A NESers Civ4 Mod? Or At Least Just Playing With The Thought

[flyingchicken]

Civ AI personalities.

 

[Angst]

I thought that was too difficult to be implemented as of yet. Are you sure to have that in as well?

 

[flyingchicken]

We can't have everyone act the same. It will be sooo boring.

 

[Angst]

Well, I just thought that we could have the AI act like the original Civ4 AI so far.

 

[Diamondeye]

L_J, that'd be horrifying.

here goes, for a NESnoob:

Leader: Diamondeye
Traits: Philosophical, Creative

Theme: "Rose of May" (also called "Loss of Me", from FFIX)
Favorite civic: Hereditary Rule

Civilization: The Kalmar Union
Colour: Dark Red
Flag: None yet - perhaps the Danish flag from M:TW II?
Unique Unit: Longboat rolleyes - Replaces Galley, attacking from it does not incur amphibious penalty, can travel Ocean squares (with civ3 risk of perishing).
Unique Building: Round Church - Replaces Temple, provides +25% defense bonus, costs slightly less.

If we are to use animated leaderheads, and keeping the my civ's theme, just use Stalin for me but have all the red and blue on his uniform switched with each other.

 

[Abaddon]

All this talk.. can anyone even mod cIV here?

 

[Crezth]

Civilization IV is abominably easy to mod. I added a silly Lovecraftian civilization in an afternoon. And the proliferation of modders such as strategyonly demonstrates its simplicity.

 

[Lord_Iggy]

Hmm, here's a start. I'm trying to determine my most successful nations- Faron, Parhae, and Dashtaka are three that come to mind, and they were all radically different. Well, this is what I posted in the wrong thread earlier:

Lord_Iggy: Philosophical, Industrious
Unique Unit: Penguin (Replaces Rifleman, Requires Access to Tundra)
Unique Building: Storyist Lounge (Replaces Library, +3 Culture per turn)
Preferred Civic: Environmentalism (Protect the Ice Caps!)

*cough* You wish!

Fine changed.

Well, are you up for it then?

 

[Crezth]

Well, are you up for it then?

If nobody else can, then sure.

I'd like to note that it'd be of immense help to the project if everyone would note the included 3d leaderhead (which can also be from any of the BtS Mods, as there are a few) they would like to represent themselves; or else include a 2d image which would serve as a static leaderhead. Also for flags that are not perfect squares, specify the dimensions to keep or necessary alterations to make to preserve their integrity (according to your wishes).

I love you. I will arrange this soon; perhaps just when I come home, I can add the request in the op. That said, everyone should keep an eye on this thread, it could be that another fill-in sheet appeared in the OP. That is all.

 

[flyingchicken]

Wow what were my requests chopped liver?

 

[Angst]

No, they're just postponed until we're done with the leaderheads themselves. I actually agree that different personalities would be fun, of course.

I will double post a prepared leaderhead to show how it's done.

 

[Crezth]

Personalities are not remotely difficult to do. If you want, you might want to include a paragraph describing how you want your leaderhead to behave - all it takes is tweaking a few values.

An alternative is, you can tell what already-existing leaderhead most closely resembles yours, but how specifically you want it to differ, and that could be implemented much, much more smoothly. So say you want a builder/defensive personality that launches wars to aid allies at a sneeze - well, a good template would be Churchill.

The only thing that is difficult (not so much difficult as, I don't like to do it) is Diplo Text, so just as a disclaimer that will be the very last thing I do, because I consider it flavor more than anything.

 

[Adrogans]

Hey you changed you Crezth I was orgainized financial. I think you were financial aggressive.

 

[Ninja Dude]

Shaka or Zara seem pretty close to what I think a Chief would look like.

 

[flyingchicken]

Two static leaderheads ala His Holiness in Charlemagne is my proposal for leaderheads.

 

[Dachs]

Fred or Julie for me, prolly.
