Civilization Request Thread

Maybe some Slavic civilization. So, I suggest Great Moravia.

Leader: Mojmir I or Svatopluk ( http://www.moravacizmoravy.estranky.cz/img/picture/30/mojmir-i..gif, http://www.2zskolin.cz/panovnici/01/Image47.gif )
UA: Great Wander ( Settlers have +2 to move, cities found near rivers have +1 to population, +1 food from forest tiltes ) or The Great Mat Zemlya ( farms, plantations and pastures give +2 food, also each source of wheat gives +1 to religion and culture ).
UU: Slavic Warrior http://januszdabrowski.prv.pl/Serwis/Polska do Xw/woj2.jpg ( doesn't need iron to be produce, faster move thought forest, starts with Drill promotion, replace swordsman ), Slavic Spearman http://januszdabrowski.prv.pl/Serwis/Polska do Xw/woj.jpg ( replace for bowman with composite bow or spearman, better move throught forest, starts with Barrage promotion, can fight at range or melee ).
UB: Slavic Castle ( Gród ) http://bialczynski.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/radusz-rys.jpg - Hex upgrade ( can be build after discover Pottery, +50% defence for units in the castle, also Slavic Castle was home for slavic people, so it gives +1 to production, +1 to food.
Meadery: replace for Granary, Slavic people was known for their delicious mead, so building give +2 to happiness and +2 to food.
Svetovid http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/04/Swiatowit3011.jpg/220px-Swiatowit3011.jpg ( Slavic Diety of war, fertility and abundance, replace for monument ): +1 to religion, +2 culture.
Emblem and Colour: Svarga http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...Psolarsymbol01.png/220px-RKPsolarsymbol01.png or Gromoviti http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f4/Thundermarks.svg/800px-Thundermarks.svg.png. colour: blue main colour, red or white borders.
Climate: Normal, mideastern Europe like climate, near forests.
Architecture: European with pagan-like music.
Capital: Welehrad, rest are mostly old cities from Czech, south Poland, Slovakia ( Ducové etc ).
Music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zYJPSgCYicE peace, war: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZE3culf12k.
Religion: ( historical ) Slavic Paganism, Catholicism with historical religions - Druidism.

I'd rather have Svatopluk as the leader of Great Moravia, but that's just me...

Better ?

Well, I'm not the one you need to convince, I don't mod (yet), I've only done research thus far, but yeah, I believe it's easier to make a leaderscene for Svatopluk at the very least.

Ok, thanks for advice . I tried to do on my own, but modding is too hard for me. I've got only information.

I'd like to see a Belgium civ. And I'm also surprised to see that there's no Maori civ yet.

Belgium may be coming soon, and there is a Maori civ by JFD! However, that's in need of updating, so there's a new one coming from More Civs soon. As well as a couple of others...

I find the oasis city of Palmyra fascinating. From a mere caravan stop it grew in power to the point of challenging Rome and even establishing a short-lived empire. Unfortunately for it, trade routes shifted and it sunk into oblivion. Would be interesting to see it as a One-City trading Civ. I'm not very knowledgable about trade route mechanics so I might get things wrong. Here's my take on Palmyra.

Palmyrene Empire

Leader: Zenobia
Capital: Palmyra
Start Bias: Oasis

Unique Ability: Queen of the Desert - May not build Settlers*. Free Garden and Caravansary in Cities built beside an Oasis. Foreign Land Routes passing through territory of Cities with a Caravansary must pass through the City and have their range increased by 15%**. You gain Gold equal to 25%** of the Route Owner's income. Great Merchants may be bought with Gold and their Spawn Rate increases by 25%***.

Unique Unit: Bedouin Rider (Replaces Horsemen) - No Defensive Penalty, +2 Movement and +25% Combat Strength in Desert. Heals every turn when on or adjacent to Land Routes.

Unique Improvement: Merchant Settlement - Built by Great Merchants on City-States. Building the Improvement grants some Influence over the City-State and consumes the GM. Allows purchase and rebasing of Trade Units in Cities with a Merchant Settlement.****

* Receives a Free Great Merchant from Collective Rule instead of a Settler.

** If the Route is going to pass through the City's territory anyway, it is diverted to pass directly through the city. If this would cost them their Range, it is compensated before applying the Range increase. The effect is applied each time they pass through a city you own but caps at 50% for both the range and income.

*** Cost increases for each Merchant Settlement currently existing.

**** Can buy and rebase units regardless of your relationship with the City-State. If the CS is puppeted/annexed by another Civ or goes to War against you, any Trade Unit based in that city (whether active or not) is rebased to the nearest city you control or CS with a Merchant Settlement. If there are no City than can accept the Unit (i.e. it's a Cargo Ship and all your Cities and Settlements are land-locked), then the Unit is sold at purchase price (discounts disregarded).

The Duchy of Carantania​

And now about the effects:

Unique Ability: Slavic Confederacy

Lowers the cost of Social Policies by 5% for every City State ally. (Maximum - 35%)​

Unique Unit - Veca


Replaces the Worker, provides + 2 and costs no maintenance when stationed within a city.

Unique Building - Prince's Stone​

May only be present in the capital and provides all the usual bonuses as the Palace it replaces additionally it removes 25% of the in the Capital, unlike the Palace it also has 2 slots for Great Works of Writing instead of 1 for a Great Work of Art.

How about a Finland civ? I have JFD's Norway and the official Sweden. Would be nice to have the complete Scandinavian set.

That's discriminatory towards Icelanders. Seriously though, I wonder how would an Icelandic civ look like?

Like this, I guess.

Leader: Snorri Sturluson
UA: Nordic Sagas (+2 tourism per great work of writing)
UU: Explorer (Fishing boat replacement, has extra sight and can cross into oceans)
UB: Althing (replaces amphitheater, grants happiness bonus)
Edit: checked Tpangolin's link, am surprised how close I was

I have toyed with another Byzantine civ idea, but from the later period under Alexius Komnenos (sp?). The idea is to capture the polyglot, mercenary army that Komnenan Byzantines had to use after 1071.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexios_I_Komnenos


UA - Ashes of Manzikert - Production cost for military units in increased by 50% (maybe 100%?) during the Medieval and Renaissance eras, gold costs unchanged. During these eras, Byzantines may build/purchase any UU available to other Civs in-game that are not at war. [basically the Byzantines can buy units but not really build them]

UU - Varangian Guard - Swordsman (Longswordsman, maybe) replacement that heals 25hp when killing enemy unit.

UB - Imperial Cistern - provides +2 food and +2 production, requires Wall in city.

Me and some friends have been thinking of an alternate America civ that focuses more on a domination victory. Here's what we came up with.

Leader: George W. Bush

UA: Blood for Oil. All your units gain a 50% power boost in combat when fighting within the borders of a city that has oil in it. The gold output of all your cities is increased by 25% when at war, but you also generate more unhappiness.

UB: Detention Camp. Replaces the Military Academy. +25 xp for all units. If at war with another civ, you receive intel on that civ's actions (like having a spy in one of their cities)

UU: Combat Drone. Replaces the Stealth Bomber. Deals more damage, has more range and is cheaper to produce than the Stealth Bomber.

hiya. Even though i don't know how to mod/program, I've been designing some anime civs for some time.
(*whispers* I've been fixing and fixing them so much now. and i havent tried them yet so they are all obviously theoretical.)

All of the them are based on different anime studios (except AIC, they're all for one voice actress), each having references to different shows.

Unfortunately, I dont have all the content/graphics ready yet so it will take some time. I hope to hear some questions or balancing comments then.

I have images for each Civ and will have notes below them ♪♪

PS. if they of their abilities are similar to any of your own Civ creations, please let me know.

KyoAni Empire


Joint Council of Stars (JCS)


Aperture Interstellar Conglomerate (AIC)


DEEN Directorate


Shaft


Seven-Arcs Corporation


Nomad Society


and the newest addition to the Saimoe empires:

Faction of Xebec


i hope the nice imagery works ^^

Iceland

Leader: Vigdís Finnbogadóttir
Capital: Reykjavik
UA: The Althing: enemies declaring war have to offer peace without terms after 10 turns
UB: Geothermal Plant (replaces Hydroplant), adding: all tundra counts as river
UU: Bard of Iceland (replaces Great Writer), generates 50% of a great writer's culture as well when creating a great work

I would like to see an Ancient Korean civilization, one from before they were heavily influenced (or coerced) into adopting Chinese culture.

Perhaps the Amazons would also make for an interesting civilization.

I stiil have an "earlier Sweden" civ idea on the back burner, with these basic details --

• Leader: either Erik the Victorious or his legendary widow, Sigrid the Proud
• Capital: [Old] Uppsala
• Trait: Land of Wooden Gods (+1 Faith/+1 Production from Lumber improvements after adopting a pantheon belief; foreign religions (those not founded by the player) exert 25% less Pressure
• UB: [Having trouble deciding between several Norse alternatives that haven't been used before -- Picture Stone/Stone Ship replacing Monuments; Ring Fort replacing Barracks; or Hof replacing the Temple]
• UU: [Longboat and Berserker are both taken by Denmark in other mods; does anyone have ideas for a different Norse unit, please? The Svear were both militant and well-traveled for their time.}
