Castles - Better Forts

Description
Forts and other Military Improvements provide yields to their tiles (mostly production) as well as Housing. This makes them a more viable alternative especially on hills.

Does not require Gathering Storm, but if you have it, the changes extend to the Pā.

Full Feature list:
  • Forts unlock at Castles instead of Siege Tactics.
  • Great Wall can be placed on Forest, Jungle, and Floodplains.
  • +1 Production to Fort and Roman Fort.
  • +1 Food to Pā.
  • +2 Production to Airstrip.
  • +1 Production to Missile Silo.
  • +1 Culture to Fort, Roman Fort, Alcazar, and Pā if you have a military land unit stationed on the tile.
  • +1 Production to Fort, Roman Fort, Alcazar, and Pā if you have a support unit stationed on the tile.
  • +0.5 Housing to Fort, +1 Housing to Roman Fort, Chateau, Alcazar, and Pā.
  • Chateaus provide defensive bonuses equal to half the bonuses of a Fort: +2 Combat Strength and automatic 1 turn of fortification.
  • Alcazar reworked: Base yield changed to +1 Culture, +1 Science, and +1 Food. Provides +1 Amenity if a Governor is in the city. Instead of Science the Alcazar now provides 25% of the tile's Appeal as Culture and +1 Appeal to adjacent tiles. Only one Alcazar per city.

The mod does not add culture bombs or anything similar to Forts and neither does it change the combat bonus. There are already several good mods doing this and they are compatible with this mod, so use them together if you'd like to have those features.

The issue where unimproved tiles with corresponding units generate Production or Culture is caused by a conflict with Sukritact's al-Andalus.
In fact, it seems to occur because that mod deletes the Alcázar, so the same issue may also occur with other mods.

There are two possible solutions:
a) Set this mod's LoadOrder to a value greater than 101. (Not tested—might have side effects.)
b) Comment out the last line of Suk_Al_Andalus_CityState.sql in the affected mod. This is probably the safer option.

@batsy; did you come to any conclusions about the conflict / tile yields?

This mod seems to be adding the bonuses from garrisoned units (culture and production from military and support units respectively) to unimproved tiles and city centers. I'm going to try some testing with my other mods to see if a conflict is causing the check for forts to give a false positive, but the yields themselves are definitely coming from this mod.

How does this mod interact with Strategic Forts? It unlocks Forts at Early Empire, this at Castles, is it just matter oh which mod runs last?

So does this mod makes roman castrum available with Castles tech too? Because I somehow can't build it in calssical era. Using Castrum mod from JNR

Wish there was a Lite Version of this mod, without the Rework to Alcazar's and without the Stationed Unit yields. Plus, if there was a way Vampire Castles wouldn't override the Woods or Jungle tiles when it is constructed, so that they would still give out a Appeal Modifiers to those same adj tiles. Plus PLUS (lol), the same defensive bonuses you gave to the Chateaus to INCLUDE for Armagh's Monasteries and Spain's Missions (for the same themed reasons.)

Don't know if this is still being updated, but the text for the Granada suzerain bonus does not reflect the changes made by this mod. I'm not sure if it is conflicting with another mod (I have civilizations expanded)

I just checked my latest game; Yields are showing and Housing provided by forts, and production from Airstrip and Missile Silo.
Caveat: Not playing a game now that would give me any of the extra features or have Alcazar in the game to test.

I suggest if you think it's bugged/out of date, you should provide proof of this, and how to reproduce the faults. Then others can test, and see what you see.
JNR is a very active modder-author and I find it strange that the mod should be "forgotten".

It depends, mostly the terrain yields do not show or the civ specialty fort does not happen to have the additional bonus. Again, no update since 2019, and there have been several game updates. some of these have affected forts and tile yields so this mod needs updating.

What doesn't work? Some of the features of the mod? All the features?
The game updates can be ineffective on a mod, just fine.
