Bunbunmaru Newspaper

Description
Adds Aya Shameimaru, proprietor of the Bunbunmaru Newspaper. Updated version?

This is an updated version of Prairial's original mod with improved localization, and better mod compatibility. If you tried the original version and Aya didn't spawn, give this a whirl and let me know how it goes.

UA (Fabricating Newspaper Reporter):
Able to interview cities to get News Materials. These can be used to collect various rewards. Starting unit replaced with Aya Shameimaru, a unique hero unit.

Rewards
  • Respawn Aya
  • Increase culture
  • Increase city-state influence.
  • Increases Tourism with Civilization
  • Force two civs to declare war
  • Steal a technology

UB (Bunbunmaru Newpaper):
Aya's national wonder, unlocked with the Printing Press. Contains three slots for Great Works of Writing which, granting 2 additional delegates in the world congress with the theme bonus

UU (Journalist):
UU of Bunbunmaru Newspaper. They can interview cities, but cannot attack. They cannot be purchased with gold, and can only train in the city with the Bunbunmaru Newspaper National Wonder.
After certain technologies are researched (writing, education, printing press, radio, flight and the Internet) you may train more Journalists.

UU (Aya Shameimaru):
The proprietor of Bunbunmaru Newpaper. An enhanced Journalist, she has a ranged attack as well as several special abilities.

Tips
  • Acquiring certain promotions, technologies (printing press and radio), and policies (media culture) will increase the materials you gain during an interview. For example, If a city's culture output is 30, you may get 30*4=120 materials at best.
  • If you adopt the Industrial Espionage policy, the cost of stealing a technology with news materials will decrease from 500 to 250, and the chance of stealing a technology during an interview will increase from 15% to 30%.

Changes from the original
  • Better localization. This is still a work in progress, please report any awkward strings you find.
  • Improved mod compatibility. See the change notes for details

This mod modifies UnitPanel and CultureOverview to add a few common hooks. While I've tried to use common versions of these files, there may still be conflicts.

Known issues and plans
  • BUG: Several localization strings are still not ideal.
  • Planned: Add News Materials to the resource bar.
  • Planned: Improve the news materials UI.
  • Planned: Add a "Close" button to Aya's Hero panel. Currently the only way to close it is by clicking the hero icon again.

If you do not get Aya when the game starts, it's likely due to a mod conflict. Please include a list of mods you're using when you report this as it'll help narrow things down. Bonus points if you can tell me which specific mod is causing the issue.

Aya doesn't work normally after I quit the game and load my save before quitting. Her abilities button disappeared and couldn't be detected after I upgrade Aya at least once. All the mods I used are infoaddicts, IGE and this mod.

I'm currently playing as this civ and well.... i don't know which mod conflicts with this but i can't create nor spawn (using in game editor mod) Aya. Do you know which mod is capable of conflicting this?

Forcing two civs to go to war? I'm already picturing a scenario for that.

more hero units? Yes, count me in as a sub!

Just a question though, doe this Civ play right with the AI?

I've thought about adding music, I just haven't had a chance to sit down and pick the tracks.

Regarding balance, I'm open go feedback here if you've got specific ideas. The UB's theme bonus might be too much, but without it the only real benefit of the civ is Aya herself. I also hesitate to make her too squishy. Perhaps a more blunt hammer like a negative production bonus on the civ might help? I just worry about impacting the late game when most of Aya's utility is early game.

Is there any way you could add more music? The mod for the Earth Spirits has some really good orchestral arranges of Touhou 11, maybe you could bring in some orchestral arranges of Tou- hou 10 ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8tgK1v-GdI ).
(The mod itself is quite good, just some ideas for improvement.)

Awesome, really glad someone brought this mod back!

And still just as stupidly broken and overpowered. Why remake something this bad?
