I've been wanting to make these mod's for some time but my main project, the Guerilla Tactics, has been taking up much of my time.

TOLKIEN THRU TIME

Tolkien Thru Time will allow you to go thru the complete Tech tree of Civ 3, modern age and all. There will only be 10 civs so I don't have to make up leaders and cities and stuff (ie, Southrons won't be a playable civ but Easterlings will because they actually have a UU). The civs will be Dwarves, Elves, Hobbits, Gondor, Dunedan, Orc, Goblins, Mordor, Umbar, and Easterlings.

Also, since all the UU's will be Ancient or Middle Age, they'll be bonuses in Industrial or Modern Age depending on what they would exceed at.
Orcs and Goblins will have a better Marine (Grunt).
Gondor and Mordor, will have Tank of Power (Panzer clone).
Umbar and Dunedan will have a better Battleship.
Elves and Easterlings will have a better Paratrooper.
Dwarves and Hobbits will have better Mech Infantry.

The Barbarians will be tribes of Trolls, Ents, Lossoth, Rohirrim and Southrons. They'll still have Warriors, Horseman, and Galley. I will add the horse to be a barbarian capturable scout and the squid will be added as an advanced sea barbarian.

I figured some people would like to have a Tolkien mod that allows nukage :lol:

MODDER'S MOD

The modders mod is just a fun project I thought of, and could be pretty cool with the XP multiplayer. I'll take modders from CivFanatics (if they'll let me use them), have their best unit as their UU (mine will be NVA Infantry) or their favorite from the original game if they don't make their own units.

As far as flavor units go, they'll be the regular flavor units we all use for every civ, but those who chose to have, say, Asia as their cultural group will have Asian flavor units, also. If they're a part of the Third Reich team, then they'll have the German flavor units.

It will have the majority of the units made so far and won't replace any files (you'll be able to use your own resource pcx and so on).

The modder himself might be the leader, and have a photo of themselves or just a pic of their choice for their leaderhead. Or, I might choose to have the leaders a real historical leader of the modders choice. I would like to have my own leaderhead, but I think ccm01's Napolean would fit too (I actually have the Napolean complex. :rolleyes: )

They'll have their choice of their cities (hometown will probably be the capital) and leaders (personal heros). Bonuses will be their choice but should be based on what kind of modder and player they are. ie, Dark Sheer should be Industrious and Commercial because of his hard work and CFC moderation, I should be Religious and Militaristic because I'm always on CFC and relentlessly trying to get info out of people (maybe even Expansionist instead of Militaristic but I only try to learn every aspect of modding because I want to conquer my mods), and Smoking Mirror should be Scientific and Industrious for obvious reasons.

I won't start publically working on this mod until the XP comes out, but let me know now if you want to participate and be added to the mod. Like I said, it's just for fun gameplay. I don't know, maybe I just want to beat up on pesoloco for being better then me ;)

Sounds good, Hobbits with tanks.
With the modders mod are you going to use all the units here? there are a lot.

I am making a Fire Fighter (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=25663) mod and I know what I can add, but what can I Remove? (anser there)

Oh hell no. The futuristic units won't be in it (but your walker can be your UU if you want). Not even all of my own units probably will be in it. But yes, the majority will be. I'll also change some game stats and stuff to make it even more interesting.

fire fighter mod... that's a hard question. and a hard mod to make... I'll see if I can sleep on it...

You're arrogance has caused you much trouble, but next time I will not be so forgiving.

So if I want to be a part of this, do I have to start making units? Cause I already got an idea for what my leaderhead would be.....:D

Of course not. If you don't make units, then you can chose your favorite from the original game. Or you can make the Mongol Mangudai from AoK. I've been waiting for somebody to make that.

BTW, I realize you probably already know this, but you spell Genghis wrong. ;)
