Higher Yield Resource Buildings

Updated for Rhesus and Memnon DLC as of 2 January 2022.

Big shout out to ZedClampet for gifting the Rhesus and Memnon DLC - THANK YOU

I felt that the resource yields were rookie numbers so I bumped those numbers up.

This mod increases the yields from all resource buildings. The buff is applied to the buildings and is, therefore, available to the player and the AI. That said, the AI isn't really constrained by building income, so this is practically a player only buff.

Resource yields have generally doubled and (since the AI loves to sack) provide a reduced income even when most buildings are damaged. (Pretty certain they'd have had the slaves picking away at the mines in just about any condition). For thematic consistency, those buildings that require high influence won't provide any income when damaged.

The mod also quadruples the amount of gold, metal, idols, and minerals available in any settlements with such resources. I found the time it took to exhaust these resources was so short that I didn't even have time to fully upgrade the resource extracting buildings. And let's remember, fantasy or not, that Troy is only meant to span a relatively short period of time. Certainly not long enough to mine all the gold out of the ground with bronze pickaxes!

Also, because the AI will have you chasing them round the map as they happily sack city after city, I doubled the enemy campaign movement reduction yield of the watchtowers. Sick of chasing an army stack of 8 rampaging across your countryside? Watchtowers!

This mod is not compatible with any mods that changes the yields of the default buildings. This means it is not compatible with Radious nor, I'd assume, any overhaul mod.

N.B. Steam describes the link above as malicious, so you'd have to copy/paste the URL into your browser if you really want to look. It's just a Google Sheet. I am, most definitely, not a 1337 haxxor. But it's nice of them to suggest so.
