Just a note: the thread will not be up until the weekend. Sorry.
I really like the House of Tudor but the UA seems week. In the end it only benefits one city. Being able to cancel deals and whatnot doesn't seem useful unless a person is in a very particular situation depending on play style. I like the UU since its naval and it seems cool in general. Pikeman are also fun if on a bad upgrade line.My England split:
Anglo - Saxons
Spoiler :Leader: Alfred the Great
UA: Burghal Hidage
During war, anything stationed on farms cost no maintenance and heal 10 HP per turn. 5% of the city's food output will be added to production towards military units and buildings per each worked tile that is adjacent to a Burh least 2 food(up to 50%). When a city starts to construct a new military unit\building, 25% of the food amount that was required for the last citizen is contributed towards it.
UI: Burh
Unlocked at currency. May not be built adjacent to another Burh. Automatically pillaged when enemy enters it. Adjacent units receive 50% larger bonus against barbarians, and 20% of the bonus vs. Barbarians while defending(against all enemies). You may move citizen to a Burh, increasing its yields by 1 gold, and allowing it to attack adjacent enemies(at the cost of all unit's movement points). +1 food after civil service. Burh has a ZOC
UU: Fyrd
Replaces longswordsman. Unlocked earlier, at metal casting. Has lower combat strength, but is cheaper. When stationed on a Burh, increases its yields by 1 food and 1 gold. Has a 20% combat boost in friendly lands.
House of Tudor
Spoiler :Leader: Henry VIII
UA: Mon Druit
May cancel DoFs, war commitments, and peace agreements(with no trade) after 50% of the treaty duration has passed. Signing trade deals, defensive pacts, conquering a city, declaring friendship and signing a peace treaty starts a WLtKD in the capital. Each embassy increases the length of WLtKDs in the capital by 1 turn.
UU: Great ship
Replaces Galleas. Has higher combat strength (18 ), and higher ranged strength(18 ). Has 4 movement(instead of 3). More expansive, and may cross oceans.
UU: Billman
Replaces Pikeman. Weaker then the pikeman(15 ). Has bonus against damaged units(33%). After researching steel, receives extra 3 strength, gains the charge promotion and receives a 33% attack bonus(instead of the original bonus).
Feedback please.
More to come!(hopefully)

Sounds like a very nice and original idea, not to mention it gives embassies a new use, but is it clever to have trade deals start a WLtKD? Since you can simply send another civ a resource or a low amount of gold per turn, you could get a WLtKD at any point in the game -actually you could just go perma WLtKD-. Furthermore, from the way I see it, both treaties canceling and other WLtKD starting options would become fairly unnecessary or situational.
Kontor isn't exactly a marketplace(nice UA though ).
Is jager Bavarian?
Akhenaten
No comment, really. It is cool, balanced and fits the leader. Bretty gud.
Ptolemy (Soter?)
Same as above, to be honest.
Narmer
I really, really like this one, it is a very interesting way of representing the Nile flood, something I didn't even think about representing myself. When (read: If) I make my own Narmer civ, I'll have to incorporate part of this one. However, I think it doesn't fit the creator of the world's first empire too well, but, ah, whatever works. I also think the additional bonuses from Food Plains may be a bit excessive, since 'We Love the King Day' already increases Food.
The automatic inheritence of cities is based mainly in gameplay, I felt they needed a Venice-like way of getting new cities, but also saw that most designs based off of Venice-style play use the same mechanic of GP purchase. I looked for a totally different way to do it and voila - auto inheritence via Kontors. That said, its also rooted in history. The civ doesn't represent Lubeck, but the Hanse. Though lubeck itself never owned the other cities in the league - the league did end up with disproportionate influence within certain cities. I choose to represent that through occasionally puppeting a city.Hansa League
Pretty interesting civ you've got there. Good way of doing the Hansa, but I don't know if they actually owned any cities. They certainly conducted business in Bergen, Tallinn etc. but they didn't own those cities, I think.
Bavaria
Eeeh... this one is weird in three ways:
Also, Jäger should be written either Jaeger or Jeger, not Jager, and the name has already been taken by JFD's Germany revision, anyway.
- Beer focus... really? That seems way too stereotypical, and maybe even offensive.
- Almost everything is way too complicated. And that's me saying that. I love complicated things.
- JFD has already made a Bavaria led by the Swan King. I understand you do this for fun, but I think it's a bit disrespectful to seemingly disregard it completely.
Future Germanies
Many of these are already done:
Something ancient (The Germans)
Prussia (JFD's Prussia, although if you were to do a different leader that'd be ok)
German Empire (JFD's Germany Revision, Greater Europe's Germany (Wilhelm II)
Third Reich (JFD's Germany (Hitler))
Looking forward to your ideas for the Palatinate - they may inspire my design for it, or at least their uniques. Will the leader be Frederick V?
@Urdnot_Scott
I feel obliged to reply either way. There's nothing to be done there. I guess it's my... politeness? No, that's not the right word...
Mieszko I's Polanians - Plains based conquest and settlement
Bolesław the Brave - Early Kingdom - Building and Conquest
Kazimierz the Great - Piast Kingdom - Tolerance and Refugees
Władysław II Jagiełło - Jagellion Kingdom - Paganism and Defence
Casimir IV Jagiellon - Kingdom of Poland-Lithuania - Teutonic Smashing Badass
Zygmunt III - Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth - Golden Ages and Elections
Władysław IV Vasa - Also PLC - Defence and Counter-attack
Jan III Sobieski - Winged Hussars!

Władysław Gomułka - Polish Communist Republic - Heavy production focus
Almost as big as my Norway list.
Almost.
Probably, I'm not sure who else I'd choose. I'm not sure about the uniques. I kind of want a war/faith design, but I'd also like some bonuses in there for weird disjointed empires. Being able to connect cities to the capital through other civs borders? Automatic city connections if bordering a new civ? Plus bonuses for city connections? É troppo difficile
Almost as big as my Norway list.
Almost.
Ah, if only everything you proposed were actually codeable.
Sobieski, Jan, don't you want to do Sobieski?
teasing, oc
Almost as big as my Norway list.
Almost.
