Nere's Inland Flooding and Climate Change

Happy that Climate Change barely matters, and is only ever so slightly noticeable for a coastal city? Well this mod is not for you then!

With this mod Climate Change flooding can be devastating for your civilization and all other civilizations on the planet. Entire kingdoms can potentially flood and be submerged! Are you ready to face the challenge of Climate Change? Can you build a civilization that will stand the test of time, and floods?

Note: This mod does not affect Primordial map script unless the workaround in the change log is used.

This mod will allow all map scripts (that don't already modify this) to generate inland flooding! The following types of flooding has been added:

• Lakes can now flood if they are large enough. This might result in lakes merging with each other or even the ocean, to truly open up the map! In vanilla GS, tiles next to lakes where immune to flooding, even if it was flat marsh land, right next to the ocean.
  
• Rivers can now flood (permantly!) just like coasts. This includes floodplains which could never flood in vanilla GS.
  
  • A river running through a hill-y area will not flood.
    
  • A river with lots of floodplains will (obviously) flood, and probably sooner.
    
  • A river mouth will flood sooner then the rest of the river.
    
  • Very flat river valleys will flood even far away from the ocean.
• Marsh can flood under the right circumstances.
  
• Tiles around volcanos can flood under the right circumstances. This was not possible in Vanilla GS, even if it was flat and surrounded by ocean.
  
• Coasts will still flood, and will in most cases flood first.

Check out the screenshots to get an idea of the possibilities! The settler lense is activated to show the flooding indicator, which is the reason for the coloring of the tiles.

This mod also makes some supporting changes to Climate Change to make this happen, namely:

• Flood Barriers do not scale with the number of flooding tiles, since some cities will have MANY tiles that are floodable, but increases the base cost significantly.
  
• Adjusting the floodable tile percentage to better enable inland flooding.

Please leave any feedback in the comments section. I'm very interested in hearing what you think, and any suggestions / ideas!

And please rate if you like it ;-) It will help more people experience inland flooding!

• Suggestion from [SSC] Borealis: Make an "extreme" version with 2 tile flooding "range"
  
• Suggestion from Kurisu Shirayuki: Make a "hardcore" version which floods almost everything?

I can't test every mod, but I read all comments, and if you report something not working I will look into it and add it to this this. So far the following has been reported and tested as not compatible:

• None known! Primordial map script from Firaxis requires a workaround (see comments or changelog)

Better World Congress : https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2429588635 Improves the World Congress by reworking most Resolutions. Generally, if you pick the right side (A vs B) you will get some part of the effect, while the actually winner will get an even more powerful effect. Upping the stakes also helps to make WC feel more interesting and impactful.

Rebalanced Secret Societies : https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2406253078 rebalances the Secret Societies to reduce power creep, enhance flavor, making them more equal. Includes malus to give some hard choices and rework of Voidsingers to avoid AI issues!

No normal camps - bug fix : https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2412130013 fixes the bug in Barbarian Clans mode where barbarian camps turns into "normal" camps, and cant be interacted with, cant turn into city states and dont spawn units.

Better Barbarian Clans mode : https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2412920721 makes several changes to the Barbarian Clans mode. Mainly makes snow camp less likely, and make conversion to CS slower unless some major civ (such as you!) actively help them.

Seven Seas : https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1780010944 increases the amount of water on the Seven Seas map, to avoid each of the "seas" to simply be small lakes which only have 1-2 civs on it's shore.
