I want the right red cookie

Am I the only person that thinks this mod makes the game way too easy?

Could be interesting since the AI is very poor in use of gold.

It can be applied at anytime, I believe.

Does this work only with a new savegame or can I apply this mod to a game in progress?

sad times

To this day 0 cookies were claimed :(

kekw

this mod makes the game too easy

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

this is awesome, thank you. perfect for a casual like me

@dropshotkillerb Also, if you still needed help getting it to work, it probably only works with new saved games. In my experience it did FYI.

I seriously haven't had this much fun with any game in a long time, nevertheless with Civ 5. Thank you so much for making and sharing this mod with us, I'm having a blast with it.

i have a problem im still getting upkeep on all troops and buildings

@The 420th Gunslinger Then don't freakin' subscribe to this mod, you selfish prick. Not everyone wants to play video games because they want to be "challenged" the whole freakin time. Sometimes you just wanna lay back and have a good time. Shut up with your selfish attitude.

Are the cookies gluten free?

The issue is that upkeep increases exponentially as you advance in time, it reaches a point where having land units is simply not an option at the super end game

wow this is a pathetic mod. your trying to make the game easier? do you play on easy? I want a challenge not a garenteed win... LAME

ok that explains that

Also I started making these mods around the holiday seasons... shortly after I published them a couple of people kept complaining about the mods, about how they (blatantly obvious cheat mods) makes the game too easy, and why would anyone have the audacity to seemingly publish cheats for "their favorite game".

Also those are cookies resemble really good sugar cookies that my aunt often gave me during holiday seasons...

So instead of arguing with the people who were oblivious to the obvious I decided to make a little backhanded meme in response.

For Sarcasm and Humor purposes.

When I was a kid in elementary school the teachers would give out little "participation awards" that were star shaped stickers... I hated this practice because they only gave them out to the bad or dumb kids. The whole act of giving people "participation awards" is honestly a disgusting behavior because not only is it really deceptive and misleading, its unbelievably condescending and cruel... giving people a false of sense and value of accomplishment... not to mention disgustingly hypocritical because you knew the teachers dislike / hated the kids that they were giving the "participation awards" due to all the frustration you see they have to deal with on like a daily basis, and how fake and phony their smiles were.

whats with the star cookies

Just a little faq response to anyone finding this mod.

1. Does it apply to the AI?

Yes

2. Why does it affect the AI also?

Because to make this mod all I did was edit a single 1 to a 0 in the game logic files that basically asked "do you want upkeep enabled or not?". This mod functions like a basic light switch in a house, it only has 2 states... on or off.

3. Will I ever make a version of this mod that does not apply to the AI?

No.

4. Why not?

Well first reason is I haven't played this game in like 4 years, and never liked the game. I only played it for like a week.

Second reason is it took me a lot of time just to learn how to do the basic modding stuff the first time around... and well its been like 4 years so I don't really remember how to mod anymore and I am not willing to spend any more time making mods for a game I don't play and I never really liked.

Third reason... all the mods I made were very low level modding that basically only involved changing a bunch of 1's to 0's in a couple universal parameters... basically flicking the on and off switch for parameters that apply to everyone.

Fourth reason... I don't think it is even possible to make a version of this mod that only applies to players... or at least not in the method I used to make this mod since there is no pre-defined player only parameters... it might be possible with some kind of script... but I am not going to do that due to all the reasons previously listed.

Fifth reason... the AI cheats anyways or rather like in most RTS games the AI has a handicap where it gets bonus resources / stats anyways because the AI doesn't actually play the game or know how to manage its own economy. They either just randomly spawn in units for free at scripted intervals, or get scripted income bonuses that give them free money so that they can always buy units. So it makes no difference whether or not it applies to the AI also since money is not a factor for them.

Its not possible to make a player only version.

when you make an player only version i will download it / subscribe it

why does it apply to the AI remove that..

I have answered this question like 30 times in the comments, yes.

does it apply to AI

does it apply to AI

Can we use it in multi

next you could make like this mod button like in some of the first civ games have. where you can choose, like: units you want building u want...

Np, but thanks anyway.

Sorry I have no idea @Galactic_Legend. I never got that far into modding CIV 5, and I haven't played the game in like 3 years. Probably better to ask one of the bigger mod pages.

Okay, so I have a question for you. As a moder, maybe you would know.

Is it possibe to take a map (Example: Middle Earth) and after manually placing every city location and giving that city X amount of tiles per territory, is it possible to make every location outside of the players and AI's startling location vacent or a city state? Basicly, could the map be set up for a Total War game like style?

Hum..I shall look into this. Thank you.

I believe if you download the SDK for the game under Library -> Tools. It will give you the PDF file that tells you how to mod the game. It shouldn't be too hard to do. All you have to do is open up my packaged mod and the other mod, open up it up and look at the code inside my mod, or just copy and paste the xml file into the other mod and repackage it.

Cause all this mod is are these few lines of code.

Fair, I could try that. Google or Youtue tend to be semi-reliable in providing some kind of tutorial...that or just ask the creator of the mod if there was a better way to fix it. Thanks though!

I have to admit I like what your mod does. It makes the game easier yes, but I find Gold in this game is like trying to balance happyness early game in Galactic Civs. A brutal pain in the rear end. Maybe I am just not quite fomiliar on how to properaly balance city building. No idea.

In any case, thenk you again for your reply. Great mod xD

Nothing I can do on my end. You could open up the Lord of the Rings True Start Locations file and edit the same values I edited. Though don't ask me how to do it since I don't remember anymore... its been like 3 years.

Okay forget my last comment. Note, this mod is not compatable with Lord of the Rings True Start Locations...interesting...

Could that be fixed?

Question, my game is telling me this mod requires another mod to function, but I dont see anything stted about this above. Did I miss something or is this just the game being problematic?

dont works

this mod makes the game too-... much better

@TheNikachu Yes. But it honestly doesn't matter since the AI cheats anyways.

does this apply to the ai to?

It seems that unit upkeep stil rises but a little bit as time passes for some reason

Lmao I'm no pleb. Read through ur instructions. Can't wait to play around with some AI with it

Still waiting on the video evidence.
