We set our sights on that setup.
I'd like HighwayHoss to be able to get his own civ ready first. I'd really like that in Version 10. He's on the... erm... Highway right now, but we'll see how far he has gotten on it when he gets back. It's going to be really good though.
Hidy Y'all. Highway Hoss coming to you from a Pilot T/S out near Tyler, Texas; I thought since I have Pilot Wireless I'd check in on what's going on and report on what I have done so far.
First of all, congrats on the subforum, Le Sage! and Welcome Everybody!
Second of all, I am working on a new Civ for the Fairy Tale Siberia area in the Northwest corner of the big map and I thought I'd give a few teasers on my Civ:
The Civ is called The Dominion of Vestalla; its main influences are a mix of Medieval England, the pre-Civil War Antebellum Southern US, and S.M. Stirling's fictional Domination of the Draka (without Slavery). It also has some elements from Ajidica's civ proposal mentioned in the main FT thread.
Basically the Vestallans started as a colony of the old Angleeye Kingdom that eventually became a self-governing Duchy; the Duchy was strongly influenced by King Gregory Lyssander's reign and established close ties with their parent kingdom. Things changed when the Dowager Queen took power and created the Collective; when she tried to absorb Vestalla, the Kingdom rebelled and fought the Collective ferociously, eventually forcing the Collective to recognize their independence (since the DQ wanted to focus on crushing the Eastern Civs instead). However recognizing the continuing threat of the Collective, the Dominion has vowed to destroy the Collective once and for all and re-establish the glory of Angleeye....I do have a more detailed history I am currently polishing.
Vestallans are a proud and aristocratic people who consider themselves the heirs of the old Angleeye Kingdom; they are tough and hardy. They combine a ruthless,cold-blooded pragmatism with a strong sense of duty. Militarily, they emphasize massed yeoman archers, tough Armored infantry and Fast hard hitting Cavalry (maybe bow armed).
Right now I have some reskinned units (I found some in the old Dragonia mod that were suitable) a history and a flag....I am looking at adding some Elephants (since there are some Ivory resources in the NW corner...maybe Ballista Elephants). I also have some leader pics from Le Sage.
Any suggestions welcome.
