Modders needed for a fictional Civ 5 game.

[TimGB]

Hi,

We at the CBR Battle Royale (https://www.reddit.com/r/CBRBattleRoyale/) have run into a brick wall. We have all the logos, civ designs and concepts ready, but none of us actually know how to mod Civ 5. If you are a modder, we need you!

For those who are unaware, the CBR Battle Royale is a fictional AI game where users come up with fantasy countries, then we make them into civs and put them against each other, writing lore about them as the game progresses. Some civs are serious and feel like real nations,while others are incredibly weird and wacky. Everyone can compete in this fantasy universe.

The idea started when the r/Civ Battle Royale was delayed for a while. Tpangolin was declared dead (not really of course), and various other users laid claims to his 'throne'. Basically it started out as a CBR game of thrones, and when Tpang eventually returned, we already had a full on game planned, and so it continued. Sadly, the first game crashed beyond repair, and so the final lore was continued by the people alone, while a second game was prepared.

The second game has lost a few people but brought a bunch more in. Unfortunately, amongst those that left were all of our modders, and so we are stuck. The game has been stagnant for a while now as we've tried and failed to get the final bits sorted. If you want to help, please do. We'll take anyone with any modding experience.

Cheers,

Tim.

Well then maybe'd you know that moddering is quite alot of work and requesting it is not the best idea (plus, I know some sites arn't found of recruitment calls)

Free time is sparse for most of us, and asking of people's time for something that IS gonna take alot of time isn't worth it with dedication. Unless your paying I don't think it'll work.

The only real suggestion I can give is to learn to mod yourself, I mean if you got the assets, just install the Civ 5 SDK and uses presets you can find online, there's a good one around here that has the xml files for the Vanilla Civs in the game.

Suggest you post them into the "Civilization Design Resources" (Post design ideas for civilizations here - or requests for civilization designs. Experienced modders - please feel free to use the designs herein to create the proposed civilization.) sub-forum then and hope for the best.

However, be aware, that most modders on here seem to be in wind-down mode awaiting CivVI and/or busy with their own stuff.

Sure shoot me up the concepts and I'll see if it's doable or not.

Thank you so much!!

Here are the uniques: https://www.reddit.com/r/CBRBattleR...the_complete_the_comprehensive_the_very_very/

If any of these are too complicated we'll be happy to change them to something simpler.

I've also attached half the logos, and I'll attach the others in a follow up post. They are in png format, is that the format you need?

The other 10 logos are here:

Just so you know I'm doing concepts, not civilizations. Meaning I can code the UA, UU and UB's abilities, but that's all I'm willing to do(meaning the logos aren't needed because I'm not making civilizations here).

Most, if not all seems doable. Although some of the complex ones such as

UA: Glory to the State: Cities founded cannot be converted to a non Hayastani religion. Internal trade routes provide double effects. +1 faith per 4 citizens, and units may be purchased with faith.

will require Community Patch DLL. There are a lot more that can be easily done with Community Patch DLL, but that depends on your preference.

 

[TimGB]

Alright that's fine. We'll try and learn how to do the other bits ourselves.

I don't think there'll be a problem using the community patch, since the civs are only really designed to be played against each other.

Other advice is to listen to the feedback on that reddit post as well

Sound of the Wild UA completed.
The Horde Ascendant UA tweaked and completed: Each Mounted and Armored Unit yield +1 Culture. Strategic Horse and Oil Resources are tripled.
Entertainment Enthusiasts UA completed.

There's a lot more to do I know(I'll probably expect I might finish all of this by next month or so? varying whether or not you got someone to make the civilizations so I feel more rushed), but I have little free time.

Providing pre-made graphical assets is gonna make it that much easier for many of us, so thanks for that.

Thanks for helping with this! I too have very little free time (indeed much less than I thought I had when writing this post), so there is no rush.
