Mod: Double Your Pleasure Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

Welcome to Double Your Pleasure, aka DyP.

DyP is an attempt at adding more depth and choice to the great game of Civ3.

One of my main goals in developing this mod was to create a game that followed the development of human civilization more closely than the original Civ3.

What does this mean? I have deliberately made early expansion more difficult and slowed down city growth for the first half of the Ancient Age. We have added 95 new tech advances to help cultivate the sense of how great scientific achievements have marked the development of human civilization. These new techs allow for greater depth in the unit and improvement aspect of Civ3. To this end we have added 65 new units that flesh out the upgrade chains on all levels of military development. We have also added 50 new improvements, 35 new wonders, and 17 new small wonders.

All these new improvements and wonders create unparalleled choices for the player and mean that the old standard cookie cutter cities no longer apply. In DyP it becomes possible, and some say even essential, to create specialized cities that focus on one aspect of empires development, be that science, production or commerce, they all play a role and each one is developed further in DyP than in the original game.

But don’t just take my word for it. Here are some comments from other players just like you.

“Civ III came out late October of 2001 and my love for it consumed me from then until probably about March. Finally burned out, I let it go until recently when I heard about the Double Your Pleasure mod a few weeks back. Since then, I've been playing a hideous amount of Civ 3 again. This mod is absolutely tremendous. DYP revolutionized the tech tree with nearly 100 new technologies, over 60 new units, 50 new wonders and 45 new improvements. When I play it I can't help but wonder why the original Civ 3(which I love dearly, remember) wasn't this good. The mod adds new layers of strategy to the game and sets the standard in my opinion as to what Civ IV must beat. Definately worth taking for a spin.”

Gamespot called the mod “epic” in its otherwise unflattering review of Play the World.

“Excellent mod! It forces choices that simply aren't there in regular Civ.”

“Well, Kal-El's Double Your Pleasure mod is an absolute must. It really enriches the game drastically ”
Spiffor - Apolyton Member

“Calling Kal-El's work a mod is rather short.
What Kal-El did is what Civ3 shoud have been in the first place.
You might agree or disagree on some of the design decisions he made, but the structure is 99,99 % flawless.”

“Great job Kal-El !! You managed to combine Civ3 quality with Call to Power quantity !! A successful challenge as I could see. I have the feeling that I'm playing a new game.”

“... I've been gaming for a good many years now, but have only played DYP since v.47. I just wanted to say that since playing DYP, the thought of plain vanilla C3 is anathema to me. You've obviously put a great deal of work and love into this mod, but it is certainly worth it. Bravo!”

“Thank You DYP Team - S!
Haven't had this much fun with a Mod in years. You folks should be congragulated! I won't bore you with all the "you need to fix that, and this...", as from what I have read on the posts has already been said. I come only to praise Ceaser!!
Thanks DYP Team!”

“Woohoo great mod!!!
Let me start by repeating that this mod is fantastic. It is the civ3 equivalent of CelestialDawn's mod for Ctp - except even (a lot) better!! It is imho civ3 as it should have been from the start.”

“I would like to say thank you for rekindling my love for the civ series. Your mod has made the civ3 game what it should be (or close enough). I stopped playing this game because of the fact that a lot of the civ 2 stuff that i liked wasnt there. You guys added some extra cool stuff and i see brought back some civ 2 ideas.”

“DYP really made CivIII playable for me. Before that it was a huge disappointment. What a great addiction!”

“Gotta log a vote for Civ3 Double Your Pleasure. Mods aren't a huge deal in the 4x strategy genre, but that one took the original game where the developers should've gone.”
