Description
This mod adds a big chunk of content related to empire development, with a big focus on adding new mystical city upgrades to the game (pretty much all structures which do not have a mystical city upgrade associated with them in the base game get one).
New end game upgrades and also city upgrades linked to the race of a city join the party as well. In order to not overwhelm the city construction tree, a new branch of avatar technology is added for all races & classes and it will be your choice to unlock these new upgrades or not during your development.
A decent amount of care was given to the balancing of these new upgrades so that they are worth building without breaking the game balance but feel free to give me any feedback about that.
In total :
- 10 ‘common’ new mystical city upgrades, linked to common structures
- 7 mana node mystical city upgrades, linked to mana node structures
- 11 racial city upgrades (accessible only with the proper race)
- 8 mystical city upgrades linked to Shrine structures
- 5 new end game city upgrades (only one per city)
- 5 mystical city upgrades linked to elemental Heart structures
- Localisation : French & English only

Future additions- the final step with this mod would be to propose “Wonders” city upgrades which are very powerful but require different combinations of all the previous mystical city upgrades developed before (plus the vanilla one). It’s a lot of work, but I would like to get there eventually.

Lol, nevermind that. Just had a massive brain-fart... Great mod btw. Enjoying it a lot.

Sorry to be a pest but I'm having some issues running the mod after making some edits in Title.rpk, just to pump up the AI cheat bonus so my balance mod works properly. I can see your content in the TOW, but they don't show in city build menus anymore.

Is there any way to make my Title edits compatible with your mod? I tried messing with the priority but no luck there.

@Ayalin- Oh goody. Haven't progressed to a point where I can thoroughly test the new buildings. Started a new map with some questionable level-gen refinements. Should be quite the adventure.

hmm actually I think the marketing picture is wrong but in game it's good :)

oww yeah regarding the resist on Frost altar it's definitely a small mistake if that's the case. Will have a quick look, it's a 1 min fix :)

@Ayalin- Thanks for getting back to me. I mistakenly thought the shrine itself was inherent to your mod, it's that rare for me. I think it's just the RMG spazzing out. I even checked the values in Levelgenerator and all appeared normal.

Good to know the AI can use them. I chose not to enable it until this was clarified. If anything I need to make the AI more competitive, so this suits me fine.

Regards the mana structure upgrades, I noticed in the showcase there are duplicate resistance bonuses that appear thematically inconsistent. Might have been updated since then but I imagined Water Altar would be Frost resist, not Blight. I guess I will find out soon enough lol.

are you sure its not a mod causing the level generator issue? I don't think I ever had a problem like this before.
Btw yes AI will make full use of them, although most of them are tagged as 'low priority' structures.

Well scrap that part about the Earthen Mother shrines. Apparently there is an existing problem in the level-gen. Game either spawn none of them or spews massive clusters. Out of 40 maps I've only seen them appear 3 times. But when it rains, it pours.

Looks pretty sweet. Just wanted to know if the AI can make full use of these new building options?

Also, not sure how relevant this is, but after generating about 15 XL dual layer maps only two had some structures from this mod. The two in question had the mod structures clumped together- 4 or 5 Earthen Mother shrines in a 8 tile radius and nothing for the rest of the map.

Seems their might be some kind of hiccup with the levelgenerator values on these structures.

Thank you very much Greyjoy ! I am actually in the modding tool of Aow 4 right now, but it's quite a mess to be fair :/
