Thanks a lot for the advice. Yes, I already know JS and am learning along the way for this as this is a personal interest in pursuit of a larger idea. But I want to use existing mechanics as far as possible, where the animals become Gaia / Food without owners. Once owned (capture building mechanic) or moved within borders, they behave the same as the animals from the Corral No issues here, will do this. I was thinking of using the existing game mechanics itself with some additional buttons only This mechanic was something I saw in Rise of Nations where all mountains are mine-able No, just like the existing treasure option or Unfinished Greek temple Ruins option where buildings become like this instead of razing to the ground I am willing to give it a go, no matter how much coding or effort it is, as long as it is possible. Sounds like an interesting challenge Environment modification was just a thought, not something immediate

Noob here and I have gone through the modding tutorials. I want to create a single or multiple mods with the following features. I would appreciate any advice from older modders to help me understand if the features are possible or not before I attempt it. Features are weird, but something that interest me. Make all killed enemies humans scavengable for food (yes cannibal style), weapons and/or metal. Horses can be stolen or become wild (Gaia). Infantry can become Cavalry from stolen horses by garrisoning both into a stable. All enemy structures which get destroyed drop the resources that can be recovered by citizen soldiers or female citizens All enemy structures destroyed do not disappear into the ground but remain as ruins in the same place which can then be mined for resources which were used to build them All mountains / cliffs yield stone or metal by building quarries at the site and yield at half the rate of metal and stone sites slow yield, and slowly disappear or turn green Trees can be grown in managed plantations (orchard option) to produce fruit and wood, similar to farms Animals can be tamed and used as military or food, both Gaia wild animals and domestic including wolves, lions and alligators. The Corral building option allows for building of gated sections to keep and multiply selected animals like boars, deer, elephants etc. Growing of orchards also provides food for animals Killed enemies can also be fed to Gaia predators to increase their numbers in the Corral if not eaten as food. Water bodies can be used to grow fish and provide water to farms / orchards Merchants who get killed in action have the goods turn into treasure that can be captured Also wondering if the environment can be made modifiable during the game. Why or why not? Open to working on this mod with others as well, if it clicks with someone
