Golden Age Policies

This mod adds Golden Age Policies into the game!

Why I made this: Something a lot of people have thought odd is that, due to Dark Age policies, sometimes it was more beneficial to go into a dark age than a golden age, and many felt that gameplay during a dark age was more interesting than a golden age. Dark Age policies are great, because they make dark ages interesting, but it led to them being more interesting than golden ages, which is unfortunate. To fix this, I have made Golden Age policies!

This will hopefully make golden ages more interesting, beneficial, and more clearly desirable, and make the timing of when you get a golden age to be more important since each bonus is significant but lasting only one era.



How it works: In every era there will be 3 unique golden age policies available. They are all wild cards, like dark age policies, but they don't have the drawbacks the dark age policies have. The policies can be viewed above by era. Due to limitations in the system, these policies are not hidden during an era like the dark age policies, but they will have no effect if you slot them. All policies which are golden age policies begin their description with "Golden Age: ..." so as to avoid any confusion. They do function like the dark age policies, however, in that they are only visible and selectable during their relevant era.



NOTE: Selecting a Golden Age policy during a non-Golden age will have no effect. Unfortunately there was no way to hide them. Also, if you have slotted a golden age policy and an era changes, it will unfortunately stay slotted. Once you slot something else it will disappear, so remember to do so. I will be looking into a fix for this, but am unsure if it's possible.

Feedback: I would love to hear your feedback for this mod! If you think anything is too powerful, not powerful enough, if you think of a better idea, or anything else, I would love to hear it. This is just the first version and I fully expect to be tweaking as I and others play with it and give feedback. As I am only one person, this could definitely use some more balance testing. I wholeheartedly welcome any feedback and criticisms as it will help me improve the mod and make a better game.

I hope you enjoy the mod!
