CAVEAT: This is all in the frame of the base game, not vox populi. Take this with a grain of salt if you built this for vox.
First things first - I love the flavor and unique aspect of this mod. If you're ok with this being super OP, that's fine - but if you don't think it's SUPER OP, allow me to make my case that this needs nerfed:
UA: Any ua that gives a flat bonus to food is going to be OP, because food is the driving resource in this game - so I'd consider removing the +1 food on resources. Remove it from all resources period - or this WILL always be OP. Consider removing luxury status from the resources. 10 freshwater farms is fairly common for a city - imagine having 10 luxury resources in a city - that's 70 gold per turn on trading. Just one city. With those luxuries you're going to have TONS of cities. Make the resources non-luxury and remove the food. Just make them great people resources, keeps the flavor of the UA while removing needless flat food and gold boosts that ruin the challenge. Also, lower Great people points to +0.2 per resource. I think the writers guild fully stocked with artisans gives +7 to great writers. Each city as it is now makes +10-15 great people points a turn total with all the resources it'll have, which is like 2 writers guilds for free that create all types of great people.
UB: I really like this one because you counter it with maintenance and higher production cost, but again, as long as freshwater farms turn to resources, this aqueduct is going to essentially create 3-6 luxuries in each city via freshwater farms. -1 gold and a few extra hammers in cost won't hold a candle to those bonuses - this pays for itself instantly, and buildings should take at least 10 or so turns to pay for themselves in value. It becomes much more balanced if you make the resources non-luxury and remove the food bonus - just have the resources be similar to bananas in that they are plantations but can't be traded and don't give happiness.
UU: This is a cool unit. It has spicy bonuses that are unique and fun - keep that boy how he is.
To summarize, remove the food bonus, remove luxury status on the resources, and maybe lower great people bonus from +1 point to 0.2 points, because each city will have like 10-15 resources on average with that aqueduct.
Yes, I play Vox Populi only nowadays so I often forget how overbuffed the civs are there with respect to the vanilla game.
But I'd like to make the mod enjoyable to as many people as possible so if it calls for a nerf then I'm gonna nerf it.
At first glance I'll probably:
Is it enough? I think with those there will be no need to adjust also the UB.
PS for Vox Populi players: most likely I'm gonna restrict the food bonus but I will keep the UA resources as luxuries because I want to exploit the monopoly mechanics.
I see in Change Log that you changed Blood Orange and Prickly Pear to Bonus resource type.
Should I be seeing these Pistachio UA luxury resources in the Corporations & Monopolies
display (using all VP mods w/EUI)?
Pistachio does show up in Resources & Happiness display, but Blood Orange and Prickly Pear do not, makes sense (Luxury vs Bonus type). I do see that other civs recognize pistachios for trade. They seem to value the pistachios at a much lower rate, but, considering the number I generate, that seems fine.
I just wanted to ask about this tiny thing and give some feedback.
I have been playing this civ in Vox Populi over the last couple of days and am having a ball! Thanks for the work & fun.
If you play VP Blood orange and Prickly pear are luxury resource too. Their respective monopolies are +3 Gold on tile and TwoKay Foods corp for Blood Orange, and +6 Happiness and Trader Sids corp for Prickly pear, while Pistachio gives +2 science on tile and unlocks TwoKay Foods corp.
The fact that the AI value the Kalbid resources less than other resources is quite common in my gameplay and I think it depends on the quantity you have available (the more you have, the less gold receive in trade deals).
The fact that they do not appear in the resource view is not normal (if you play VP where all of them are luxury).
I am glad you enjoy the mod. Thanks for the feedback and appreciation. :)
