Ancient America

[turfcat]

This scenario takes place in Pre-Columbian America, where you take control of one of several Native American tribes. The tech tree has been revised and there are several new improvements and wonders of that time period. Keep in mind that this is my first mod and though I think I've removed all the bugs, some might have been overlooked. I'd welcome any feedback.

All the files can be found here http://hosted.filefront.com/Turfcat/

Have fun!

I will certainly check this out.
But could you be a little more descriptive?
What does this focus on?

I have been trying to make myself a conquest
about the formation of the 5 (6) nations
up until around the American Revolution.
I just don't have the talent/time.
Maybe this can help....

Screenshots?

It doesn't focus on any a particular event. It's basically a North American version of The Mesoamerica Scenario. The available civs are The Iroquois, Apache, Sioux, Seminole, Nootka, Aztec and Maya. I've changed some of the improvements so their more accurate for that time period. And there's some new Native American wonders that some people probably never heard of such as, "Kalakayuwish Totem Pole" and "Portrait of Mishipizheu"

After finishing half of the scenario, I realized that there were still so many things I wanted to change or expand on, so I've since started "Ancient America 2". In this mod I'm making a much larger tech tree, more units and the tech tree will be able to cover a longer era of time.(post-colonization, etc)

But I wanted to get this one to it's completion so I posted it. I think it's pretty good anyway though.

I will be happy to post some screen shots if someone can show me how.

You have a great idea for a scenario. I'll have to look at that.

Search function is your friend
It's a common question and you can find a lot of entries for "how to screenshot", for example this:

I've tried alot of different things but could never
figure out how to bring the Europeans into the picture
Probab ly need two scn's

One for the formation of the Confederacy
and one to deal with the golden age of the beaver wars
up to the dissolution at the time of the American Revolution.

Thank you.

I think you need a printer set up though.
I do not have a printer so it never worked for me.
Or I could be dummy........

I got an error for tribal monument while trying to open this scenario

I got an error for tribal monument while trying to open this scenario

Don't understand the problem seeing as it runs great on my system, but I will check it out anyways. I think I have an easy way to solve it.

It should be finding the file for tribal monument in the civ conquests\art\civilopedia\icons\buildings folder under stellae.

If not go into that folder and copy the file stelae and put it into the Ancient America folder in the same string.

Conquests\Ancient America\art\civilopedia\icons\buildings

Let me know if that works and I'll edit the scenario so no one else has the same problem.

Hey turf cat do a run down of the units by way of civapedia and you'l soon get a' missing pediaicon' error. Sorry I don't have time to print the exact name of the unit.

I like the effor you made on tryin to finish the discriptions in the pedia. Keep trying to flesh it out man. THe best mods are ones where you can't tell its a mod. The biggest giveaway its amatuer product is blank entry screens where supportin text is suppose to be.

Don't feel bad as you know most modders don't think anyone cares enough for them to be adding tedius supportin historical test to what they add in the game, but truth, when one has plenty of choices what to play, having a identical pedia format to 'out of the box product' is a big plus.

Try embyo's and yoda's 'middle age mod' for ideal pedia contruction (not one entry missing and all proper lenght)

I have not run into any problems yet.
I starting the 2nd era as the 6 Nations.
Wish there were more civs or smaller map.
I have so many cities and only met 2 other tribes.

I don't know of alot of the things in here
Guess I am six nation-centric.
I hope I get the false face society.

Thank you.

Thanks for the feedback, I was a little scared to input too many civs as it might become too crowded.
I'm fixing some bugs I found so at the same time I'll add some more tribes.

 

[johnnyjal]

What nations would you add?

Would it be possible to be more civ-specific
as in allowing the eastern tribes to build lacrosse fields
iso ball courts?

What is uranium for? I got a road through some
and it said I could build new improvements?

I like the way you use False Face Society (in place of battlefield medicine)
In my own I was trying to use it to give the ability to grow a town
beyond 4 or 5.

I hope you keep working this.

Well unfortunately there seems to be a whole string of the same type of errors, though I was successful in correcting the tribal monument one. Perhaps my download was somehow corrupted?

Do you have all of the original files in the conquest game.

If the graphics files I need are normally in the Conquests Game I didn't add them to the mod.

Maybe try down loading it again, Others have downloaded it with no problems.

Keep me informed.

Good idea for the lacrosse fields. I'll try that.

The Uraniums is a mistake sorry. I forget to remove it from the map

I've already improved the wonders by adding better icons. I should be updating it soon.
I'm going to add more tribes as well.
And better detailed civpedia descriptions
Thanks for the feedback.

Hey, if you are going to rewrite the pedia,
why not use more accurate names
(not the Frenchified words)
Iroquois - Haudenosaunee
Sioux - Nakota (Dakota/Lakota)

I am sorry I do not know Seminole or Nootka
or what nations you will add.

Thank you!!
