Optics.

been using this mod so long i forgot what the stock version lets you embark at

Is this updated?

nice mod

Optics is dead to me.

Oh god, finallY!!!!!!!!!!!! I MUST use this MOD!!!!!! Thank you dude!

Oops! Nevermind! I spoke too soon. I actually think I just figured out how to do it. Just one last quick question: would you ever mind creating some spare mods in return for a bounty, of sorts? I have some good ideas for mods that I would like to utilize, in game. Please let me know what you think!

Hey, Ben! I'm not really a programming wiz, ha ha... Could you by chance accept my Steam friend request? I'd like to ask you for assistance in setting up an SQL file. Thanks for responding, by the way!

@Thomas: You could effectively achieve that by putting embarking as a part of the agriculture tech which every civ starts the game with. It would pretty much involve creating an SQL file with this text:

UPDATE Technologies SET AllowsEmbarking = 0;
UPDATE Technologies SET AllowsEmbarking = 1 WHERE Type = 'TECH_AGRICULTURE';

Re Polynesia, not my area of expertise I'm afraid, haha.

I'd wager it's compatible with all versions of Civ 5. I'm using it in BNW and having no issues.

Is this compatible with BNW?

Hey, dude! Would you by chance be willing to create a modification that allows all Civilizations to immediately be able to embark across coastal and ocean tiles, upon starting the game (same concept as: "Wayfinding" -- the unique ability for the Polynesians)? Also, if possible; change the unique ability of the Polynesians to something balanced so they are nerfed? Please let me know what you think, I'd greatly appreciate and would definitely utilize a mod like that. Thanks in advance!

Thanks, extremely useful idea :D
