Well, I am not going to do it with US, don't worry. Native nations deserve their own civs, and mixing them in a colonial civ is a blatant misrepresentation. My top priority (and mod project WIP) is China, of which thousand years of history can hardly be represented by a generic UA, and the UU...

No modern day politics, please.

Honestly I don't hate Yongle's ability Lijia, as it offers a unique playstyle based on building multiple tall cities. However, historically speaking, Lijia is neither designed by or exclusive to Yongle, while Yongle had more distinguished achievements: the Treasure Voyages of Zheng He, the...

The Chinese refer to both their civilization and country as "China", while using the term "dynasty (朝代)" to represent the ruling royal family of a time period, the reign of that ruling family, and sometimes the territory of that time period as well. Despite all dynasties consider themselves...

Modders like me have made multiple leaders from the same dynasty, like Liu Che (Han Wudi) and Liu Xiu (Han Guangwudi) from the Han Dynasty. The Great Wall would be UI for the Qin Dynasty. Other dynasties would have their own UI or UD. The Yuan Dynasty led by Kublai Khan, for example, would have...

I believe I have seen guides to allow Switch players to install PC mods. Maybe I could upload my mods to a dropbox or something like that so that non-Steam users could use. I am afraid I have to stick with dynasties in this case, or else people may get it mixed up with other civs. Any idea is...

Well, I have published quite a number of Chinese leader mods like Tang Taizong, Han Wudi and even Zhu Di the Yongle Emperor (he now acts as a persona of Firaxis Yongle), so they will fit into these dynasties. You may check my Steam Workshop if you are interested in more Chinese leaders. Wu...

As there are quite a number of Chinese leaders now, either by Firaxis or modders (like myself). I think it is time to jump out from the frame of "Dynastic Cycle, Crouching Tiger, Great Wall", and grant interesting abilities specific to dynasties. I suppose this concept is not limited to China...

I have voted for Han Wudi and Yongle Emperor. But should Han Wudi or Tang Taizong is chosen, let's hope they would do some history research before making the leader call themselves Han Wudi/Tang Taizong. It is their posthumous title/temple name, i.e. title given to these emperors after their...

Currently, player gets 1 Diplomatic Victory point by just voting the right resolution/target combo. I would like to adjust it, but I can't find the modifier or global parameter about it. (The other sources of Diplomatic Victory points are modified by...

I would like to add a leader trait that "Palace starts with a (specific) Great Work of Music". I would like to ask: 1. Is there any modifier that can grant specific great works directly? 2. If not, is it possible to give a specific great work to a leader through LUA? 3. Or is it possible to...
