I am working on a mod that replaces all default civs with four animal civs (Cats, Dogs, Rodents, and Birds) and a fifth civ called the Insect-Bacteria Alliance.

PLEASE NOTE: This is supposed to be silly, to be played if you really like pet animals or really need a good laugh. :lol:

I would like to know if CFC users think it's a good idea or not and if they will use it if I post it (I won't post it if you think it's a bad idea). I would like suggestions for the civilopedia, city names (I already have ~50 though for the cats) and ideas for the UU (although all the civs will have their own flavor units only certain units will be considered special and can trigger golden ages). Any unit graphics or leaderhead graphics would be greatly appreciated.

Right now one of the flavor units for the Cat civ is the 'Litter Box Catapult' with 0(5)-1-1 and costs extra gold.
It has an extra bombard point because it is throwing Litter Box's (and all the hazardous material it contains ;) :nuke:, causing some of the undiciplined enemy troops to leave thier unit and disperse throught the countryside. It has an extra defensive point because, unlike normal catapults, many enemy troops are unwilling to attack it because of its odorous properties :lol: :rolleyes: !

I do not have all of the mod finished so I can not post anything yet, but the more help I get the faster it will be done. All suggestions are welcome!
******************************************
EDIT:
This scenario is made so that you can play as any of the five civs.

The barbarians will be 'Virus' (basic) and 'Adv. Virus' (adv.).

The Rodent leader is named 'Emperor Squeeky the Ferocious'.

The Dog civ's leader name is 'Prime Minister Furry the Brown'.

If you want to see the leader names for all civs compiled so far look here.

So far this is the list of units I will have in the mod, the ones I have are in bold. If anyone could make graphics for any of these units that would be awesome. Please!!! :help: :worship: :help:

kinda weird idea but i like it... dont forget this leaders

agata ( my cats name, in spanish cat is gato and gata is female so...)
gaturro ( its the main character of a comic that is in the newspaper "La Nacion" of argentina.... really good, very famous here)

i vote that i will probably use it when its finished , i like the idea but is not enough for a "Good Idea!" soo good luck
 
What about the possibility of using a Tiger as the leaderhead (I know someone is making a bunch of animal leaderheads, and a Tiger is one of them).

Incidentally, I think this would be a fun idea (there is actually a scenario in development that is sort of like what you describe, only with more animals:
Noah's Arc ).
 
I'm the one with animal heads and tiger among them.. actually there will be a cat or two in that package, just wait a week or two, gotta beat my sister.
 
Im also a feline servent..

Title: Puur'vect
Name: Cat A. Tonic

Title: Lap Lizard
Name: Catnip

thats all i have on the spur.. what have you decided for the barbarians? Dogs & Rattz?!

Send me a PM if you need a playtester or any brainstorming..

GL
 
Thank you very much for the ideas, I would much appreciate any help you could give me with this mod.
Do you think I should take out the default civs (Rome, Zulu, Greece, etc.) and put in only related civs (mouse, dog, bird)?

If I decide to do this then maybe I should produce a BETA version with nothing but the Cat civ added because if I do all the other civs it might take to long and overwhelm me with all the work to be done. I'll finish eventually but I think I should release them slowly, one by one, as they are completed.
 
u cant forget frizt the cat!!


he was a cat in a carton movie in the 70s ( i think) lol it was a porn carton, he whent around drinking, and geting it on with other cats and all sorts of animal, ceck it out :p tho if ur under 18 u cnat (rated x)
 
For the Cat UU (Cat Box Catapult currently) should I make new animation or keep the default catapult animation?

I think I will do a mouse civ at least, but I have not done any work on that yet. Any ideas? City names, Leader, great leaders, UU?
I will be thankful for anything you can help me with. Even just encouragment!

For a great leader I could have Mickey Mouse!

and of course

Nermal, from Garfield


Tigger, from Winnie the Pooh
 
and for mice,
