East Asia mod?

Yoda Power · Nov 14, 2007

Yes I guess I could add some resource specific buildings. I was already thinking of elephant stables.

With units I just have to do the best I can. I'll start by contructing a line for one of the civs that looks somewhat generic, and then I'll just add as many flavour units as possible, I think that's the only way to go.

If you need any specific buildings, just post a request.

Yoda Power · Nov 14, 2007

Thanks!

Stormrage has a point about units. So I'll just use this post as a library for the possible units, so I can keep track. Some of the units are not 100% right, but I put them on the list just in case. I also included some units that questionable quality wise, but I'll sort it out.

Spoiler :

Then there's also the units done by Rob and Firaxis.

If they survived the rescue, or I can relocate them through my bookmarked links, I've got images of SE Asian warriors, including an early photo or two of a couple of Balinese in traditional armor.

Resources
Here are my suggestions on resources. I'm considering making Gold a strat resource too (for marketplaces etc.), but I'm not sure if it's a good idea. I think I'll make a specific building for each lux resource.

Strat
Copper
Iron
Horses
Elephants
Timber
Stone
Gunpowder

Lux
Silk
Jade
Spices
Tea
Cotton
Sugar
Sake
Incense

Bonus
Rice
Wheat
Cattle
Pig
Sheep
Banana
Gold
Silver
Fish
Whale
Shellfish
Oasis

The extra Luxury could be Opium?

Yoda Power · Nov 14, 2007

Wouldn't that be a bit wrong in historical accuracy, since the mod ends around 1700?

Yoda Power · Nov 14, 2007

Buildings updated

Ok here is a new list of buidlings. I still hope people will download it help me fill out the red and yellow spots.

Not really, because although the "Opium Wars" were later, the use of Opium as a luxury substance goes back to the ancient times.

Yoda Power · Nov 14, 2007

Ok I guess Opium can be the last lux resource then.

Here are the current civs. I changed some things after the advice I got here, but I can't decide what civ should go in Xinjiang. Who could that be?

Technically there's room for one more civ in northern Manchuria, but that area is naturally sparsely inhabited, so I don't think anyone fit's in there.

edit: maybe I should add some civ in eastern Indonesia?

Now I just have to figure out this for each civ:

*Leader
*Traits
*Religions
*Cities
*Mil and Sci leaders

City lists
I'll start creating some city lists. As always comments and suggestions are appreciated.

Spoiler Indus :

Spoiler Maurya :

Spoiler Korea :

Spoiler Vijayanagara :

Spoiler Majapahit :

Spoiler Kambujadesa :

Spoiler Tibet :

Spoiler Mughals :

The "?" could be the Uighurs?

Yoda Power · Nov 14, 2007

I guess they could, but where would their capital be? That's pretty important.

Virote_Considon · Nov 14, 2007

The Mongolian scenario that came with Civ4Warlords states it to be Beshbalik, with Kuchi and Khamil as additional cities.

Ogedei_the_Mad · Nov 14, 2007

I think Lacquer or Sandalwood would be better luxuries than Opium. Lacquered crafts and furniture and Sandalwood were highly prized luxury goods among the elites or those who could afford them.

I've noticed that you used the old Romanization for the Korean cities - would you like the updated ones? Also, "Seoul" is a modern name; the capital of the Joseon period was Hanyang. The capital of Korea varies depending on your focus - Geumseong (Gyeongju) in the Shilla period, Gaeseong in the Goryeo period, and Hanyang in the Joseon period.

The link in my sig has a list of leaders, capitals, and UU suggestions for East Asian civs from the Shang Dynasty up to the 19th century. Blue Monkey would know more about the South and Southeast Asian civs.

As for the Uighur capital, Wikipedia has the first capital as Ordu Baliq. I'll look more into the matter on Uighur history; my knowledge of Central Asia is lacking here.

Shinto shrine by the way is "Jinja."

Stormrage · Nov 14, 2007

There`s a ninja in the jinja!

I don`t have the willpower to go trough all the unit links, but I trust you have enough for startes, judging from their numbers.

Blue Monkey · Nov 14, 2007

I'd say incense for the luxury item; since sandalwood is the primary one from India that'd make sense.

Nothing to comment on the cities list except that maybe you would be interested in using one of the less Anglicized version of Calcutta: Kalikata or Kolkata.

Leaders: no one knows any names for anything Harappan so do what you will. The obvious choice for Maurya is Asoka. For the other two I'd have to do some research.

As I will for other leaders & suggested traits.

Yoda Power · Nov 15, 2007

Just checking in. I see all your replies, but I have to go away for a few days. Don't worry I'll be back around the 20th.

(and then I'll reply all your posts)

Rob (R8XFT) · Nov 15, 2007

There's a handful of Indian units that I did specifically for Anno Domini, but haven't uploaded separately. Please feel free to raid AD for anything you need from it, even though it's still technically a beta.
