Enhanced Realistic Airports

• English 🇬🇧

So well, I actually conceived and completed this mod back in like, mid-2022, several months before the leaks of the Leader Pass were even out. The reason why it took so long to release was that, it isn't that high of a priority to release compared to some other mods I am currently attending to, that and basically I "slow-playtested" the mod, as in, I tested it along with other more important mods (but never testing it mainly) until the day came that I was assured all the errors were gone... and that took several tests (and one casual game tbh) because again, this mod isn't that high of a priority to work on for me. That being said, it would've been out months earlier if I had decided to prioritize it, it isn't really difficult nor tedious to code in all honesty...

Now why did I conceive this mod? It was also around in mid-2022, I was with my family and we were taking an airplane to the place where we would go to a beach resort for at least a week... being the crazy modder with a passion for this game I was, during the airport processing thingy, I was thinking something by the likes of "So many people from different places pass through here... hold on, why doesn't Civ 6 take this into account?". And then I thought about the rammifications of a world where you could literally travel to the other side of the planet from where you are in 12 hours more or less, and mentally compared it to the ancient world where you had to travel by foot/ship... (Of course, that's excluding the visa-obtaining process and all). Then, there's also the fact that airports in Civ 6 have a lower-than-usual incentive to be built, pretty weird compared to a world where the necessity of airports are super high to the point even the tiny remote Pacific nations need to have one, for accessibility. (And tourism too, let's be honest)

Long story short, I drafted this mod on the airplane on the way back to home, and just "slow-playtested" it till I was sure there was no more error. Welp, enjoy this mod where airports now have a significant effect on the world that is a late-game in Civ6~ owo
