Ryukyu Kingdom (Brave New World)

For whatever reason Steam refuses to download this to my mods folder. Do you have a direct download link for the mod file(s)?

I like this civ quite a lot. It's generally hard to find custom civs that are well balanced for a multiplayer environment, especially science focused ones, but I am quite satisfied with what has been done here.

The two extra trade routes provide a lot of additional early flexibility for the civ, as you can run more internal food trade routes sooner than anyone else, allowing heavier production-based tile or specialist allocation.

The UB only provides a flat 1 or 4 science, depending on if it is worked or not, but the additional scientist slot gives you the potential to get out more great scientists than anyone that isn't Babylon, so it balances out well enough.

Regarding the Pechin, I find the unit more situationally strong than weak. With proper planning it is quite possible to pull extra Great Generals via faith, Brandenburg, and the Honor tree for late game bulbing, with the former being especially powerful if part of your game strategy was built around it.

This one was okay. The Gusuku is a solid UB. The UA is nothing special, but it's decent enough. The Pechin was underwhelming though. A great general replacement just doesn't synergize well with the UA and UB for this one. Since great scientists are a lot easier to get than great generals, expending the Pechin for a technology adds very little value. It'd be a lot better if the Pechin replaced a different great person, and if it had added value beyond just a normal expenditure to discover technology. Maybe triple the amount it researches when expended, so that it really adds some value to the civ. Or add something else to it, since right now it's not that good of a unique. Overall, decent civ, but nothing great.

YNAWMP compatible?

So it doesn't. My Civilopedia isn't updated then, for some reason. Now I have to dig out what mod modifies the Harbor. Sorry about that.

-Harbors don't provide production from sea resources in BNW.
-Carthage gets free harbors in all coastal cities. 'Free' refers to getting the building immediately, not it having no maintanence cost.

So, I thought I'd give playing this Civ a try. The "Free" Harbor you get isn't Free (2G Maintenance nearly crippled me early game) and, for some reason, didn't give its bonus to Sea Resource production (until I sold it and rebuilt it with Compass). Is it supposed to be a handicap (a poor one, because if you sell it on the 1st turn, it becomes an unfair advantage).

compare this to korea for science, who would win

ah, the good times trying to conquer the world as this in EU4...

What if you conquer the world? Do you get the three mountians achievemment.
