Early Warning Systems and Aerospace Control Agency Wonder

A fairly simple mod that reworks/rebalances the game’s nuke Population loss and interception system by updating an existing building and adding two new ones (including a National Wonder).

This mod requires G&K and BNW.

• Reworks the existing Bomb Shelter building so that it now only gives a -25% Population loss reduction bonus instead of the original -75%, as well as changing its required Tech to Nuclear Fission.
  
  
• Adds a totally new defensive building, the Early Warning System, unlocked with Telecommunications. This building reduces the Population loss from nuclear attacks by -40% and grants the city a 25% chance to intercept nukes!
  
  
• Adds a totally new defensive/military National Wonder, the Aerospace Control Agency, unlocked with Radar. This Wonder upgrades city defenses, grants additional Aircraft Unit slots, reduces the Population loss from nuclear attacks by -25%, and grants the city a 25% chance to intercept nukes!

Q: What percentage of Pop reduction bonus can I achieve with this mod?
A: Up to -90% on the city with the Aerospace Control Agency NW. For all other cities, -65%. The latter is 10% lower than the vanilla game’s Bomb Shelter’s -75%.

Q: What exactly did you change about the vanilla Bomb Shelter?
A: Its prerequisite Technology is now Nuclear Fission, meaning it is now unlocked in the Atomic Era. Its Pop reduction bonus has also been lowered to -25%, making it far less overpowered.

Q: What exactly does the Early Warning System do?
A: The Early Warning System – unlocked with Telecommunications – is a better version of the Bomb Shelter, giving a -40% Pop reduction bonus and a 25% chance to intercept nuclear warheads. It costs 2 Gold base upkeep, compared to the Bomb Shelter’s base 1 Gold.

Q: What exactly does the Aerospace Control Agency NW do?
A: This National Wonder – which requires an Airport in all cities, unlocked with Radar, upgrades its city available Aircraft Unit slots by 4, upgrades its city Defense by +14, upgrades its city Health Points by +25, reduces the Population loss from nuclear attacks by -25% and gives the city a 25% chance to intercept nuclear warheads.

Q: I like the idea behind this mod but it seems too bloated, can you make a stripped down version?
A: I won’t make another version of this mod, but feel free to edit it yourself and republish it if you want to.

Q: What the hell is the Early Warning System’s icon supposed to be?
A: It’s a picture of a Solid-State Phased Array Radar System (SSPARS) from Clear Air Force Station in Alaska, USA.

Q: Is this compatible with <insert my favorite mod here>?
A: Not yet! If you want me to add compatibility with another mod, just comment down below :)

Version 1.20:

• Fixed a bug where the AI would not build the Early Warning System or the Aerospace Control Agency.
• Updated the Icon Atlas for both the new building and NW. Looks better now.
• Updated both the new building and NW with a <DisplayPosition> tag. 3D models will now show up in-game when you build either of them.
• Updated text on the mod's description. Again. Looks cooler now.

Version 1.10:

• Added nuke interception functionality to the Early Warning System and Aerospace Control Agency.
• Removed nuke interception functionality from the Bomb Shelter (Gaia's Core Mod compatibility).
• Made it so City States can't build the Aerospace Control Agency.
• Updated text on new buildings. Small typos, this and that.
• Updated text on the mod's description. Looks cool now.

Version 1.0:

• Initial release.

• When using Gaia's Core Mod, the former's "help" text description appears instead of this mod's. Huh. Weird.
