Codex - Antiqua

Description
Adds Antiqua to the game, a Sponsor that focuses on Excavations and Artifacts.

This Mod only works with the Codex Overhaul Mod.

_______________________________________________________________

Sponsor Trait



Antiqua, under the leadership of the experienced ledaer Valarius Beaufort, is a sponsor that excels at making the best out of the knowledge they can gain from excavations.

Gaining culture from working Excavation Sites instead of letting an Explorer do its job might seem like a questionable choice, but it is supported by their unique Golden Age:

_______________________________________________________________

Golden Age



The Golden Age of Antiqua increases yields from Expeditions by an very large amount, and rewards well-coordinated excavations. It is a very strong strategy to save Excavations within your territory, working them for the extra culture until a Golden Age is ready to then pop them all at the same time and generate large amounts of... whatever that Excavation hides for you.

This is especially strong when combined with effects that have a chance to spawn new artifacts, such as the 'Discovery' Virtue found in the Society tree, or the Faraday Gyre Wonder.

My favourite sponsor, I love being rewarded for doing a lot of early game exploration.

The golden age bonus is nice but becomes almost useless in the mid-late game sadly, but I guess Antiqua are all about snowballing hard in the early game through exploration, which is what makes them powerful later in the game

@hercsad and @requiemfang, yeah sort-of like Vigo but to me it looks a whole lot more like Christopher Lambert in "Highlander".:steamhappy:

Now that is a very interesting idea for a leader, and I can't wait to try it out.

oooo ... excited to see your sponsor mod @Alterd-Rushnano

Right. Which isn't good practice, ideally everything would be part of the Sponsor Mod and not part of Codex, but because of the way plot bonuses work, that was unfortunately not possible in this case.

Looking forward to seeing the mod. :)

@Ryika
thanks! So the Golden Age of the Antiqua sponsor was built inside the CODEX mod system. I can now enter the sponsor mod production without worrying.

I will show you my sponsor mod that will soon be compatible with your mod. :-)

The Golden Age itself is defined in:
XML\LeaderUltimates\LeaderUltimates.xml

The actual effect is implemented in the Codex Mod itself, in the file:
Lua\PlotBonuses\Ryika_PlotBonusHelper.lua
(Which is loaded by all the files in the NewPlotBonuses-Subfolder)

Or, fortunately, the golden age of this sponsor has no effect?
I look forward to your response as one of the modder that CIV: BE wants to revive.
