@Mercury_1967: I did in my comment on that date, it's called Super Spies.

Whether or not Super Spies is even still on the Civ VI workshop I can't say, I haven't been active with Civ VI or it's workshop for nearly 2 years now and currently I have no plans to get back into it purely as a result of the asset limit hard-coding limitations making playing it how I want to completely unachievable.

Maybe Firaxis will surprise us all by providing modders with full access to the game's code to fix these sorts of issues sometime, preferably well before the release of Civ VII, like they did with Civ V well before Civ VI was even announced, but evidence that they will so far is sadly lacking...

@Mercury_1967 yes it only works with new games

This isn't working for me on a game that I had going - will it only work on a new game?

@cobber51 - could you provide the name of the mod taht you mentioned on 6/20/22, please?

@Sejong25 the mod Hydragal requests would be one line:

UPDATE Policies SET PrereqCivic = 'CIVIC_COLD_WAR' WHERE PolicyType = 'POLICY_FUTURE_COUNTER_SCIENCE';

@ChrisMartin:

I discovered an alternative mod to this one the other day, though haven't play tested it yet. It's called Super Spies, and it has this mods' functionality but add some extra like spies going to level 6 promotions, just like combat units on the map. That might be a suitable option for your needs and desires, though as I said haven't play tested it so can't say for sure...

Also having errors like this in my logs. But the mod works, just not sure if it can cause late game crashes...

Getting this error in my Database.log file when trying to run a game with this mod active:

ERROR: no such table: Modifiers.

Also, in the Modding.log file I'm seeing this message corresponding to the above error message:

ModdingUpdateConfigurationDatabase - Loading Choose Any Spy Promotions.sql
Warning: ModdingUpdateConfigurationDatabase - Error Loading SQL.

I have all of Civ VI's DLC content, including all of the NFP content, and haven't got any other mods that are touching spy promotions, as far as I can see or recall anyway. I'll double check that though, just to make sure.

@Hydragal
That's a great idea, and I totally feel you; games too easy are not fun. However, I simply lack the knowledge to make such a mod. This one was easy because I simply updated an abandoned existing mod. I believe what you describe is possible, but I cannot help you, sorry.

Hey, would it be simple to make a mod that simply moves the policy card that does this to an earlier civic? I appreciate this mod, but I enjoy some limitations. I haven't thought much about what civic might make sense, but I've long thought that the policy card for this comes way to late to ever be useful.

Awesome, thanks!

I've made one for rock bands too. No more random promotions! The link's in the description.

@Jace the Ace
Thanks! I'll see what I can do.

Useful mod! Can you make something similar for Rock Bands?

@ggorererere 네

지금 되나요?

@StickyRice&Mayo
Hi! I'm glad to hear my mod is useful to you. What you describe is not a bug. The game is designed to give only three promotions per spy. However, if you complete the Terracotta Army while having max-level spies, they get 4th promotion.

Love the mod for over a year now but how come it only lets me choose a maximum of 3 promotions per spy?
Any way to fix that?

@Gwillewyn Did you mean apostles? Here it is: https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1680546104

You can just use Victor the Castellan's ability embrasure to get a starting promotion

Could you do the same with Prophets?

@Molotov6844 only for players

this is player only or ai aswell?

I didn't test it yet (will do now) but great mod. I was sick of forced to pick mismatched promotions from 3 options everytime my spy levels up. Thank you.

@lightbrigade43 Glad it helped!

Thank you for your mod...and thank you for the visual aid...I thought it was'nt working!

@Monster That's a great news! Thank you for your update :)

Just to let you know, while it took me a bit to double check due to an unrelated mod conflict (one of my leader mods was broken on its own, apparently), I've confirmed that this DOES work for modded leaders and nations both.

@Balde Thank you for confirming! Glad it's working.
@JNR No I didn't take out the policy card.

did you update the policy card which does the same so that it's not useless?

its working now after update

@ChrisMartin I will! Thanks for the suggestion.

Thank you for your reply. I'm looking forward to test this in my next, new game :)
My I suggest you updated the description here with new game required ?

@ChrisMartin All civ mods are effectively "opensource," so you can poke around the code in the Steam folder. Also, yes, it only applies to new games.

@Banjamin Glad you like it!
@Blade It might be other mods affecting this one. Also it doesn't apply to existing games. Sorry I can't help more.
@Das Capitolin Thanks!!

My 2 spies got one upgrade each, then enabled this mod, and are not able to scroll on the side to choose. Not the 2 I owned before the mod, and none after.
Does this mod require a new game? Is there a way I could troubleshoot this, my self?

I can confirm that this mod works in GS with Dido/Phoenicia. If I discover problems with other GS leaders, I will post here.

there's no scroll

GREAT MOD THX

Just issued another update and added a picture that shows how it should be working.

@BLÀde Did you try to scroll down on the promotion list?

@A Big Hairy Monster
Although I haven't tried with modded civ, I think it may work because I'm not manually adjusting every civs. It applies to all playable civs at once.

not working still only get 3 choices using GS

Although... it sounds to me like this wont work with modded civs because you're manually adjusting every civ instead of the individual units?

That link is from a 2018 mod. Does it still work? Would be great to be able to have both. Was always silly to me that Spy/Apostle promotions were random. Ofc, we have a way ingame to get the apostle one, but its still silly thats not the default like every other unit.

@Jessy2299 Yes, it seems like someone already made one for apostles!
https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1285298089

@jessy2299 there is one already that works

I updated it. Please let me know if the problem persists.

@Sejong25 My version of the re-worked mod came up against the same problems. I will start a discussion, since your mod published before mine.

@DasCapitolin shoot. Thanks for letting me know. I'll run some test once I get home later today.

@Sejong25 So far, I am not able to get this mod to offer promotion choices with all the GS leaders (Dido, Shaka, Kupe, Laurier, etc).
