Description
This mod adds USA civilization with Martin Luther King.
The trait is: +50% maintenance of all units, -50% production for all units,
boost of 20 faith when you build a religious building in capital (50 faith if it is a wonder),
if you are influential (with tourism) on a player, every 12 turns (7 if you are dominant) you
receive a citizen in one of your cities from one of his cities that has more than 8 citizens.
The Unique Unit is Preacher: it replaces missionary, it has 1250 religious strength and 5 moves.
The Unique Building is Baptist Church that replaces Hermitage. Like Hermitage with this differences:
+4 faith, free policy, +30% tourism for the less happy civilizations.
This mod adds the Baptist religion too.

This is my first mod with file lua.

Martin Luther King Jr. was an American Baptist minister and activist who became the most visible spokesperson and leader in the civil rights movement from 1954 through 1968. In March 1964, King and the SCLC joined forces with Robert Hayling's then-controversial movement in St. Augustine, Florida. Hayling's group had been affiliated with the NAACP but was forced out of the organization for advocating armed self-defense alongside nonviolent tactics. However, the pacifist SCLC accepted them. King and the SCLC worked to bring white Northern activists to St. Augustine, including a delegation of rabbis and the 72-year-old mother of the governor of Massachusetts, all of whom were arrested. During June, the movement marched nightly through the city, "often facing counter demonstrations by the Klan, and provoking violence that garnered national media attention." Hundreds of the marchers were arrested and jailed. During the course of this movement, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was passed. In December 1964, King and the SCLC joined forces with the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) in Selma, Alabama, where the SNCC had been working on voter registration for several months. A local judge issued an injunction that barred any gathering of 3 or more people affiliated with the SNCC, SCLC, DCVL, or any of 41 named civil rights leaders. This injunction temporarily halted civil rights activity until King defied it by speaking at Brown Chapel on January 2, 1965. During the 1965 march to Montgomery, Alabama, violence by state police and others against the peaceful marchers resulted in much publicity, making Alabama's racism visible nationwide. King, representing the SCLC, was among the leaders of the "Big Six" civil rights organizations who were instrumental in the organization of the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, which took place on August 28, 1963. Estimates of the number of participants varied from 200,000 to 300,000. King delivered a 17-minute speech, later known as "I Have a Dream". "I Have a Dream" came to be regarded as one of the finest speeches in the history of American oratory. The March, and especially King's speech, helped put civil rights at the top of the agenda of reformers in the United States and facilitated passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. On Thursday, April 4, 1968, King was staying in room 306 at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis. King was fatally shot by James Earl Ray at 6:01 p.m., as he stood on the motel's second-floor balcony. The bullet entered through his right cheek, smashing his jaw, then traveled down his spinal cord before lodging in his shoulder.

I... this Mod just seems very confused, and Bizzare, Certainly Never heard of what his faith was, and it certainly never had anything to do with his movement. This could have been a great anti aggression/war Civ, maybe Full on can't capture enemy cites but had High Defense, and ways to hit the other Civs' culture/tourism and Morale/Happiness. Many ways one could have made him anti war/aggression... without ridiculously crippling his unit capability.

Certainly can't set up a "sit in," on a Bus, restaurant or against an attacking Civ when you got no Money or production for any units to be there at all. XD

Sorry if I did not answer before but I did not have the time. I do not very much agree on reducing the religious bonus either because, in my opinion, MLK without religion makes little sense (the trait faith bonus only serves to make MLK more likely to have a religion and nothing more), because the UU and the UB is what represents MLK. If you suggest something to me that can replace one of these two things (especially to replace the preacher between the two) in a sensible way, only that nothing comes to mind for me.

we already have MLK as a leader in today's age... bernie sanders says most of the things MLK spoke about... because of this i would say to be more accurate to MLK's ideas that instead of religion maybe a happiness focus if you were to change the religious part of the mod as suggested below...

Nice idea for a civ. Just a few suggestions; I would have used "We Shall Overcome" instead of "I Have A Dream" for the UA, because the former was more emblemic of the entire Civil Rights Movement MLK represented. I'd also focus less on religion as a civ, because even though the baptist church was very important to the movement, it wasn't as dominant as this mod's UU and UB make it seem.

Sometimes the pride and the desire to feel superior to others makes bad jokes ... however I wrote American culture only because for a long time outside the United States there was no mention of Martin Luther King. However, he, in my opinion, would have been capable of being a true leader; just think, if I'm not mistaken, about when in the first march that should have started from Selma, he decided not to leave even if everything was ready and everyone followed him in the choice they did not share. How many leaders today would have this weight even on their closest collaborators?

Martin Luther King tried to highlight a deficiency of the American culture of the time (and in part still now). For me this is more than enough for a person to feel represented by him; even more so because it has always been peaceful differently from Malcolm X.
