I think the early units look too Aboriginal. They should look Caucasian. Australian Aboriginals are their own civ, but the Australia we know is mostly white.

would that be my Curtin your using?

Yes, but the primary reason I did Oz is that I had these cool Aborigine early units, real Aussi modern units and LHs. Once enough art is available for both, I'll consider separating them, but to be honest I like it this way, it's an interesting civ this way. (not saying it wouldn't be if separated...)

Yep, credits updated!

Glad to see you like my Boxing Kangaroo flag.

The Capo · Apr 30, 2009

Yes, Madman made all of the buttons and flags for Australia so he should be credited as well.

avain · Apr 30, 2009

Thanks, credits updated

Looks great but the medieval units seem kinda out of place... it would be pretty awesome to see Knights replaced by Ned Kelly style bushrangers or something! Macemen could be convicts wielding their ball & chains? Pikemen could be goldrush era miners armed with shovels & pick axes?

updated to v1.1

Very nice, you're on a roll today! I installed it and it looks as good as the screenshots

I'm going to give Australia a play for my next game.

Completely and Fundamentally disagree!!!

As a proud Aussie, and someone who has at least some understanding of Australian History, I can say unequivocally that what Avain's done here is completely appropriate, much more representative than the idea of an Aboriginal Civ, and is basically made of Win and Awesome!

There were literally hundreds of different language groups used by native Australians, and many hundred different major tribal groups. The concept of Australian Aboriginals as one group is, you'll find, a European concept, adopted by indigenous Australians simply because culturally, socially, economically and politically all of these different tribes have been impacted by the same issues following European settlement of Australia, so it makes sense in an official capacity to address those issues collectively.

I've always hoped someone would develop an Australian unit set which represented a combination of the two previously developed civs.... Well Done, Avian... DLing for QC right now!!!

The Capo · Sep 17, 2009

This was something I had thought of for medieval era for a possible Jamaican civ; since the civ in question (in this case Australia, in my case Jamaica) didn't have a "medieval period" to speak of perhaps you should use the pirate units to represent the medieval soldiers, I am thinking of doing this for Jamaica since it was a notorious Pirate hang-out and since Australia was once a penal colony this could represent that aspect of its history. Just an idea though.

And I am not trashing the medieval set here at all, a lot of them I used in my original Australia module... in fact I think that's where the flags came from... and the UU... and a lot of those units... and that UB... :mischief:

That's correct. And I can't wait for your new version to rip more units and graphics

Glad to oblige, but it will be a couple of months until I get around to updating Australia. I have to finish the mod first.

MadmanOfALeader · Sep 18, 2009

Well, I find no explanation to why units the units would change race.

Like your idea of black pirates for the West Indies civ, Capo.

I'm sure you won't get an explanation, its all preference at work here.

avain · Sep 20, 2009

Preference it is.
