Description
Civilizations now begin with one of three starting Governments based on their historic characteristics: Chiefdom, Horde, or Polis. These Governments each come with 1 Wildcard Slot and another Slot Type specific to them. The starting Governments are below:*

  • Horde: Aztecs, China, Japan, Macedon, Mongolia, Ottomans, Persia, Scythia.
  • Polis: Greece, India, Khmer, Pheonicia, Sumeria.
  • Chiefdom: All else.

These Governments can be freely switched between.

This mod also adds a new Diplomatic Policy unlockable at Code of Laws.

This mod is a part of a series of mods called 'Rule with Faith.' Mods with this tag are intended to be played together, but can also be played standalone.

love the concept but could somone make it so whenever any civ researches the next tech after code of laws(ie researches foreign trade/researches craftmanship) your able to choose the government that you want.

something went wrong and now i cant access to civics tree and goverment tree.
these are just un openable
im not sure if its becouse this mod or other but definitly becouse one of rule with faith mods
can sbtell me how to fix that?

I love the idea, however, this mod removes the advantage of civs that start with an additional wildcard slot, or converts a diffferent slot to a wildcard slot.
I suggest a paired combination of the first three instead, as a separate mod?

Unsurprisingly incompatible with 6T Eras.
Hardened_Mass 29 Sep, 2022 @ 7:34pm 
Can this be used with the Golden Age compatible modlist?
CyborGnome 12 Feb, 2022 @ 12:47am 
Can this be used without gathering storm?

1st off. This is an excellent concept for early ancient civilizations. I found it strange that you were locked in at Chiefdom for so long with a limited choice of policy unlocks when they became available, yet you could unlock policies in areas that you couldn't even use without a specific leader type or until you researched early empire development.

With that said, I would love to add on an expand upon this.

Nomadic culture - 2 Wildcards (allows some flex to push civilizations early on)

The next tier you have put in place should give 3 slots instead of 2 since the following tier gives you 4 so it only makes sense. Rather than to jump dramatically from 2 policies to 4.

Chiefdom - 1 Military, 1 Economic, 1 Wildcard
Horde - 2 Military, 1 Economic (Hordes weren't mindless an usually required great logistics to manage)
Polis - 2 Economic, 1 Wildcard (since they were a sort of pre-classic steps to early Empire formation)

@CrimsonCheshire If you want, this can be easy manipulated in the ini file. I've actually done it myself because your comment inspired me to.

I know some of this is probably gameplay balance, but I don't think "Horde" is really an accurate starting government for China, Japan, or the Aztecs. Unless you have a really weird definition of "Horde."

The Aztecs in particular should really be under Polis. They were a collection of city states before unifying into the empire. They even called it the Triple Alliance, after the three founding member cities. Tenochtitlan was kind of above the others, but that's not any different to Athens controlling the Delian League over in Greece.

China and Japan are a little harder to put in one of those categories, but I think Chiefdom would be more accurate than Horde.
