MOD: America mod

Ok, this is a 16-nation America mod pack. The nations are: France, England, Russia, Spain, Portugal, Holland, Vikings, Aztecs, Mayans, Incas, Iroquois, Cherokees, Apaches, Sioux, Eskimos, and USA. The readme.txt is in the zip.

For France, England, Spain, and Holland, the cities are straight from the old Colonization game with some additions. Russia has Alaskan cities, and Portugal - Brazilian. Vikings are a straight copy from Civ 2. Cherokee cities are tribe names from the US Southeast and Apache cities are tribes spliced with towns on current Apache reservations. Eskimo cities are Alaskan cities with large native populations.

To handicap the Aztecs, Incas, and Mayans, they don't have any horse units; instead they have two special units each. To handicap the Cherokees, Apaches, Sioux, Eskimos, they only have one attribute bonus each. Eskimos don't have any horse units either.

I would disable the indiginous civs further to give it more of a "colonial" flare to it. I saw another Mod where civs were disabled by having them never produce workers. This will leave the continent essentially in tact for the colonial powers and basically ensure that all of the native civs are "minor" players and eventually dominated by the colonial powers.. as they eventually were historically.

Except that the aztecs, mayans, and Inca's were KNOWN for their extensive road networks and agriculture. That would cripple them to much. The REAL big kicker was smallpox...and I'm not sure there's really a good way to implement that in the game.

Is There Any specific folder i need to put a modpack in once i dwonload it for it to work?

Unzip into the root civ folder, run amerunits.bat once. Full instructions in readme.txt

Just uploaded version 1.1. I gave each European nation 3 starting techs instead of 2 (maybe it should be 4...) and they also have 3 attributes (one of which is always expansionist).
