The Fatimids will probably be a conditional spawn, the Seljuks a barb wave into Turkey that'll make sure Turkey spawns (Turkey will be conditional too- it'll only spawn if Turkey is Indie or Barb- aka, Seljuk)
I really dont think thats a good idea. If u were to implement conditional spawns almost half the civs in the game wud be conditional. On the same basis America and Dutch should be conditional too. And on close inspection it wud turn out that most of European civs would be conditional too. That means that European Civs should only spawn if the barbarians (germanic tribes) conquer those territories from the Romans. We wud not have France, Austria, Spain and England if it wasnt for the germanic tribes settling there. The same is true for the Ottomans.
I understand ur concern if u dont want the game to be too deterministic. And that can be achieved with a balance. Instead of having a Turkey that spawns with cities in Crimea, Armenia, Balkans and Anatolia; u can just have a turkey which spawns with cities in Anatolia. This allows the game not be too deterministic but at the same time historically accurate. The same could be true for the Fatimids.
As far as Central Asia is concerned, cud u consider representing them with a broad civ (like the Celtics) that have dynamic name change. These empires would serve 3 puposes:
1) Destabalize the Byzantines and Arabs (which last way too long).
2) Make room for the Safavids and Ottomans.
3) Give the region its share of civilizations.
A Seljuk/Timuid Civ would do alot better of a job than barbarian wud ever do.
Doesn't really matter. A civ of your choosing.Back from my semi-hiatus of the forums, and I see the first release is up. Anything specifically that I should test? or should I just go do some game of a Civ of my choosing?
recapAs I said, I have finished fixing this, and the fixed file will be uploaded soon.
Looks goodrecap
Coffee
Starts in Ethiopia, either from start or 1100 AD
1)1400: Coffee spread to Yeman
2)1500: Coffee spread to Northern Syria
3)1670: Coffee spread to South Western India (Malabar)
4)1690: Coffee spreads to Java
5)Martinique ~1720
6)2-3 in Brazil ~1820
7)1850- Coffee spread to Colombia and Central America (dropped Vietnam because that is very recent)
10-11
Cuba from start
1550- Spread to Virginia and Brazil

3-6
Now for Tea
1) 2 Tea resources in Southern China from start
2) India (Assam) 700 BC
3) 1 spread in Thailand/Vietnam region in 500 BC
4) Korea 660 AD

7) Tea spread to East Africa 1700 AD
8) India (West Bengal) ~1840 AD
9) Ceylon ~1867
10) Iran 1900 AD
We can easily replace with one another becuz of 2 reasons:
1) all are luxury resources
2) they provide similar boosts (mostly gold with maybe one hammer or one food)
@ Adrien: could u help figure out more of these unforseen consequences so they can be solved.Beware of the unforeseen consequences
For example with the dutch UHV asking you to have 7 spice ressources.
Is India still starts on Dilli in Ancient Age here ?
I've got a solution, I think, using the 'Various resources' mod..
At ancient age, India starts near the Indus river..
to the east of the Indus river, cities like what now is Colcatta etc is filled with Jungle, and as era increased, the Jungle are gone and can be settled there..
what do you think ?
It's one of the idea I thought I'm going to sent you via PM as I stated in the citynamemanager development thread but I think its better to be publicly known so well Everybody can give response haha
