Policy cards that impact era score is a cool idea. Would be awesome to see more.

hey mod makers can you please add the "rise and fall" or "gathering storm" tag(s) if the mod requires it!! (or maybe include base game if it works without DLC)

Well, after a day of trial and error, looking at base game files and other mods adding policies, I succeeded ! I'm probably not done tweaking for balance yet, but at least I found the best argument for what I was looking for. And it works ! =3

Nicely made, and it’s cool nudge indeed !

I’m playing with the seasons mod, sometimes my cities are wreaked at start because rude winter lol So I’d like to add my own card, one that would add food to cities.

I made my own customized lines copying the existing ones in all relevant files, but it doesn’t work… I can see the card and take it, but it seems to do nothing.

My first doubt would be about the «ModifierType» argument, in gameplay.xml ; does it need to be an already existing game value ? And if it does, what would it be ?

@smckibben47 Thanks for the feedback! Of course it's just an .xml file, so you're always welcome to change the values for your own game!
As for my thoughts, I think the vanilla diplomatic policies are really strong too, probably since most governments have fewer diplomatic slots. You're probably right about Warlord though, I usually don't play competitively so levying city states armies always seemed really expensive against AI, but I see how that could be too much. I might change this if I update again. Folklore I think sounds better than it is since there are actually very few Historic Moments that give you +3. Originally it was +1 which was far too weak. (+2 is still weaker than Tajmahal's +1 bonus.) Safe Passage is also only on land which is another major limitation. For Passports, I do like your idea about paying per unit, but I think that's beyond my modding capabilities. 😅
knotty_n_gneiss 22 Sep, 2023 @ 2:43pm 
IMO, Passports, Warlord, Safe Passage, and Folklore are all OP. Folklore should be +1, not +2. Safe Passage, there already exists a mod that makes trade routes immune to plundering for 2 gold (though, I do like your addition of "during peacetime," to be fair). Warlord *never* expires??? It should be reduced by 15% MAX and become obsolete some time in the Classical Era. Passports should just be replaced entirely, or barring that, add a -1 gold/envoy penalty. (For this last one, "passports" make very little sense as an "Ancient Era" device. If you want something related to both City States and Early Empire, that fits for the Ancient Era, you could also do something like "Tributary Passage," paying 2 gold/unit/turn when starting or entering a City State's territory (with whom all are now at Open Borders).

Thank you, everything worked

@The_Peoples_Vengeance @imiami The mod ID was the issue. I've reuploaded the update with the old mod ID. It worked with an old save. Let me know if you still have any issues!!
kinnikinnik  [author] 18 Aug, 2023 @ 6:56pm 
@imiami sorry!! I noticed the mod ID got changed somehow which might be the problem, but I've reverted this back to the original version anyway.

@The_Peoples_Vengeance sorry!! I've reverted this to the old version! I will upload the updated version as a new mod!
