Chieftain
While I, as an American do not agree with this particular president as his policies were xenophobic and expansiveness. I think that he would be a great colorful character to bring into Civ6. I am trying to be ambitious with this mod. Not only do I want to have a new faction I also want it to be balanced for multiplayer. While also having the great ambition of having this be fully integrated with the Ai so you can have him play in your single player games. And the cherry on top is his avatar will be fully animated and voiced.
It sounds like a lot on paper but I feel confident that this is something I can accomplish. And once I know what I am doing I can reiterate the process to add a slew of new factions with an equal level of polish. Though I am confident in my ability to modify and rewrite all the XML, but I am new to Lua so getting this faction to work as an Ai is going to be an interesting process.
Since Firaxis would only replace the leader ability and keep the Unique Unit and building. As seen with Greece, this mod would do the same. You will loose Teddys Rough Riders and I am undecided on whether or not to replace it with another unit.
Leader Ability: Land Rush - Whenever you purchase a tile you will receive Culture equal to 10% of its Gold Cost
During Jacksons Presidency he had policies to settle as much of the American territory as possible. In the game, I think it would be a great ability to gain bonus culture and really encourages the player to make the investment to buy as many tiles as they can afford. The 10% value will need to be altered but seeing as the average cost of a tile is about 120 gold, receiving 12 culture during that turn is an interesting bonus. While at the same time is balanced and fair to play against.
Ai Agenda: Manifest Destiny - Jackson does not enjoy sharing his starting continent and seeks to have the most cities on it. He will be highly aggressive with any of his neighbors who do have more cities than him.
Andrew Jackson was given the name Old Hickory, for the wooden cane he used everywhere to not only aid in walking. But doubled as a weapon to beat the ever living poo out of any who annoyed him. If he did not shoot them in a duel. Of which is estimated being as many as 100 duels. This agenda is rather historically accurate and synergises well with his Leader Ability. Manifest Destiny was the belief that the vast "unclaimed" area was gods will that the USA was to be sovran. Jackson Ai will also share this belief.
Very Early work in progress, sculpting is a new skill for me and the lighting in this is not as good as it could be.
I have a lot to work on in the coming weeks. Any who wish I would welcome the help and suggestions. Hopefully, Andrew Jackson will be the first of many projects from me.
