[BNW] [WIP] Stygian Empire - A Hyborian Age Civ

[Wololo_Priest]

Hello civfanatics community!

I’m relative new in modding Civ V. My first finished civ is the famous Stygian Empire – based on the Conan the Barbarian universe. Main aim will be a hole Hyborian Age scenario. The Hyborian Age is a fantasy stone age with great and powerfull civlizations like Stygia, Cimmeria or Aquilonia.

Information:

Civ: Stygia
Leader: City of Khemi (yes, not a single Person but a hole city!)
Trait: Sacrifice for Set
Units: „Stygian Charriot“ and „Tower of the Serpent“
Extras: Own Music Pack and DoM Speech from the famous Movie „Conan the Barbarian“.

At the moment the Stygian Empire civ is in beta phase. 99% of the things are done, I just have to create a new trait for the leader.

I have three questions:

1.) Trait: At the moment the Stygian trait is the same like from the aztecs – getting culture for killing units. I’m not happy with this. The Idea is, that if you disband your own workers you will get 50 (or more/less) culture. Background: Stygia is famous for human sacrifice for their dark God Set. Is it possible with xml-codes? Have you maybe even a better idea for a good trait?

2.) Diplomatic Response: I’m not sure but the first greeting doesnt work. I don’t know why.

3.) Ethnic Units: I want to have Ethnic Units for the ancient and classic era: Archer, Composite-Bowman, Horseman, Spearman and Swordsman. The models are from danrell. I don’t want to use R.E.D.Mod. Can I create a own version without sql-files? I don’t know how to start.

I have uploaded the mod. Pls don‘t uploaded it on other sides etc. as your own.


Uplodes: Mod, pictures and map.



PS: I creat a own Hyboria world map, based on the original Civ4 map created by strategyonly.

EDIT: I uploaded some xml files.

INSERT INTO Diplomacy_Responses (LeaderType, ResponseType, Response, Bias)
VALUES ('LEADER_TRL_WHOMP_KING', 'RESPONSE_FIRST_GREETING', 'TXT_KEY_LEADER_TRL_WHOMP_KING_FIRSTGREETING%', 500);

Even though this is SQL, you should be able to 'translate' it into XML. (Taken from my Whomp's Fortress mod).

The problems you had:
- No bias was defined (make it sth like 500 so it always appears), so that the game doesn't choose a generic response for w/e reason
- Incorrect responseType. RESPONSE_FIRST_GREETING1 doesn't exist, only RESPONSE_FIRST_GREETING does (without the number behind it). If you want multiple lines to pick from, that's what you use the % sign for in the Response column. E.g. The game can pick any response starting with TXT_KEY_LEADER_TRL_WHOMP_KING_FIRSTGREETING in the example I gave.
