Rise of the Pasha [K-Mod]
”Contrary to the claims of many who mistakenly believe that all Muhammad Ali's reforms revolved around a single axis -- the army -- in fact all the activities of the pasha, including his military projects, revolved around an entirely different axis, which was to build the nation.” – Mohamed Fouad Shukri

“Muhammad Ali Pasha al-Mas'ud ibn Agha was an Albanian commander in the Ottoman army, who became Wāli, and self-declared Khedive of Egypt and Sudan. Though not a modern nationalist, he is regarded as the founder of modern Egypt because of the dramatic reforms in the military, economic and cultural spheres that he instituted. He also ruled Levantine territories outside Egypt. The dynasty that he established would rule Egypt and Sudan until the Egyptian Revolution of 1952.” – Wikipedia

This is my first game with the K-Mod, which includes several reported enhancements to the AI's behaviours and edits to the rules. As noted by one CivFanatic, they felt that they needed to drop from their usual Immortal difficulty level to Emperor to accommodate for these changes ... the same therefore has been done here. Karadoc, the author of the mod, has made 'a host' of additional tweaks in a multitude of areas. Installation of the mod seemed straightforward, however the BUG-like user interface will require Ctrl-Alt-O to get up.
In terms of the theme, there was room to 'really go to town' on a variety of aspects in this Nineteenth Century modernisation of Egypt; the oppressive tax structure, the management of the cotton trade, and the widespread use of forced labour to name but a few. In light of the installation of K-Mod however, the variants have been reduced to just a couple.

If you are running short on people, then count me in but life will get busy the coming months with my job. Good luck.
