THE Civ of the Week Thread!

Really???

Actually it's been a really long time, and I sort of put the whole Civ of a Week franchise on hold, partly because I can't find the time to make really good unique leaderheads. I was originally working on a Bavaria CotW to get things out of the way, but... Yeah.

I'll try to look into it again, since the Civs of the Weeks aren't that difficult to do - it was really just the leaderhead that was the time-consuming part.

Yep, I thought you got enough of LH making.
I only tried to play with blender for a few hours, it was more than enough for me

IIRC there were the Mamluks, Mughals, maybe 1-2 more you said will do soon.
The only LH you said will finish soon was Abaoji for the Khitans
Will check the civs right away

EDIT: These were the latest suggestions (apart from Srivijaya and Bavaria):
redo Mughals + update LHs: Ekmek's Akbar, Capo wanted to make Babur for them (though he may changed his mind since then)
remake Khitans + new LHs: your Abaoji would go here, and I think Den's Kuchlug Khan was also pretty good
Mamluks with veBear's Baibars
Maybe a separate Moorish CotW

Alright, thanks so much for doing the work of compiling everything that I could have done myself. :mwaha:

I got a new computer since then, and I guess making a civ or two is a good way to give the new computer a good introduction to the world of civ4 modding.

Cool

How would I go about adding these to my copy of CivGold?

veBear · Jun 6, 2011

Here's the files

Good news folks, cyberxkhan and I are cooperating on a new civ :goodjob:

Huayna Capac357 · Jun 6, 2011

Could you add some previews please?

veBear · Jun 6, 2011

Download files and you'll see a reskin of Abaoji that will serve as LH 2, Qaitbay

I did however not have time to change his BG, so you'll have to deal with that cyber. Will not be able to mod until next week

cybrxkhan · Jun 6, 2011

@Huayna Capac: We're basically doing the Mamluks. I should be finished with it within two-three days at the latest.

@veBear: No problem, backgrounds are pretty easy anyways. I've also changed a couple of the values for Baibars' LH personality, if you don't mind.

cybrxkhan · Jun 7, 2011

Alright, finally done with the Mamluks. Big credit to veBear who worked on this with me, particularly since he did the Leaderheads, and I didn't need to. :mwaha:

Next is Bavaria to fulfill a request made long, long, long ago.

Anyhow, you can check out the first post of this thread (finally we get something new) or the downloads section of CFC. Without further ado, veBear and I both proudly present...

The MAMLUKS

Huayna Capac357 · Jun 7, 2011

I'll definitely download this :thumbsup:

veBear · Jun 8, 2011

I finished Qaitbay in a hurry, so I might get back to him on Monday when I get home again, as there are certain things I wish to fix (mainly the belt that holds the sword and his skin, both which needs a bit of sharpening)

May we sense v2 coming up soon then? If you allow me, I can go through it to check textbugs (I did se one, where I assumed you copied and the ' between the word and the s were gone and replaced by a space) too, so you could correct those :goodjob:

Else... looks very good mate

cybrxkhan · Jun 8, 2011

^Yeah, no problem. Maybe can you add a Middle-Eastern-esque mustache or beard or something on him too?

veBear · Jun 9, 2011

Don't have blender anymore, so that might be hard, but maybe you could do that

Justinian14 · Jun 24, 2011

cybrxkhan after you make Bavaria could you make the Vandals? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vandals
Leader could be Geiseric http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genseric

I cannot guarantee that I'll make them anywhere within the near or even distant future, but it certainly seems like a good civ to do, and I'll add them to my potential to-do list.

One problem with Vandals though... their Capital was Carthage, and we alreadye have a civ with that city as Capital, and a Carthaginian Empire without Carthage as a city is kind of ridicilous :hammer2:

Well, sort of like the Istanbul and Constantinople thing, isn't it? Guess it'll just have to be handwaved, eh?

Anyhow... I have finished another Civ of the Week. This was requested long ago, and I hope it might still be of use. Presenting:

BAVARIA

Next is Burma.

there are several mods with Italy where the capital is Roma instead of Rome
for the Vandals it could be Carthago instead of Carthage

... except from teh fact that the Ottomans and Byzantines had their capital go by different names. Therefore this can actually work. However, adding citynames so alike such as Rome and Roma or in this case, Carthage and Carthago, should not be allowed. Those names are too close to each other.

However, here's a quote from the Wiki page on Genseric:

Wikipedia: Genseric said:
Taking advantage of a dispute between Boniface, Roman governor of North Africa, and the Roman government, Genseric ferried all 80,000 of his people across to Africa in 429. Once there, he won many battles over the weak and divided Roman defenders and quickly overran the territory now comprising modern Morocco and northern Algeria. His Vandal army laid siege to the city of Hippo Regius (where Augustine had recently been bishop — he died during the siege), taking it after 14 months of bitter fighting. The next year, Roman Emperor Valentinian III recognized Genseric as king of the lands he and his men had conquered.

They did not conquer Carthage until 10 years later, so Hippo Regius could be their capital, and Carthage their second city in the city list. Then we will not have a Carthaginian civilization without Carthage as their capital, and the Vandals get to build Carthage if the Carthaginians are not in game. Problem solved :thumbsup:
