Sukritact's Sumer Rework

Description
[bsky.app]



My biggest issue with "Sumeria" is that they've never felt like the "Cradle of Civilization". Where are the farms? Where are the booming Ancient Era cities? Instead, the civ has always been an extension of Gilgamesh, with Ziggurats thrown in for good measure.

This aims to fix that, as well as a few other things. It renames the civ to the more correct "Sumer". It nerfs the War-Cart some what so the early game War-Cart rush isn't quite as devastating. It keeps the Ziggurat a vital part of the Sumerian economy while limiting Ziggurat spam. Overall, the changes should make Sumeria a more interesting civ to play as.

Sumer:

Unique Ability: Cuneiform - Newly founded cities begin with +1 Population. Farms adjacent to a River yield +1 Science when next to the City Center, or +1 Faith when next to a Ziggurat.

Unique Unit: Giš-Gigir - Sumerian unique Ancient era unit that replaces the Heavy Chariot. Available from the start of the game and cheaper to train. 4 Movement when starting in open terrain.

Unique Improvement: Ziggurat - Unlocks the Builder ability to construct a Ziggurat, unique to Sumer.+1 Science. +1 Science for every 2 adjacent farms. +1 Faith for each adjacent District. Provides +1 Amenity if adjacent to the City Center. Cannot be built on Hills but may be built on Floodplains. Cannot be placed adjacent to another Ziggurat.
--------------------------------------------------------------

Gilgamesh:

Leader Ability: Epic of Gilgamesh - When you capture a Barbarian Outpost, receive a Tribal Village reward in addition to the usual Gold. May purchase War-Carts, Battering Rams, Siege Towers, and Melee units with Faith.

Many thanks to the devs at Firaxis for making Sumer in the first place!

It's to weaken the Warcart Rush, Sumer's extra pops are absurd in early game so to prevent unstoppable Gis rush. Balance! Warcart was always absurdly good anyways

Wonderful to see Sumer get some love! Just one thing I don't understand. The UU is way weaker than the war-cart, since it's missing 2 combat strength as well as the bonus against Anti-Cav. Maybe it's the intention to drive Sumer more towards building rather than war-cart spam, but I think it takes something from Sumer. Still love what you did!

Checked in 2024. Seems to actually work in Heroes & Legends mode, so long as you don't Load Configuration settings from before the mod is installed. Additionally, when subscribing, gotta make sure that you restart your game, too (may or may not be necessary). Used this with a 110+ modpack *and* having almost every additional gamemode on, and finally figured out why it wasn't quite working.
The only ability lost in Heroes mode, however, is the "buy units with faith" ability, and it's replaced with the Production / Lifespan buff to heroes for Gilgamesh, HOWEVER, the tribal reward for barb camps / clan clearing *is* still there.

hope this helps anyone in the future still reading these

The design of the Ziggurat is good but +1 population is OP. In the beginning you're basically twice as efficient as everyone else.

I really like this rework. but out of curiosity, may I ask why the Ziggurat's original Culture bonuses were removed as well? (Especially when considering the Sphinx for Egypt has Cultural bonuses, aside from Faith)

I believe I've found a bug:

When a ziggurat is destroyed by natural disaster the rule preventing them from being built adjacent to each other remains on the tile. This might be a base CIV 6 issue, but if not I thought you'd like to know.
