The Mossi Empire

Quite the aggressive civ in my experience. Wars with the neighbours frequently and cannot be trusted to keep the peace with you. And that's not mentioning how quickly they expand even outside the military aspect.

cool mod man :)

thanks for the reply :)

Trust me it isn't, pretty much everyone person who has played the mod's reaction has been "I thought it was overpowered but it was actually less powerful than I thought", so give it a go :)

You should probably play it first, refer to above comment. Also the UU doesn't have logistics. I'm unlikely to change much, I've already nerfed it, and though I appreciate your suggestions, they either wouldn't really change the civ that much, or would be unrepresentative of the culture.

Sounds like a really cool civ but I'm wondering if the fact that mounted units can found cities is a little too OP. (:

So actually I think the UA should be "worked luxury tiles yield 1 happiness, -25% road maintenance" (the tile would show 1 happy face on its yields). The circus would have its base 2 happiness and be able to be built without restriction (this is an advantage already), OR give "mounted units built on this city gain the settler and road builder promotions" (this would be nice advantage if chosen, you can give them horse priority or even spawn horses under the capital?). And finally the unique unit would get "this unit has 5 movement points and blitz promotion, blitz is lost on upgrade" OR "5 movements and may settle cities and build roads".

Needless to say I dont believe it is balanced. You should remove the free pillage, they got 5 moves and "logistics" already, that is pretty strong military advantage already, they are best for city flipping or attack and retreat in general, unless it doesnt carry over on promotion, then I guess you can keep the pillaging. The Naaba court shouldn't give production, I think 4 happiness and no requirements (and two more on the colosseum) is more than good enough for a settling strategy. If you want to keep the extra bonus (for military effect) you should force it to require horses so that you can't have 6 possible early happiness on every city. That way your production advantage (military/better settling) is offset by a disadvantage (have to handle happiness), right now you kill all the disadvantages of settling.

Without playing it, you'd get to the horseman, build it cheaper on any and all cities (it costs less hammers than non-liberty-capital settlers and can be reduced further with stable and your circus unique) without harming food growth, make it build its own road to it settling position (or to the previous city you founded), and settle ICS style because the circus covers happiness, and the lesser road maintenance gives you extra gold for rush buying circuses when needed. The ICS and constant food growth will give you the rest of gold via city connections to a big capital.

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it! Yeah, I don't know why the Nakombse costs so much to upgrade, that was unintentional.
