Indonesia Improved

Description
Indonesia's bonuses are too based on luck and don't have enough potential reward. This helps to fix that.

  • Spice Islanders now gives 2 copies of 4 luxuries instead of 3. The new unique luxury is Turmeric. It also no longer cares where you place cities, which means it also applies to the capital itself. This fixes three things: 1) The AI will no longer have any trouble using the trait. Previously it almost never did except on Archipelago maps. 2) The trait was a bit too weak. Making it available earlier and adding a fourth luxury improves it enough. 3) The trait was unreliable. Indonesia didn't get any benefit on some map types at all, and even on water-heavy maps might not see much for quite a while.

  • Candi now replaces Shrine instead of Garden. It never made sense to replace Garden; historically speaking, it should always have been a Shrine or Temple. I chose the earlier of the two so that Indonesia could have an early faith bonus and be competitive for religion. I also halved the bonus faith per religion represented in the city (+1 each instead of +2). This front-loads the faith while limiting potential, which helps to remove the luck reliance while still balancing.

  • To fix the Kris Swordsman's potential bad promotions (yes, I consider it a fix because that was terrible game design), a separate mod is available here.

Having issues with this and the 3UC mod, the wayang is not being added for some reason.

Thank you ! Very nice mod.

I found out why this mod wasn't working with other resource mods: the code line <ID>101</ID> is what keeps this mod from working properly. If you remove it, it should work just fine with other resource mods.

Indonesia Improved does not like other resource mods. Every time Barathor's more luxuries is updated I have to unsubscribe and resubscribe to this one otherwise no resources show up. When I downloaded a resource expansion pack, the game crashed until I disabled Indonesia Improved. When I unsubscribed and resubscribed to this it wouldn't work at all. Something in the code does not want to work with other resource mods.

thank you so much for adding an improvement for my country :D

My problem seems to have been resolved. I unsubscribed from Indonesia Improved, started a game and quit, resubscribed and now everything seems to be working fine. Very strange.

I am having the same problem as jjohlin088, this mod is conflicting with Barathor's mod. Is there a way to make them work together?

Hey, I like your mod, but for some reason when I try to use it with Barathor's More Luxuries and Optimized Resource Distribution the two mods seem to conflict with one another and cause graphical anomalies. I was just wondering if the two of you could communicate and figure out a way where people can use both your mods at the same time. Because I want to use them both :D

Thank you, I thought I was going to have to delete my cache again, and for some reason this mod doesn't work properly if I do that. I really like not having to look for islands to take advantage of Indonesia's ability!

@skaz88
That happens any time the game tries to use a mod-added icon in one of those right-side popups. You'll notice it in other mods, such as if Wonder Race informs you about a mod-added Wonder, for example. There's nothing I can do about that as far as I know. In all other instances, Turmeric should correctly display its icon.
