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.

  • Industrial Age: 12 stars (was 7)

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:

  • Iron becomes visible in Ancient Era (instead in classical)

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.

Github: https://github.com/sswelm/extendednavalcombat


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.

  1. Ship of the Line; requires Chartered Companies, unlocks Man O' War
  2. Naval Steam Engine; requires Steam Engine, unlocks Steam Frigate and Steam Transport
  3. Railroad; requires Steam Engine, unlocks Train Station, Rail Freight Transportation and Industrial era Settlement package

  10. Anti Submarine Warfare; requires Submarine Warfare, unlocks Destroyer Unit and improves naval unit speed
  11. Air Transportation; requires Aeronautics, unlocks Aluminium strategic resource and Airport district
  12. Tank Warfare: requires Automobile, unlocks Light Tank
  13. Antitank Warfare; requires Tank Warfare, unlocks Antitank Gun unit and Armoured Recon
  14. Fire Control System; requires Air, unlocks Battleship, Anti Air Gun, and improves Air Defense Capability of Destroyer
  15. Fluid Dynamics; requires Anti Submarine Warfare, unlocks Diesel Submarine Unit and Nuclear Submarine
  16. Jet Engine; requires Aerial Warfare, unlocks Cruise Missile, Missile Silo and Attack Helicopter
  17. Guided Missiles; requires Computing, unlocks Missile Cruiser, Missile Destroyer, and Missile Submarine
  18. Mechanized Infantry Doctrine, requires Continuously Tracked. unlocks APC, All-Terrain PMV, and Self-propelled Howitzer
  19. Advanced Nuclear Reactors; requires Nuclear Fission, unlocks Nuclear Aircraft Carrier and Nuclear powered submarine upgrade
  20. Precision-guided munition; requires Jet Fighters, unlocks Helicopter Gunship
  21. Reactive Armor, requires Composite Armor, unlocks Reactive Armor Upgrade for Main Battle Tank
  22. Stealth Technology; requires precision-guided munition, unlocks Stealth Corvette, Stealth Missile Cruiser, Stealth Missile, and Stealth Fighter

Techtree changes:

  • Replaced Ship of the Line as a prerequisite to Steam Engine
  • Added Wireless Telegraphy as a prerequisite to Research Insitute
  • 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
      • Submarine Warfare => Anti Submarine Warfare => Fluid Dynamics
  • Line Formation=> Breachloader => Trench Warfare => Bunker C0nstruction => Amphibious Warefare => Insurrection Theory
  • Wireless Telegraphy => Research Insitute => Uranium Enrichment => Nuclear Fission => Advanced Nuclear Reactors => Fusion Reactor

Unit/District/Infrastructure Tech Unlocking Changes:

  • Transport Galley is unlocked earlier with Sailing (with an event)
  • U-Boat is unlocked later with Submarine Warfare (Germany gains 50% research bonus)
  • 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).

Pollution

Pollution in vanilla Humankind was a serious problem in late-game which needs to be corrected to keep the game playable and not prohibit the player strategic options with late-game military districts and infrastructure. Pollution will now mostly be unavoidable but its effects will be more gradual and less shocking and public order can be mitigated by giving your population fewer industrial and science occupations and more financial and agricultural occupations.

Global Warming:

  • Increased Global Warming Threshold by 44%
  • Public order effect depend on Net Global Pollution
  • Food reduction is affected by Net Global Pollution

Compatibility:

I general it is recommended to load this mod before any other humankind mods.

  • compatible with End Game Science Conversion, but should be loaded last
  • mostly compatible with Deep Sea Mod, but for the best experience, you should also load the DeepSea Compatibility Patch last
  • mostly compatible with Super Pack for Humankind Mod, but for the best experience, you should also load the Superpack Compatibility Patch last
  • mostly compatible with Official ENDLESS™ Mod, but for the best experience, you should also load the Techtree Patch for Extended Naval Combat last
  • not compatible with Nuclear Missiles Mod but it is already integrated
  • not compatible with Docktor Kain's Pollution Rework, but it is already integrated

It should be fixed now. I mainly trying to get some feedback as there is virtualy none. I only seem to get question when it somehow got broken by an update.

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).

Ey, thanks for the reply! Finally got to the later eras without  mod conflicts. Indeed, the AI on civ and humankind difficulties tend to create huge numbers of tanks and ships, saw a big number of fleets huddled together with a lot of aircraft carriers, sp its not just the tanks, but definitely the lower requirements of resources. Didnt really look much, but not sure i saw any marines and rifles. Still, very fun to see those hundreds of units around, though it really scares me.


Not sure you embedded the medieval sieges mod into yours, or added similar units. but using both together led to some duplicates, up until the siege artillery (ww1 cannons), but that is quite irrelevant, most likely because the other  mod is "outdated"

First off thanks a lot for creating this mod, so much great content I really enjoyed it! Adds a whole DLCs worth of content. As far as feedback I noticed for some reason upgrading from Reiters to Dragoons was costing around 36K per unit for some reason and also the attack helicopter wouldn't upgrade to helicopter gunship. Also certain units that have a unique unit equivalent such as the  Cuirassiers seem to be a bit too power making the unique units seem almost useless since they don't really provide an advantage. Again thanks a lot for this, I had a great time :)

can we get this working with the super cultures and the VIP modpack?   Used to work slick with triple compatibility, but no more.  :(

This mod definitely makes the endgame more fun with the tech slowing down and units not instantly becoming obsolete, thank you.



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?
