Ethnic Diversity for Civilization V
v29
by Nutty
(Made with R.E.D. technology)

Adds lots of new unit models for diversity. Gameplay is not changed in any way.

I may be making an update soon that will incorporate most of his changes, but for now I suggest you use Dolen's Ethnic Diversity instead:

​
I'm resurrecting this mod as the beta of my latest homage to Gedemon's illustrious R.E.D. Modpack and all of the artists who make units here at CivFanatics.

I know it's been a long time coming, and the audience may have shrunk quite a bit now that Civ6 has been released, but real life happens. In the meantime, I did make lots of changes; quite a bit of it was behind the scenes and allow me (and potentially you!) an easier time comparing and changing the various settings, but there's still lots for you, the user.

You'll need 2 mods: the Ethnic Diversity Unit Pack (with all the art) and one Ethnic Diversity mod for adding the art defines. The Unit Pack must be enabled first before you can enable Ethnic Diversity (vanilla scale) ... or one of the alternate scaling mods [coming soon?] I've planned at least 6 scaling options (from smallest to largest: Xtreme, R.E.D., vanilla, Fewer Unit, Reduced Unit, Single Unit Large, and Single Unit Small; and I've left two additional slots for further scaling options in the future).

NEW: The optional Unit Pack for Mods gives a little extra unit variation for the following mods:
  • Prehistoric Era Reborn
  • Renaissance Era Revised
  • Enlightenment Era
  • Future Worlds
  • Vox Populi [in progress]
* Note: I've ensured the supercarriers used in for Future Worlds also work with Units - Super Carrier by whoward69 or Supercarrier by swatmp5

* * *

For the brave souls out there:
Spoiler Advance Testing :
Feel free to try out the mods under testing [new link coming soon?], and give me a list of issues.

Better yet, if you have a recent version of Microsoft Excel, you can dive in and play with the exporter and try making fixes for yourself and others. If that sounds fun to you, the GitHub repository can be found here, and the "Units List" tab of newunits.xlsm is your ticket to a world of over 2000 rows of pure spreadsheet imagination. I warn you from looking at the mess that is the macros though, as it appears I must have created them in a fever dream (and forgot how to put in comments). I'm surprised any of it works at all.

Era Variation (with embarked unit diversity) is a separate mod but will be integrated soon once the kinks are worked out.

The Unit Tester mod lets you test a lot of units all at once, but you may not want to activate it with too many civs on the map or it might crash CiV.
