Enduring Empires - Base Game

Can you build a civilization to stand the test of time? With Enduring Empires you can viably take a civilization from the dawn of antiquity to the space age! Play out alternate history where Rome does not fall. Pit Mongolian Keshing against modern age tanks! Build a great wall through the trenches of the world wars! Entertain the absurd scenario of a modern day Spain.

Enduring empires is a civilization template applied to every pre-modern civilization that lets you play a version of that civilization in future ages. Each civilization provided is self-contained and does minimal modification of existing game data, so those not playing an enduring empire should see no changes from the vanilla experience.

This mod contains the Base Game civilizations, including delux DLC such as the shawnee. For other DLC grab these mods as well.

Playing a civilization outside of it’s historical golden age has some natural challenges.

• Civilization abilities are carried forward, but are likely weaker and less relevant than those found in future ages.
  
• Unique units fall behind compared to modern alternatives, but no longer replace any of the base military units.
  
• Unique buildings can be built in cities that didn’t already have them, but remain limited to a single copy per city.
  
• Unique civilian units often provide bonuses that are no longer relevant or require buildings that are no longer buildable.
  
• Traditions can only be unlocked once.
  
• Associated wonders can be built in the new age only if not constructed elsewhere.
  
• Victory condition changes like those of the Mongols no longer have any effect.
  
• No new empire means no new seat of government. The capital cannot be moved.

To help enduring empires keep up a set of new civic trees have been granted to embody carrying forward an unbroken empire. The balance goals are to make retaining your empire advantageous if you wish to double down on an existing economic configuration, but disadvantageous if you wish to pivot into new strategies. Keeping your empire should feel powerful, but put you at risk for stagnation.

• You retain all civics from the prior age under the same empire. This parallels the way you implicitly are granted all bonuses from the common civic and tech trees as you advance through the ages built into the base for the next age. Since your empire never falls, you never lose these bonuses.
  
• A new civics tree is provided flavored based on your civilization’s attributes. If you take an antiquity civilization all the way to modern, the exploration age bonuses provided in this tree will also carry forward.
  
• Your enduring capital provides bonuses based on your completed legacy paths, designed to synergize with the golden age bonuses.

Civs are given new civics trees and bonuses for keeping their existing capital. For full details see
Discussion: Heritage Bonus Reference

The first age your civilziation endures you continue with your prior civics, and can unlock powerful new passives.

• Unique Infrastructure gains new yields based on your attributes.
  
• Unique unit comat bonuses.
  
• Bonuses on slotted traditions.
  
• Additional themed bonuses based on your attributes.

The second age your civilization endures you retain all prior bonuses and may unlock more powerful passives. Special interactions exist between specific attributes and ideologies, which can be a double edged sword.

• Double effect from your traditions
  
• Double adjacency from unique infrastructure
  
• Bonuses for population in your original city based on your attributes.
  
• Economic and democratic civs made alliances a necessary cornerstone of their economy.
  
• Expansionist and communist civs are granted wild food income during celebrations, but risk famine between.
  
• Militaristic and fascist civs can grow wide with happiness bonuses, but can collapse without continued conflict.

Human players must keep their original capital, but receive significant rewards for doing so based on the legacy paths completed on the prior run. (Just make sure you don't ever lose that capital, even in war.)

Feedback is requested! This mod contains more content than is feasible to test and balance as an individual. If you give my mod a shot I would love to hear but reports or balance feedback. Let me know what civilization you were playing, and through what ages. If you do a full run with no problems please let me know that as well.

I encourage you to report bugs in the discussion section so it is easier to respond.
