Just for a refresher, here's the nations that are presently included, its not completely set it stone, but you'd have to persuade me quite well to change it.
- United States - Abraham Lincoln
- Confederate States - Jefferson Davis
- Great Britain - Alexandrina Victoria (Queen Victoria)
- 2nd French Empire - Charles Louis-Napoléon Bonaparte (Napoléon III)
- Spanish Empire - Isabella II
- Great Sioux Nation - Red Cloud
- Republic of Mexico - Benito Juárez
the Sioux are nomadic. This means they control 0 cities at the beginning of the game, but they will begin with 2-3 "camp" units, which act almost exactly like the camp unit from the mongol scenario. I haven't worked out all the details of which units it should spawn... its set up, but it hasn't been balanced.
There may also be a couple "minor" civs set up to represent some of the other natives.
here's a rough overview of the map (its not 100% complete quite yet)
I'll use python events to keep Great Britain, France, and Spain competitive. Kinda like the revolutionary war mod for vanilla, giving Great Britain "reinforcements from the homelands" ect...
Also considering using parts of Dom Pedro's "Conqueror's Delight", especially the part about national recognition. So the confederacy would start out with no recognition as a nation, and could perhaps earn it.
