Civ of the Week guarantees three things that other custom civs usually don't have:
- Unique Diplomacy Music for the leaders
- Unique personalities for new leaders (i.e. leader personality isn't an exact copy of an old one!)
- Unique civilization (civs are almost always somewhat obscure but interesting cultures that have never been presented as civs before!)
What is Civ of the Week?
Spoiler:
Civ of the Week is a “project” aiming at bringing you a new, fresh, exotic, and most of all, random, civ every 1-2 weeks, from all corners of the globe, from the Vietnamese to the Mittanni to the Iraqis. Each civilization features full civilopedia text entires, 1-2 leaders with unique game and diplomatic attitudes (they're not simply a copy of another leader!), a UU, a UB, unique diplomacy music, and full graphics.
The purpose of Civ of the Week, then, is three-fold:
1. To bring you random civs that would probably not have been chosen as civilizations first of all, and to provide a new, more exotic, more interesting experience in choosing civilizations.
2. To promote more knowledge of lesser-known peoples, cultures, and histories.
3. Make more civs for the totally awesome Civ Gold mod.
Otherwise, then, enjoy!

[FONT="]Description: [/FONT][FONT="]The Khazars were a powerful nomadic group that dominated the steppes of Eastern Russia and the Crimea around 600 to 1000 AD. Almost certainly related to the Gokturks and probably the Huns therefore, the Khazars battled against but also engaged in trade and diplomacy with the other powerful nations of the time, including the Byzantines, Persians, Arabs, and Russians. Occupying a strategic location between Europe and Asia, the Khazars became rather prosperous and wealthy from trade and commerce.[/FONT]
[FONT="]Fairly civilized and developed for a nomadic group, the Khazars are most famous for having converted to the Jewish faith sometime around 700 or 800 AD. However, some questions do remain. How many Khazars actually converted? Was it only the nobility, or did the conversion pervade all parts of Khazar society? How many Khazars also converted to Islam and Christianity? Was the conversion done for political purposes? And so forth.[/FONT]
[FONT="]Regardless, although they were important players on the world stage for several centuries (for example, some Byzantine Emperors from the time even had a good amount of Khazar ancestry), by the 900s and 1000s, their power was waning, and the Russian princedoms such as that of Kiev, would take over where the Khazars once had hegemony. It is not certain what happened to the Khazars afterwards. A few scholars controversially claim that the Khazars became the ancestors of most if not all of the Jews in the Europe. So far there is not a lot of substantial evidence for this; probably, and most likely, the Khazars were simply assimilated into the local population of southern Russia.[/FONT][/FONT]
