A major expansion + rebalance mod for DeCiv Redux.
-
Barbarians are stronger and spawn more frequently, but they give greater rewards for clearing their encampments. (Credit for the "barb camps trigger ruins bonuses" concept goes to amfauzn and their "The Barbarians" mod.) In addition, the survivor camp spawn rate is also increased.
-
As a screw you to the AI's primitive sanity checks, the minimum allowed distance between cities has been increased.
-
Pantheons require twice as much Faith to found, but do not increase in cost with each Pantheon founded; every faction present in a game can now found its own religion; and passive religion spread is 50% weaker than in the base scenario.
-
Deseret Nation is now a playable faction.
-
Many units, buildings, wonders, promotions, beliefs, tile improvements, and ruins bonuses from the base scenario have been either buffed or nerfed, or in the worst-case scenario removed outright. In addition, the social policies have been overhauled. Check the Rebalance Log.md file for a comprehensive list of adjustments.
-
All 14 factions in the base scenario have had their unique ability and/or one or more of their unique components adjusted. Check the Faction Adjustments.md file for more details.
-
Terraforming is present, with the feature delegated to Mechanized Workers until such time as it is either implemented (or not implemented) in base DeCiv.
-
Two new victory conditions, restoring the "proper" Domination and Science victories. (Warning: do not enable these without disabling the standard Domination and Science victories. Having both DeCiv's Science Victory (Terraform Earth) and Colonization Victory (launch the spaceship) enabled will currently make those victory conditions impossible to achieve.)
-
Eight new factions (in addition to playable Deseret):
- Aurelian Group, a pre-war Australian mining corporation that survived the Cataclysm and is trying to rebuild its former country while remaining isolationist.
- Aztlán, the expected post-Cataclysm nation of Aztec revivalists.
- The Caliphate, a hyperoppressive Islamic theocracy with a stranglehold over Germany and several other former Western Europe nations.
- Camelot Foundation, a constitutional republic arising from what's left of Wales, England and Brittany.
- Crimson Line, a faction of hardliner Communists who took shelter from the Cataclysm inside the Moscow Metro and now seek to reunite the Soviet Union by force.
- The Harbingers, the remnants of an evil Mega-Corp who are now trying to atone for their previous practices...or are they?
- Nowa Polska, because it's going to take a lot more than the Cataclysm for Poland to be lost.
- The Oathsworn, descended from American militia who are desperately trying to keep American ideals alive despite their former nation having tried to wipe them out.
-
Ten new city-states: Calico (Labor), Carbon (Farming), Defiance (Weapons), Hockeytown (Culture), Issaquah Nation (Prayer, replacing Deseret in that slot), Izumrydniy Gorod (Research), The Pax (Research), Powderhorn Autonomous Zone (Culture), Trudograd (Trading), and Venice Beach (Trading).
-
New units:
- Barbarian: Ghoul, Suicider, Marked One, Killdozer, Dhow, Skiff, Ocean Robber, Savior of the Sea
- City-States: State Guard + Pre-War Turret
- Civilian: Great Admiral (Rekmod implementation), Military Engineer (Approximation of Civ 6 unit), Seastead Vessel
- Collectivism policy: Stalker (yes, the very same Stalker from Roadside Picnic and everything it inspired)
- Military support: Wandering Doctor + Mobile Clinic
- Naturalism policy: Eco-Terrorist
- Naval warfare: Raiding Craft, Gunboat, Exploding Boat, Scout Cruiser, Drone Ship
- Scouting: Wasteland Patrol, Border Patrol, Expeditionary Force
- Hero units (only 1 allowed per Civ): Hero of the Wastes, only available as a random camp reward
-
New buildings: Alternet Cafe, Coastal Defenses, Community Garden, Condenser Cooler, Contraband Disposal Site, Defense Directorate (City-States only), Earth Clinic (Naturalism only), Earthscraper, Ethanol Station, Food Processing Plant, Interpretative Center, Jeweler, Navy Shipyard (Rediscovery only), Sanctuary, Sociopolitical Institute, Tidal Array, Windmill Generator, and Workers' Facility (Collectivism only).
-
New world wonders: Amager Bakke, Citadel Space Station and Statue of Remembrance.
-
New national wonders:
- Homeland Defense / Wasteland Surveillance / Raider Suppression Initiatives, each locked behind a starting policy and designed to help each faction survive the early-game.
- National Reservoir System, the mod's equivalent to BNW's East India Company.
- Oceanological Center, boosting the Science output and Happiness of coastal cities for factions that have adopted the new Rediscovery policy.
- Naval War College, the naval counterpart to the Military Academy, but cannot exist in the same city as the Military Academy.
- Earthscraper Project, unlocking a powerful late-game building to aid in defending cities.
- Microwave Power Satellite, a late-game Power building for desert cities that also improves Solar collectors.
-
New ancient wonders + corresponding national projects.
-
New tile improvements:
- Armed Mining Camp, exclusive to Aurelian Group.
- Artificial atoll and Floating Settlement, unlocked at Ocean Remediation.
- Caer, imported from Rekmod, exclusive to Camelot Foundation.
- Drydock, imported from Rekmod, the Great Admiral's Great Improvement.
- Fortified Farm, exclusive to Enclavers.
- Outback Station, imported from Civ 6, exclusive to Aurelian Group (for now).
- Polder, unlocked at Engineering and can be built on Swamps, Coasts and Lakes, though the latter two require at least 3 adjacent Land tiles.
- Powership, unlocked at Electronics.
- Preservator, borrowed from Bamboolord's expansion mods, currently exclusive to The Pax.
- Seaside Resort, exclusive to Venice Beach.
- Supply Complex, the Great Merchant's new Great Improvement. No longer do Great Administrators and Great Merchants share a Great Improvement.
-
New technologies.
-
Several new resources.
-
Several new beliefs for more diverse religion customization.
-
Several new ruins bonuses with each ruins effect now being weighted, along with buffs to some of the base scenario's bonuses.
-
All 14 factions in the base scenario have received at least 1 new unique component. Again, check the Faction Adjustments.md file for more details.
-
And more is planned for the future; check the ToDoList.md file for some of these things.
