CitystyleModMod for FFH

CitystyleModMod for FFH​

Are you one of those who play FFH more for the lore and the graphics then strategy and actually winning the game? If so, this graphical mod might be something for you!
CitystyleModMod alters all the citystyles of all the civilizations, for example, the balseraphs got a more "carneval crazy looking style", the elves got treetop villages and so on...
This mod also changes the town,enclave,farm and some mine improvements to fit the citystyles..

Note! This is a graphical mod that doesn´t alter gameplay in any way.

seems awesome, great job man!

Very nice. Downloading now. Just one question, are the art defines included as a whole, or different files for individual civs (aka, would I also be able to merge it into orbis or FF that have new civs that aren't on your list).

looks really nice!

Come to think about it, No... Installing this modmod into FF or orbis would problably cause those new civs to have no cityset graphics showing up at all, and would probably CTD when trying to build farms and some other improvements..

To fix this, you would need to add the artstyle of the new civs to the Civ4PlotLsystem.xml and Civ4CityLSystem.xml files. This might be a bit tedious though..
It´s not impossible that I might do a FF or Orbis version in the future...

awesome!!!

Can this mod work for FFH2 as well?

Wow, this is amazing and I can see all of the work that you put into this. Could I please use this in Rise of Darkness

It is a modmod designed for FFH so yes, it works
You should be able to play it with FFH2 if you follow the install instructions, but remember to make a copy of all the original xml and art files you replace with the mod files..

Sure, go ahead, I'll be glad if it's put to use...

OMG

for how long did you work on this mod??

it must be for a long time - it's really great!!

Awesome mod!

Freya thank you so much. I can really get into the game now... Looks awesome!

Thanks everybody,
yes, it took awhile to do it, about a year or so since i didn't have any experience with blender or photoshop before i started and never heard about the nifviewer program...
I'm happy if you all like it!

I love the Clan and Elf styles. Mind if I use them?

Realistically, you don't. Unless you really know what you're doing, the neccessary files are such a pain in the ass that you just don't want to touch it... I tend to avoid them like the plague if possible.

Not only is it tedius abd difficult, you can't really use winmerge for it... Liable to screw up the FF(Plus) civs.

That said, I plan on merging at least a few if these... Although not necessarily for the same civs as used here.
