Diplomatic Quarter Adjacency Bonuses

RIP weather drums. May the icr cream factory live on.

bro died before he could give us the update

If you don't know the Diplomatic Quarter Expanded mod (which is a stunning; one of the coolest and cleverest out there that isn't some sort of super overhaul -- actually it's a like 6x improvement on the Diplomatic Quarter) you should. It's so deep and complete, plus allows you to build a DQ (a Dairy Queen?!! Whaaaaaaat??) district in each city (because everyone loves ice cream) providing tons of variety and specialization and unique crosslinks, and, of course, a cheeries and whipped cream. Go check it out, and don't forget to tip your waitress.

I'll tell you in a minute if this and that are indeed compatible (please, God, please), which would be cooler than your parents buying you a sundae for getting A's on your report card when you're 8.

I can vouch for the real world validity of this mod:

My dad was a diplomat (so I grew up around diplomats of every kind (like John Bolton, russian defectors, Colonel Oliver North (remember that scandal?), ambassadors, CIA spooks, celebrity's agents, missionaries, professors abroad, travelers in trouble, etc., from all over the world) and I can vouch that having an embassy abroad means your country is involved in all areas of home country betterment, like spying, consular duties, business expansion, international relations, business or cultural development, military engagement, education and/or cultural exchange, and everything else you can think of.

*** Hence, +1 to any District is not just totally appropriate, it's real world accurate, and should have been there all along. ***

Definitely a cool mod.

@OurOhnlyHope - Where exactly on CFC did you ask about this? I'm assuming you're the same person as OurOhnlyHope on CFC that I helped debug a different mod the other day. Also, if you're Nikola on Discord, it seems Zegangani helped you out already.

Hey p0kiehl, first let me say that as a novice modder myself, I really appreciate how much you have done for the community. This mod is really cool and I appreciate how it gives more "oomph" to the DQ and changes it from a poor man's government plaza into something with its own laurels.

This is tangential to the mod itself, but is there a discord or forum you can recommend to get feedback on modding? I have tried CivFanatics but they weren't super helpful. I'm trying to make a simple mod that lowers Incan production on mountains to 1 and gives them 1 food for each mountain, but it doesn't seem like there's a lot of people who are used to SQL editing like you. Hoping you see this and can lend some sage advice.

@Dionysys The Ethiopia DLC is what adds the Diplomatic Quarter district, the mod does nothing without it.

Can the DLC requirement be removed to enable them in multiplayer games? Or would this cause issues in single player games without the DLC?

I had the same idea. Good job. They should make this part of the base game
