Welcome to the forums, DZpatriot! However, you've posted this thread in the New Civilizations section, which is only for completed and uploaded civilizations. Questions go in the main modding forums, so I have asked the moderators to move this thread.
EDIT: Ninja'd by Rob! (Sort of)

About your request: Just because two countries are similar does not mean that it is in any way easy to transform one to another. The code to update everything to everything from Morocco to Algeria is just as complicated - if not more so - as the code to create a whole new Algerian civ. It is, however, still possible to do.

So, just to clarify: You want everything that Morocco has, except with the flag (and most likely colors) changed, as well as the leader, unique ability and text changed. A new city list would also probably make sense. The flag and leader will need new artwork. Is that all about right?

Colonial Legacies could use an Algerian Civ, you could come up with some original ideas and post them there.

Would this be acceptable Icon?
I used the flag from EU4 and changed the background to a creamy white/yellow similar to the Ottoman's colors so it isn't too similar to Portugal.

To be honest, I think they've got enough on their plate already. However, DZpatriot, I am up for helping you with the code and a new design - for example, the Zawiya could be a Unique Building or Improvement. If you want, this could get taken up by Colonialist Legacies, but I'll leave the choice to you. I'm happy to help anyway.

 

[DZpatriot]

I apologize for the bad location of the subject and I thank those who could help me

I would like to create an Algerian civilization with the flag of modern Algeria (right)

and as a leader: "Emir Abdel Kader" the leader who has managed to gather many tribes to fight against the French colonizers

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emir_Abdelkader

as a specific unit, I thought called mujahideen fighters who fight from 1954 until 1962 against the French soldiers to recover the independence of Algeria. As a bonus, I think has a leading edge and moving the boxes in hills and forest (scrubland)

as construction, I thought of a gas extraction platform that would bring a gold bonus because Algeria is a major exporter of natural gas.

capital is Algiers or El Djazaïr Arabic and other cities are ordered by importance Oran, Constantine, Tizi-Ouzou, Boumerdes, Bechar, Tamanrasset, Tindouf ...

Civilization Icons only use two colors, and the Crescent with a star is kind of already taken by Arabia.

 

[AW Arcaeca]

It all looks good; however, civilizations typically only have two colors on their flags. Did you have any specific color combination in mind (white + mint green maybe) or should we use the icon you provided regardless? (You'll need to pick a color combination either way).
EDIT: Ninja'd by COF!
(I need to learn to type faster so I stop getting ninja'd so much. )

Secondly, for the oil-platform thing - were you envisioning this as a Unique Improvement or a Unique Building?

Lastly, 8 cities is typically not enough to make a full city list. Could you provide us with, say, another 12, more or less?

 

[DZpatriot]

Use the Algerian flag icon would be great. is this possible? or only 2 colors. For borders green and white colors agree

ranking of cities by decreasing sequence:

1 Algiers (the capital)
2 Oran
3 Constantine
4 Annaba
5 Blida
6 Batna
7 Setif
8 Biskra
9 Skikda
10 Bejaia
11 Tlemcem
12 Ouargla
13 Tizi-Ouzou
14 Tamanrasset


For the mujahideen, they hid in lees bush and mountains and forest

a unique construction for a gas platform Algeria is this possible? (in the city)

 

[Viregel]

Oh, it all looks possible. Do you have any ideas on the Unique Ability? If not, I'd suggest something to do with the resistance to the French Invasion. As for the Gas Platform, you could go for something else if you want, but I would suggest for the effect something like "+2 Gold on Strategic Resources". Simple, yet powerful. Alternatively, this could go into the UA; perhaps something like increased border expansion during war as well? It helps sum up for the size of the nation today, despite the fact it was a largely coastal province before the French invasion.

 

[COF]

How about having the UB replace the Nuclear Plant, but instead of Uranium it should require Oil and provide 15% more gold in the city.
It also shouldn't prevent building a Solar Plant.

excellent idea !!

 

[Viregel]

If you want any ideas - how's this for the UA?

Border Expansion doubles during wartime. +2 Gold on every Strategic Resource.

This encourages Algeria to settle close to other's borders for Strategic Resources, leading to inevitable war - then the borders expand faster, and Algeria gets benefit. You could chuck in something else as well; though you're the expert.

 

[DZpatriot]

I would think instead has a passive ability: when Algerian city is flooded, a military "mujahideen" and free entry appears nearby unit every 10 laps.

is this possible?

heu, what is UA and UB ?

 

[COF]

UA-Unique Ability (Phoenician heritage for example)
UB-Unique Building (Satrap's Court)
UU-Unique Unit (Panzer)
UI-Unique Improvement (Terrace Farms)

And that idea is rather...boring.

 

[DZpatriot]

special unit: Mujahideen replacing the infantry in the modern era with a bonus on the hills and forests UU

Special building: a central gas (produces electricity from natural gas) to replace nuclear power but only costs 2 gold per turn and increases the production of 10%. the other characteristics are not changed UB

Kasbah like Morocco UI

and UA, no idea for the moment

What do you think ?

 

[whoward69]

UU at Modern Era and UB at Post-Modern Era - what are players going to get excited about from the Ancient to the Industrial eras - ie 75%+ of their game?

 

[Viregel]

Put something in the UA, perhaps? UU could be renamed and come as a Gattling Gun, Rifleman or Cavalry replacement, instead focusing on the French Invasion. As I suggested earlier, Zawyia could be a UB or UI, with the gas part put into the UA. Whoward's right on the spacing, I'll give you that much.
