Find all replaceable uniques, generate replacement text, check for compatibility, and replace! (#6105)
* Find all replaceable uniques, generate replacement text, check for compatibility, and replace!

All of the work up until now has lead up to this point - since we already know what's out and what to replace it with, we can do 90%+ of the work ourselves and spare the sanity of our modders

For an example run:
- Download your favorite mod
- Check its deprecated uniques in the options menu
- Run the autoupdater from the same menu
- See how they disappear
- Bask in the glory

* A few unreplaced uniques raised problems in some of the replacement texts

* Old unusable deprecated uniques are suddenly important again, because they can help autoupdate mods!

I'm wondering if to remove outdated mods entirely from the uniques.md, since they're going to keep accumulating

* Padding for the 'autoupdate' button

* Only display autoupdate button if there are unique to update
Also, fixed some of the revived deprecated unique's replacement text thanks to fancy new tests :)
Tech uniques autoupdate!

* Toast now pops correctly, added translation entries

Unciv - FOSS Civ V for Android+Desktop

Google Play F-Droid itch.io Flathub

Build and deploy Discord Chat

What is this?

An open-source, mod-friendly Android+Desktop remake of Civ V, made with LibGDX

Is this any good?

Depends what you're looking for. If you're in the market for high-res graphics, amazing soundtracks, animations etc, I highly recommend Firaxis's Civ-V-like game, "Civilization V".

If you want a small, fast, moddable, FOSS, in-depth 4X that can still run on a potato, you've come to the right place :)

What's the roadmap?

Is this order:

  • Polish! As you may have noticed, Unciv is fully functional but rough around the edges. This means:
    • UI+UX improvements (suggestions welcome!)
    • Better automation, AI etc. in-game
  • Finishing off Vanilla mechanics - Time Victory, Air sweep action - mostly done!
  • G&K mechanics - espionage, the Maya's, etc.
  • BNW mechanics - trade routes, world congress, etc.

FAQ

Will you implement {feature}?

If it's in the original Civ V, then yes!

There's a lot left to implement, so it's hard to give an estimation of when exactly each feature will be added, but we're constantly improving!

If not, then the feature won't be added until we've finished all the features from the original Civ - as mentioned, this will take a while!

Why not? This is its own game, why not add features that weren't in Civ V?

Having a clear vision is important for actually getting things done.

Anyone can make a suggestion. Not all are good, viable, or simple. Not many can actually implement stuff.

As an open source project, this stuff is done in our spare time, of which there isn't much.

We need a clear-cut criteria to decide what to work on and what not to work on.

Will you implement Civ VI?

Considering how long it took to get this far, no.

Is there a desktop version?

Yes! Windows and Linux versions are available at itch.io, and if you're using the Itch app, your game will stay up-to-date - and we release pretty frequently so that's an issue ;)

UnCiv can also be installed on macOS, a guide on how to do that can be found here.

If you have Java 8, and are familiar with the command line, there are (considerably smaller) JARs in Releases which you can run with java -jar Unciv.jar. For Mac users, you'll need to add extra parameters, java -XstartOnFirstThread -Djava.awt.headless=true -jar Unciv.jar.

If you use Flatpaks, there's a Flatpak by MayeulC and you can know more about it here. Flathub link is available in the Downloads section.

If you want to build it from scratch for some reason, we have instructions for that as well

How about IOS?

I'm not planning on it.

It means paying money to Apple, yet another release path, and since I don't have an IOS device it means I can't test it properly.

How can I learn to play? Where's the wiki?

All the tutorial information is available in-game at menu > civilopedia > tutorials

All the information is included in the amazing Civ V wiki

Since this is a Civ V clone, you can search Google for how to play Civ V and there are loads of answers =)

Alternatively, you could join us on Discord and ask there =D

This is a subject that I've heard a lot of hearsay on but no solid sources of law.

From what I gather, it is illegal:

  • To use the Civilization name
  • To impersonate the Civ games (so calling yourself civi|zation with a similar logo, for instance)
  • To use any assets from the original game (images, sound etc) - they belong to Firaxis

From what I understand, intellectual property rights apply to names, characters and settings. They do not apply to mechanics - as I'm sure you know, there are a billion Flappy Bird knockoffs

If anyone has any real legal sources, or can shed some light on the limits of what is and is not allowed, I'd be happy to hear!

Disclosure

Multiplayer takes advantage of Dropbox, which is non-free software, for syncing purposes.

Single player does not use this feature.
