MF doom

I hope when Civ 6 does drop, you will be adding in these mods again. I just recently discovered them and they breathed new life into the game for me. I'll still be playing them as $60 is a bit price-y to me right now anyway.

@Tiger Knight, I'm very much aware of the tundra thing, that's why he now has an nhanced settler, but even that doesn't guarantee a start anywhere near tundra, and that is extremely annoying. Short of an almost complete redesign, there's not an easy way to fix it, far as I know. And a lot of the original group of civs could use a bit of a redesign to get more Lua-based abilities, now that I know how to make them, but with Civ 6 right around the corner, I can't see it being super worth putting the time in to change them so drastically.

Thanks for checking them out, though!

If you don't start near a tundra or snow area, his ability is useless. Worse, it hinders him more than helps. The snow thing just does not balance his loss of the trade routes.

I also think Doom could have walked away with the ability to go through other territories like you gave your other civ (Diplomatic Immunity).

All and all a great Mod but still needs something. imo

@Red, yes, as much as it needs it, but for the most part I'm probably done with the ones I've released. I'm making new civs to go with them, and I think I've pretty much made all of the changes to the existing ones I'm going to. Unless there's some sort of compatability or bug or balance changes, this mod is complete.

You still updating this mod? Im loving it so far.

Yea It doesn't start on tundra or snow for me either.

Well, yeah, they are a tall-building civ. They get plenty of bonuses to growth, meaning that they can work all the snow tiles and specialists that don't give any growth much better than other civs. Building wide wouldn't benefit them much, since a lot of those cities wouldn't get their unique science bonuses, and wouldn't offset the science penalty.

And yes, you're not wrong, Latveria in the comics has plenty of forests and foliage sometimes, but from a design standpoint, Doom is the only one in my mods with ties to Tundra and Snow, and enforcing those ties encourages his isolationist attitude.

Still, I'd thnk latveria a more tall building civ, it's quite tiny in the comics, and in a temperate region (though it snows there, many places that recieve snow are given different tiles on the map to represent the summer more than the winter). Just my thoughts though

Were I you, I would use the trade routes to go between your own cities, further adding to the UU's growth bonus, or boosting your production when needed.

Do you mean that the country isn't anywhere near snow or tundra in the comics? Because if so, almost every image that shows some landscape has snow. But if you mean that in-game they don't start near tundra, then yeah that tends to be the case. I have them set for a tundra bias, but they don't start on or near tundra a whole lot, and there's not much I can do about it.

And as for the UA, you're not meant to build farms on EVERY tile, but it lets you build more if you need to have more population in your cities, especially if you don't settle near a river (and the bonus science still counts with a trading post). Plus, the science bonuses are only for you, so enemies other players aren't goig to be as eager to attack your city that has a whole lot of useless snow tiles, so it's a kind of natural defense, playing up his isolationist attitude. And you wouldn't be getting science bonuses from trade routes anyways, you're proabably always going to be in the lead in science.

But latveria isn't even anywhere with tundra or snow tiles.... and the U.A. is actually less helpful than not having one due to lost gold and science from trade >.>
