Unfortunately, this sponsor does not appear in the list of Sponsors in the game setup. I assume from the old comments on this page this is due to incompatibility with Rising Tide. :(

Doesn't appear in RT, ripperoni

I'm starting to think this isn't going to be updated for Rising Tide.

Can i see a higher-res pic of the flag icon thing?

So where is this faction geographically located?

not working as of Rising Tide update

Hi Luegi. There's a widespread issue causing the game to crash when using sponsor mods, including yours. I've opened up a forum topic of CivFanatics to discuss the issue:

Luegi how do you actually create mods like this, do you use a certain software or is there some website you can do it on? But otherwise I love your mods.

Is it just me, or is anybody else having trouble with the "+Affinity Points when you do a thing" sponsors? I took a city with this sponsor, and my dominant affinity didn't budge. I gain a virtue as the Holy See, and dominant affinity didn't change there either. Is this a problem on my end, or is it conflict with one of the other mods I'm using?

Can you make mob sponcer and you will not need to make new colinists because the mod for more colinists you will still need to make UA and cargo if wanted just a thought

Updated!

- Nerfed the Unique Attribute. Now it only grants Affinity Points rather than a full Affinity Level. The number of points acquired varies from 5 to 15 depending on the conquered city size.
- The Unique Ability bonus from conquer now only happens once per city
- Buffed the Revolutionaries Colonists, increasing its culture yield by 1
- Adapted the lore to better represent the effect of the Great Mistake on the Caribbean Isles, and further increasing the reasoning behind the Caribbean revolutionary movement on the Greater Antilles and Venezuela.

I have left Ideology Books untouched for now. I'm torn whether to nerf them or not. They do grant a whole affinity level and its bonus, but that means your first marines are going to cost more production and that you lose whatever other cargos have to offer to you (like a free Soldier unit or Worker, both of which are very useful when going on conquest spree) [plus, they can be chosen by any sponsor]

i like the other mod better,i agree that this seems op.

I'm glad you are nerfing this one as in its current state, it is too powerful, especially on Large games. I would suggest changing the bonus to a large chunk of awarded culture per city captured, or better yet, to give you a stackable culture bonus (+15% per turn for 15 turns for each city captured or some such) in order to make this faction not insanely OP.

I wonder if gaining culture or science for conquering cities would be a good swap?

Sounds good... some people say its too OP... as that is true, i guess i dont know what to say. would you rather have a useless mod where you have to wait (depending how good you are) around 50-200 turns if your bad in order to kill someones capital, which seems useless because if you have it every city its OP and if its just the capital its underpowered extremely... this cant really win!

Personally I think the cargo should stay as is for two reasons: Although it is powerful, it isn't restricted to one sponser, anyone can use it. Also, although you start with T2 soldiers, it takes longer to train them, making it a double edged sword that early in the game.

I agree that the UA should (must) be nerfed. 1 affinity per capital is good, but on small maps won't see much use, maybe experience from cities and a bonus for a capital or city previously owned by a different sponser (which is rare seeing it requires a virtue).

Because of a sudden increase in comments, the last one I made got buried somewhere hehe. So yeah,don't worry everyone, I said before I was going to nerf the UA a bit, and perhaps the cargo too.

As others said, I think you underestimate just how powerfull those extra affinity levels are.
Civ BE goes for quality over quantity - in cities, population and military units.
Primary affinity level is the biggest measure of military might. T1 Soldier vs T4 Soldier is basic warrior vs. late game infantery. You should never even try to face a faction without a certain Affinity lead.
That it is one level (rather then some XP) also means it does not run into the "not dominant affinity" mechanic that normally limits how much affinity levels you can get.
I too can advise to maybe lower it to "1 level per capital" or "some XP per capital".

Also the "start with one free affinity level" means you always starte with T2 soldiers and are much closer to the T2 Rangers and first unique unit. So you should overthink that one too.

does the conquering cities affinity thing count for capturing the same city multiple times? cant see that mentioned anywhere.

and this mod is a bit too OP, too much affinity levels. someone mentioned that you only should get a affinity level when capturing capitals, thats actually not a bad one i guess.

lol tropico in space

how about gaining points towards an affinty level instead of a affinity level?

an affinity for every city seems extreme. maybe 1 per capitol?

Being a historian and an individual in love with political ideology, I think this is a very cool idea. However The Revolutionaires, and the Sponsor bonus seem... Overpowered. Affinity being involved would make sense for the style of gameplay you are trying for, perhaps limiting the number of affinity levels you can recieve?

My only other advice as a fan of literacy would be to change "Ideology books" to "Idealogical Texts".

Please tell me, is she puertorrican?

Extremly unbalanced, but cool idea.

This is ridiculously overpowered. Someone didn't understand how new civs work-

I'm not sure about the free level with each city or free level with only a capital idea.

How about a city with a certain population number like 10 and above?

This is ridiculously overpowered, but I'm sure it's fun and allows for some interesting higher difficulty play.

SI COMONDANTE!

@Citron. Yeah, that sounds more balanced.

"It's all work and no play for Sra. Presidente."

Nice work, putting in my favorites for now and will be waiting for those updates mentionned in the comments :) Keep up the good work!

looks OP - how about "free affinity when conquering enemy capital"?

I think a good nerf would be that the UA only applies once on a conquered city and no more.

Free affinity, earn an affinity when conquering cities, this will let you steamroll all your neighbors so fast...

OP as all hell.

For some reason this mod just makes me think of Tropico ha ha

@Val: not only explained in the previous posts, but I also said I was going to update it :P

Lol. This is so obviously broken, except colonists.
+1 affinity at start is imbalanced even if you don't consider picking your caribbean sponsor, because it will make your victory come ~20 turns faster than it is possible with anything else.
+1 affinity with your sponsor ability is absurd. Probably was explained down in the comments why.

@Lord Mondando: Ok you're right on that one... I'll edit the background a bit then, it actually gave me a new idea on why the revolution starts. Will probably have to put Venezuela in there too, next version will have a lore revision too :D

@lorcogoth: The UA is going to be toned down in the next update (will try doing it soonish). The Cargo might not yet be changed, mostly because one can use a Cargo with any civ if one wants, and Cargos can be rather strong too... Might change it (eventually, not in the next update) to adding 5 progress points to each affinity.

i like it very much but starting with an affinety level is very powerfull esspecially with if you conquer a city bonus

Problem for me is if lore wise we beleive that global warming based flooding was utterly swacking the likes of Europe, Louisana et al. How does the Carrebean not get sent back to the stone age?

Nice graphics and ideas though.

Cuba is not the entire Caribbean I know, and I understand it might seem a bit reductionist, but if you check the civilopedia, you'll see that the Caribbean Axis movement in this fiction starts in Cuba (for good or ill), during the Great Mistake it expanded over the rest of the isles (both peacefully and not) and thus united the isles together in the Caribbean Axis, hence (again, not totally for good) the Axis does have a mostly Cuban influence... mind you, if you check the city list there's also some Haitian influence in there.

It may not be fully of your liking, but that's how I personally set it up. Nobody forces you to use this mod, nor forces any modder not to create a different take on the Caribbean.

@Gel214th: Dude, get real, it's sci-fi.

Now we have a Che in universe....

It should be a mix of french, english, dutch and spanish

Uhh...which part of the "Caribbean" uses terms like Commandante, and the revolutionary movement etc. ? CUBA is not the entire Caribbean. Mod may be fine, and I know this is fiction, but as a "Caribbean" flavoured Sponsor this fails to deliver.

I love her faction progress, it looks really nice how you did it.
I do dislike how overpowered Affinity progress is at the moment, however, I think if you nerfed this to instead earn you "5 Affinity points" or whatever, rather than an entire level, it would be more balanced.
Also, did you make sure that the faction can't just swap the same city with another faction every other turn to milk the bonus?
Looks good overall though.

I like the direction you've gone with the Affinity progression. Will you be updating it in the future?

The next version will change a bit the UA, instead of getting an Affinity Level you'll just get affinity points (towards your dominant affinity) so it won't be so strong.
