Mod says "increases trade route yields by 25%, and city plot purchase costs are reduced by 50%." yet my trade routes have tanked to -10% and all my costs have risen by 85%.

This gets a 10/10 for realism!

Currently the Russian mod is broken, working on a fix so avoid loading Putin for now

What is this mod dependent on to run?

no longer functions. even after update. anyone out there have any ideas?

I really like the Days of Sadat Mods by the way!

Please make a version available here that doesn't need Community Patch. Thanks

Thank you!

@Populous: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1iD78eA0OkcvN9rqhjswPXxBF4zWvZM1w?usp=sharing download this for the version without the community patch.

First game I did not know there was requirements I don't want and it worked great and loved this. Today I know there are requirements and it stopped working.

@adsinstructor - Click on the following link and you will be able to select the version you want from the list and enjoy. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1iD78eA0OkcvN9rqhjswPXxBF4zWvZM1w?usp=sharing

Looks like the US, instead of the generic 2K12 Kub, must have its own Mobile SAM unique unit, particularly the Patriot Missile System whose unit model is from Civ IV.

It will be also the unique unit for Saudi Arabia, Israel, Morocco.

This used to work great for me... before the update. Now it crashes my game before it starts, even after adding community patch. Please undo the update so I can enjoy this awesome mod.

Needs a "Bribery" option to circumvent basic mechanics.

Map Size: Yuuuge

@K1001T - That sounds like a bug on your end. I will look into adding the same songs from America, lets see how it goes.

Music stops after a while and then there is no sound. Is this a bug and/or is there an update coming that can at least add the same songs from America?

Works now, thank you!

UPDATED THE MOD 28/11/2024, IT WAS DEPENDENT ON COMMUNITY PATCH

Working on a fix now.

New update seems to of deleted the new units, including the discord link?

When choosing a leader during setup, I can't scroll down through the leaders list.
Any work around for this?

used the link and still no units

@hector96 check discord, I posted a link for you and that it should resolve your issue.

still no units

Let me know if the problem is solved @hector96

@hector96 Join the discord and you can re-download the mod.

I no longer have any of the units after v3 update

This change will better reflect the intended balance and strategy in gameplay, ensuring that both units have unique and valuable roles in your arsenal.

@Artmos, You're absolutely right—the B-2 Spirit was not meant to be carrier-compatible in the mod, and this will be corrected in the next update. The B-2 Spirit has a significantly longer range (30 tiles) compared to the F-35 Lightning II (12 tiles), which makes it ideal for deep-strike missions launched from land-based airfields. Allowing it to board carriers unintentionally diminishes the strategic importance of its extended range.

The F-35, on the other hand, is a shorter-range, multi-role fighter that is designed to complement naval fleets, and it does not have the extended range or strategic focus of the B-2 Spirit. By correcting this in the next update, the distinction between these two units will be preserved—the F-35 will remain versatile and carrier-compatible, while the B-2 Spirit will serve as a land-based bomber with unmatched operational range.

F35 could be based on an aircraft carrier? Otherwise, what is the point in it if there is B2 Spirit?

FINAL PART

I hope this helps clarify the direction and intention behind the mod! The collection is meant to deliver a high-powered, thematic experience, rather than traditional Civ balance. Once the collection is complete and a scenario is introduced, the Civs will be balanced within that ecosystem, creating a cohesive and competitive experience. Your feedback on balance and thematic alignment is especially valuable, and I’ll be using it to refine future updates. Thanks again for your thoughtful critique—this kind of input helps me improve the mod and ensure it’s an enjoyable experience for all players. If you have further ideas or suggestions, feel free to share them—I’d love to hear more of your thoughts!

5. About Isolationist vs. Warhawk Stance:
You’re absolutely correct that Donald Trump’s leadership style leaned toward isolationism rather than interventionism. The civ’s abilities aren’t tied directly to his leadership but to the nation’s overarching strengths. If anything, the inclusion of traits like increased unit production and trade benefits reflects America’s institutional and historical capacity for power projection, which exists independently of any single leader. Future leader options will allow players to explore alternate interpretations of America’s identity in the modern era.

4. Vision for the Mod Collection:
The Modern Day World Leaders Collection is designed to bring the 21st century into Civ 5, offering players the chance to experience the modern strategic and political landscape. Unlike traditional Civ mods that focus on historical leaders, this collection emphasizes contemporary nations and their multifaceted strengths. Each Civ is intentionally powerful, reflecting their real-world counterparts, and tailored for matches within this high-powered collection. This approach allows for unique combinations of leaders and traits, offering something fresh and dynamic for Civ players.

3. Unique Units and Abilities:
While I understand the concern about the number of unique elements, this was a deliberate choice to showcase the diversity of America’s power across different domains—military, economic, and diplomatic. The aim is to create a Civ that offers flexibility, allowing players to explore multiple strategic paths. This mirrors the USA’s real-world influence and diversity in capabilities. However, I’ll revisit the balance of these abilities to ensure they feel impactful but not excessive.

2. Leader Traits vs. Nation Traits:
I think this is where the biggest misunderstanding lies. The civ’s traits are meant to represent the country’s overall power and identity, while the leader is a modular element that can be swapped out to reflect different leadership styles. For example, while Donald Trump represents one perspective of modern American leadership, other leaders—who may embody different values, traits, and playstyles—will be available in the future via updates and community contributions on Discord. The current version of the USA civ is just one facet of what I intend to offer.

CONTINUED

Additionally, this collection is designed to be self-contained. Once the collection reaches a certain number of Civs, the plan is to introduce a dedicated scenario, similar to Earth 2014, where all the Civs in the collection will be balanced against each other for a competitive, cohesive experience. This focus ensures that while individual Civs may feel overpowered now, the collection as a whole will eventually offer balanced and engaging gameplay when played together & not with other civs in the workshop.

@segasaturn, thank you for taking the time to write such detailed feedback! I really appreciate your thoughts, and I’d love to address some of the points you’ve raised to give more context to the vision behind this mod.

1. On Being Overpowered:
You’re absolutely right that the USA civ in its current form is very strong. That’s intentional, as the idea behind the Modern Day World Leaders Collection is to create Civs and leaders that embody the power and influence of their real-world counterparts. The mod isn’t designed to be balanced with the base game or other workshop Civs. Instead, it’s meant to offer a distinct, high-powered gameplay experience, where each Civ reflects its unique strengths and abilities.

I'm glad you're back, but still, isn't a bit...over the top? I mean, 14 unique units AND an unique building, that's just super OP over any civ that's not a joke civ intentionally designed to be as broken and insane as possible. I also don't really understand where you took that unique ability and choice of units from compared to the specific guy. Like, ok, the trade routes benefits, I can see where's that coming from, but lower troops maintenance? Higher rate of great generals (like whom in real life)? All these aggressive units and production of them? These abilities all point to some Ronald Reagan-like capital A atlanticist warhawk, which this guy is openly the opposite of, with his very isolationist stance, which in civ form would mean the opposite of a conquer the world kind of civ. So I'm not sure why that creative direction shift was taken from a creator who made grounded, accurate and balanced civs in the Days of Sadat past.

Could you make Brazil with Jair Bolsonaro as leader? Thx
