Historic Speed

Description
FULLY COMPATIBLE WITH GATHERING STORM

Description
This mod adds a new game speed called "Historic." Historic game speed has Standard-speed production times and longer-than-Marathon research times.

NOTE: Historic Speed replaces "Standard." If you are playing a non-English version of Civ 6, this change will not be reflected, so just select "Standard."

Instructions
To use this mod properly, you MUST set the game speed to "Historic"

Certain changes with this mod affect all game speeds, but it is intended to only be played with the Historic game speed. If you want to play a regular-speed game, you MUST deactivate this mod.

Details
  • Research times that are longer than Marathon and increase with each era
  • Research penalty for Techs/Civics ahead of the current game era has been increased
  • Research boost for Techs/Civics behind the current game era has been increased
  • Eureka and Inspirations only boost 20% of the cost now
  • Adjusted Great Person Points costs
  • Adjusted Golden Age and Dark Age thresholds
  • Reduced Culture and Science per population
  • Standard production costs for Districts, Buildings, and Wonders
  • Standard production costs + 10% for Units (to reduce unit spam)
  • +1 to maintenance costs for combat units (to reduce unit spam)
  • Slightly slowed city population growth
  • Increased the movement benefit of roads
  • Adjusted calendar so the year better aligns with game progress
  • New project "Local Festivities" which provides Gold and +1 Amenity per turn.
  • CO2 output from resources has been reduced by half
  • The CO2 threshold for 1 degree of climate change has been doubled

Compatibility
This mod is FULLY COMPATIBLE with Rise and Fall AND Gathering Storm!
This mod is NOT compatible with 8 Ages of Pace or any other mod that adjusts research times or game speeds.

Special Thanks
This mod was directly inspired by the Civ 5 mod "Extended Eras" / "Historic Speed" (by Pastry and Chuck Findley, respectively)

I have also incorporated formulas and ideas from the 8 Ages of Pace mod. I am indebted to Olleus' code and cleverness. If Historic Speed is not to your taste, then I highly encourage you to get 8 Ages of Pace for an experience that is closer to vanilla in pace.

Thanks to In Fame for assisting with the in-game calendar tweaking.

Makes Domination and Religion op, everything else is weak as hell. Back to standard.

This breaks a lot of the games functions rendering it unplayable. Needs to be updated but it seems to have been abandoned 6 years ago.

Cannot let CPU play as Hammurabi with this mod.

You literally have to disable and re-enable this mod EVERY time you start the game for this mod to work if you create a game in advanced mode. Absolute joke.

Is there a mod like this that replaces all speeds? Would love a marathon paced "historic speed" mod.

Babylon outpaces everyone so some adjusting needs to be done there.

Great concept, it's fun but I don't think is worth replacing Standard mode, even if at times Historical Speed can be more fun than Standard. There's really no reason to add this speed type by only replacing one of the predetermined speeds, it would make more sense to just add the Historical Speed without forcing users to replace any mode giving players ultimately more choices.
