Oh, yeah. Didn't Pearson win the Nobel Peace Prize after the Suez Crisis? He'd make a good leaderhead.

Iranian UP: Power of Safaviyya: New (Non-Conquered) Cities automatically start with Shi'ite Islam and a Shi'ite Temple
Mexican UP: Power of the Yucatan- All Cities automatically start with +2:Culture.
Sweden

UB: Riksbank (Bank with +75% and gives +1 Free Merchant )
UP: Power of the Formation: All Units start with the Formation Promotion
UHV: -Conquer Norway, Finland, Latvia, and Estonia by 1600 AD
- Do not lose any Cities before 1700 AD

Sounds good! Except the UB, perhaps...Argentina

One of the Argentinean UHVs should have to do with the Falklands. And maybe something else relating to the Europeans that immigrated there in the 20th Century.
A very underpowered UP. A tundra would still only have what 1 1 and 1 ? Specialists would kill these tiles.
I suggest either plus 1 and ability to build on tundra without water or ability to farm tundra (With bio is +2 would be very helpful and other civs that cap the cities wouldn't go into starvation)
Also Canada should spawn around 1850 is my guess.
One of the Argentinian UHVs should have to do with their powerful economy, as they were the second largest economy in the world at one point. So:
-Be the richest nation in the world in 1910/1920
OR
-Have the highest GDP (or whatever that thing is) in 1910/1920
Also, the Mayans are also super hard, perhaps even harder than the Khmer, if you can believe it. So, two things: a) don't expect it to be done for a little while AND b) any suggestions for how to find more/encompass more?
The UB of the Swedish isn't very Unique. (It's the same as the English Stock Exchange, but stronger.) I suggest giving it 1 free merchant.
The last UHV of the Swedish is too hard. You won't be able to get the amount of culture that France (or every other civ) will get by the time you will spawn.
The UHV of Argentina comes too quick. You have just 20 turns to get it, which can be impossible. You have to be lucky to get this UHV.
The UB only add 1 culture, which isn't very strong IMO.
Looks good, especially stuff like the dynamic rebirths.
Do you have plans to add any more civs? From Jarkovs mod, I think the Celts, Koreans, Native Americans and Zulu were good additions. Also think it would be good to have another South American civ, either Brazil or Argentina (or both).
Also wondering, do minor civs cause much time or resource usage? If not, would it be possible to create a good number, that only spawn depending on certain conditions. E.g. say if a civ collapsed completely like the Ottomans, any cities in the area around Armenia would go to a minor Armenian civ instead of just independents? Might be useful for some of the Chinese factions aswell.
Then you'll probably have to kill all European civs.
Spoiler :Which isn't a problem either.
With the Shi'a Muslim spawn, what would happen if someone other than Arabia gets Sunni Islam? Admittedly it only really happens with human players but it seems weird to have Islam in china suddenly split into two sects half the world apart.
I'd not say it's impossible to culturally overtake everyone from 1523 to the 20th century. It's a lot of time to hire artists, build culture and use the slider.
For Argentina, you could do something to do with the education system, which is renowned as one of the world's best, and easily the best in Latin America. They also are quite well-known for their scientific achievements, so I was thinking a UHV somewhere along the lines of:
-Build 5 Universities, 5 Observatories, 5 Laboratories and an Academy by 2000 AD
Also, I was thinking that Argentina could be the Maya rebirth since they have no one else to be reborn as. Plus the colour works really well. Then, the Incas could remain as the more sensible Peru rebirth.
Leaders:
- Sir John A. Macdonald, regarded as the Father of Canada, forged the self-governing Dominion of Canada
- Sir Wilfred Laurier, a highly regarded French-Canuck under whom Canada become very rich, two new provinces,
- William Mackenzie King, the crazed guy who lead us through WWII
- Lester B. Pearson, made the Canadian flag and lead Canada when it was actually influential
Spawn: in 1840 the Canadas united into the province of Canada and in 1867 the self-governing Dominion was created, pick your poison mate.
UP; The Boundless Land: rivers give 1 1, Tundra gives 1
Have you considered the exploitability of building espionage? Espionage is already immensely powerful as-is, but when you can even invest your whole production into stunning and destabilizing your enemy I don't know whether the AI can still compete.
Aussie Lurker said:A mod which requires you to use a Great Prophet to found the 7 religions of the game-via a special Religious "building".

2)India now spawns in the 3000BC start at Harappa. Massive barb wave around 2500BC, Harappa burned. Around 2000 BC, Indie cities spawn and the Indies get a GP in Pataliputra, which founds Hinduism.
This is true... Does a 4:1 Hammer:Espionage ration sound better?
Guys would Denmark-Norway be better as a rebirth for the Vikings?
Saying that Harrappa is a precrusor to the Indians is like saying that the Hitites were a precursor to the Ottomans. Im highly skeptical of this since archeologists know nothing of Harrapan language and know little of Harrapan religion and culture. And even little is know of their origins.
Anyways it is the Ganges not the Indus which is the origins of Indian culture.
And why should India get a special treatment. If this is the case then the chinese and egyptians should get a rebirth too.
This is a question similar to "Should the Incans spawn as Peru?" Denmark-Norway was not nearly as powerful as the Swedish Empire at its peak, but is definitely the more "appropriate" rebirth.
What do u mean by that1) As far as Harrapa's concerned, fine. I'll make it indie instead. Rest of the plan stays put.
Personally, I'd prefer Sweden to Denmark/Norway.
4:1 should be fair.This is true... Does a 4:1 Hammer:Espionage ration sound better?
Guys would Denmark-Norway be better as a rebirth for the Vikings?
I would third Sweden, after all, we're not spawning the Maya as Guatemala are we?
