Celebration Mode

Description
Celebration Mode
A ritualistic new dimension to civilization strategy



Overview
Originally posted by Mod Design Philosophy:
"Celebration is the self-hypnotism of civilization - it masks the hardships of existence with fleeting revelry, yet miraculously empowers mankind with the courage to keep the flame alive."

  • 🎉 Happiness System: Positive amenities generate Happiness, full-Loyalty cities contribute extra 5%
  • 🏛️ Era-Based Celebrations: Triggers multi-turn bonuses + mandatory Wildcard Policy Slot for current era
  • 🌟 Civilization Catalyst: 12 historically-inspired effects from Saturnalia to World Expo



Core Mechanics
  1. Happiness Generation

    • Each positive amenity → 1 Happiness • Full-Loyalty cities → 5% Loyalty converted • Example: 10 amenities + 100 Loyalty city (20 loyalty per turn) = 11 Happiness/turn

  2. Celebration Trigger

    • Selection popup at Happiness threshold • Lasts 10 turns (standard speed) • Guaranteed Wildcard Policy Slot

  3. Era-Locked Effects

    Ancient Era: Folksong of Harvest/Warsong of Beacon Medieval Era: Diagram of Mysteries/Gathering of Poems Industrial Era: Epic of Nation/March of Triumph



Featured Celebrations
  • Folksong of Harvest
    +25% Food output | Inspired by Roman Saturnalia

  • Warsong of Beacon
    +3 Combat Strength/+1 Movement | Carthaginian war rituals

  • Diagram of Mysteries
    +25% Science | Tang Dynasty Buddha's Birthday

  • Epic of Nation

Ritual Anchors of Civilization
  • Qin Shi Huang's Mount Tai ritual: Transformed harvest rites into imperial mandate
  • Carthaginian sacred fire: Battle rituals weakening fear of death
  • Tang Buddha's Birthday: Accidentally advanced movable-type printing
  • Industrial World Expo: Steam engine displays as imperial manifestos

I like this mod! But it has a few game breaking bugs (related to the fake policies mainly), and one bug in particular where it won't let you actually read everything and choose something before simply vanishing with the UI for selecting the celebration. The other problem is that I think the powers it gives you are simply too strong given the frequency that they happen.

Please keep working on this!

You can go into the mod folder and delete all localization files except for the "en" ones, that fixed it for me

is there a fix for the unreadable text in the advanced menu? Can someone at least post here what each option is supposed to say.

Hey, thanks for making this awesome mod.
Just wanted to inform you, that the text in the main menu is not readable.
Ingame it is fine and in english, but not in the menu.
