Am I the only person that thinks this mod makes the game way too easy?

Could be interesting since the AI is very poor in use of gold.
Numenor  [author] 14 Jun, 2023 @ 8:03am 
It can be applied at anytime, I believe.

Does this work only with a new savegame or can I apply this mod to a game in progress?

this is awesome, thank you. perfect for a casual like me

@dropshotkillerb Also, if you still needed help getting it to work, it probably only works with new saved games. In my experience it did FYI.

I seriously haven't had this much fun with any game in a long time, nevertheless with Civ 5. Thank you so much for making and sharing this mod with us, I'm having a blast with it. :KneelingBow:

i have a problem im still getting upkeep on all troops and buildings

@The 420th Gunslinger Then don't freakin' subscribe to this mod, you selfish prick. Not everyone wants to play video games because they want to be "challenged" the whole freakin time. Sometimes you just wanna lay back and have a good time. Shut up with your selfish attitude.

Are the cookies gluten free?
Ace2Face 22 Nov, 2018 @ 8:17am 
The issue is that upkeep increases exponentially as you advance in time, it reaches a point where having land units is simply not an option at the super end game
T.N.Tobin 10 Nov, 2018 @ 5:30am 
wow this is a pathetic mod. your trying to make the game easier? do you play on easy? I want a challenge not a garenteed win... LAME

Also I started making these mods around the holiday seasons... shortly after I published them a couple of people kept complaining about the mods, about how they (blatantly obvious cheat mods) makes the game too easy, and why would anyone have the audacity to seemingly publish cheats for "their favorite game".

Also those are cookies resemble really good sugar cookies that my aunt often gave me during holiday seasons...

So instead of arguing with the people who were oblivious to the obvious I decided to make a little backhanded meme in response.

For Sarcasm and Humor purposes.

When I was a kid in elementary school the teachers would give out little "participation awards" that were star shaped stickers... I hated this practice because they only gave them out to the bad or dumb kids. The whole act of giving people "participation awards" is honestly a disgusting behavior because not only is it really deceptive and misleading, its unbelievably condescending and cruel... giving people a false of sense and value of accomplishment... not to mention disgustingly hypocritical because you knew the teachers dislike / hated the kids that they were giving the "participation awards" due to all the frustration you see they have to deal with on like a daily basis, and how fake and phony their smiles were.

whats with the star cookies
Numenor  [author] 8 Sep, 2018 @ 6:54am 
Just a little faq response to anyone finding this mod.

1. Does it apply to the AI?

Yes

2. Why does it affect the AI also?

Because to make this mod all I did was edit a single 1 to a 0 in the game logic files that basically asked "do you want upkeep enabled or not?". This mod functions like a basic light switch in a house, it only has 2 states... on or off.

3. Will I ever make a version of this mod that does not apply to the AI?

No.

4. Why not?

Well first reason is I haven't played this game in like 4 years, and never liked the game. I only played it for like a week.
Numenor  [author] 8 Sep, 2018 @ 6:54am 
Second reason is it took me a lot of time just to learn how to do the basic modding stuff the first time around... and well its been like 4 years so I don't really remember how to mod anymore and I am not willing to spend any more time making mods for a game I don't play and I never really liked.

Third reason... all the mods I made were very low level modding that basically only involved changing a bunch of 1's to 0's in a couple universal parameters... basically flicking the on and off switch for parameters that apply to everyone.

Fourth reason... I don't think it is even possible to make a version of this mod that only applies to players... or at least not in the method I used to make this mod since there is no pre-defined player only parameters... it might be possible with some kind of script... but I am not going to do that due to all the reasons previously listed.
Numenor  [author] 8 Sep, 2018 @ 6:54am 
Fifth reason... the AI cheats anyways or rather like in most RTS games the AI has a handicap where it gets bonus resources / stats anyways because the AI doesn't actually play the game or know how to manage its own economy. They either just randomly spawn in units for free at scripted intervals, or get scripted income bonuses that give them free money so that they can always buy units. So it makes no difference whether or not it applies to the AI also since money is not a factor for them.
Numenor  [author] 4 Jul, 2018 @ 10:31am 
Its not possible to make a player only version.
Glumanda356 4 Jul, 2018 @ 5:56am 
when you make an player only version i will download it / subscribe it
:steamhappy:
Oswald 20 Jun, 2018 @ 11:48am 
why does it apply to the AI remove that..
Numenor  [author] 15 Jun, 2018 @ 4:06pm 
I have answered this question like 30 times in the comments, yes.
Parke 31 May, 2018 @ 5:48pm 
does it apply to AI
Oswald 8 Feb, 2018 @ 7:51pm 
does it apply to AI
J.Jones 28 Dec, 2017 @ 5:48pm 
Can we use it in multi
Lars 3 Dec, 2017 @ 5:35am 
next you could make like this mod button like in some of the first civ games have. where you can choose, like: units you want building u want...
James_C 26 Nov, 2017 @ 11:41pm 
Np, but thanks anyway.
Numenor  [author] 26 Nov, 2017 @ 11:40pm 
Sorry I have no idea @Galactic_Legend. I never got that far into modding CIV 5, and I haven't played the game in like 3 years. Probably better to ask one of the bigger mod pages.
James_C 26 Nov, 2017 @ 11:23pm 
Okay, so I have a question for you. As a moder, maybe you would know.

Is it possibe to take a map (Example: Middle Earth) and after manually placing every city location and giving that city X amount of tiles per territory, is it possible to make every location outside of the players and AI's startling location vacent or a city state? Basicly, could the map be set up for a Total War game like style?
James_C 23 Nov, 2017 @ 1:41am 
Hum..I shall look into this. Thank you.
Numenor  [author] 23 Nov, 2017 @ 1:37am 
I believe if you download the SDK for the game under Library -> Tools. It will give you the PDF file that tells you how to mod the game. It shouldn't be too hard to do. All you have to do is open up my packaged mod and the other mod, open up it up and look at the code inside my mod, or just copy and paste the xml file into the other mod and repackage it.

Cause all this mod is are these few lines of code.

James_C 23 Nov, 2017 @ 12:53am 
Fair, I could try that. Google or Youtue tend to be semi-reliable in providing some kind of tutorial...that or just ask the creator of the mod if there was a better way to fix it. Thanks though!

I have to admit I like what your mod does. It makes the game easier yes, but I find Gold in this game is like trying to balance happyness early game in Galactic Civs. A brutal pain in the rear end. Maybe I am just not quite fomiliar on how to properaly balance city building. No idea.

In any case, thenk you again for your reply. Great mod xD
Numenor  [author] 22 Nov, 2017 @ 6:23pm 
Nothing I can do on my end. You could open up the Lord of the Rings True Start Locations file and edit the same values I edited. Though don't ask me how to do it since I don't remember anymore... its been like 3 years.
James_C 22 Nov, 2017 @ 2:44pm 
Okay forget my last comment. Note, this mod is not compatable with Lord of the Rings True Start Locations...interesting...

Could that be fixed?
James_C 22 Nov, 2017 @ 2:42pm 
Question, my game is telling me this mod requires another mod to function, but I dont see anything stted about this above. Did I miss something or is this just the game being problematic?
usamabinladen 31 Aug, 2017 @ 12:39am 
dont works
Bagel 25 Jun, 2017 @ 2:30pm 
this mod makes the game too-... much better
Numenor  [author] 22 Jun, 2017 @ 3:25pm 
@TheNikachu Yes. But it honestly doesn't matter since the AI cheats anyways.
Vuelton 22 Jun, 2017 @ 3:22pm 
does this apply to the ai to?
ExcaliberDG11 13 Jun, 2017 @ 7:12pm 
It seems that unit upkeep stil rises but a little bit as time passes for some reason
4g0tt3nSou1 25 Mar, 2017 @ 9:07am 
Lmao I'm no pleb. Read through ur instructions. Can't wait to play around with some AI with it
Numenor  [author] 25 Mar, 2017 @ 9:01am 
Still waiting on the video evidence.
