Panamá For much of the second half of the Cold War, the Central American republic of Panama was ruled from the shadows by a brutal and effective spymaster and smuggler known as Manuel Noriega. From slum orphan to dictator, Noriega's rags-to-riches rise was fueled by double-dealing, backstabbing...

I've been digging into it a bit myself, but as far as I can tell a mod isn't able to update the font files, though I'd be be very happy to be proven otherwise! My hope is for a mod in this space to extend that support, but to do so I think it'll need three things: The files which need to be...

This will likely be because of the dds compression you're using - some formats need the file dimensions to be a multiple of 4 to compress, and don't work properly if that's not the case. It's only an issue for the 45 icon size usually, which is why it's working fine for the other areas but not...

There is! You've unfortunately got to replace the font files and can't easily do that through a mod, but having done it myself it does the trick. Check out this thread for more info and the new font files

The Lakota After the wars which established the Lakota as a renowned and saw the rise of names such as Sitting Bull, Red Cloud, and Crazy Horse, the time had come for peace. These negotiations, and the boom in trade which followed, called for a new chief to rise to the forefront - one which all...

Finland For centuries, what is now Finland has stood under the everwatching eyes of Russia, or has been subjected to the distant rule of other Scandinavian powers. In the wake of World War One, Finland finally threw off these shackles and stood at last on the world stage in its own right. The...

I would've thought that Exploration would be a better fit even beyond chronology - since the whole civ only exists because of exploration.

In the nicest possible way, this is a really poor take. Whaea Whina is actually a solid pick as a Māori leader given the wider interpretation Civ 7 is taking in that field: There wasn't a single Māori country / empire, rather Aotearoa was made up of several iwi (tribes). Having a prominent...

Taputapuātea would absolutely be a great choice for a wonder, but not for the Māori. Raʻiātea (where Taputapuātea is located) is ~3,700km away from New Zealand, and while it's one of the likely candidates for where Polynesian settlers set off from to get to New Zealand it doesn't really have...

Speaking for the Māori, there are a few potential things you could do. The most likely options are either something related to the Kiingitanga, such as Tuurangawaewae, or a specific Pā (but I'm not entirely sure which one would be best just yet. There's a few that are famous for battles, like...

Yeah, this should happen already - it's the same thing that keeps you moving down the city list instead of always founding cities with the same name as your capital

I would also strongly suggest looking at some of the wide range of modded civs out there to get an idea of how things should look - this is how I learnt to mod way back when and is a great way to get a feel for things (but obviously won't show some of the stuff that goes into building it!)...

Mysore Deep in the south of India once stood a proud kingdom that held its own against even the strongest of empires. Throwing off the shackles of their former Vijayanagaran overlords in the 16th century, Mysore grew rapidly, dominating its neighbours and defending against incursions. Its...

Delhi Long before the Mughals made their mark on India, a different band of invaders from the steppe conquered their way across the subcontinent and brought it to heel. The Delhi Sultanate rules vast swathes of India from the northwest, extending their reach to the Deccan in the south and Bengal...
