This is summod, a dominions 4 overhaul mod. For discussion: http://z7.invisionfree.com/Dom3mods/index.php?showtopic=2764

What is the purpose of this mod?
The mod's purpose is a general "gameplay improvement mod." This primarily involves increasing gameplay variety. While balance is involved, it is not the only consideration. The changes to the generic section are conservative, but certain nations with significant underlying flaws, such as LA Pythium, are comprehensively rebuilt.

Growth/Death: Income 3%->2% per scale

Ohlmann: both excellent in short term gold, and excellent in long term gold. Production is a bit weak, because it doesn't give much money and resources become weaker quite fast. I also think that sloth 3 is not punitive enough.

Maerlande: I think growth is too obvious if you want money. If I remember correctly, Calahan used +2% for growth and gave production the other percent in his version of CBM for serious competition. I think that makes quite a difference to put a bit more decision between these two. Right now, I find growth is almost always a better choice.

sum1won: I'm including this discussion since I expect this is the biggest change in the mod. I'd also note that I modeled income and total gold from growth and order, and the comparison suggests that growth is significantly better over the long term, and nearly as good over the short term. The largest difference in gold is around turn 8-15 (varies depending on how aggressive expansion is) and never really rises above ~5% of income/total gold. Largest difference I saw was a few hundred gold.

Folds in LA Pythium overhaul mod. Troops slightly improved, but the main thing is a mechanic that lets you switch between active cults, with different bonuses provided for any of the three possible choices. This functions by prophetizing an appropriate member of that cult. If no cult is active but you can't prophetize, this can be accomplished by ordering that cult leader to sitesearch in the capital instead. All cults have their divine authority increased when endorsed. This might give them priest levels, remove heretic, and/or decrease a research malus.
