Triple Tech (Voobly Original Remake)

Description
This is a remake of the original triple tech mod on voobly, which also includes tripled civilization bonuses.

For balancing reasons, each positive bonus (increased HP, speed, damage...) stacks additively, while each negative bonus (decreased production time, decreased cost...) stacks multiplicatively. Bonuses that give "double" something are considered as a +100% increase (so when tripled they are +300%, and not +700%).
Also, bonuses such as incas "houses support 10 population" are considered such as "houses support +5 population".


WARNING: Britons and Franks make the game crash when starting at imperial or postimperial age. No idea on why this occurs, so for now just make sure yu don't use these settings with these 2 civilizations. They still work properly if you simply reach those ages by game means, so it shouldn't be a problem for most games.

WARNING2: You will be able to join games if you don't have the DLCs, but you won't be able to create them.

A few balance changes were applied (on top of the ones mentioned in the original voobly mod) in order to tone down bonuses that were too strong. This is the complete list of things that are either not tripled or a bit different than you might expect.

- BRITONS: foot archer bonus range and archery range production speed are only doubled
- GOTHS: Perfusion (barracks production speed) can only be researched twice
- TEUTONS: team bonus (resistence to conversion) is unchanged (haven't figured out how it works...)
- JAPANESE: Kataparuto (trebuchets attack and mount/dismount speed) can only be researched twice.
- CHINESE: they are as expected, which means they start woth 12 villagers and negative food. This might be too unbalanced, so feedback is appreciated.
- BIYZANTINES: building hp bonus only doubled, because if they go over 32k HP they get automatically destroyed.
- PERSIANS: Mahouts (elephants movement speed) can only be researched twice. Sorry, no Ferrari/immortal siege/cavalry for you.
- SARACENS: market feee is now completely removed. Madrasah (Monks refund part of their cost) can only be researched once, because I'm still working on how to implement it.
- MONGOLS: Drill (siege units speed) can only be researched twice.
- SPANISH: team bonus (trade gold) and builder speed are only doubled.
- AZTECS: Garland Wars (infantry attack) can only be researched twice. Team bonus (relic gold generation) is only doubled. Probably monks are too tanky with triple hp per tech and triple techs, need to playtest.
- MAYANS: longer lasting resources are unchanged, because it's a bit hard to implement. It's in the bucket list. Triple Obsidian Arrows may be too strong.
- HUNS: Atheism can only be researched once because I don't really know how it works. Wood malus is not tripled, since the "no houses" bonus is unchanged. Trebuchet accuracy may be off, because accuracy is weird.
- INCAS: free llama/turkey is not tripled, still trying to understand how it works.
- SLAVS: researching Druzhina (infantry AOE damage) multiple times increases the blast radius.
- PORTUGUESE: researching Arquebus (ballistics for gunpowder units) multiple times only increases the projectile speed.
- MALIANS: infantry pierce armor bonus is only doubled.
- KHMER: 15 villagers can now garrison in one house. Double Crossbow (additional Scorpion projectile) can only be researched twice.
- MALAY: researching Thalassocracy (upgrade Docks to Harbors) multiple times should only increase their damage output. Needs to be checked.
- BURMESE: infantry attack bonus is only doubled. Manipur Cavalry (cavalry and Arambai bonus damage to buildings) can only be researched twice.



List of latest changes:

Fixes:
- CHINESE: Town Center now only supports 20 population, instead of 30.

Balance Changes:
- KHMER: Double Crossbow (additional Scorpion projectile) can only be researched twice.

The Magyar Recurve Bow does not increase attack.
The Huns (and possibly other civs) get ring archer armor twice (a tech their civilization does not get).

Franks castle tech (range +1 and +40% faster stables) doesn't seem to work.

@Horakhty I't been a long time since i last checked on this mod, so I'm not 100% sure, but if I recall correctly that is supposed to be the case, and it is the same for any civilization that has a similar bonus :)

@Brisvag Hi nice mod, I don't know if its normal because you don't talk about it but if you play VIKINGS only the FIRST Wheelbarrow techs and Hand cart techs are free and automatically researched you still need to research it 2 more times at full cost.

@me is joris, I did this mod mostly to play with friends, and balanced it according to our collective decisions. I don't plan on making multiple versions, but you will probably find another mod that does what you want on the wokshop.

@MrFine, I haven't checked it in a while, and have no time at the moment, sorry. Have you tried keeping base settings for everything else?

Can you please make it so these balance changes are removed in an extra workshop item? I'd love to play this but having to balance this mode quite kills the fun...

the last few times i've played with this, it completely removed Unique Techs, and Aztec monk civ bonus didn't work at all

@LEO, I guess you probably need DLCs to start the game, but you can still join an existing one ivev if you only have the base game. Adding it to the description, since I don't know how to fix this atm.
