I lowered the maintenace of the monument from 8 to 4.

I have been playing with the reform and rule mod recently, which completely changes what the social policies do. With that mod, my legalism actually does something totally different, so that was not something that I was realy thinking about. In that case, it would be my opinion that this could be lowered to something along the lines of -6, especially if you were playing wide, as would be complemented by the powerful and mobile unique units. Good on you for really comunicating with people, though. You seem to be taking the criticism really well.

Thats why im not subscribing actually, the maitnence on that.

@corruption,

I didn't think about that. The -8 gold makes sense now. I would keep it.

The building needed a penalty for it's +4 culture, +4 faith which allows you to get social policies and a religion out relatively early so I gave it -8 gold. I didn't think it was that serious of a penalty because of the Legalism Social Policy on the tradition tree.

So there is a way to lower the 8 maintenance on your monument to 0, by using the social policy Legalism.
First build your monument. (for quick culture and faith).
Just before you unlock the Legalism Social Policy, sell your monument, then unlock the Legalism Social Policy.
And boom you have +4 faith, +4 culture for free on your first 4 cities.

If more people complain about the monument however, I will lower the maintenance cost.

I agree. -8 gold is harsh, especially because the monument is such an essential building for the early game.

-8 golds seems a little harsh, especially if it replaces the monument. That means that from the very start of the game, you are in debt. If it scaled with the era, so that it was, say, -2 at the begginging, then worked its way up as the game progressed. That would seem more balanced to me.

I would have prefered a straight KH mod tbh.

I love Kingdom hearts, so I just downloaded this. Let ya know what I think :)

Google Definition says:
"the power or right to express one's opinions without censorship, restraint, or legal penalty."

Technically I can delete comments, that would count as censorship/restraint. I've seen people before delete comments, and I have this feeling that some people tend to avoid speaking their mind because of censorship or to avoid aggressive backlash.

I felt it was necessary to post "Freedom of Speech baby!" because I kind of need criticism and information to improve.

Technically freedom of speech means the govenrment can't arrest you for what you say.
