looking good civarmy. macabee was a good choice.

looks good. though I think you should make it also a modern Israel, since you used its flag, so perhaps instead of Solomon you should put Ben Gurion?

Ben Gurion? Curious. I would have said Golda Meir. :)

Another Isramod?! :crazyeye:
That's great! Proud to be Israeli! :king:
Thanks a lot! I'm gonna test it ASAP! :goodjob:

thanks for enjoying!!! :D

I've done the second leader, King Solomon, this is the 1st view:

EDITED: old preview deleted

BTW, what should his bonuses and favourite civic be?

Theocracy, maybe?
I'm not sure.

Holy... cow...
That picture is awesome.

Although I'm not liking the crown -- where did that design come from?

oooooohhhh sooooo many civs to add.... any chance of a single .zip with all your civs? (with xml files merged!)
if so, is it possible that you mark all the changes you've made in xml files so its easier to merge with other mods?
thx

Spiritual/Philosophical favored civic organized religion (he built the temple after all?)

Well, that shuts that argument down in a hurry:lol:

Hmmm, since Solomon built both the Temple and his magnificent palace, perhaps he should have industrious as one of his traits. Spiritual should probably be the other one, after all we are talking about a king of Israel.

new preview here: enjoy!

http://img522.imageshack.us/img522/4945/israel011ka.jpg

the new version is available to download on post number 01 :D
King Solomon added :)

I hope it's not too late, but Soloman should be Philosophical (Ecclesiastes, Proverbs) and Industrious. Soloman WASN'T particularly spiritual or religious. He built pagan temples for all his 700 wives and 300 concubines.

If I was making the mod (damn I wish I knew how to mod) I would have picked Soloman (Philo & Industrious) and Deborah (Spiritual & Creative). Has everyone forgotten Deborah -- the greatest Judge?

As for a Unique Unit, I don't know if it's moddable, but what about a unit that functions like the Civ II partisans. Or, alternatively, a UU that gains a bonus when attacking/defending within Hebrew territory only.

Maybe I'm missing something, but does'nt the swordman already have +10% city attack anyways?

I've got the mod working, except that the flag is white ... no Star of David ... any thoughts on why that is?

The macabee might want to have a hill bounus. I like that it's less powerfull then the Patorian. Damn Romans!:)

where do i save this file???

You unzip the file into the "Mods" sub-folder of the game. Then in the Starting Screen, you have to go to Advanced and "Load Mod."

Now... back to my question! Why is it that the flags are white? No color, no symbol. No nothin'.

Thanks. I am loving this mod.

I've got the mod working, except that the flag is white ... no Star of David ... any thoughts on why that is?

I have encountered this as well. With this and other Civ mods.

My only complaint with this mod so far is the use of the star of David. Since this is already the symbol for Judaism, I feel Israel should have a different symbol. Perhaps a Menorah?(That is the official Coat of Arms of Israel.) I think using a Star of David complicates the 'Israel Converts to Taoism' probabilities.

Ariks Israel mod use's the Isreali coat of arms as flag, the beauty of CIV 4 is that you easily can copy Ariks Israel flag to CivArmy's Israel mod.

But on the other hand, ain't that India flag based on a hindu symbol or a Mandala?

Kaiserguard, I tried that and it didn't work. I'm still getting a blank flag!

Unfortunally I wan't able to solve this flag problem untill now, all the flags work fine here, but not on all the other Civ4 :(
I don't know how to help u right now, sorry :cry:

Can someone please explain to me the difference betweent he swordman and the macabee?

As u can see on the previews, the flag works in my Civ4 game :) , but it doesn't work in other Civ4 games, that is your case :(

Macabee replaces swordsman and has 2 extra combat points. isn't it wrong on game? :confused:

I know this is a good mod but now that I got a new comp. I got a problem, sudenly it only accepts a mod when it is ''installed'', so not just any unziped file, I can load the mos then in the game, but nothing changes, so I can load a isreal mod, but there is no difference. Other mods such as a Dutch mod and a Carthaginian mod, which both have the option to be instaled, do work. Has anyone got an idea, how to fix my comp or to instal the unziped files? Or can anyone just make an installation procedure for all mods?

u just need move the folder "Israel" into "mod" folder of your Civ4, then start the game, "advanced", "load a mod" and load "Israel". if u r doing that and it doesn't work, I don't know what is happening :confused:

I did it as you said, but it wenn I have loaded the mod, it does says that the mod is loaded but it doesn't sees whats in the mod, if you understand what I mean. But wenn it is installed in one way or another it does sees whats in the mod.:confused: :confused:

CivArmy, are you Arik?

but I'm Arik!

Damn name thieves!


Awesome mod... I like the addition of Solomon...

But on the other hand, ain't that India flag based on a hindu symbol or a Mandala?

And just look at the English flag- don't tell me that's not based on a religion!:D

8 points with the normal 10% city attack makes it catagorically better than the Roman unique swordsman, the Praetorian. To make it different why not 7 with +20% City Strength, while defending or attacking cities they are stronger than Praetorians but are weaker otherwise. This also helps focus the Macabee on defense.

If you want a monumental shift in your favour, then put these two traits together in one leader. Think about building Wonders twice as fast, then compunding the points you get with Philosophical. Which gets you more great leaders (imagine Engineer) which you build more wonders with, which compunds more leaders (imagine Engineer) which keeps on keeping on.

Would be great fun to play, but slightly unbalanced if you care. Add your Praetorian dominating UU and you have a lopsided civ. You'd be at deity to find challenge in no time.

I think that may be the reason why these traits were kept separate upon release.

I love the idea though. The Leaderheads are phenomenal and the care has gone in to making it truely fleshed out. Excellent work.

Shalom.

:confused: Am I supposed to create a folder within the mods sub folder?

Do I unzip the downloaded file and place all of those files into one folder called Isreal? I was just placing all of the files right into the Mod Sub folder.

Can someone please clarify?

Thank you.

I have encountered this as well. With this and other Civ mods.

I am also having this problem with the mod. Though this is the first mod I've downloaded so can't say about others. Is there a fix to this problem as it seems to be a problem that I can try?

Just wanted to add that in the Civs description the buttons show the flag fine. It is only the blank white flag on the Units flag and the flag at the bottom of the screen menu. The Carthage mod shows up fine and I've been comparing files trying too see if I could discover what's causing it, but I think it's a bit over my head atm. Help would be great.

Edit : Using the dds editer and setting the alpha to black I was able to get the flag to load. The only problem is now it has a blue tint over it. Half way there, so any advice on getting rid of the tint would be awesome.

@Reagan1984: The folder "Israel" will be created when u unzip the file, this folder must be moved into "mod" folder of your Civ4 ;)

@alubkin: No, I'm not Arik :)

@generalshake: Shame on me didn't discovery how to fix the flag problem untill now :blush: , many people told me how fo tix it and I wasn't able to understant how to do that :lol: but I'll continue trying...

very nice, but why 2 kingsfrom the same age? i suggest you to take itzhak rabin, a true man of peace, got murdered, hes the best i can i think of insted of king solomon. you can find tons of pics of him in the net. tell me what you think.

Or start with the Guerilla promotion, maybe?

Nice work.

When will you get animation on the pic?

I downloaded the Israeli mod, but when I unzip it, nothing happens. Can someone please tell me hoe to get this mod into the game? Thanks.

put it into "/Civ4/mods" folder. start the game, go to "advanced" and "load a mod".

when someone create a plug in able to export artworks to NIF format file of the Civ4 models. I know there is a team working to do that but I don't know how they r right now :)

I unzipped the mod to the mod file and it did map an Israeli folder after you click on load a mod you get a note saying you must reload the game . When this is done I click on advanced -load a mod and the same notice comes up ,this keeps on doing this in an endless circle never loading the game. When I load the mods that come with the game you click on load a scenario and they load. I can not even do this with your mod. What is next?

I'm still thinking there should be a modern take on Israel or maybe a blend of leaders one from ancient times and one from modern. I'd really like to see Golda Meir as a leaderhead for Israel.

Great! But why are they white?

/\ no comment

Someone sbould reskin the new Peltast unit, It would make a good graphic fit for macabee? Have you thought about redoing leader trates and making it compadible with warlords?

I Am Waiting For Sevo To Get His New Version Updated In A Month Or So, Ive Tryed By My Self - But Only Seucceded In My 3uu Standalone - With Isreal.


And Think I Might Over Reacted In The Post Above, This Is Not The Place For Politics.

Keldath & Harrifer - stop the flaming & trolling. Posts deleted - warned.

Hey there. Im interested in your Leaderheads for use in my mod, with your permission of course! Are they animated??

thanks,

Sorry to nitpick, but why is King David a redhead? I don't know of many light-haired people living in either Palestine or adjacent regions.

Read the Bible. He has red hair.

Read the Bible. He has red hair.

because the bible is filled with so many truths [/sarcasm]

Actually, the bible had alot of people with red hair, Esal, (Jacob's brother) was one that I remember particually. The bible uses "Red Hair" to illistrate a persons "fire" i.e. pretentions for anger or someone who gets excited easily. If you read the hole story of David, ..... This description fits.

well, if you have another source, full of facts, not legends, then ok. :)
about your opinion, may be you are right. Who knows.
Actually, Uria, husband of woman which was stealed by king David, was red haired too.:)
ok, another palestinian man, I can recall, was Jesus. :) But don't know real color of hair. Anyway why he is blond in many pictures...

Read the Bible. He has red hair.

Can you please quote a verse describing him as a redhead? I know he is described as "ruddy" in the First Book of Samuel in King James' edition, but that probably refers to a reddish-brown complexion rather than a reddish hair color.

There is a description and details of word "ruddy" about king David.
http://www.keyway.ca/htm2002/20020929.htm

I readed bible in my native language (in russian), and there was description like "ginger".
It seems this is all about translations :)

i think i have the solution for this problem

replace the flag file with this one

:cool:

There seems to be another problem now, the mod doesn't seem to work with the update 1.61...
Any help?

Thanks!

This looks great but I wish it was animated... is there no way to do this with custom models in cIV? or is it just too hard? it may be possible to use your new model with the animations in the game, like one of the other leaders.. ?

EDIT : don't worry, read back through some earlier posts

First of all, sorry for the late reply.
This mod looks great, just fantastic.
but as an Israeli I have never heard of most of the cities that you named there, such as "Teman" ??? Teman in Hebrew means "Jemen" :|
May I please know if there is any fix mod or some thing? :)

Any chance to update this pack to work with warlords??? please!

just please let me know some city names if you disagree with any of the names...


I can't seem to extract the file... it keeps coming up with a crc error.. Please upload working version and I will mod it for you guys

What about correcting the Israel mod for the new updated patch?

For troyDoogle7.
Here you got, cities names:
Jerusalem
Tel Aviv
Haifa
Hebron
Herzliah
Hod Ha'sharon
Holon
Hedera
K'far Saba
Be'er Sheba (or Be'er Sheva)
Natanya
Ramat Gan
Shderot
Jafa (or Yafo Jafo - eventhough today it's Tel Aviv-Jafa)
Ashkelon
Ra'anana
Ramat Ha'sharon
Rishon Le'zion
Eilat
Petah Tikva
Lod
Tiberias
Dimona (where Israel's nuclear silo is)

Those are the modern names :)
hope it's enough.

I don't think you should look on Wikipedia.org because it shows some Arab cities as well, bah...

I don't like this mod at all wrong choice of leaders and unit. However, Civ Army guy makes the BEST leader heads. Firaxis should hire him lol.

O and the flags wrong.

icemanjsg

i fixed israel in visamod.
try it out :)

I like this mod very well...but when I did the update patch it messed up the mod. Is this mod not new patch compatable?

icemanjsg

i fixed israel in visamod.
try it out :)

I did try visamod i liked it however, i just want to play a mod that adds Israel to the game. The mod is good but it changes to much for me. v.good mod though thanks for the heads up

I'd say the starting techs ought to be Mysticism and Animal Husbandry (or Farming). I also think the leader choices shouldn't be father and son - seems a bit lame. Maybe replace David with Joshua, Joshua being Aggressive and Imperialistic (thinking in Warlords terms here) with a favorite civic of Nationhood. Or maybe we could go modern and use David Ben-Gurion (Defensive and Expansive?) and have his favorite civic be Representation or Universal Sufferage.

I also agree Solomon works better Philosophical instead of Spiritual, but also perhaps because I A) hate being Spiritual and B) Ramases II is Spi/Ind. And Theocracy? No. Organized Religion 100%. Pacifism if you want to compromise.

The Macabees could be extra hill fighting but the Celts took that. I say make them +15% City defense OR, and I've never mod'd so I don't know if this is feasible, +10% strength and they are made with +1 experience for every city you have ever lost (even if you regained it), +2 if that city was razed, so long as you originally created the city to begin with.

I'm hoping if people keep posting in the SOMEONE will fix this to include warlords....

What is that Visamod you were talking about?

and, please fix the names of the cities... it's kinda annoying to see names like Teman and Kadesh Barna or waht ever :rolleyes:

Thanks:)

one of the best mods!!! thank you very much!

mr. civ army, can u check your e-mail box please? :0

Amazing!!! thanks alot!!! its really awesome...
