Well the wonderful Rob advised I use the Citizen Hoplite name.
 
Too easy. By a long way.

Also, a few questions for the esteemed Firebug:

How balanced is Megara's UA? I mean, it seems a little strong to me.

I can't recall what the Hippeis replaces (though from the name I'm guessing Horseman).

Argos is surprisingly strong for a warehouse full of cheap jewellery. Are you banking on it just being a super-tall City? Also, +15% Combat Bonus in which Territory? I mean, from the rest of the Civ I'd assume your own territory, but that's not guaranteed.

Does the Epirus UA stack with Police State in Autocracy?

So, the Muses can be used for Golden Ages though they're a Great Musician replacement? Does that replace the tourism bomb or is it an additional thing? (I think this might be a flub on your part, though; it's Artists who give golden ages, not Musicians)

Does the Milesian NC replacement give +3 Science as well as all the rest of it? I hope so, because I like replacing National Wonders. =]
 
So all of these civs except for Megara can't build settlers, is that intended? (Yes, I know that they're supposed to be the Greek city-states, after all.)
 
One would assume so, otherwise Corinth would be drastically overpowered. =]
 
I'm unable to update Corinth on CivFanatics until i get my old account back.

I can't answer most of those balancing questions until i've fully revised the ideas. (hence the fact they are ideas)
Although i do know the Milesian national wonder will also give +3 and that i did make a mistake with the Great Musician.
The Epirus UA will probably stack with the Police State policy.
Hippeis IS a horseman replacement.

Megara is the only one that can build settlers due to their heavy colonisation. (I know that other states did colonise but i wanted one that was unique in settling.
 
I updated it on Steam.
I removed the Production for citizens bonus and now its just the +2 gold from engineers and +2 production from merchants.
 
After a few months of technical issues, I've fixed Athens and should be released within a day. (Just refining it)
 
Yay! I thought you were gone forever! Any other plans?
 
Whatever is second most popular on that poll, (or what i find easiest :p)
I would reset the poll, but i don't know how.
 
Well, Sparta.
(Ho Ho Ho)
 
When i begin work on Sparta i may need help coding it. It seems like it may be complicated to do.
 



Unique Unit
Citizen Hoplites
Unlike the Spearmen it replaces it has 3 Moves. Starts with Charge Promotion


Unique Building Temple of Aphrodite
Unlike the Temple it replaces it has +5 happiness. 25% of food is carried over at birth.

The Citizen Hoplite unit icon color seems to be different than the civ's highlight color?
 
Oh yeah, i see that.
Unfortunately there's no more updates for Corinth, i lost the files. Something that minor isn't that worth a repackage.


Athens is finally here!
 
BEHOLD
LEONIDAS

Can't wait for Athens. D'you have plans to introduce unique GWoWs to represent Athenian philosophical schools?
