About this mod

After many hours of enjoying the base game, I decided to try my hand at modding with the aim of providing a different gameplay experience.

Focus:
* Interesting tech tree decisions
* More options to specialise your city
* Larger difference between early/late units

Overview

Version 1.2.2 has now been released! [01/02/2024]

After many hours of enjoying the base game, I decided to try my hand at modding with the aim of providing a different gameplay experience.

This is a compete overhaul of the game, almost all weapons traits and units have been adjusted in some way.

Focus:
  • Interesting tech tree decisions
  • Tech expanded to 15 tiers making some techs harder to reach
  • More options to specialise your city
  • Units specialised to specific roles, opening counterplay/builds



The Details

The list of changes got too big for the steam description so I've compiled them into a google document:

Always happy to receive feedback, especially in terms of balance. I tend to play on World size Large, Land mass Low and Low resources, artefacts, wildlife. I find this leads to more interesting fights over resources, chokepoints that can be held and opens up flanking transport moves across large bodies of water.



Compatibility

As this is a complete overhaul mod it generally won't be compatible with other mods.

I've avoided touching the following areas, so mods only impacting these may be compatible:
  • map generation
  • difficulty settings
  • textures
