I could, but event coding is beyond me at the moment, unfortunately.

could you have it start with a event that gives you however much unity that you need?

That could work in multiplayer games just fine, but infortunately, my modding skills are woefully inadequate for the task, and right now, I don't really have the time or energy to learn it.

That might work. But it has to work in MP games, of course.

Perhaps you could make it a start of game event or have it fire within the first month?

I can find out, though iirc, concole commans only work in singleplayer. Thanks for the tip.

There is an console Command that adds Unity. Is it maybe possible to use that to give every Empire some Unity at the start of the Game? If i remember right some other Mods use console commands. So just an Idea.

@Peter, If you read the updated mod description, I've stated that the mod is currently broken, and I'm unable to fix it atm.

This mod seems to not work. It either doesn't give any Unity at all, or else it gives so little that it's not enough to unlock even 1 Tradition.

With my mods I am exactly 3 unity from getting 2 traditions

You're not going to give anybody 3 picks.

If you increase the amount of Unity given by, say, 25%, then while the current situation is that you give some players 1.8 picks and other players 2.0 picks,after the change you'll give some players something like 2.1 or 2.2 picks and other players perhaps 2.4 picks. Pick costs increase non-linearly.

It's just that I'm not aware that any of the mods that I use have Civics that affect Unity. Or even ones that affect Unity costs or Unity penalties. Risa's mod is the least unlikely candiate, but that mod is explicitly defined as being a bugfix mod, to fix unintentional consequences, and so I'd be very surprised if it mucks around with Unity costs.

The issue with that is I don't want it to go so far as to start giving people three. It's not meant to be balanced for civics or other creation settings that change unity costs - it's designed to be balanced to give you exactly two picks with a vanilla setup.

If you add civics that change unity costs, you're already making the choice to change how fast you get traditions, and that should carry over into your starting tradition picks.

I think that depends on many factors introduced by mods, such as civics that decrease unity penalties and so on. Perhaps it's simpler to just add 25% to the current amount?

Yeah, it'd be intersting. If you can tell me -exactly- how many unity you are short, too, that'd be helpful.

No. I'm using my own mod pack, and none of them fiddle with the number of starting POPs.

It's not a big deal, however. Getting 2 Trad Picks right away, or getting one on gamestart and one 3 (or 4?) months later.

But I think it'd be useful to hear from others, to see if I and Silver are the only ones who have this problem.

That's not to say I disbelieve you, but I cant fix something I can't replicate.
Do you have any mods that increase the number of starting pops?

That's really strange, since I havent been able to replicate the issue at all. I've tried the mod both in vanilla and my usual modpack and it works fine for me.

I get this effect in every game, that I don't have enough Unity to choose 2 picks, even when I play a perfectly normal empire with just 1 species, not Syncretic, Mechanist or Gestalt. I have to wait about 3 months before I have enough Unity to take the 2nd pick.

All of them. I create a new race with every game, different ethics and civics. Always have this issue.

Hmm, I'll look into it when I can find the brainpower. Odd question, but what ethcis andcivics are you using - there used ot be an odd combination with Syncretic evolution that caused higher than normal unity costs at the start.

I have the same issue, except I’m *not* using any mods that affect Tradition costs. It seems as if 2.1 increased Tradition Unity costs a bit, relative to 2.0.

I am having an issue where I get enough Unity points for only 1 tradition, and then have to wait 1-8 months to get the next one!

I am using Plentiful Traditions mod and a few others, although nothing that should alter tradition requirements. Any idea what to do about this?

The mod works fine in 2.1, just ignore the 'outdated' tag, since it only refers to a version number, and is no indication of wether a mod actually will or will not work. I will try and get around to updating the version numbers when I'm able.

Any chance to get an update to 2.1?

Unfortunate, but unless I can confirm that most people ARE using the beta, I cant update for it, since updating the starting unity for it would give 3 traditions to some empires in 2.0.1, and that's getting beyond where i wanted to go. If the beta lasts more than another week or two, i'll consider creating a temporary version for the Beta, with the increased unity.

It seems as if they're going to keep the beta going for a while.

Allright. Once it goes out of beta, i'll update as soon as i can ^^

I'm playing 2.0.2beta, yes. The amount of Unity given is enough to take 1 pick and somewhere to the road to 2nd pick. About half. 'ish.

Allright, thanks for the info. I've been playing the last few days and not had any problems, so I need to ask for more information, such as what traits and so on the race you were using has, as a very few greatly increase the cost of traditions. Also, are you playing the 2.02 beta? if so, I cant update the mod for it until that stops being a beta, sorry.

You need to update this mod.

Recently Traditions were changed to cost more Unity, I think it was in 2.0.1 or in 2.0.2beta, and so the amount of starting Unity given by your mod isn’t enough to but 2. It’s enough for about one and a half pick.

Many thanks to you for this mod, and for his support.

ok thank you

I will update all of my mods for 2.0 as soon as I am able. However, they should all still work (you can ignore the outdated warning, that only refers to a version number, and isnt an indication of wether the mod will work or not)

can it please get an update for 2.0

Yes, I was planning on doing that today.

Would it be possible to update the mod version though so there isn't a bright red warning about 1.9?

Ah, allright :D No worries then. Thankyou.

Sorry for the confusion.

I apologize for what I said I meant it IS working.

Allright, thanks for letting me know. I'll look into it when i can. If you can tell me, are you not getting any starting unity, or not getting enough?

It should be just fine, though I havent tested that yet, which I'll do tonight or tomorrow.

Does this need an update for 1.9?

Updated the mod:

Increased the number of starting unity from 167 to 200 to fix an edge case issue where empires with both the Slaver Guilds and Syncretic Evolution civics wouldn't have enough unity for 2 traditions.

Thanks to Stad122 for finding this for me.

Glad to hear it!

Found time to update the mod, and my grandmother is home safe, and will be fine. Thank you for your concern. ^^

@Kreldin Foxclaw to hell with the mod, focus on family mate. We're a bunch of randoms on the internet, we can wait.

I hope your family member is ok!

I will be updating the mod hopefully over the next few days, though with a family member in hospital, it's hard to concentrate on anything.

Please tell me there will be an update for the new patch.

No worry's, you did all you could
