1 year per turn balancing mod

[Ludivico Sforza]

I'm planning a similar mod of my own.

So far Ive got:

1) Timescale to 0.50
2) Quadruple build times (in some cases I will rationalise build times somewhat, so a tavern can be built in a turn, but a cathedral in 20)
3) Increase build and unit costs.
4) Leave income as it is, since you have four times the time to accumulate income.

Also, does anyone know if it is possible to add a culture yet? I'd like to extend the game to 1600-ish and add in the Reformation.

what about discoveries and advasncements in technology?

The reason for cutting down income is simple:since most building would take longer to build (let say that the building time would rise from 2 to 4) you would need to "buy" new building after 4 turns, not after 2. So you would have 2 more turns for accumulating extra profits.

These can be added as historical events.

Doesn't that assume you are not altering the build costs?

I mean they are random ? Or based on turn count? or year count?

You can give a year interval I think from which a year is randomly chosen to generate the event (probably at game start).

[Ludivico Sforza]

The events are scripted to occur X number of years from the start date.

And yes, you can specify a range of years for the events to occur also.

You have to consider population growth values also.
