Great People Nerf

Update: I've published a new mod which do the same as well as making guilds, imo, less stupid. It's advised to check it before subscribing to this mod (you can't have both).



When you are playing with any mod, which separates great people counters, than eventually you will be overran with great people, so your end game will became even more crumpled.

This mod is fixing the problem by nerfing most powerful abilities of them. Also it changes some other inconsistencies in GP system. You can use it standalone, it still will be more balanced than in basic game.

1. All GP tile improvements provide +6 of the corresponding yield and got additional +2 bonus at one of the later techs.

2. All specialists provide +3 of the corresponding yield.

3. Scientist "bulb" ability is greatly weakened (~ 40% of original)

4. Engineer "rush" ability if nearly the same at the early game, but weaker (~50%) at the late game.

5. Great Admiral got +1 move and sight.

6. Custom Houses got +2 gold when built on a road

7. Academies, Custom Houses, Holy Sites and Manufactures can't be build adjasent to the same inprovement.

If you don't like any of the changes - navigate to
Users\...your username...\Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 5\MODS\Great People Nerf
and delete file named after corresponding Great Person type.

It should work with most other mods, which doesn't change the same things. No problems was reported by now.

Early Eras Fix Babylon UA is supported.

Works with all mods I'm using
