Current and future features
Here we can discuss the features of the mod. What do you think this mod should do? Information is nice, but for some players, too much information feels like cheating. But I believe that everyone should be able to play as they like. So what would you like the mod to tell you, and when?

For example:

-Which player(s) are you racing against
-How many turns in front or behind are they
-A changed production speed for another player
-A repeated notification when you are losing the race

*** Planned features ***
-Change WR options from the in-game options menu
-Notifications when AIs start building spaceship parts
-Multiplayer compatibility

What about buffing all wonders to match Civ2 feel?

What do you mean, make the yields and effects stronger?

I always play with Wonder Race and like it a lot. I'll try your improved version. Of the questions you asked above, I think "How many turns in front or behind are they" would be the most useful to me.

Thank you for your feedback :) I will definitely include that in a future update, at least as an option. The code for it is actually there already, so if you know xml and you don't want to wait, you can go and uncomment if yourself.

? My read tells me All Options are turned OFF ? Why get a mod that does nothing ?

I am a long-time user of Wonder Race and have liked its benefit and performance. I do like your feature improvements.

I do not like to monkey around with editing programs. Typos are too easy to make and I am no programmer. If options are to be off, there should be an easy Box Check to turn each option On/Off.

I would like notifications to be repeated each turn, ID of other player {only if met}, and how many turns Behind/Ahead one is.

Wonders buffing should be left to the Wonder Mod Dev.

@DerEider Thank you for your comment. When all options are turned off, you get the basic notifications, more or less like the original Wonder Race mod. The options are there for people who want more features.

I am sorry about the inelegant way it's done at the moment. I will make it possible to toggle the options inside the game when time permits, but for now this has to do. That said, it is not very difficult to do (just a bit cumbersome), just replace "false" with "true" in the file and save. You do not have to restart Civ V after making this change, but you will have to reload your game.

For the setup you describe, set WRRepeatLosingNotification, WRNotifyCompetitorID and WRNotifyTurnDiff to "true" (without quotes).

At the moment, repeating notifications is not available if you are ahead in the race (to be honest, I did not think anyone would be interested in that), but if you want it, I will include it in the next update.

Thanks for your prompt response. As you noted, I would not need notification repeated when ahead.
