[DEPRECATED] Remove 1-turn policies

Description
DEPRECATED
I'm no longer maintaining this mod and likely won't even respond to comments here. This game option (and many more) is maintained in my flagship mod: DB's Civ VI Gold. Unsubscribe to this and subscribe to that.




Removes the policies that are used for only a turn:
-Professional Army
-Retinues
-Force Modernization
-Land Surveyors
-Expropriation

I don't like the play where you save up all your cash, and then game the civics tree so that you upgrade all your soldiers (or buy a bunch of tiles) for discount like so:

1) Learn all-but-1-turn on civic A, then switch to civic B
2) When you finish civic B you select civic A and the Professional Army policy
3) Upgrade all your army for half-price
4) Next turn you finish civic A and switch off Professional Army

Just two lines of SQL.

DELETE FROM Policies WHERE PolicyType = 'POLICY_LAND_SURVEYORS' OR PolicyType = 'POLICY_PROFESSIONAL_ARMY' OR PolicyType = 'POLICY_RETINUES' OR PolicyType = 'POLICY_FORCE_MODERNIZATION' OR PolicyType = 'POLICY_EXPROPRIATION' ;

DELETE FROM ObsoletePolicies WHERE PolicyType = 'POLICY_LAND_SURVEYORS' OR PolicyType = 'POLICY_PROFESSIONAL_ARMY' OR PolicyType = 'POLICY_RETINUES' OR PolicyType = 'POLICY_FORCE_MODERNIZATION' OR PolicyType = 'POLICY_EXPROPRIATION' OR ObsoletePolicy = 'POLICY_LAND_SURVEYORS' OR ObsoletePolicy = 'POLICY_PROFESSIONAL_ARMY' OR ObsoletePolicy = 'POLICY_RETINUES' OR ObsoletePolicy = 'POLICY_FORCE_MODERNIZATION' OR ObsoletePolicy = 'POLICY_EXPROPRIATION' ;

Just a quick note to say that this mod is now deprecated but the idea lives on as a Game Option in DB's Civ VI Gold .

I kind of agree, but for surveyors, I think that rather than just removing it, you should make it apply to passive expansion as well.

Also rather than removing them, you might consider making it so that once you research the advancement that grants the policy, you just get a flat discount on upgrading your units for the rest of the game.

Another idea too: professional army replaces conscription, and grants the bonus of cheaper upgrades, as well as reducing upkeep.

Yeah, metagaming is never pretty.
