But it's still closer to his time. And emphasizes the probable focus. Obviously, the ideal solution is for a unique City List, which maintains these aspects, but it would make more sense to go with Theodora, as Constantinople will most likely be the capital - ergo, less work
No, not definitely. It depends highly upon my focus. Constantinople is Constantine's most prominent legacy, and if I can't allow the player to re-create that legacy, I'd like to uphold it myself (similar thing with the Turks - the capital isn't Istanbul, because I want to player to create Istanbul for themselves, as faciliated by Mehmed's design).

Damn, the one time I could theoretically help out and it's something I'm terrible at. Hooray...

I've got an idea: see which cities Rome and Byzantium have in the Fall of Rome scenario and make the list based on that. I'm not entirely sure Firaxis's chose the most important cities, but it should at least help.

One thing is certain, stronk Eboracum should certainly be in his city list
Both are close to his time, as he ruled the entire empire. Fouding Constantinople does not make him an eastern Roman emperor, I admittedly get very annoyed when people imply so when discussing Constantine. Which is why I was triggered into stopping lurking to post now.
While a new city list do would be the best choice, I only contest that Byzantium's city list would fit more than Rome's. The Roman city list ignores much of the empire outside Italy, yes, but that makes sense as it is above all a Roman Civilization and Italy is its birthplace. So it is a non-arbitrary restriction to the scope of that city list that makes very much sense. The Byzantine city list however is ill-suited for a full roman empire as it blatantly ignores half of the empire Constantine ruled in an arbitrary way, as at the time of Constantine there was no disparity between eastern and western halves.Obviously, the ideal solution is for a unique City List, which maintains these aspects, but it would make more sense to go with Theodora, as Constantinople will most likely be the capital - ergo, less work
Like...
Making a Russian civ and only including Novgorod's city list.

I wasn't implying that. I was merely conceding to the point that Theodora's city list would make more sense, based upon the knowledge that Theodora's time is closer to Constantine's, and the assumption that it would therefore include a more accurate representation of what cities were called then (even if omitting the West). Admittedly, however, I thought Theodora was from the 400s, so you're right, they are both roughly equal in time, so maybe cities stayed the same.
Fair enough. I took the first answer I got, simply because I have not given the matter much thought nor research, and so I assumed anyone would know better than I, but that was certainly irresponsible. So Augustus it is unless someone wishes to offer an equally compelling counter-argument.

I googled around for maps of Constantine's empire to get city names from and got these from all around the empire (maps used are listed at the end, since I didn't list everything):

I'd say that Thessalonica, Palmyra, Carthage, Nicomedia, Syracuse and Athens.

I've probably given it even less thought and research
; I was just thinking it would be weird for Constantine to lack Constantinople in his list.Yay, an actual non-copied city list! If I were to make adjustments, I'd change the spelling of Nicea to Nicaea (since that's how it's spelled in Theodora's list, and otherwise there could be two cities with slight variants of the same name), and Cordova to Corduba (Cordova is an old anglicization of the Spanish form of the name; Corduba is the Latin form that the Spanish derives from).

Maps lied to me, lol.
I took the names at random, too, so the order might use a little tweaking, even.

I can't seem to open the production queue when I start a new game. Only using the mods you have listed as supported. Otherwise, I haven't had this issue before. Great work by the way!

This sounds like one of us should go to a library and do actual research

Venerable Lee, is there anything else that I should support, other than Civilization Appropriate Great General and Admiral? I cannot support this one, as I do not want my mods to throw 50 'this column does not exist' exceptions. Maybe seek out the Pope Gazebo on adding this column into the CP?
EDIT: Right, so I've had to think about how I'm going to do Events support for CP: Events. I can't add the Events into the civs themselves, as there are things that I need in the Events Compendium mod that I'll be releasing soon-ish, but I also couldn't realistically add a reference to all 50+ civs of mine in the Events Compendium in order to only add the events when, for instance, Constantine was active. So what I'm going to do is allow civ-specific events to trigger normally if that civ mod isn't active - but when it is, the chance of that event triggering will be increased.
I have also begun work on Constantine so that it will work with Randomized Unique Components (or whatever its called) - assuming I set everything up correctly. The CP should alleviate any performance detriment that comes with the switch-over... I hope...

I'm playing as Iceland and having a lot of fun, but there seems to be an issue where the game stutters and hangs up when you enter the city screen of a city with a Thingstead. I had a similar issue with More Civilizations' Three Affiliated Tribes, so I think it's something to do with the little hover-over info box in the top left of the city screen. Any ideas as to what my problem is? If not, how would I go about taking that feature out of Iceland?
In any case, thanks for the continued work. Love pretty much everything you've released!

Yeah, that can cause stutters, depending upon your system, how many mods you're running which use the same thing, etc. As it's Sukritact's creation, I'm not really sure what can be done to improve performance. I think as I go through and update my civs over the coming months, I'll add an easy-to-use switch so that you can turn it on/off as you need. In the meantime, though, just delete the folder called 'Sukritact's Modular City Info Stack,' which is located here: Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 5\MODS\JFD's the Commonwealth of Iceland\Lua

lurking in the shadows; I'm at home so I'm a little busier than I usually am at uni (hmm that doesn't sound right at all). at least, during the day anyway. No more lounging around watching daytime tv and browsing the forum on the governments dime.
Why?
