This mod needs updating to be classified as a gameplay mod. As it is, it is under the "cosmetic" category and doesn't get automatically downloaded and switched on in multiplayer games. It is causing desyncs.

Hi Ian G,
your mod has been translated into German and the translation is now part of the Civilization VI Mods - German translations mod pack.
We would be more than happy if you could refer to the language translation in your mod description.

Working 100% with GS.

there is also a bug, when you start a new game it wont load up the card until you reload the game, seems to gonna be a problem for multiplayer

I had just been thinking I might make a mod to do something very similar to this, and voila, you already did! Great minds, and all... Thank you! One question: Will the AI use this policy?

I updated the mod with the original Mod ID. Turns out it changed when I began editing the mod on my boot-camp Mac. I think I created a new mod because I didn't have the original visual studio file anymore. Thanks for the feedback!

@laurana Thank you for the mod ID :)

@infixo - Idk, if the ID changed, but looking back in my archives I had this mod with 053a803e-d930-4fe6-9a61-2e569f374c84. If you still need the original mod, though, send me a PM.

Have you change the ModID? Because my old saves don't recognize the mod. If so, what was the original ModID or where can I get the previous version?

Updated to support new DLCs and changed the Housing bonus to Culture to fix the error with integers. 0.5 housing doesn't consistently work in the game files.

This mod worked until update yesterday. In MP and now its not working.

Oh, so that is why AI only scored the food. I thought that Housing is bugged or ignored. It is another case where non-integeres are floored to integers when performing valuations. Interesting.

Value for housing has to be an integer when using this EffectType otherwise it won't register.

Works with GS, if anybody asked. Just add compatibility tag to avoid messages.

Ian, this policy fill just nicely the growth gap early on... nice idea.

May not work with the new Rise and Fall, I'll see...

i dont know what happened this mod dosent work anymore

Lovely mod! And as you say, very balance and not OP! Thanks for this!

Can you make more polices in this matter? Id like to have many to choose from, where all are good in a way, but not better then others!

Can you do techs too? =)

VanBlade You could certainly do that!
BostonBongRips I agree that housing is better than culture for the early growth, I'll upload a new version here soon.

If you want +2 food just browse to your steam workshop directory, content, 289070, 1282516512 and edit the newpolicy_gameplay.xml with notepad or something. Look at the bottom, change the 1 to a 2. Save. Tada. +2 food.

I consider using it if it was +1 food and +1 or +0.5 housing. If you've got a fast growing capital (near marshes or something) early housing can be an issue. Otherwise I would rather use +1 production in every city policy.

Yeah after some consideration +2 food would be more powerful than the policy card it would be replacing (+1 production.) Because +2 food is basically giving you a free citizen in every city, and in normal cases, most citizens will (or should be) bringing in more than +1 production. At the very least, they will be bringing in +1 production. So adding +1 culture is a reasonable compromise - but only to the capitol eh? I'd still probably just use the +1 production card in 95% of normal situations.

Part of the calculation in using this is the value of a policy it would be replacing.

2 food here also. Otherwise it would go unused for me.

+2 food would be the same as giving each city 2 additional farms, and I think that's a bit too strong. But you guys think it also needs to be more meaningful...

I agree, +1 food is not as attractive on it's own. +2 food, OR +1 food & +1 gold would be a worthwhile option.

Yea, It's a bit underpowered i agree with sercera

Good idea! It sounds a little bit underpowered though - I'd probably consider using the policy if it gave +2 food though.
