Is there a lurker out there that can confirm this? I just looked in the mod thread and don't see any mention of this.

Test it in a single player game with the version of the mod that we'll be using. That will confirm for sure. I'll do that when I get home, but that'll be 2 hours.
I tested in a SP game and can confirm that monument does NOT give an extra happy to Charismatic in the mod.

Just wanted to clarify to make sure that you played Egypt and it was the Obelisk you built? And not just a regular Monument on another civ? If that's the case, the mod completely nullifies the Egypt UB....and I can't understand why they would have programmed it like that. I would think they would replace the UB or give it a different benefit if they didn't want it go give the Charismatic leader a +1 Happy. Anyway, I'm headed off to bed. Guess I'll have to make my pick tomorrow if Egypt would be a broken civ to use with a Charismatic leader.
I did not play Egypt in my first test. I restested with Egypt, and I can again confirm that Obelisk does NOT grant and additional happy for Charismatic leader. The Obelisk special ability is to open up two Priest slots.

The Obelisk never gave additional happy. Not sure how you picked up that it would, unless you thought Charismatic went form +1 happy base/+1 happy from Monument > +2 happy base/+1 happy from monument? At no point has any version of the RtR mod done the latter. CHM went straight from +1 happy/+1 happy from Monument > +2 happy.
I was basing it on this wiki entry: http://civilization.wikia.com/wiki/Obelisk_(Civ4)
I guess the entry is wrong then. In either case, the War Chariots should be a good thing to try for (and hopefully we can find horses) and the Priests from the Obelisks can certainly be useful. So I still think I'll pick Egypt. Also, since 2metra has made his pick now, I don't feel like holding things up any longer with me trying to decide. Especially when I really don't have a whole lot of preferences. I'll post that pick in a few hours after I get to the office, unless you have any other striking thoughts Cornflakes...
The entry is correct for base BtS, but as Krill explained that was changed in the mod to just grant the +1 happy automatically. I would advise against going into a game planning on an early rush, but even without rushing WC will have a deterrent effect on our neighbors. Go ahead and pick Egypt.

Oh, I misunderstood Krills statement. When he said the Obelisk never get the +1 Happy, I thought he meant even in base BtS. Didn't know it was changed for the mod, since when I looked at the first post of the mod thread to see the changes put in place for the mod, I didn't see this one listed. |
