New York State Civ

New York State Civ New York Civilization

This mod adds a civilization based on the state of New York. I try to balance the north and the north. This mod is in a playable state but still needs more testing to make sure the lower half and leadership abilities of UA work properly (as of now they should) and the bonuses are balanced, but I don't have time so if you play with the mod or see something please let me know if something isn't working properly or something is OP or needs polishing.

Leader: John Rockefeller

• Ability: Captain of Industry; Receives a 15% wonder/item production bonus when a city has an industrial and commercial zone.

UA: The Empire State Building has two parts, the Upstate and Downstate.

• Lower State - Golden Gate: When a block is completed, all cities will have a block (has no effect on a specific city AFAIK)
• Upstate - Burnt Area: 10% extra spread power from cities, only 25% cities gained from religious battle losses

fine

UB: Wall Street - Replaces the Stock Market, adds +3 gold coins and +2 Great Merchant Points

UU: Heart of Oak - Replaces field artillery; in addition to upgrading to artillery instead of machine guns, I'm also giving Great Merchant points (I know steel is a technology you can get right after ballistics, but if you know the history of historical units and their successors, this technology will fit the theme)

NOTE: As with all Civ, there is no custom art b/c Firaxis still hasn't released the simulation tools

Future plans/ideas:

• Added Iroquois as a separate civ/mod or Hiawatha second leader for this civ and/or another leader for this civ with a northern style themed Albany capital
• Art, any suggestions/help below are welcome whenever Firaxis starts releasing tools:
• Different UU possible?
• Different first half (Downstate UA)?
• A second leader besides Hiawatha and leadership skills
• The Art of Rockefeller leaders, so it can be implemented as soon as Firaxis releases the tools and finds the appropriate way to implement the Art

This mod adds a civilization based on the state of New York. I tried to do a balance of both upstate and downstate. This mod is in a playable state but still needs to undergo more testing to make sure the 2nd half of the UA and the leader ability properly work (as of now they should) and the bonuses are balanced, but I dont have the time, so if you play the mod or see something please tell me if something isn't working right or something is to OP or needs buffing.

Leader: John Rockefeller

• Ability: Captain of Industry; receive 15% bonus to wonder/project production when a city has BOTH a industrial and commercial district.

UA: The Empire State, has two parts based of Upstate and Downstate

• Downstate - The Golden Door: Receive a pop in all cities with a neighborhood (there is no effect for a single specific city yet AFAIK) when a neighborhood is finished
• Upstate - The Burned-Over District: 10% additional spread strength from cities, only receive 25% of the penalty to cities from a religious combat loss

UB: Wall St. - replaces stock market, grants additional +3 gold and +2 Great Merchant points

UU: Hearts of Oak - replaces Field Cannon; provides Great Merchant points in addition to upgrading to artillery instead of machine guns (I know steel is a tech you can get right after ballistics, but that sorta fits the theme if you know the history of the historical unit and its successors)

NOTE: as with all civs, there is not custom art b/c Firaxis still hasn't released the modding tools

Future plans/ideas:

• add the Iroquois either as a separate civ/mod or a Hiawatha 2nd leader for this civ and/or another leader for this civ with an upstate-esque theme and Albany capital
• Art whenever Firaxis gets around to releasing the tools

Any suggestions/help for the following are welcome:

• A different UU maybe?
• A different 1st half (Downstate UA)?
• the 2nd leader other than Hiawatha & leader ability
• Art for Rockefeller leader, so it can be implemented AS …
