Description

Better Spectator Mod:

v1.1.4 (Compatible with Portugal Patch)

Originally built for Civilization esports event (e.g. CWC, ZLAN tournaments), this mod is intended for casters to follow and comment MP games. It is also a good way to simulate AI battle royale in SP.

In-game improvements:

Allow up to 4 players to play the game as observers
Click on the player's portrait in the HUD to jump to a player's POV
In a player's POV you can see his Tech Tree choice, Cards and more
Use the button in the Spectator bar in order to access more infos on each players' stats

How to be an observer:

In single player select the "Spectator" leader
In MP the top 4 slots are able to select the "Spectator" leaver

Note: You need to select Spectator as a Leader to access those features. In Multiplayer this function is restricted to the top 4 slots. Using Multiplayer Helper is not compulsory but if Multiplayer Helper is installed you will have access to more functions (e.g. preventing random players to play as spectators)

CPL is a league of players who love civ6 and would do anything for one more turn.
Come join the fun if you are up for the challenge. New players are always welcome.

Troubleshooting:

You are out-of-sync with the rest of the players? Most likely that's due to you having a different version of the mod. Unfortunately the auto-download isn't reliable.

Please follow the excellent guide from Zaty, a CPL admin:

Any other issues: please comment below or better log on the discord server and reach out. Ideally a savefile and a lua.log would help tackle the issue.

Hey Jack, I'm from GameWatcher and was wondering if it would be possible to talk with you in regard to your mods for Civ 6. Is it possible to chat via Steam or DC? Thanks :)

Love this mod. Great work.

Two problems I'm encountering:

1. Can't get it to work with the new Barb Mode. Can't interract with barb camps, such as bribing or hiring. Also, when the barb camps mature into city states, the city state color is invariably white (regardless of city state type), and the units do not change color from red to match the color of the city state.

2. More importantly, the spectator is included in the Great Person recruitment process. Since the spectator never earns great person points, the recruitment is effectively halted if all other players pass on a particular great person.

Is anybody aware of any fixes for these issues. Thanks so much.
