Changing Policies

[JalkenVeech]

Hi, absolutely love your mod, thanks for your work on it. Just was wondering if there was a way to change adopted policies? Not sure if I've somehow locked it out myself, or havn't triggered a policy change event but I haven't been able to in a couple of games?

No worries if it's not a feature, I understand the buildings section is a bit tricky to work with.

You should be able to sell the buildings and then purchase new ones.

I also figured out a way around the Uniques to match the Civ IV policies: https://github.com/yairm210/Civ-IV/blob/master/jsons/Policies.json

Policies.json

      {
          "name": "Despotism",
          "uniques": [
		"Unavailable <after adopting [Hereditary Rule]> <hidden from users>",
		"Unavailable <after adopting [Police State]> <hidden from users>",
		"Unavailable <after adopting [Universal Suffrage]> <hidden from users>",
		"Unavailable <after adopting [Representation]> <hidden from users>"
          ],
	"civilopediaText": [
		{
			"text": "Trigger Revolution to select a new Civic",
			"link": "Wonders/Revolution"
		}
	],
	"row": 1,
          "column": 1
      },
      {
          "name": "Hereditary Rule",
          "uniques": [
		"Unavailable <after adopting [Despotism]> <hidden from users>",
		"Unavailable <after adopting [Police State]> <hidden from users>",
		"Unavailable <after adopting [Universal Suffrage]> <hidden from users>",
		"Unavailable <after adopting [Representation]> <hidden from users>"
          ],
	"civilopediaText": [
		{
			"text": "Trigger Revolution to select a new Civic",
			"link": "Wonders/Revolution"
		}
	],
	"row": 1,
          "column": 3
      },

"Revolution" is a building that is constructed in the capital which removes all Policies...

Buildings.json

	{
		"name": "Revolution",
		"cost": 90,
		"maintenance": 0,
		"isNationalWonder": true,
		"happiness": -20,
		"requiredTech": "Code of Laws", // While not part of the Civ 4 ruleset, this seems appropriate.
		"uniques": [
			"Comment [Allows selecting new Policies/Civics]",
			"[-20 Happiness] [in your cities] <for [2] turns>",
			"[+20 Happiness] [in your cities] <for [2] turns> <for [Spiritual] Civilizations>", // No Anarchy for Spiritual Civs
			"Remove [Revolution] [in this city] <hidden from users>",
			"Only available <in [in capital] cities>",
			"Unavailable <for [AI player] Civilizations> <hidden from users>", // Only available to humans for now
			"Cannot be hurried <hidden from users>",
			"Cannot be purchased <hidden from users>",
			"Free Social Policy <hidden from users>",
			"Remove [Despotism] <hidden from users>",
			"Remove [Hereditary Rule] <hidden from users>",
                        // ...
		],
		"civilopediaText": [
          	{
				"text": "In order to select new Civic Policies, you must trigger a Revolution in your nation's capital. Once built, you'll be able to select the new Civics."
			}
      	]
	},

Unadopting policies is indeed possible nowadays. Thanks for reminding me of that, I may indeed be able to do somthing with it.

No, there are over 100 different policy cards, shoving that into the policy overview will be too much clutter. There must be a way tho hide the unavailable policies.
