Yes, we have native Indians! USA has the Iroquois, Brazil has the Tupis!

Hi all! Here come the characteristics of my second Civ project: The Tupis.

- Fell history: The Tupis are the most important race of the Brazilian native Indians. The Jês, Karibs and Aruaks are other important races. All them have too many divisions, the Tupis, exampling, are divided between Guaranis, Tabajaras, Tamoios and dozens of another tribes. The Tupi groups are linked by the language, societal organization and some cultural tracks. They inhabited the South America coats and some parts of the interior, they have borders with the Jês and other native races. Today, Brazil has 350.000 native Indians, they live in small villages inside the forest, protected by government laws or in big cities. 500 years ago, before the Portuguese and Europeans conquests theirs land, they were more then 5 million, just on nowadays Brazilian territory.

- Great Leader, title and name: Cacique Cunhambebe. The cacique are the most import person on Tupi society, they are the leaders of theirs tribes. Cunhambebe, cacique of the Tamoios, fought against the Portuguese in XVI century, the biggest Indian strike against the abuses of the Europeans. He organized his tribe and allies to fight for freedom. This war happened in the coast of nowadays São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro states, the Tupis won the starting battles, but, after have signed a peace agreement, they were betrayed by the Colonists and destroyed.

- Bonuses: Agricultural (Tupis survive by agriculture, fishing and hunting) and Militaristic (the war is a holy tradition on theirs culture). In spite of the peaceful way of live, Tupis concern with theirs warriors.

- Unique Unit: Tamoios (replace standard archer, 02 moves by turn, instead 01). The Tamoio warriors know theirs territory better then the Portuguese, so they can move faster and surprise the enemies.

- Noun: Tupi.

- Adjective: Tupis.

- Cultural group: American.

- Favorite / shunned governments: Despotism and Fascism. The Tupi society has one leader by village and they die by sadness when were slaved or incorporated in a society of the stronger State (like the Portuguese did), for these reasons, I chose Despotism and Fascism.

- Aggression level: 03 (moderate).

- Default / alternative colors: Dark Green and Light Green.

That’s all, I’m waiting for suggestions and doubts. If anyone has one, please, post. Oh, there is a file with the arts preview.

See you!

Sweet! I was gonna post a request for a Tupi city list, now I dont have to.

Thank you.

This file owns the 4 eras of the Cunhambebe leaderhead.

This file owns the first preview of the Tamio, Tupi UU.

Good city list... now, where did you get it from?

And is it accurate? Because as far as I know, Guarani was a name given to one group of indians from southern Brazil/Uruguay...


And is that UU going to appear in game as it is now, or will it be some kind of 3D model?

Some villages has the same name of the tribe, as Guarani. I copy this list from a governamental site and copleted it with some Internet research.
I never built a unit to Civ before, so I'm not sure how this work will be finished, but I'll try use some 3D effects, as I use on the picture of Tamoio. If you know some technics to build a UU, please, post.

As I can, I'll update more stuffs of the Tupis.

Daniel.

nice! i still know the Tupis from colonization . Good job!

Click to expand...

Well... my first suggestion would be to check the completed units section to see if any native american archer unit is already done, in which case I'll ask the creator for permission to use it as you Tupi UU

Otherwise you could also check some tutorials on how to make new 3D units for the game

I'll try post this weekend the animated version of Cunhambebe leaderhead, I found some file conversion difficults, as I said on "My first civ: The Brazilians" topic. I hope resolve them soon.

Now, I am amazed by your hard-work on making new civs... But although I congratulate you for a rather well-done research, I believe there is one mistake... Tupi and Guarani have diferent languages and cultures, although very close. They have the same root, but I wouldn't say they are the very same civ, although, for game porpouse, since we had no representation, that is rather fine.

As a matter of fact, i don't reckon much civilization in the american tribes, all of then. I believe the only civilizations in fact in america where Astecs, Incas and Mayans. But since they have an north american indian nation, why shouldn't we, right?

Civ´s army , just a thing. Correct me if i´m wrong , but the tamoios was one of the tribes who doesn´t made part of Tupi´s group;but , do what you find best.

I found on Internet sites informations saying that Tamoios and Guaranís are ethinical groups of Tupi root. I don't know if the sites are right, I belive they are, and have insufficient Knowledge about Native Indians to prove it.

Native American Civilizations had great potencial, an interesting scenerio would be the reverse of Age of Discovery, like what if the Azteks had invaded spain for instance.

Good work by the way. Found this thread on my own, glad I did.

Check http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?postid=1649966#post1649966 out to download Tupi Civilization!

First off CivArmy s. 1994, I want to thank you for your Tupi civilization City list, unique unit, and permission to use you civ in the NA mod.

The mod's new version is ready! It has lots of new tribes(complete with leaderheads!) and most importantly, your Tupi civ is in there!(Although with a different leaderhead)

I saw some images of this mod, it is one of the best mod ever done to Civilization 3. I'm glad to help done part of one of the Civs.
Sword, tell me all the links that I need use to download this mod.

Regards from Tupi lands!

I need alittle help though.

Its my shift with the mod, and I'm in the process of adding UU's for each Civ

The goal is about 2-3 for every civ.

I'm adding the Tamoio archer as one of the Tupi's unique units
But I need 1-2 more UU's for the Tupi civ. What are good choices for this?

Tupis had a small canoes that move quickly in the rivers and transport many natives, maybe this UU could replace Galley or Curragh and could transport more units then Galley. You can use the name "Canoa Tupi", that means Tupi Canoe in Portuguese, I don't know it name in Tupi linguage.
Another suggestion is a unit that use blade, maybe replace Spearmen. I suggest the name "Lanceiro Tupi", that means Tupi Spearmen in Portuguese, or "Lanceiro Tamoio", "Lanceiro Guaraní" (another important Tupi group as Tamoios) or "Lanceiros de Yperog" (name of the second city of the list)... This UU could be weaker then standard Spearmen, but use less shields to be done.

If you need more help, tell me!
