Good job :gj:

Hello there neighbours

Yep, for over 20 years IIRC. As a flavor in a cold war scenario they would be nice for Finns, but I doubt anyone would like to see "the flying iron" (iron as in ironing your clothes) as the UU for Finns. Glad we are rid of them.

 

[OmniMower]

I didnt mean that it would replace some other UU, just ADD it. There is nothing wrong in having several UU´s, and since there are 4 countries using it, its not exactly a UU. If you use all 4 civs that is

I feel rather ignorant talking about this Finnish mod, with all these Finns voicing their opinions. But, here goes:
The characteristics seem fine to me. From an American perspective, I've heard the Finns are hard workers, and that whole Nokia thing (the company, not the city) seems scientific to me. I've read that the Finnish 'respect religious authority, but most are not overly religious' (or something to that effect). Of course, that may just be modern Finns.
My only qualm about the mod is that the leader isn't animated. Is this hard to do?

I've been playing as the Finland with other European powers, and I can happily say I've just wiped the Russians off the face of the earth! (Pity the Scandinavians are still powerful...)

But anyway, I really appreciate this mod. Thanks, Paaltio.

With C3C the traits could be Agricultural and Industrious

 

[Kuningas]

Great work guys. I'll test this mod asap.

C3C traits agricultural and seafaring.

Agricultural:
Quite obvious.

Seafaring:
All those modern docks nowadays. Eastern sea route between Russian and Alaska was discovered by finns.

 

[Ville]

Seafaring, compared to Dutch, English and others, I'm not so sure.

 

[Exel]

C3C traits should rather be Agricultural and Scientific. Finland is surely not industrous compared to many other nations and nor is it religious, but despite its small size it leads the world science in many branches (electronics, biotechnology, even some parts of space research). And I also think that Kekkonen should be the leader and that UU should be named Jääkäri.

And still when Romans had a GA we were at stone age or something

 

[HuckFinn]

Come on, seriously... why is Finland not Industrious? How the hell do you guys think we have managed to turn a country this hostile in many ways into one of the most prosperous on Earth? Other peoples who live in similar conditions still raise reindeer and live in tents!

Even if I personally hate Runeberg for his utterly racist Fenno-Swedish ivory-tower depictions, his "Saarijärven Paavo" hits the spot really in my view of us Finns... up until the last decades, we have also been remarkably Lutheran, thus making us Religious as well. I also believe we retain in a lot of the ethics even as an increasingly secular society today.

Another issue is the suggestion of "Commercial"... this we most certainly are not. Heck, we were even going to sell Nokia to Sweden in the beginning of the 90s! Our industriousness has always been totally compromised by our non-commercialness. If we were as Commercial as the Swedes are, we would be even more a greater nation today, but we have a tendency of being suckered in commercial dealings...

I agree with you there! The initial agreements with the EU proved this to the point!

How about Agricultural and Industrious, instead of scientific? Sure, we have some science background with Nokia and various explorers, but you can always explain them away with our industriousness (or bullheadedness, if you will, since I'm from Ostrobothnia, originally) - we bang our heads until we get it right, or die trying. Just think of the old "suo, kuokka and Jussi" (swamp, hoe and John) story.

And someone should really animate a leaderhead for us!

Which program have you used? I draw them with Paint Shop Pro, but file size became too big and I had to cut some fine background art. So is there a program for making leaderhead anims?

I have!! (See avatar).

It will be released soon as part of my next mod. 3D animated, era-specific .

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

You trying to make some Finnish friends by realising a 3-D animated, era-specific leaderhead for them R8XFT?

Unless you want millions of Finnish fans R8XFT, I suggest you cease and desist!

 

[barron of ideas]

For Unique Unit, amphibious infantry with

(wait for it)


fins.




and gills.
Or maybe a mermaid?

 

[Paasky]

You just had to bump an old thread with nothing even remotely intelligent...

 

[Ken the Great]

what's up with the pedialicons, no Tech in there, so everytime I load the game I get this error:
Missing entry in text\Pedialicons.txt: TECH_Bronze_Working
so I opened the Pedialicons and THERE IS NO TECH at all

I could vote for that. Agricultural and militaristic could be one solution too? There have been lots of wars here, and we still have draft based army. No?

I'll have to try this out when I get home from the office!

ps. I some how like Mannerheim more...

 

[Suomi]

Thanks! I love it.
