Zenyatta's Shambali Monastery

Adds the Shambali Monastery to the roster of playable civilizations, led (noncanonically) by Tekharta Zenyatta.

Shambali Monastery is a religious civilization, although it has a slew of powerful yet flexible abilities to aid it both economically and militaristically. It is best suited towards a Domination victory, although Science and Culture victories are also possible.

May choose a Reformation Belief immediately after founding a religion. Reformation Social Policy instead strengthens Holy Sites. Unlocks new abilities after discovering Philosophy.

A unique unit to the Shambali Monastery that doesn't replace any unit. Cannot be produced normally, but must be purchased with faith by a city that adheres to a religion. It is a combat unit whose combat strength scales with the era Zenyatta is in, and may carry 4 Orb of Destruction special units that Zenyatta may spawn through one of his ability. Starts with March Promotion.

Replaces the Garden. Does not require fresh water, and yields 2 Science and Faith in addition to the default ability of a Garden. In addition, each Communal Monastery provides a small amount of faith and culture whenever Shambali Monastery acquires a Great Person by any means.

The mod is in alpha stages, and all numbers are subject to change. Also, please report any bugs in the comment section.

Zenyatta as an AI is a friendly leader, although Zenyatta is not above declaring wars should the opportunity presents itself. Nevertheless, Zenyatta will prefer friendships over wars, and generally will not mind the player if the player is aiming for a pacifist victory type, even with CP. Zenyatta is also very loyal and forgiving, making him a great neighbor unless the player relies greatly on having a religion for him/herself. Zenyatta will focus religion, as well as Science and Great People, while preferring to play tall over wide.

As an extra bonus, this mod contains the English translation for Liberty's D.Va Civilization.

Known Bugs
----------------------------------------------------------------
1: Orb of Destruction spawns on targets even when the target is full - The problem lies with the bug on the Firaxis' GetNumAirUnits function, meaning it will be difficult to fix without looping through every unit, which in turn may drastlically reduce performance.
2: Researching Philosophy during a turn (e.g. through Great Library of Alexadreia) doesn't trigger the UI immediately - While the UI triggers after entering a city screen then exiting it, it is also an API issue and is something to be fixed.
3: Transcendence heal range is infinite - Fixed On April 16, 2017 patch

Things to do
----------------------------------------------------------------
Make a custom Icon for Omnic Monks
Make AI use the active abilities - Partially done

NOTE: This civilization was released through a workaround 7-Zip Compression instead of the ModBuddy's default compression due to the MSB4018 error. If the civilization will not unzip or install, manually download the .civ5mod file through Steam Downloader, change the file format to ZIP, and then use AlZip, WinZip, 7-Zip or any other unzipping program and unzip the content to the Mod folder. However, WinRar doesn't work, and if any unzipping programs do not work, try either AlZip or 7-Zip, which have been tested and proven to work.

"Overwatch" and its characters are owned by Blizzard Entertainment, and all assets belong to respective owners. Credit is given in the Credits.txt file, and no profit is sought from the creation of the mod. This mod is for enjoyment only.
