I love this version of the Zulu. All the anniversary civs you have done are fantastic.

Hi all! I've released a redesign of the Purépecha; this redesign also changes the civ icon, and renames the civ to the Tarascans, in order to better reflect the civ's emphasis on the Tarascan empire rather than the modern Purépecha ethnic group. Check out the update on Steam, or here on Civfanatics!
(I've also released minor updates/patches to Ayutthaya, the Chamorro, the Fatimids, the Gaels, both Holy Roman Empires, the Omagua, Rashtrakuta, and Sokoto. The rest of these shouldn't change anything notable, they're just minor bugfixes.)

Happy Halloween, everyone! You've probably heard about how the introduction of the horse transformed the Great Plains of North America, but did you know that it had similar effects in South America? Check out the Guaycuru and become the terror of the Gran Chaco for yourself!
(In other news, I've also patched a bug with Cetshwayo's UB.)

I like this one. I love how this allows me to learn about cultures I have never learned of before.

Hi everyone! For this next release, I've joined forces with ExplosiveWatermelon to shine a light on Estonia's very own Vikings— the Oeselians under Vesse!

Good evening, everyone! For this next release, I've circled back to Australia to bring you all the Ngarrindjeri confederacy, based along the lower Murray River. They're led by Ngurunderi, a culture hero of theirs who, according to legend, carved out the course of the river in ancient times.

Some awesome new civs here. Pretty cool to see a civ representing Estonia, or a new Aborigine civ. Thankyou for making these! What other things you have considered for new civs? I love the variety

Merry Christmas, everyone! Today I'm bringing you all Bolivia, under its four-time president Victor Paz Estenssoro— the man who nationalized the mines, privatized the mines, empowered the army, disempowered the army, and overall had an incredibly long and versatile political career! Check it out:

As always, thank you for continuing to follow— it's great to know that, ten years out from release, people are still interested in seeing what us modders are up to.
One thing I've been considering lately is the Merovingian Franks, led by Clovis; the late antique/early medieval period is one of my favorite historical eras, and within that period, the Merovingians interest me a lot and I'm shocked that they haven't been adapted into a civ already. Beyond that, I'm not totally sure— I'm between projects right now, so I'll probably end up doing some reading and seeing what captures my interest :b

Sounds good! Some civs that are being worked on(units, cities etc in the Civ4 community) include Micronesia(with the mythical/mystical elements of Nan Madol thrown in), and Urartu, the Hittites greatest rival. Some ideas there, I don't think either are in Civ5 either. I know Gedemo made a Nan Madol civ awile back, but its gone.

Take a trip out to Central Africa and check out the Kingdom of Luba under Ilunga Sungu! The Luba were masters of both short- and long-distance trade— they monopolized the salt, iron, and copper in their region, while also establishing commercial connections with the Atlantic and Indian Oceans alike. They were also passionate about oral history, with a secret society— the mbudye— dedicated to preserving and sharing their empire's historical memory.

This is an interesting one. Of Africa this one is interesting. A secret storytellers society. Certainly something new! I definitely need to learn more of africa. Specifically central and southern...Definitely not all hut dwelling Zulu types. Kingdom of Kongo for one, or Zimbabwe

I have to say not only do I love your civs, I learn something. Cultures and things I never would have heard of otherwise. Thankyou good sir

We're headed to Europe for this one! Between his conversion to Catholicism, his codification of Salic law, and his division of his inheritance among his sons, Clovis the Great has had a profound impact on Western European history and culture. Check him out on Steam, and try to match his impact in the world of Civ!

Clovis founded the kingdom of the Franks and that was what it remained as until it was renamed by Phillip Augustus during the crusader era. A good addition Tophat

The Hohokam culture, ancestors of the modern Pima and Tohono O'odham peoples, are a culture that spread throughout the Sonora Desert for almost 1500 years! They're most famous for the network of irrigation canals that they dug through the desert. Check them out in Civ!

A really great addition. Thankyou for making these guys I always thought that region was under-represented. I believe the Hohokam culture and people were related to those in Mesoamerica?
TopHatPaladin
Warlord
I'm not sure if there was a direct relation, but they definitely traded a lot with Mesoamerica— that's where the Hohokam got a lot of their staple crops. This trade also led to some cultural crossover, such as Hohokam's adoption of Mesoamerican-style ball games.

Hi all! Those of you who've been watching the Steam Workshop might have noticed the recent releases that we modders have been doing to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Civilization franchise.
My own contribution recently came out— the Aztec Empire under Tlacaelel, a longtime advisor to the throne. Tlacaelel helped expand the scale of human sacrifice under the Aztecs, and pioneered the ritualized "flower wars" from which the Aztecs captured many of their sacrificial victims.
When Tlacaelel is active, Montezuma's unique ability also changes to the following:
This rework of Montezuma is also compatible with the Montezuma rework that's bundled with Itzcoatl's Aztecs. In fact, I recommend using both reworks together— they're designed to synergize with each other!
