Hi everyone,

this is the mod i made where you can play Bretagne (also known as Brittany)

features:

Bretagne a new civ
with its own flag and civilopedia

leaders (include head and pedia):
Anne de Bretagne (spiritual, financial) favors free speech
currently using isabella mindset

Bertrand du Guesclin (aggressive, organized) favors free religion using napoleon mindset

Nominoë (static image plus pedia): aggressive and philosophical, favors serfdom

starting tech:
fishing, agriculture

UU: Knight of the round table
knight with +50% against mounted unit
using its own skin see it below

civilopedia: entry in english

if anyone think of a better UU name, i will be glad to hear your comments

here is the file, unrar it in your mod folder:
Bretagne V1.05

It took me just a little bit of time to figure out that Bretagne was referring to the British (maybe even Great Britain?). Now, I have a fairly poor understanding on what exactly this refers to in particular since I have very little knowledge of the origins of England, so, forgive me if I don't entirely understand what "Bretagne" exactly refers to.

[Edit]
Okay nevermind... I Wikipedia-ed Bretagne. Sorry about that.

I'd just like to say that I absolutely love the idea of having a Knight of the Round Table as a UU -- except the only problem is that they were individuals and not actual armies. But the thing is -- there is no better word for Knight than Knight. So perhaps you might find it best to refer to the various chivilry orders -- such as Knight of Garter or some such. Although, if given a choice between that and Knight of the Round, I'd choose the latter. :)

Also you can take any <TEXT> </TEXT> tag and put it into your custom Text.xml file -- and the game will call it up fine. I'm surprised they didn't allow it with other XML files (such as Civs and leaderheads), but at least we can compile our text references into a single file for the sake of simplicity.

Actually bretagne is a French province nowadays.
My bad really -- I just read the word Brittany and think "British." It sunk a little deeper into my logic when I read the Knight of the Round Table as the UU.
 
i was thinking about a finding a chivaliry order, even if the round table is fun, it's coming from a myth, that's why it doesn't have a proper civilopedia description yet. but i have trouble finding one very specific (maybe the order of the Hermine). I like the idea Knight getting bonus over other knight...

next version will see leaderheads, proper civilopedia, and maybe a chivalry order instead of the UU

Same thing crossed my mind too. Some files have quite a bit of text inside...

PS. Asterix and Obelix as UU (only one allowed)! :cool: ;)
