Wow another great civ there ElGrillo! :goodjob: I don't suppose I can talk you into joining the EBCIV project? With the way your skills are developing you would make some of those factions absolutally rock!:goodjob:
 
oh thanks! I had a look at the project. I can see what can I do to help

When your ready to get started send me a pm with what faction you want to work on. ( Take a look at the list and see what tickles your fancy) I will lend you what ever help you need. UU's, city lists, leader info, research help. I'm always just a p.m away. Also take a look at the main EB site, the faction pages on there are a gold mine of info open to you to use aswell. The link is in the main EBCIV announcement thread. Hope to hear from you soon! :goodjob:

Nice, the Messapians were most likely the first Illyrian settlers of the Italian peninsula, and spoke a language believed to have originated from the Illyrian language.

The civ was well thought out and looks pretty cool, but I would suggest a more colorful icon for the UU. Also, the civ is slightly overpowered as it starts out with a technology that isn't a tier 1 tech, and it has a second UB (a better Great Wall).
 
thanks for reporting, maybe I can cut the extra 10%, so the Threshold will be at the same level of the great wall. They were considered overprotective so I thought it was a good idea. For the tech I followed the historical notions, as they were considered excellent horse-people, animal husbandry was due as they used to breed horsed too.

And yes, the UU icon need achange. It's the only pic I found so I'm searching for better ones or an ingame image will be used ;)
