OVERVIEW:
World of Legends is an unofficial expansion mod to Civilization 4. The original project was started in the summer of 2007, but due to various problems, it became officially dead around the spring of 2008. However, as the one who came up with the idea of WoL, I figured that I could not let the whole thing die, and so, I have decided to resurrect the mod from the dead (though as a rather less ambitious version of the original). Yes, WoL is back as a zombie!
Although occasionally WoL will include additions that probably would not make it in a true expansion (such as the addition of Modern civs like Brazil), WoL is trying to keep close to an expansion format; the mod will feature new civs, units, buildings, wonders, leaders, core features, and even scenarios. There will also be other additions for game balance, aesthetics, and fun. WoL is trying to mimic an expansion here, so all features of a real expansion, good AND bad, will be introduced, to give all a feel of a new expansion. Thus, this will not be a complete hardcore Mod, like Rhyes or Fall from Heaven, but many new options will be available.
Alpha Version Info
The Alpha Version of World of Legends mostly includes only additions in civs and leaders. 22 civilizations and 20 new leaders for old civs (thus a grand total of 44 new leaders) are added. All civilizations have new UUs, UBs, leaderheads, and custom diplomacy.
Three new traits have also been added: agrarian, progressive, and nationalistic. Because of this, many leaders have had trait switches (for example, Genghis Khan is now Agrarian and Imperialistic, and Cyrus is now Progressive and Expansive). Generally, every combination will be used once. The three traits bonuses are:
Agrarian extra food on every tile producing 4 or more food
Progressive - +3 science beakers in every city
Nationalistic - +2 spy points in every city, free Combat I promotion for all mounted units
The Industrious trait now also only has a +25% wonder bonus, but it also gives an extra hammer on every tile producing 3 or more hammers.

HELP and CREDITS:
If anyone would like to help with WoL, that would be great, although I myself can generally handle most of the XML, and dutchking is always happy to assist me with graphics and interface. What I probably will need is someone who has decent experience programming with python.
Also, please feel free to give your suggestions and advice, either on this thread or on WoL's development thread HERE! Most of the concepts and implementations may not be entirely balanced or useful, so any suggestions would be welcome.
I must acknowledge and thank my former team members dutchking, Gaius Octavius, Ball Lightning, and TheLastOne36, as well as those who have helped us, including Zerver, Seven05, Bakuel, and others whom I can not exactly remember at this time (remind me if you want!). Without them, this mod would have never amounted to much.
Credits also goes to other people whom I nicked stuff off:
CivGold, Amra, Aranor, esnaz, ekmek, jimmyballz, bakuel, danrell, zerver, sakhr, bernie14, chuggi, rabbit,white, Modfreak, The Capo, NikNaks, Kao'chai, C. Roland, Refar, iloveplayciv, and probably many others I have forgotten (and if I have forggoten someone, please tell me!)
) was, quite bluntly, "Legends". Like how BtS focused on the early modern and modern eras, and how Warlords focused on military additions, WoL will try to have a gentle focus on, blandly put, "Legends" - a more romantic, or perhaps poetic, view on Civilization, if that even makes sense. For example, WoL's main, core feature will be the Hero units. The Heroes obviously are "legendary" personalities from each civilization, so no question there. Of course, the whole name of WoL is just a brand name, of course, so there isn't much a point of trying to dissect this like some English major...
I will give this a go in time, I have several on a list to play.
