The Golden Hordes Mod

Civilization III is 10 in October 31 2011. My main goal is to re-create all the game artworks. When I say artworks, I mean leaderheads, units, world wonders, urban improvements, buildings, natural resources, city graphics, terrains, graphical interface, tech tree icons, etc. I'll add new stuff too, such as new civilizations (31 new civis to get start), new units, 7 new wonders, new natural resources, and more. With all these artworks I can produce more than 100 high quality mods easily. Expect a Medieval Europe, Native American, Far East Asia, Mediterranean, Ancient World Mod, American Continent, 31 New Civis Mod and much more in the next months. This project is my masterpiece for Civilization III. Enjoy The Golden Hordes Mod (aka TGHM).

This is the original discussion thread: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?p=10724011 . You can comment here or there. Since I have a lot of stuff to change in this first version and a thousand of new stuff to add in TGHM, we have a lot of stuff to discuss.

I started to work in TGHM in 2011 July. In three weeks, I’ve opened the first mod thread on CFC and the previews started to come daily. I’d like to thank you everyone who have read and posted on the discussion thread and have helped me with feedbacks, information and motivated me in this challenge. Special thanks for Ares de Borg, Blue Monkey, Dumanios, Jerry'sGoldfish, Kyriakos, Ozymandias, Plotinus, Quinzy, ShiroKobbure, Steph, Supa, Takhisis, themanuneed, and Wolfhart . And a final thanks for IgorS for his city lists. I hope I didn’t miss anyone.

CIVILIZATIONS AND LEADERHEADS

These are the first 62 civilizations of The Golden Hordes Mod. My plan is to create at least more 50. The leaderheads are 3d, animated, era specific, *.pcx included.

Meet the new 31 civis: the blues are that ones which have appeared in any Civilization version, including Colonization. The reds have never been in any version. Alto the greens, the civilizations of the 1st expansion pack.
