v0.3.4
f5c5b86

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 0.3.3

Based on Vox Populi 5.4.8.

Fixes

  • The game no longer crashes when an AI unit captures a city and liberates or razes it, for example when it frees a city-state.
  • The game no longer crashes when it picks the defender of a stack that still holds a unit at 0 hit points waiting to be removed.

Stacking rules, the stacking AI and the interface are otherwise unchanged from 0.3.3.

What is in the package

Civ5StackMod-0.3.4.zip is a complete, modified copy of Vox Populi (EUI version). It is based on Vox Populi 5.4.8, built from commit f5c5b86e0. 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-0.3.4.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 an earlier version, 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-0.3.4-symbols.zip holds the PDB for debugging crash dumps; players do not need it.
