happiness rework

collection

@Basileus
Thanks for the feedback!
Maybe my St Exupery Collection is something for you, you can choose to add 2 more settings that enhance the experience playing a tall empire. I also patched this mod to make it more impactful lategame [-90% influence] The original mod [max -80%] will still be available on civfanatics for those who prefer that version.

Thanks for playing

updated, for details see change notes

I'm really looking forward this but at the moment after doing many playthroughs with this mod at diety difficulty it feels lackluster, even having only 1/5 of influence when going wide doesn't make a tall build available, even for influence heavy characters.
I suggest bonuses on tall more than detrimental factors on wide, like more growth, science and culture, probably something along the line of x1.5 per non-used settlement (net gain of 50%).
Just a suggestion ofc, great thought and mod nonetheless!

So you can basically try to talk the AI into not overrunning you with its huge and disorganized army.

you can try a one city challenge if you feel fancy

the numbers:
total influence gain gets a deduction per additional settlement after your capital, starting from -20% up to -80%;
base influence is increased;

this change will create options to build small and gives comeback mechanic to civs falling behind;

You will be able to spent influence more freely at the start; it doesn't feel like a "get more get good" but more like a mechanic that balances small and big civs and slow and fast expansion;

happy you give it a try and feedback is welcome!

Any explanation on how does it work?
What is the penalty for each settlement? for each city, for each town? How does it change with city cap? Does it supersede the happiness penalty?
I am committed to try it, but I would love to know more.

Ahhh nice!
