v0.2.1
40d4380

Vox Populi with limited unit stacking: several combat units per tile, stack defender selection, cavalry flanking, collateral damage from siege and bombardment, and an AI that plans and fights with stacks.

This is an early pre-release. Expect rough edges and start a new game with it.

The full changelog lists the changes in every release.

Changes since 0.2.0

Stack roster

  • Each unit in the stack roster now has a health bar: green at full health, through yellow, to red, with the exact hit points written on it. Movement and role follow it on the same line.

  • Hovering a tile with two or more visible units of another player opens a read-only roster of that stack, to the right of where your own roster sits, whether yours is open or not. Its title names the owner, in red when you are at war, and shows the stack's capacity. Units you cannot see are not listed. On a narrow screen it appears above your own roster instead.

Fixes

  • In observer mode and AI autoplay, old notifications keep expiring after a Lua error; before, one error stopped them expiring for the rest of the session.

The game DLL is built from the same source as 0.2.0; this release only changes the interface.

What is in the package

Civ5StackMod-0.2.1.zip is a complete, modified copy of Vox Populi (EUI version). It is based on Vox Populi 5.4.6 plus upstream changes up to d79cd781c, built from commit 40d438070. It replaces a normal Vox Populi installation; you cannot have both at once.

Requirements

  • Civilization V with Gods & Kings and Brave New World, on Windows.

  • The "43 Civs" variant and the no-EUI variant are not supported.

Install

  1. Download Civ5StackMod-0.2.1.zip and extract the whole zip to any folder.

  2. Close Civilization V.

  3. Double-click Install.cmd. If it cannot find the game, it asks you to choose the folder. If Civ V is installed under Program Files, right-click it and choose "Run as administrator".

  4. Start Civ V, open MODS, enable these four mods and click Next:

    • (1) Community Patch

    • (2) Vox Populi

    • (3a) VP - EUI Compatibility Files

    • (4a) Squads for VP

The installer moves any existing Vox Populi or EUI files to a StackMod-backup-... folder in your Civ V user data folder; nothing is deleted and saves are not touched. Install.cmd -DryRun shows what would be done without changing anything. README.txt in the zip has manual installation and uninstall steps.

To upgrade from 0.1.0 or 0.2.0, run Install.cmd from the new zip the same way.

Notes

  • All players in a multiplayer game need this exact package.

  • Rules and AI behaviour are configured in MODS\(1) Community Patch\Database Changes\StackingConfig.xml. The Docs folder in the zip describes how stacking plays and each setting.

  • Civ5StackMod-0.2.1-symbols.zip holds the PDB for debugging crash dumps; players do not need it.
