Missing Civilizations

[Tunch Khan]

This thread aims at creating a database for adding the missing civilizations for those who'd like to mod them. I suggest those who are interested in other civilizations should add some information about the nation, name; capital; cities; suggested leaders; UU; great people (scientist, merchant, prophet, engineer, artist).

These are the poll results from this forum about your opinions on which Civs should be added with around 300 Civ fans participating and Babylonians are the most missed civilization with Turks and Vikings sharing a close second, Carthage/Phoenicia; Celts; and Zulu to follow. I will reserve the next six posts for these civilizations and we can all discuss on these as well as new ideas and suggestions.

Assyria 59 20.07%
Babylon 170 57.82%
Celts 104 35.37%
Carthage/Phoenicia 122 41.50%
Dutch 95 32.31%
Iroquois 90 30.61%
Israel ( or ancient tribe ) 77 26.19%
Khmer 41 13.95%

Please suggest leader traits and great leaders. The ones I have listed here are the basic initial suggestions.

[Loppan Torkel]

Swedish cities: Sigtuna, Östra Aros, Västra Aros, Uppsala, Visby, Skara, Lund,

Nordic Scientists: Carl von Linné, Anders Celsius, Jöns Jacob Berzelius, Anders Jonas Ångström, Carl Wilhelm Scheele, Lars Magnus Ericsson, Tycho Brahe, Alfred Nobel,

Artists: Sören Kierkegaard, ABBA , Metallica , HC Anderssen, Jenny Lind, Greta Garbo, Ingmar Bergman, Ingrid Bergman, Dag Hammarsköld(?), Elsa Beskow, Astrid Lindgren, August Strindberg, Carl Michael Bellman, Evert Axel Taube, Anders Leonard Zorn, Edvard Munch,

Edit: If it's Scandinavians rather than Vikings only (since, for example, all scientific leaders come after the Viking period), Gustav II Adolf would be a nice leader and diversity from the Viking leaders. An improved cannon could be the UU.

I added your cities and people to the previous list, ABBA and Metallica are fun additions, but should we add them as great people of Vikings? Because they are a group of people, but i wouldn't mind it if people are pleased that way. Dag Hammarskjöld on the other hand is not an artist but a great diplomat. I placed him under prophets after his only published book "Markings" as he's truly a man of faith, duty and mission. Markings is a monumental book about his spiritual journey within his heart to transcend him deep into Mysticism.

[oldStatesman]

Well here is a start for Polynesia - pardon any inaccuracies - I am very much an amatuer historian who is just develing into the Polynesian culture (I am not a naitve in any way shape or form) and this list is just meant as a starting point. It is as of now mainly an amalgamam of Maori and Hawaiin influences; however the area is rich wiht many other Island cultures so any other candidates are welcome.

Leader : Kamehameha the Great (Hawaii) Kopura-tahi (Mythical King of the forebears of the original Polynesians as preserved by the Takitumu tribe of Maori)

Capital : New Guinea (Place where it is generally thought the original Polynesians sailed from on their Diaspora)

Great Scientists : Tupaia (Navigator and Priest, Accompanied Capt. Cook), Duke Kahanamoku (Inventor of Surfing)

Great Merchants : Hiro (Legendary Tahtian who built first ocean going 'cargo' canoe thus enabling commerce and exploration)

Great Prophets : Te Kooti (Maori Religious leaswer and warrior) Lono (Hawiian God)

Great Artists : Don Ho, (Singer) Paul Gauguin (French Artist who made Tahiti famous)

Great Engineers : Atua Ure Rangi (Easter Island King representative of the building of the Moai - the Great Statues of Easter Island)

Unique Unit : Māori War Canoe

Cities (Note- Using Island groups here instead of cities to reflect the character of this unique culture):
Anuta (in the Solomon Islands)
Cook Islands (self-governing former territory of New Zealand)
Easter Island (part of Chile, called Rapa Nui in Rapa Nui)
Emae (in Vanuatu)
Hawai‘i (a state of the United States)

Aotearoa (called New Zealand)
Niue (a self-governing dependency of New Zealand)
Nuguria (in Papua New Guinea)
Nukumanu (in Papua New Guinea)
Nukuoro (in the Federated States of Micronesia)
Ontong Java (in the Solomon Islands)

Posted this a while back, but here it is again

The South

Leader: I know that Jefferson Davis is the easy defaut for a Southern leader, but how about one of the secessionists instead of an inept leader of a bankrupt government? I say John C. Calhoun, philispohical (as there is no doubt he was an influencial and genius statesman, much like Scalia you might not agree with his views but its hard to disagree with his logic) and industrious (I realize that the South wasn't really industious at the time, but if you look at the actual benefit of wonder production then the promotion of a state's right to slave labor seems most appropriate). He would favor nationhood civic.

Alternate Leader: Martin Luther King, Jr. is spiritual and expansive and favors universal suffrage. This could help take the edge off of those who would falsely percieve a Southern civilization as predominantly racist (or at least any more racist than others). It would also be a giant step over the other alternate leaders which seem more or less to represent the same ideals perceptions on a civilizations culture.

UU: The Confederate Submarine. Should come along earlier than most other submarines, probably the same time as the ironclads and have the same stealth and attack capabilites of a normal submarine. Advantage of the unique unit is not in its base stats, but in the earlier spot on the tech tree.

Alternate UU: Johnny Reb. Is a unit that arises in any age as the highest tech defensive unit (spearmen, musketman, rifleman) who functions much like partisans in Civ 2, in that they pop up after an invasion. However, it would only occur after an invasion by a former ally...say a certain diplomacy ranking during the prior 10 or 15 turns. This would be a fairly accurate representation of the patriotic Southern soldier, who did not fight for slavery but against an invading army. Cost is free, but can not be built and occur at random roll of die (like global warming, but with better odds) and is affected by level of culture and happiness in the conquered city and units may continue to appear from the time of conquer until peace is declared. Is not available until the discovery of Civil Service.

Capital City: Atlanta, not the actual capital at the time of the war. However, there is no doubt that it is the capital of the New South and as we are looking at a civilization as a whole we should look at the entire history of the Civilization not just four years (hence the inclusion of Calhoun and King as the leaders). In addition, this would help with the problem of the South only building Richmond and America having 4 or 5 cities including "Atlanta" and then wanting to build other citeis and Atlanta not being a choice.

Other Cities: Richmond, Charleston, New Orleans, Savannah, Nashville, Birmingham, Jackson, Memphis (will probably be gone by the time you get to it b/c of Egyptians), Chattanooga, Willaimsburg and St. Augustine (very Old South), Charlotte and Arlington (representing the New South).

Great People, assuming like in Civ III

Great Artist: Faulkner

Great Merchantman: Ted Turner

Great Engineer: How about Andrew Jackson for the barricades in New Orleans "during" the War of 1812. Sorry I'm not an expert on great engineers.

Great Prophet: Billy Graham

Colors: Red, secondary Gray.

Flag: Anything other than the Confederate Battle Flag doesn't seem very depictive...but definently open to nonconfrontational alternatives, especailly with MLK as alternate who I can't see carrying a Confederate Battle Flag.

Culture group (I assume there is a visual difference in how units and improvements appear on the map): Mixed or Euro and African in appearance of units, but Euro in improvements and early settlements.

Unfortunately, I know absolutely nothing about computers and this is the only game I've really played since I was 13 years old when I got my first Civ I for my Dad's Mac. Anyone interested in helping me to create this civilization for real in the modding stuff, or want to give me some hints on how this can easily be done??? I get tired of just creating a custom civ and changing my leader name and cities to get the desired effect and end up with an Elephant as my unique unit. Thanks for reading this far.

[Tunch Khan]

huntunc's suggestion reminded me of the flags; it would be great if you could also suggest a brief description (or image if it's really necessary) of the flag of the civilization you are proposing. I would recommend the following default outline to avoid confusion:

Civilization :

Leader :

Capital :

Flag :

Starting Techs :

Great Scientists :

Great Merchants :

Great Prophets :

Great Artists :

Great Engineers :

Unique Unit :

I heard about his book "Markings", have you read it?

I should mention also that the list I posted is pretty Swedish-sided. Some of the persons might not be "great" enough, especially if any Danes or Norwegians, or Icelanders for the matter, would add their suggestions to the list...

You should also decide whether you want "anglospelling" or our native spelling to the names.

[Tunch Khan]

I have read some articles on it with quotations. I'll lay my hands on it as soon as i can.

Anything or any character that is going to appear on Civ IV is fine as long as there's no major difference between the local and international (Anglosaxon?) spelling. (As in Suleyman> Suleiman> Solomon> I prefer the first version in Turkish)

[HourlyDaily]

On the Celts; I admit my laziness at looking up great people - but we don't not have to put up with the Romanised versions of city names. Yes Persians can argue that about the Greeks naming their cities for posterity etc. Pinyin translations into English etc.

These all come from the Civ 3 forums:
http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=96814
and
http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=27092
and
http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=33011

Useful for the rest of the civs on this list. ( I think)

Also for the Irish Celts - can I put forward Brian Boruma as a leader? Someone else suggested it in another thread.

Iberian, Welsh and Breton Celts may also suggest leaders, cities and great people if they'd like.

[Kyriakos]

Hm, perhaps August Strindberg would be a more reasonable choice than Abba, for the swedish civ Also i think that Knut Hamsun was swedish too.

For a scandinavian civ you could also add Ibsen and Grieg

[dpaajones]

Civilization : British Empire

Leader : Queen-Empress Victoria (could use the same images as the English leader)

Capital : London

Flag : Union Jack

Unique Unit : Dreadnought-class warship (see Wiki article) to replace ironclad (does that exist in Civ4?)

Cities : London, Manchester, Birmingham, Newcastle, Bristol, Leeds, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Cardiff, Dublin, Calcutta, Delhi, Belfast, Gibraltar, Ottawa, Singapour, Hong Kong, Sydney, etc etc!

Well I did include August Strindberg in the list, although I did forget about

Selma Lagerlöf (artist)
and there are probably other too that should be in, especially Danish and Norwegian people.

Edvard Grieg (artist),
Knut Hamsun (artist)
Henrik Ibsen (artist)
are all Norwegian and should be included.

Snorri Sturluson, Icelander (artist)
deserves a spot as well.

edit: @Tunch Khan - Alesund is mentioned two times in your list, and Malmo->Malmö and Gavle->Gävle if you want to use å, ä, ö like in the latter cities (just to be consistent). I'm not sure whether you want the modern or the old citynames either, since you've named it a "Viking" civ. Whichever Västra Aros becomes Västerås, Östra Aros -> Uppsala and Uppsala -> Gamla (old) Uppsala. It might get confusing if you use cities from different periods without being consistent with their names....

[CivDav]

They should put in some smaller civs. For example danish, israel, hungary....

[Kyriakos]

Why Hamsun as scientist? he was an author
