[DEPRECATED] Better Roads

Description
DEPRECATED
I'm no longer maintaining this mod and likely won't even respond to comments here. This game option (and many more) is maintained in my flagship mod: DB's Civ VI Gold. Unsubscribe to this and subscribe to that.



What this mod does:
-Ancient roads = 2/3 movement point, supports bridges (a 2-movement unit can go 3 squares)
-Classical roads = 1/2 movement point (a 2-movement unit can go 4 squares)
-Industrial 1/3 movement point (a 2-movement unit can go 6 squares)
-Modern 1/4 movement point (a 2-movement unit can go 8 squares)
-Railroads 1/8 movement point (a 2-movement unit can go 16 squares)

-Builders and Military Engineers can construct roads (costs a build charge)

This mod was inspired by the Road part of the excellent "Plot's Roads And Movement v1.02".

I also made a Faster Modern Units mod that is similar to his Movement.

Just a quick note to say that this mod is now deprecated but the idea lives on as a Game Option in DB's Civ VI Gold .

As for Matt's Kilt, I don't know how much simpler it could be than 25 lines of SQL. Maybe he shouldn't stand on subway grates. :P

Added a link to this from my original, no longer supported mod.

alej you can open up the .xml file and delete the stuff about workers.

Is it gathering storm compatible?

How do I make builder cost NOT increase?

Gotcha! Appreciate the clarification! No glitches or issues up to turn 100. I'll continue to use this. Thanks.

Hi Matt,

When a mod is marked that it "Affects Saved Games" (ASG) then to see the mod in a game, you must create the game with the mod enabled. If you enable an ASG mod to a game-in-progress, you will not see it. This is how all gameplay-changing mods should be. I started a play-by-email (PBEM) game with my family 4 months ago with no mods enabled. Since then, I added a few dozen mods to my game (including "Plot's Roads"). When I start a new game, I expect to have Plot's Roads. When I load my turn in the PBEM game, I expect Plot's Roads to be disabled. Since his mod is not ASG it was being enabled to the PBEM game just like a purely cosmetic mod (e.g. CQUI, Better Report Screen, etc.).

The code was literally copy-pasted from Plotinus with the adjustments made that I wrote about. 98% of the time it took me to make this mod was writing an apt description. If the SQL tickles your kilt... it is Plot's SQL. :)

Kind regards,
DB

Nice! I can see why you would do this. So, just to sum up. The only differences between yours and Plotinus' are: 1. It does work on saved games!! (which is totally awesome, of course), 2. Bridge support got pushed back an era (historically and progression-wise, sure why not?) and, finally, 3. The builder's cost still scales vanilla-style . Well, you make a valid point there and if players disagree there's tons of others mods to give them a discount on the builder.

All in all, I like it! Gonna test it this very minute.

Is the coding simplified, tidier, easier to update when the time comes? That kinda stuff always blows my kilt up! :dotcute:
