East Asia Mod (download below!)
http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=274281
I'd like to host a PBEM game with the East Asia Mod by Yoda Power. Looking for anyone interested in joining. The map has 21 civilizations and I'd like to fill about 10 of those with human.
Looking for players to take Chinese and Indonesian cultures!
The East Asia Mod isn't necessarily complete, the thread says it's still in testing (I believe the modder actually abandoned the project). The mod is indeed missing pretty much all civilopedia articles and a few building graphics. There's no guarentee on how balanced it is so I guess that's something that we'll find out.
That being said, I retain a high opinion of the mod. It's made by Yoda Power. Anyone familiar with his work knows the maps he uses are absolutely perfect. The mod features many Asian cultures; Indian, steppe/nomadic, Chinese, Japanese, Southeastern and Indonesian. Wholly remade tech tree spans thousands of years of development from the initiation of agriculture to the climax of Asias last great dynastic empire. Cultures and Dynasties of all regions are pretty well represented considering the situation. Many unique flavors, units, buildings, technologies, and governments are distributed among the culture groups (not too many though). If you are not familiar with the mod I do recomend downloading it and checking it out.

If you're interested in joining say which civ you want to play as. The civilizations are (in order of player number):
Looking for players to take Chinese and Indonesian cultures!
Jin - 1 - TomYo689
Ming - 2
Song - 3
Qin - 4
Nanzhao - 5
Nam Viet - 6
Yuezhi - 7
Tibet - 8 - Glasnot
Nippon - 9 - Bengal Tiger
Kara Khitai - 10
Timurids - 11
Kambujadesa - 12
Burma - 13 - Tasonne
Sri Vijaya - 14
Majapahit - 15
Indus - 16 - Elephantium
Mongols - 17 - RickFGS
Mughals - 18
Maurya - 19
Vijayanagara - 20
Goreyo - 21 - Princeof Persia
The central Asia nomads are probably the easiest positions to play. They have good land, good governments, and good units. The 3 chinese options get powerful unique units fast. Anyone playing as China can and needs to start fighting fast. Indians have it a bit more relaxed as they have room to grow. India is probably a standard level to play at. Certain countries that start with agriculture tech (Burma, Vietnam) have a huge starting bonus because of the extra food. The archipelago civilizations have probably the most interesting spot. There's a lot of islands and a lot of different boats to choose. Japan is perfect for the kind of player who likes a big isolated island to himself.
Also take note: settlers can't walk on mountains, warriors have 2 defense, different cultures have access to different techs, can't build mines on grassland or plains, victory condition is 20% of land & 70% of population or culture victory. Probably going to do accelerated production please comment your opinion on AC.
