Good luck with this mod!

Thanks a lot, Civitar!

Btw... you're from Switzerland - your really should try the tabletop RPG... assuming you can read and talk german :p
 
I'm a total beginner with German - a whole boardgame would be waaaay over my head for now.
Still, it's good that Civ5 mods are not only in English. I'd go for one totally in Italian or French and tell all the anglophones how good it was.:lol:
Perhaps when Warhammer appears, you could do a German translation?
 
Update:
Successfully ported FA's spell system into the mod (with his allowance, of course).
Time to implement the Slivermoon spells!

Spoiler :


 
Aaaaand the Tech Tree is ready to be coded.

Spoiler :


 
If I may make a recommendation: don't have the tech tree converge towards some dumb repeating tech. Just because Firaxis does it is no reason for you to.
I'd recommend instead having each tier be exponentially more expensive. So it takes literally the whole game to get 2 or 3 final-tier techs.
With fantasy conversion mods you will want there to be a lot more branching - your 4-5 initial techs are a good start and the thicker tiers afterwards are brilliant. But don't cut all down to one tech at the end.
(Also, I may have to steal a few of those techs. Hope you don't mind.)
 
Thanks for your words.
I too don't like future tech - but what happens when there is no more tech to discover?

Also, like in FfH I am going to implement spells with own tech branches. So what you see is only the mundane tech tree.

Oh, and yeah, feel free to take from my mod/ idea what you like.
Like I am going to steal your ratlings... ;)
 
There should never be no more tech to discover - make techs so expensive at the end that it's impossible to completely research the tech tree.
Alternate spell tech trees sound great - I wish I could say that's essentially what I've done with Warhammer, but they're not Spell "trees", they're more like Spell "pools".
Once the Skaven units are available use as many or as few as you like.

You mean I should make some "fake" techs just to enhance the immersion?

Well, they are not really alternate (they don't exclude each other). You can still research every school of magic to the end - but I don't know if you have enough time to do that. ;)

I mean what I said - have techs so expensive that research goes slowly enough that by the end the player hasn't finished researching the whole tree.
 
I just wanted to drop by and say what's going on with this mod.
The process is quite good. The tech tree is complete in SQL (with the hints by Civitar implemented) and all units are new and ready to kick some ass (including differences by species). Now follow the buildings.

The unit icons:


After units, buildings and wonders I'll upload a new beta version. That time in full English support!
 
Thanks, mate!
I will at least have a look at them! ;)
 
Aaaand here they are, the building icons.

 
Just a quick update:
The buildings and units are complete.

I hope to release v6 after my holidays in late april with these features:
- whole new tech tree
- all new units and buildings
- new resources (mostly for units)
- Fearun's spell system completely ported with new spells
- spell 'tech' tree
- two new civs: dwarfs and undead
- more beliefs
