Espingol EE compatibility doesn't work

Thanks for this civ! Chose it because it would be nice to try the gatling gun replacement. I never use those in my games. Reformstorm gives the production when the social policy is selected, nice for the first settler production. And the espingol were indeed a precursor for metalstorm, the 1000000 rounds per minute gun!

@Human The Tree , the issues with the Stadsretten building should be fixed now. Updated a couple of weeks ago, but forgot to mention it here.
Human The Tree May 31, 2016 @ 9:55pm 
Really good overall, but I'm having a few problems with the stadsretten. The first is that there is no way to move around the great works if they do go into the great work slot of the Stadsretten, which is annoying. The second problem is that none of the culture from the stadsretten kicked in until I got a golden age.

Either way is is very cool sounding. Great job!
DMS  [author] May 31, 2016 @ 3:42pm 
Well, neither actually. It was suggested by Hoop Thrower over at Civfanatics to reference the fact that Struensee issued a crazy amount of Reforms during his rule (an average of 3 a day) and I thought it sounded cool: "A Storm of Reforms". It would be the same if said in Danish though, and likely in German as well idk.
Teopochteca May 30, 2016 @ 11:44am 
Thanks for clarifying. It was "A Royal Affair." Is Reformstorm a Danish or Gemrn word? It sounds cool. :)

@Teopochteca, 'A Royal Affair'?
About the Production bonus, it's a one time bonus, which is a base 40 Production in the Ancient Era, and then scaled with the game's progress, such that, for example, in the Renaissance, you get 100 Production upon adopting a Policy. For comparision, Buildings in that Era regularly costs about ~150-300 Production and Wonders about ~500-650. Give a take.. It's compatible if one uses the Enlightenment Era mod, as well as other Era mods, but I'm not sure about balance if used together with a Game Speed mod, such as Historic Eras..

Thank you for schoosing Struense! I just saw a movie about him on Netflix. Would you just mind specifying how much production speeds up in the capital and for how long? Also do you have any suggested strategies. I'm guessing growing tall?

Good choice of timeline to pick the Leader, UU and UB for. Struensee's influence is significant to the history of Denmark.

@JFD Who are you to speak, you made a HRE mod - neither Holy, Roman, nor an Empire!! 0/10 don't download :P

@Desiigner, Thanks :)

Alright people. Indeed, Struensee were never appointed king, but he never said so. But Christian VII signed a piece of paper which made Struensee able to actually do what he want. You can easily see any of that if you just know a little history. :) - Cool mod, 10/10 :)
JFD May 28, 2016 @ 1:18am 
@DMS Strueness was not king of Denmark. Why did you even make this? 0/10.

@MNBanch (continued), Essentially he was a key player in introducing principles of the age of enlightenment in Denmark.

Further, there is a lot of great and interesting Danish Kings to choose from, I very much agree. Valdemar II 'the Victorious' (Danish: Valdemar II 'Sejr') is a great example in my opinion. That's why last year I made a Denmark Civ led by him ;). Another example is Christian IV, which JFD has already made, and yet another could be Margrete I - founder of the Kalmar Union - she has been made by Viregel (Greater Europe) and is going to be re-released by JFD soon. Further Cnut the Great (also known as Canute, and in Danish Knud den Store) who conquered great parts of England is being made by TarcisioCM. There's certainly other interesting Danish kings, but having made two, is enough for me. For now anyway.
DMS  [author] May 24, 2016 @ 2:06pm 
@MNBanch, first of all, I think you mean Christian VII and not XII as you wrote. Secondly, being Danish myself, and being something like a history nerd, I consider myself fairly well knowledgeable about who could be interesting representative of Denmark. No, Struensee wasn't Danish, but German, no, he wasn't King, but merely a doctor, yes, he seduced the Queen and yes, he usurped the crown and his rise to power was both short-lived and probably doomed from the beginning. But, that doesn't change the fact that he was the de facto ruler of state for about 13 months (and had great influence in the months before as well). In that time he succesfully introduced more than a thousand reforms (or cabinet orders if you will), making fundamental changes such as the abolition of press censorship, torture and a long list of privileges for the noble class, university reforms, ban of slave trade, etc., etc., etc.
DMS  [author] May 24, 2016 @ 2:05pm 
@Obergefreiter Joseph Porta, That is correct, but doesn't change the fact that the Danish kings from Frederik I and all the way to Frederik VI had the title "Konge til Danmark og Norge, de Venders og Gothers", the first part being the relevant one here.
Kruber May 24, 2016 @ 8:00am 
"Queen was executed by the Kings order." False. The Queen was exiled to north germany, where is delivered whom is presumed to be the daughter of the adultery between Stuensee and the Queen, however none can truely know. **

Denmark was ruler of Norway after the ending of "Kalmerunionen" (in danish) until 1814.
Frederik 1. was also King of Norway.
Banch May 24, 2016 @ 7:19am 
You had a long list of danish rulers and you chose Stuensee.. He is not even on that list.
He was a doctor who became trusted by Kong Christian XII and was apointed the Kings personal doctor. The King was mentally ill and Struensee had luck in his treatment of the King.
He seduced the Queen, and became her lover. With his position to the King and Queen he gained a lot of influence. He ued it to change the government system, which gave him a lot of enemies. After a short time he and the Queen was executed by the Kings order.
So many honorable Kings to choose from.. I'm from Denmark and I just don't get it.

Denmark Noway was technically a personal union between the two kingdoms, and not an actual unified state
DMS  [author] May 24, 2016 @ 4:17am 
Indeed he wasn't, and I don't claim he was. But he was de facto ruler of the kingdom for a time.

Struensee was never king

Quick update to fix issue with modsupport for EE, CulDiv plus some other mods. Also, nerfed the Production granted by the UA - still scaled with Era but not dependent on Capital's population. Lastly, the UB didn't actually give double Culture during Golden Ages - it does now :D.
