I recently got this game as part of the Civ IV Complete package. It unfortunately came without documentation - not even a mention of it in the Quick Start Manual and no accompanying pdf file on the disk. So I tried playing a couple of games to get a feel for it. It was one of my favorites in its...

I came across the following list of Venetian fortresses and thought they might be of use to those playing medieval era mods: In the Ionian Islands: Corfù (Kerkyra) Santa Maura (Lefkadas) Cefalonia (Kephallonia) Asso (Assos) Zante (Zachintos) Cerigo (Kythera) In the Greek mainland...

I made this wonder for Rob's Anno Domini mod, for the Nabataean civ, which I've always found fascinating. I don't know if he has room for it in the mod given the limits imposed by the C3C editor but I felt inspired. It is the Great Temple of Petra. Given its place in Petran society and religion...

I took as the basis for this city the Trelleborg fortress I used for the Jomsviking Wonder. Assuming that most settlements founded by the Norsemen outside of Scandinavia during the Viking Age would have been war camps, I built on this theme by adding longhouses outside the walls for the size 2...

Here is a meadhall improvement for all your hersir and jarls out there. It is not so grand as Heorot in Beowulf or Meduseld in LOTR, but there wouldn't be too many of those. At least your huskarls have a place to keep warm and dry in their ring giver's hall. Preview: The Files:

Another heithinn Norse improvement. A horgr, or harrow, was nothing fancy. I based this one on a photograph of an ancient harrow. In my planned progression of HORGR (shrine) --> LONGHOUSE (temple) --> HOF (cathedral) this is the first. See my signature for the hof. The longhouse I am hoping...

This building is particularly dear to my heart, and I have always disliked the "evolutionary" process of moving from polytheism to monotheism. In that spirit, I would like to offer an alternative to the monotheistic cathedral in Civ. In my own game, the progression is from SHRINE --> TEMPLE and...

Here is an agora for Classical and Hellenistic cities. My own plan is to have several distinctly Greek improvements, each which build upon the other - agora, temple, gymnasium, etc. At first, I did not like the dappling in the pedia image, and then I decided it gave a little texture which could...

A funny thing happened on the way to the Moab Stele...I came across the Jomsvikings (that's Yomsvikings) again and remembered that I had old plans to turn out a wonder for them - so I have done so. In short, it is a Norse equivalent of the Knights Templar. As I have done elsewhere, I've made a...

This is an early improvement for Norse civilizations. I use it as an early city improvement available with writing. In my epic game it gives a city +2 culture and +1 happy citizen at a cost of 6, and makes it resistant to propaganda as well. This is the same function as the stela in the...

This is an alternate wonder for the Terracotta Army derived from RoN and with a new wondersplash. I've also included a wondersplash in Pounder's style, which I use in my own epic game. I realize I've mixed Qin and Tang dynasties here (and a few centuries of ihstory) but I use Tang Emperor Li Shi...

This is my replacement for Copernicus in ancient eras. I made it for my Hellenistic Kingdoms but am putting it out here for anyone who wants to make use of it. The wonder splash:

The great Alexander is dead in Babylon at the age of 32, King of Macedon and Lord of Asia by right of the spear. His friends asked, "To whom do you leave the kingdom?" His last words were, "To the strongest." Can you defeat your rivals and reunite Alexander's empire under your strong hand? Or...

This is the Hippodrome wonder I made for the mod I have in progress. I thought I would share it with you all. I am using it as a replacement for the Colosseum wonder for the Byzantines, with the same effects. The Rhomanoi were at least as crazy about their races (if not more so) than the Romans...

I worked these up for a Medieval Europe mod I am working on and I thought I would share them here. I am using the Byzantine Eagle to replace the philosophy icon Firaxis uses for the Byzantines in the Tech Chooser. The Paleologue looks particularly sharp on the tech tree. Just a little...
