DMS' Civilizations - Ragusa (Nicolo Vito di Gozze)

A short introduction

A fair warning, this Civilization and its mechanics will not be to everyone's taste. This, I think, probably due to several aspects of the design, the first and foremost being that this is a one-city-civ (or OCC, if you will), and I can definitely respect that. However, when I started working on this Ragusa (what, late 2014?) I had played a lot of games with Venice and actually enjoyed the experience. The change in focus from the usual Empire management (tall and wide alike) to the City-State experience felt to me more intimite and personal for some reason. Or rather, it had the potential to do so, if the existing game-mechanics allowed it. So that was what I wanted to achieve, and having always been fascinated with the Maritime Republics, Ragusa felt like a good choice. When I started researching its history more thoroughly, I realised the choice hadn't just been good, nah it'd been damn near perfect, with its legacy of starting one of the world's first state organised secret intelligence and security systems based around their skills in diplomacy and trade. Well, you can read the civilopedia for that if you want. In any case, that was the motivation behind the design. I hope you'll enjoy it!

Trade Company

The Trade Company Improvement is the Rector's Unique Great Tile Improvement. It can be constructed within both your own and foreign territory, but only on top of existing Trading Posts. Constructed within your own territory, the Trade Company simply acts like a Customs House. However, constructing it within foreign territory, it claims the Tile and will for as long as you control it, each turn steal a bit of the Influence the former owner had with its most allied City-State.

Intelligence System

The Intelligence System offers a set of Temporary and Permanent Effects, each with three Levels.
The Temporary Effects are as follows:

Walls of Dubrovnik
Increased City Defense and HP by 50/85/125% in Ragusa for 8 turns.

Informant Network
Visibility of all foreign Units within a radius of 6/9/12 tiles of Ragusa for 8 turns.

Defender of Liberty
Military Naval Units earn Experience 50/100/150% faster for 8 turns.

The Permanent Effects are as follows:

Food Supply
Each outgoing International Trade Route generates +2.5/2.5/2.5% Food in Ragusa.

Direct

In the past I have either provided a direct download option through Dropbox or Drive, or recommended using SteamWorkshopDownloader[steamworkshopdownloader.com]. However, the former has the disadvantage that it requires me to keep the direct download version of the mod up-to-date, which is unnecessarily inconvenient, and the latter is unstable and often not functioning. Thus if you need to download this mod directly, let me know and I will provide a link.

Supported Mods

This mod should be compatible with all the listed mods. Do note that JFD has collected his mods into a expansion-sized mod - the JFDLC - and support is for this rather than for the individual outdated mods is prioritised.
