Had the same issue as Kangaroos a few comments down. Even with the counter-culture promotion celebrities can't enter Civs that I don't have open borders with. The ability to purchase celebrities with faith from Cristo Redentor also doesn't seem to be working on my latest playthrough.

Hi, this looks really good. Have you considered retooling America's film studio to interact specifically with celebrities? I think that would be a cool change. Perhaps a small bonus or a discount?

Thanks!

Is there a way to make this compatible with Wondrous Wonders?

Counter-culture icon is not working for me, idk why. I can only enter lands with open borders

I am unable to start or load a game with this module or the resource requirement module loaded. AFAICT the base Monopolies++ module and the product changes module do not have the same problem. When attempting to start or load a game with the problem modules loaded the game tells me that one or more mods failed to load contents. I have not played in a few weeks so I cannot say when this started. I first noticed it on 04/05/23.

fixed, thanks for the quick fix

@j_kovic: Sorry yeah I forgot to add a check, please tell me if it's working now and thanks for reporting.

Hey, after the last update I can't open game with this mod on. I guess it has something to do with GardenPreserves.sql file and line

INSERT INTO Building_TourismBombs_XP2
(BuildingType, TourismBombValue)
VALUES ('BUILDING_SANCTUARY', 500),
('BUILDING_LEU_PAVILLION', 500);

I don't have your Garden or Preserve mods, so logs file says:

ERROR: Invalid Reference on Building_TourismBombs_XP2.BuildingType - "BUILDING_LEU_PAVILLION" does not exist in Buildings

With this mod ,I can't buy Celebrities with faith ,the only way is gold ,but it costs me too much gold !
How about make a little change that we can buy it both gold and faith ? Please !!!

Is there a way to keep rock bands in the game as well?

Could I suggest you change the icon for the Celebrity? Change it from the "finger horns" to the more general symbol of a person surrounded by cameras with flashing bulbs, maybe?

Hi Leugi,
your mod has been translated by Junky into German and the translation is now part of the German translations for Civilization VI mods mod pack.
We would be more than happy if you could refer to the language translation in your mod description.

Hi mate, I got a problem with the mod. I still can build rockbands but no celebrities. The funny thing is: now I buy rockbands with Gold but not with faith.
Investors and Tycoons are working well. Maybe you can help me?

Haha Britney Spears and Michael Jackson . Oh my... Yeah those are interesting examples. Although i do agree they fit the conglomerate abusive nature of capitalism better than an awesome rock band.

I like the idea. There is something more interesting about it than just having rock bands. How about adding some famous artists like Michael Jackson and Britney Spears?

Get this Error in the Log when using ur Mod collection for the Monopoly mode.

Love the idea! Has anyone tried this with Wondrous Wonders? Do the conflicting wonder changes cause any issues?

How do you get these celebrities? I received only one so far.

@Leugi, Will you be updating some of your older mods to be compatible with NFP & GS? You have some really great mods like Israel and Argentina that unfortunately aren't compatible anymore.

ok ! lets test !

@borgheshia: For the base game promotions its only the names, my reference was specifically for the "Brand Ambassador" promotion which is a new one added by this mod (it should be the only one that is different in gameplay terms tho)

ok thx ! ah promotion has been changed too, not only their names ?

@borgheshia: It probably works fine alongside it, but I'm not sure whether or not the new promotion has the same balance as the ones Nere reworked. So no compatibility issues but not sure if it keeps the balance the way Nere intended.

@Leugi Same question than @Adriaman : do you think this is compatible with Nere's Rebalanced Rock Bands ?
thx a lot, amazing modset !

thanks for greit tæme

@Leugi Of course, I love most your mods. Big fan of the Hiller Hils and Colder Tundra combo mod, as well as, of course the city's style pack. That's the best mod imo. Plus the Latin American resources is fun too.

@MarsEco: Thanks for the comments! Well I do see the AI making more Corporations, tho its still kinda limited for my taste. As for Rock Bands I'm not entirely sure, but I feel the overall rate of Rock Bands is lower now even tho they start appearing a bit earlier.

I have not yet addressed specific civ changes, but its something to consider in the future. Particularly it would be fun to see some shaking up to America and Japan, but I can't really confirm any plans for that yet. It's something fun to consider tho.

@Leugi Last thing, any chance there is another mod coming our way where you add a couple of bonuses to a specific civ or two towards obtaining the new units? (Example: Like how in Dramatic Ages Game-Mode, Georgia gets the special 'additional' ability of getting an extra Wildcard Policy Slot during her Golden Ages and may use Dark Age Policy Cards during the Age.) Potential Civs or Leaders that would work with this Theme; America(the Civ & paired with getting their Film Studio built, since it replaces the Broadcast Towers,) Canada(the Civ & paired with their Ice Rinks, sports celebrities,) Qui Shi Huang(the leader specifically,) Egypt(the Civ,) England(the Civ) and/or France(the Civ,) Brazil(the Civ,) Japan(the Civ & paired with getting not just their Workshop up, but their culturally focused Electronic's Factory too,) maybe Persia(the Civ & paired their cultural/economic Pairidaezas,) or maybe even Korea(the Civ).

@Leugi How do you find the AI to handle the changes? Do they make Industries/Corp/Mono just fine? Do they use the new units well? Do they value the Wonder changes differently and building product slots differently? Do they spam or buy more or less Celebrities compared to Rock Bands before?

@Geminus Leonem Yes and no. The way you get them is now Gold not Faith, but that's why he made the change to Cristo Red. so 1 player can have the option to Faith Purchase Celebrities, as, imo, faith is a little too linked to a Cultural Victory, the need for faith to obtain Rock Bands and National Parks in the late game is very much needed. And besides that, he is just expanding where they can be used; same as the old places, but now with Broadway extra benefits at Theatre Squares and new places at Ind/Corp/Commerical Hubs. (I wouldn't do Industries, but just rather keep it to Corporations & add Monopolies to it, but it's not my set of mods.)

This new set (you should have it in a set btw, so people that only notice one can see the others) of Monopoly Game-Mode based mods look great! Can't wait to try them out. (I wonder if all the name changes are reflected on Policy Cards and such.) I'm gonna try to get Potato McWhiskey to them out, he's not a big 'mod-fan' when it comes to game changes, but I feel and he knows Monopolies are still too OP for a culture game. So maybe he will.

Really minor inconsequential thing, but in the JNR Compatibility text the "Theater Square" references haven't been replaced with "Civic Square".

I love this idea to make gold more relevant in the late game but I think removing the ability to buy celebrities with faith shifts the balance a bit too much. Would it be possible to make them purchasable with gold and faith but have either option tied to separate techs/civics? i.e. radio for gold and faith at cold war

I would prefer keep the old rock bands and make celebrities new unit, since they work quite differently.

Nice, do you think this is compatible with Nere's Rebalanced Rock Bands ? This mod appears to change only rock bands probabilities and cost, so it seems to be compatible.

THANK U VERY MUCH!!

The mod does not conflict with JNR's district expansion but it also has no set up interactions with his new buildings. I will make sure to add support for JNR's additional buildings as requirements for the Celebrity in a future update.

Pls say that all ur Monopoly++ Mods are compatible with JNRs Urban Complexity. This would be a dream come true!! ;)

Is this mod compatible with JNR's Culture District Expansion? Since you need a Broadcast tower to buy celebrities and that mod adds another building that can be chosen instead of the Broadcast Tower can you still buy Celebrities in a city with the other building instead?

Dude, I'm following you as an author. *Applauds*

Ingenious.
