I did make a Modern Norway civ some time ago, and it got almost complete. Now work on that civ and two others is near to completetion and ready for betatesting. Give it a week and tester can be recruited.

Jorrtapp's Mod will include:

Modern Norway
Post '47 Israel
Third Reich

So far the civ's have:
Their leaders completed. (1 each at the time).
3 unique units all ready and complete.
Leaderheads are still in 2D, but work is well underway on 3D.
Civilipedia entries for nations, leaders and units complete.
Work being done with AI to make them a little more personal. (Needs testing)
Compability to Civ4 v1.61, No Warlordz version planned as I ain't got Warlordz

Planned addittions:
Diplomatic comments. (The welcome comments when you first meet them).
Finshing the 3D leaderheads.

The addition of the Nazis ( Third Reich ) as a civ might be a bit touchy to some people, but I feel that their mark on history and the world even up to this day warrants for their creation. Not to mention that various other dictators of the same calibre have been made both officially and by modders ( Stalin and Mao as examples. )
My creation of the Third Reich does not mean in any way that I sympathise or advocate their wievs and ideas, rather to the contrary I despice what they stand for political and ethical. Still as I said, the mark they made on the world in their short period of existence makes them Civ-worthy.
Plus, it might get even more fun to go to war against them!!

i personally have been waiting for the third reich for the longest time, with the sole purpose of destroying them, hopefully by 200 A.D. thank you, but please make a Warlords version, for I do have warlordz.

btw, what are the UU? The nazi's are definitley throwing what looks like a blitzgrieg tank, but can't tell other 2.

nice but when does this come out

As for unique units:

Norway fields a HV-unit. A local defensive armyunit recruited from the local population. Not a townmilitia but an regular force that can deploy in a few hours to a day after being mobiliced.

Israel have a tank. This unit is a modern armor but a specific unit name is not yet ready. I need further research into it as the IDF have a lot of european / american equipment. Any israelis are welcome to help out on this one.

The Third Reich has so far a unit that I hope can summarice their blitztactic together with the technical and tactical superiority they had in the 3 first years of WW2.

I will not reveal details of UU's various unique attributes as I am not quite satisfied with it yet.

The two tanks may come out as a general summary of their respective civ's strenghts and not specific units.

Plan on giving them unique names though, and again, help from israelis would be appreciated, as my knowledge of IDF is lesser than ofthe other two.

About compability to Warlordz: It is not planned!! Simply as I do not have the expansion. Hopefully when it is up and running with vanilla 1.61 I can get someone to make it to Warlordz.

Release: Not yet decided, but after tonights work it looks good. As far as I can tell a few days more, maybe as late as midweek, and I can get betatesters for the mod.

Theres a Merkava (Israeli tank) on the third page of the unit graphics forum. Just thought you might want to know. I really like these static leaderheads. Where did you find these? Did you make them? I especially like the israelli and hitler one. Keep up the good work.

Thank you for the info about the tank, I'll check it out.

Glad you liked the 2D leaderheads. The leaderheads is a variety of selfmade and pure, simply copy and paste. Ben-Gurion of Israel is simply copied from the place I found him when searching with Google. Hitler is from a painting, but the background I made myself. Gerhardsen is a recolor from a black'n'white pressphoto from some speech in the '70's with a added background of the norwegian parliament.
Hope to achieve some high quality skinning work on the 3D leaderheads as well.

good luck with this.

As soon as i learn how to mod without crashing my game, i'll try a Warlords version.

Now I've got a working beta of this mod. I would like 4 or 5 people to help me test it out and check that everything is indeed in order. Tasks given the testers will be to play it through and also rewiev the citynames/position on the list and how UU's strenghts work out ( balancing ) as well as how the AI acts in accordance to reallife counterparts.

Betatesters will receive the mod wednesday or thursday and I'd give them a week to check it out. After that I will add 3D leaderheads and possibly some more polished skins for the UU.
Then the mod will be released in the first week of november.

Betatesters can send a message to:

Jorrtappen@hotmail.com

Note: If a lot of people apply I will choose those with a specific knowledge of the civs in the mod.

MOD UPDATE:

The 3D heads are now complete, and there is just finetuning the mod left.

Will release soon

A quick update:

Real life has interfered in the work. Real life as in evening shifts at work. This means a slight delay. The mod is complete enough, yet the lack of response for betatesters makes me the tester. A few more evenings without any bugs and I declare myself pleased and release it. Probably early next week.

Finally. After to much delay I release Jorrtapp's Mod.

It gives you Norway, Israel and the Nazi's ( Third Reich )
The mod has full civilopedia entries, 3D leaderheads, unique units and an AI that suits the leaders.

Please report any bugs ( should be weeded out by now ) to jorrtappen@hotmail.com together with a screenshot.
Other comments welcome as well.

Seems to me that it would not work out by adding it as an attachment.
Probably due to size. It is only 3500 kb.
Can anybody please help me????

Until the problem is solved you can get it by mailing me at:

jorrtappen@hotmail.com

and simply asking for it.

OK!

put this in your first post please

Jorrtappen,

Could you post the Norway flag dds and button dds? I've downloaded the mod, but its file extension is ".7z" and I can't decompress it.

Thanks!
Spocko

When I reach 325AD (playing as Israel) my game crashes to the desktop with no error message.

Does anyone know what could be causing this or how to fix it?

I am having a problem getting this mod to function. i extracted it to the file as was specified in the readme file, but i can't seem to find any new options when loading the game. i am runninig the most up to date version (1.61 i believe). can anyone shed some light on this for me?

OK. For the questions:

CTD with Israel.

I've got no clue. Did not happen in betatesting. Does this happen everytime, and is there something particular that is about to happen with Israel the next turn?

7z download.
