    Any artists available to make some icons?

    I have created two new Mesoamerican wonders but unfortunately I am not any good at photoshop. I was hoping someone would be kind enough to make some icons for me.

    Colonialist Legacies: Histories of the New World | Colonial + Pre-Colonial civs

    It may be too late to make suggestions but I have a few. Cosijoeza's garb is a little stylized and there are a few things you could do to make him more historically accurate. For example, the rulers of Zaachila wore a distinct have gold half red style of face paint (with a black and white...

    You're a programmer - does extensive beta testing and planning necessarily mean a program is without problems? Does the timing of when a problem is brought up invalidate the existence of said problem? And I've never encountered a Panda, does that mean they don't exist? Keyword: relics. As...

    Cultural Diversity

    I am not sure if I follow your logic here. The discussion is over whether or not the context in which JFD is using the term is offensive. I am suggesting he is using it in a derogatory manner and that is what we're working through. I also don't see how the conversation isn't worth continuing...

    Ah, that is what I figured. Well, for the sake of continuing the discussion with the open-minded, I'll post a reply for everyone else: And how precisely do you know that? Are you aware of say, my heritage? I also appreciate the fact that you've said no people have raised a concern over...

    So are you discussing this or not? I am not going to bother with a reply if you're just going to stomp off again.

    No, I don't. I actually indirectly addressed that by pointing out how I, as a member of the LGBT community, don't agree with the approach that is being taken towards the word queer. Every group of people has a diversity of opinion and reaction. Finding a person or persons who don't find a...

    Yes but that is the crucial difference between both situations. The LGBT community CHOSE to reclaim that term. Within their own culture, a shift took place and people committed their own time and energy to facilitating a change. It is one thing to internally agree to something and it is...

    Cultural Diversity

    Where? As far as I know academia has phased it out as a geographic and political term too - here is a Yale professor talking about precisely that. The only reason why it really persists in colloquial usage is because many people are unaware of its connotation while a select few make a silly...

    Oriental is consider offensive for the same reason negro is consider offensive - it harkens back to an understanding of a group of people that is rooted in colonialism. I find a lot of the responses on here curious - I don't necessarily have to understand why a certain behavior is offensive to...

    JFD's Rise to Power

    >Imperial Cult. Every other, non-applicable NA religion isn't really organised. :/ That seems more like an "everything else" category than a meaningful and fleshed out component. Just as applicable to Ancient Rome as it is to the Inca Empire.

    >Not from a strategic point of view, no, as you still gain the same advantage over the vast majority of civs. At the expense of a genuine UU though. I am not sure if that is worth the trade off. >Otherwise, you gain early access to the Temple of Artemis, and to techs which require Archery...

    Colonialist Legacies - the Community Expansion pack | Needs Feedback and Coding

    I don't get the thinking behind these wonders. It seems as though an expansion about colonialism should focus on, well, colonial era civilizations, conquered and conquerers. The Americas are sorely lacking precolumbian wonders, even though there are numerous good wonders that haven't been...

    JFD's Rise to Power

    How do you plan to incorporate the religions of Native Amerian cultures into this mod? A lot of the institutions don't exactly imply to the Americas.

    Doesn't the Mesoamerica bonus kind of ruin the Atlatlist? The whole value of the Atlatlist is that you don't need archery to produce it, right? Well if you get archery for free, doesn't that negate the strategic value of the Atlatlist? Speaking of Mesoamerica, I've played the Aztecs and Maya...

    Making a mod for my personal use, can't figure out whats wrong

    New to this modding thing and I've attempted to make a mod that will blend the UUs and UBs of the Maya and Aztecs, as well as add a few new ones in. For some reason the two new building I am trying to add in don't work and I can't figure out why. I was hoping a more experienced modder would...

    Then why is it that when I uninstalled the EUI, the save as well as other saves with the issue began to work? Oh well, I will just play without it.
