classical age.
  • Dates increment have been adjusted so that when you are near the end of Classical age, the date will increment much slower since its the final age (like modern age in normal games).
  • If 'Time' Victory has been selected, then after the 1500 turn, the date will fit perfectly with the historical end of the Classical Age (Around 500 AD).
  • AI Civilizations choices have been restricted to civilization that have their unique unit in Classical Age or fit in historically, allowing much more diversity for Warfare with unique units fighting each other. So when an AI is set on random, or when you dont go through advanced setup, Ai will always pick a civ that fit this era. No civ restriction is applied to the player, but i strongly recommend you picking a civilization that fit in this era
  • All of the diplomacy options that were after classical age age have been regrouped into a Tech Called 'Diplomacy' that was incorporated into the Classical age tech tree, so you can do research agreement, Defense Pact and Open borders.
  • Cities can convert their production to gold and science right from the start with 'Agriculture' to prevent a city to be forced to produce millitary units when you dont want to.
  • Accessibility to 'Patronage' and 'Commerce' policies in the classical age
  • Adds the ability to build trading post in the classical age after researching 'Currency'.
  • 'Sea' tech tree has been altered with Embarkation available a earlier and Harbors transfered to the end of Classical age tree to allow Sea trade route and naval warfare.
  • Also, an additional Sea tech have been added at the start of the Tree: Fishing, to balance the Harbor and Embark changes.
  • the Technology 'Sailing' Now allow 2 Ship type (melee/ranged) to be built instead of just Trireme. (see below)
  • A custom unit has been added to Classical Age Naval: The Battle Galley (Naval Melee). Trireme have returned to Naval Ranged, making Naval Melee and Ranged possible at Classical age. (The custom Icons of diferent Size are made by JBAR81 and used with his permission. The same apply for the 'Fishing' Technology.)
  • All Naval and embarqued unit are allowed to cross ocean with the 'Optic' tech (classical age) instead of Astronomy, so you can still play islands map.
  • Espionage is available at classical age and you get 2 spies.
  • 'Barracks' and 'Walls' now also act as a counter-espionage building by reducing enemy spy stealing rate by 33%. (Also affect all unique Barracks and Walls like Krepost, Ikanda or Wall of Babylon)
  • Building 'flavor' have been adjusted for 'Barracks' and 'Walls' to add espionage flavor, so the AI will also use them as counter-espionage buildings. (Also affect all unique Barracks and Walls like Krepost, Ikanda or Wall of Babylon)
  • The Future Tech concept has been renamed to 'Enlightenment' and transfered to Classical age. A repeating technology that will increase your score and give +1 Culture and +1 Gold in your Capital each time it is researched.
  • 2 additional trade routes have been added to this era, One after researching 'Mathematics' and one after researching 'Diplomacy'. Also, 'Optics' now extend the range of sea trades routes instead of 'Compass'. (Brave New World Users)
  • Maya's 'Long Count' Trait have been adjusted to be enabled by 'Calendar' instead of 'Theology' to prevent the era blocking to block this effect.
  • Since no non-unique building of this era could host Great Artist Works, the 'Garden' was moved to Classical Era and a Great work of Art/Artifact Slot was added as well as removing the river or lake requirement. Included all unique Gardens. (Brave New World Users).
  • Added the 'Artists Guild' to Classical era to allow you to fill the slot in your 'Palace' and 'Garden' and also all the slots provided by the 'Cathedral' faith building if you chose this belief. (Brave New World Users)
  • 'National College' Science Yield have been reduced but now provides Great Writer points. (Brave New World Users)
  • The 'Grand Temple' is now available upon researching 'Philosophy'.
  • Since you cant build a spaceship, scientific victory isn't an option, but having a high science can make you win Timed game from score and progressivly increase your Gold and Culture output when researching the Future Tech.

  • Civilopedia is fully fonctional with custom units and tech.

@enakrabia If you load the Game without going through the mods menu the save file may not load it. If you just load the game by going to 'MODS' and then to 'Load Game'.

So no one seems to adress the biggest problem this mod faces. Long games. The way this mod is build is fine for the most part aside from some technical problems with the naval units. However things stop being fine and dandy when you go for a marathon game because as long as your city is in a good location it won't stop growing. This generates a LOT of unhappiness with no way to realisticly offset it.

So the only way to play this mod is by having happiness system disabled. Otherwise your civ will get stuck in a constant loop of spawning barbarians and hardly producing anything. And since settlers require you to have positiv happiness it also means you can't expand anymore.

Thankfully this is rather easy to fix in terms of gameplay: All that needs to be added is a +1 happiness bonus upon every research of enlightenment. This would keep sciene relevant for growth and expansions of your empire.

I got this mod working on linux.

Step 1: Manually download the mod through steam workshop downloader (google it)

Step 2: Rename all the files in the mod to be lowercase

Step 3: Change the filenames in the modinfo file to reflect the new lowercase filenames

Step 4: Manually place the mod folder in the MODS folder.

Hi, i find a problem with navals units. When you play with a mod civilization with a special trireme this unit is worthless because it cant melee attack and it have galley promotions.

I think that can will resolve if battle galley will are the ranged naval unit and trireme was normal.
This is just a opinion

PD: sorry for my bad english
