Phoenicia Tweak
Updates to existing mods aside, I also wanted to introduce a brand new civilization into the Civilization Tweaked Collection; Phoenicia and its leader Dido! To be completely honest, this civ always felt very meh to me. They didn’t really have any abilities that wowed me, and the neat idea of being able to willing move their capital unfortunately doesn’t add up to much (excluding some cheese using the colonial taxes policy card and the Casa de Contratación). The following changes are my attempt at trying to make Phoenicia a bit more interesting/fun to play as. I hope you all enjoy them!
Changes
- Founder of Cathage has received some substantial changes. While the ability to move your capital through the special project remains, you no longer gain added trade route capacity for building the government plaza and its building (the production bonus to districts in the city with the government plaza has also been removed). Instead, it now provides a +10% production bonus to each of your cities founded on the coast. In addition to that, Mediterranean Colonies’ settler ability has been moved to this one.
- Mediterranean Colonies has been almost completely reworked. The loyalty bonus related to costal cities on the same continent as your capital remains, but now there are new bonuses to go along with it. The first is that Fishing boats now provide +1 additional housing, +2 Science when adjacent to a campus, and +2 Culture when adjacent to a Cothon. In addition to that, your outgoing trade routes grant +1 Gold to Phoenicia for each Fishing Boat at the destination.
