Roads Improvements Mod (RIM)

Description

Roads Improvements Mod (RIM) decreases the movement points costs of the vanilla units. With this change the units can walk further than in vanilla. Bridges can be built in all eras.

RIM is already integrated within Units Improvements Mod (UIM).

If you already use UIM, then you don't need to install this mod.

I released this mod, that the players who only want the roads improvements can use this mod without UIM.

The AI uses the same values. I created a tutorial which you can use to customize RIM to your wishes.


Compatibility

- compatible with the current official game version and all DLCs
- compatible with all languages
- fully save game compatible after starting a new game
- compatible with all other mods which do not change the same values


Changes of the roads

The movement points costs of the units have been decreased on the roads. With this change the units can go further than in vanilla.

Ancient from 1 to 0.75
Medieval from 1 to 0.75
Industrial from 0.75 to 0.50
Modern from 0.50 to 0.25

Bridges can be built with all roads in all eras. (Ancient, Medieval, Industry, Modern)

The movement points costs of the units have been decreased on the railroads from 0.25 to 0.1.


Installation on Steam

1. Subscribe to RIM on Steam

2. Start Civilization 6

3. Go into the submenu "Additional Content" and check if Roads Improvements Mod (RIM) is activated.

4. Start a new game

Unfortunately it is not possible to add mods to an ongoing game. If you start a new game with RIM and I will update later RIM, then these changes will be recognized by the save game.


Tutorial - How to customize RIM

1. Open the Steam Mods Installation Folder of RIM

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\289070\878149991

2. Open the file RIM_Roads.xml with a text editor. This file can be edited with the normal Windows Text Editor.

I recommend to use Notepad ++[notepad-plus-plus.org] as it displays the code extensively.

3. Below are some examples how you can change these values

4. Save the file

5. Launch CIVILIZATION 6 and activate Roads Improvements Mod (RIM)

Example how to change the movement points of the roads:

Standard Vanilla movement points costs = 1 / 1 / 0.75 / 0.50 / 0.25

The lower this value is, the farther the units can move on the roads per turn. I suggest to use only "quarter-values" = 1 / 0.75 / 0.5 / 0.25.

All Roads at start from the medieaval road have already the entry SupportsBridges="true" and therfore I included it only additionaly on the entry "ROUTE_ANCIENT_ROAD".

<Update>
<Where RouteType="ROUTE_ANCIENT_ROAD"/>
<Set MovementCost="0.75" SupportsBridges="true"/>
</Update>

<Update>
<Where RouteType="ROUTE_MEDIEVAL_ROAD"/>
<Set MovementCost="0.75"/>
</Update>

<Update>
Where RouteType="ROUTE_INDUSTRIAL_ROAD"/>
<Set MovementCost="0.50"/>
</Update>

<Update>
<Where RouteType="ROUTE_MODERN_ROAD"/>
<Set MovementCost="0.25"/>
</Update>

<Update>
<Where RouteType="ROUTE_RAILROAD"/>
<Set MovementCost="0.1"/>
</Update>
