Introduction:

The goal of Extended Naval Combat (ENC) is to create a longer, more interesting, and historicaly accurate game experience with the addition of new technologies, military units and tweaks to existing units, technologies, steath and pollution to keep it overall balanced. I tried to make this mod as compatible as possible with other mods by putting most new units and bonuses spread over the new Technologies, and minimal changes to cultures, districts and civics. The new Technologies help to make the late game last significantly longer, especially the late Industrial and early Contemporary era (WW1/WW2) period which is almost non exist in Vanilla. One of the main motivations of this mod was to improve the sence of historical accuracy. Due to the lack of intermediate units you often experience battle that would never happen durring real history. For example, in vanilla Knights aren't upgraded until Industrial Era, resulting in many comical battles between knight and musket infanty. Although a game will always remain an abstraction of the true complexity of history, with the introduction of more intermediate units, like the Lancers, it becomes significantly less likely and therefore improve overall historical feeling.

Combat:

Combat lies at the core of this mod. ENC does not only add more naval units, but also more land, and air units. Existing units are tweaked to achieve a longer more satisfying end game experience. in general Industrial and Contemporary units have been made stronger, giving them a more substantial edge over Early Modern units. Late combat has been been made more interesting with new rock scissor paper mechanics between the classes. For example, Submarines are more effective versus Battleship, Destroyers are more effective versus Submarines and Battleship are more effective versus Destroyers. Classes now progress through identifiable Pre WW1, WW1, WW2, Cold War and Post cold war era , making it feel more historically accurate. For optimal gameplay I recommend you also install Better Combat Damage Mod and configure it with Comparison Based (Vanilla Baseline), which will make elite and modern units more survivable and therefore more cost effective.

Nuclear Proliferation:

Nuclear weapons have become more useful with increased range and accesibility (with reduced minimum strategic resource requirements) and with the addition of a true ICBM (unlocked after researching Rocket Science and completing 2th Nuclear Test project) and MIRV (unlocked after researching Rocket Science and completing 3th Nuclear Test project). The finial Nuclear Test project, The ICBM weapon project, now requires the same amount of space as the 2th nuclear project. All of this will make it more likely, the most power nuclear weapons will be build and actually used by the AI with devastating effects. The state of Nuclear weapons proliferation is made more intuitive as the National Nuclear Weapon Test Programs strategic resource requirements are made the same as the missile weapons they unlock, meaning if someone manages to build a nuclear weapon test project they can also build and use them.

Terrain:

Movement have been made more tactical.

• Rocky Forest: +1 movement cost for cavalry/vehicals
• Rocky Field: +1 movement cost for cavalry/vehicals
• Deep Water: +1 movement cost for Galleys

Technology Tree:

In order to create a more historically accurate experience, it was necessary to add a lot more intermediate technologies and restructure the tech tree, mostly in the industrial and contemporary era. To minimize the detrimental effect of "skipping technologies", combat related technologies have been put on long technology paths. For example Firearms tech path starts at the end of the medieval (with Aqubusier), passes through the Early Modern Era, Industrial Era and ends in the Early Contemporary Era (with Commandos). Starting from the early modern age, the minimum research cost increases, with a sharp spike with the end game technologies. To compensate for the longer endgame, Era stars requirement has been increased for the Early Modern and Industrial Era. These changes and the introduction of many new technologies have the effect of creating a significantly longer end game. Although the turn limit is doubled from vanilla, even that might not be enough so I still recommended you disable the turn limit when creating a new game. Several additional endgame technologies have been added with fame bonus. To compensate for the added Fame, the Fame Bonus of other endgame technology have been reduced making the overall Fame bonus from technology the same.

Strategic Resources:

Strategic Resource acquisition is a major pain late game as there is often an shortage in vanilla, resulting in players unable to build many strategic resource hungry units. ENC solves this by making strategetic resource to be visible earlier, reducing the strategic resource requirement to a minimum and provide more option for alternatives. Instead of high strategic resources cost, elite units will have a variable cost which depends on the excess availability of strategic resources. As a result, units will be more accessible and will be easier to upgrade, but at increased construction cost or gold price (up to double or triple the base cost). Late game strategic resources like oil are introduced more gradual and when not available you can always fall back on older units. Coal plays a longer important role in naval combat as it will power naval units from frigate at the start of the industrial up to dreadnought at the end of the industrial age.

Resource Visibility Changes:

Hello,

Until now I couldn't make a full play with your mod (I only start tests game and look at it). Mostly because I need to playtest my own mod.

I plan to start a game with starting era Early Modern, so the last half of the game. With this mod and some others with.

I see you merged all your mods. For now, it's more easy for players, but also more easy for the modder, it's difficult to do the maintenance of too many mods.

About ICBM. 

I wanted to do a mod about this. But as you already have nice feature about that, I have just a suggestion.

And if you can do that in your mod, that would be great.

Last version of your mod, I saw you up the range of missiles. What was really needed in the game.

But what I would prefer, it's not a given. So, some projects/unlock/infrastructures only can up the range.

For example : ICBM test. This project is very difficult to do in-game. But it should provide what is made for.

Vanilla game give no reward for this (except Fame), when it should unlock long range nuclear missiles!

So my proposal is when the players have done the ICBM test, they get the most significant Range bonus for missiles.

I think it's the best way, but I've no idea if it's doable.

Good suggestion but if I'm not mistaken, the vanilla ICBM test already had the effect of increasing the range (with Veterency level), but it was insignificant (+1 or +2 range I believe). I still like the idea of extending the range of missiles after some effort, (I check and it could be achieved by applying a descriptor), but not sure if I should only be with the ICBM technology because for many players and AI it is very hard to find a suitable place to of territory to actually build the national ICBM test project. Instead, I could add it as an upgrade unlocked with Rocket Science or Communication Satellites technology, that will increase the effective range of nuclear/thermal nuclear missiles, giving them the same effective range as they do now for free. I do something similar right now with the Angled Flightdeck technology.  It also fits better with my design philosophy of synergy between technologies (in this case fission and rocket science) and simplicity as both players and AI can pull it of without much difficulty

Yes, no need to put all on ICBM test. See it as the cherry on the cake. Making you send ICBM nuclear missiles everywhere from home.

But otherwise, range could be increased step by step with many other means, tech, infra, etc.

Yes, I intend to do that. I think the Humankind developers original intended to have an ICBM unit, otherwise, why have a ICBM Test project?  ICBM should not only dramaticly increase range, but more importantly, destructiveness (range). The ICBM is technically a Thermal Nuclear intercontinal delivery system that has enough capacity to contain multiple  Warheads. The First Nuclear Rockets are technically Cruise missiles with a single nuclear payload, its capacity should be significanly lower that an ICBM which also uses MIRV to make it both more deadly and harder to intercept. The Nuclear Missile has a destruction range of 2 while the thermal nuclear is 4, but I think this should have been 3 and only the ICBM (which in the test requires  much more room) should have a destruction range of 4. To compensate, the Nuclear and ThemralNuclear could be made cheaper, with lower strategic resource cost, lower construction and maintenance cost, and no population cost, allowing you to create large nuclear standof stockpiles (the US has over 500). The ICBM units however, which are much bigger, require more maintance and security, justifing a population cost and high construction and  maintenance cost.

Introduction:

The goal of this mod is to create a longer, more interesting, and realistic end game experience with the addition of new technologies and military units and tweaks to existing unit strength, production, and pollution to keep it overall balanced. I tried to make this mod as compatible as possible with other mods by putting most new units and bonuses spread over the new Technologies, and no changes to any cultures, or civics. The new Technologies also help to make the Industrial and Contemporary Era last significantly longer, especially the late Industrial and early Contemporary era (WW1/WW2) period with 12 new technologies.

Nuclear Proliferation:

Nuclear weapons have become more useful (with increased range) and accessible (with reduced minimum strategic resource requirements) and with the addition of a true ICBM weapon (unlocked after researching Rocket Science and developing Thermal Nuclear Weapons) making it more likely they are built and actually used by the AI with devastating effects. The state of Nuclear weapons proliferation is made more intuitive as the National Nuclear Weapon Test Programs strategic resource requirements are made the same as the missile weapons they unlock, meaning if someone manages to build a nuclear weapon test project (including ICBM weapon test), they can also build and use them (given they also constructed a Missile Silo).

Science:

In order to create a more historically accurate experience, it was necessary to restructure the tech tree with separate branches starting at the end of the industrial era. Starting from the modern age the minimum research cost increases up to double the cost for the end game technologies. The final research cost depends inversely on the number of unlocked technologies, meaning the more technologies you have unlocked from a previous technology generation, the relatively easier it becomes to research additional technologies. This mechanic makes beelining technologies (skipping technologies) excessively expansive and the most economical way to unlock the entire tech tree is to always choose the cheapest unlockable technologies. These changes and the introduction of 21 new technologies have the effect of creating a significantly longer end game and it is therefore recommended you disable the turn limit when creating a new game.

• Replaced Anti Tank Warfare as a prerequisite of Continuous Track
• Replaced Air Transportation as a prerequisite for Aerial Warfare
• Replaced Guided Missiles as a prerequisite of Rocket Science
• Replaced Jet Engine as a prerequisite of Fighter Jets
• Replaced Naval Air Strategy as a prerequisite for Radar
• Made Continuous Track unlockable in Industrial Age

Tech-tree branch structure:

• Combustion =>
  • Automobile => Tank Warfare => Anti Tank Warfare => Continuously Tracked =>Mechanized Infantry Doctrine => Composite Armor => Reactive Armor
  • Aer0nautics => Air Transportation => Aerial Warfare => Jet Engine => Fighter Jets => Precision-guided munition => Stealth Technology
  • Anti Torpedoboat Warfare => Dreadnought Design =>
    • Naval Air Strategy => Radar => Computing => Guided Missiles => Rocket Science => Communication Satellites

• Medium Tank is unlocked later with Sloped Armor
• Commando is unlocked earlier with Insurrection Theory
• Missile Silo and Cruise Missile is unlocked earlier with Jet Engine
• Helicopter Gunship is unlocked later with Precision-guided munition
• Missile Destroyer (originally called Missile Cruiser) unlocked later with Guided Missiles
• Nuclear Submarine is unlocked with Fluid Dynamics and upgraded with Nuclear Reactor

Combat:

Both naval, land, and air units have been added and existing units are tweaked to achieve a longer more satisfying end game experience. The naval unit's role progressively gets more important as the era advances with longer attack and bombardment ranges. Combat has been been made more interesting with new rock scissor paper mechanics between the classes. For example, Submarines are more effective versus Battleship, Destroyers are more effective versus Submarines and Battleship are more effective versus Destroyers. Classes now progress through identifiable WW1, WW2, Cold War en Stealth era generation, making it feel more historically accurate. The early (WW1) units have reduced strategic resource requirements, making them more likely to appear in combat.

While maintaining a minimum strategic resource requirement, Unitcost is no longer fixed but depends on the excess availability of strategic resources. This means that units will be more accessible and will be easier to upgrade, but at increased construction cost or gold price (up to double the base cost).

hey but can you explain to me what are you doing ?? !! i see you are putting your mod here to make it known wow ok. But holy god do you want to update your holy mod please? after the bolivar update a hotfix came out and after that your mod started not being displayed in the mod menu of the game !!!! WE ARE ALL WAITING FOR YOU THAT YOU UPDATE YOUR MOD! thank you!

Hey there! I feel bad there is no feedback. Since my game has been crashing (mostly due to some outdated mod, I pray), I haven't been entirely able to pursue the late game techs yet.

However, there is one feedback I will give, which is the one most impacted me. I believe the ability to transport troops on coastal waters begins too soon, maybe leaving it 1 tech before vanilla? Not quite sure it's not like that already. Since I mostly play continents with huge landmasses, it is far too common to begin settling the new world as soon as the classical era starts, which is not at all bad, but quite odd, you see? That may be a problem on my particular world creation configs, but I do feel that transports are available a little bit too soon.

Other than that, when I could get to the industrial age before losing the save, having your variety of ships really made the experience a whole lot better, more ships, more fun. I still have to experience the contemporary era and see how it plays out.

The one time I managed to play and not crash by late game I've got one quite amazing battle where I had my whole 8 ship fleet of a few torpedos, a sub and 4 dreadnoughts (along some land units) managed to stave off dozens and dozens of enemy ships (outdated sail ships and many transports), it was quite a spectacular battle, I say. Thanks to your mod.

One last thing, I'm not entirely sure it is your mod or the games AI, but by the late game, other nations began building tons and tons of tanks (the soviets, I remember it was, because I lost most of my armies to their medium tanks lol), by the time I began training more AT, I lost my save, so never quite got to counter it.

Along VIP and super culture pack, your mod is on the top 3 best mods. The game truly lacks variety of units, especially at the later eras, and your mod seems to be the only one that adds more variety, along with a nice flavor twist to them. I would regard the lack of feedback as a sign that people take your mod for granted, that it is too good, quite necessary to enjoy some more bittersweet conflicts. If not most people, at least I consider it so.

Thanks for the feedback. Fishery might indeed a bit too soon for unlocking Naval Transport. I probably change it to Sailing instead, which would be better fit, and improve balance, I think

The AI building lots of Tanks might be a direct consequence of the fact that Tanks are much easier to be build (as the strategic resource required now is only 1 iron and 1 oil ) and preferring to build strong units. I will try to look into this more and figure out if its a real problem that needs to be fixed (by removing the strong flag).

But why do pikemen upgrade into artillery pieces (I would have expected them to become anti tank units probably).

That is indeed weird, the intended upgrade path is

Spearmen => Phalanx => Pikemen => Halberdiers => Field Gun => Breechloader Cannon => Anti Tank Gun => TOW Infantry => Anti Tank Guided Missile Team 

Are you running with any other mods?
