[BtS] DIPLOMACY: a mod for Diplogames!

Thanks. I wanted to make sure the colors didn't overlap with the Barbarian and Japanese civs.
 
Hey, you remember how England, Ireland, and Wales all had plants on their flag?

Now, America, Canada, and Mexico will all have animals on their flag. I'm making a flag for Mexico with a Chihuahua in it.

I also made a Greek flag with a dolphin. I found out it's the national animal, and it appears frequently in Greek mythology.
 
These lines are for Mary, Queen of Scots. She's got some issues with her cousin.

First Contact Text:
Welcome to my palace, [CT_NAME]. I am [OUR_NAME], mighty leader of the [OUR_EMPIRE]. I hope our nations can live together in friendship. After all, I'm much wiser and more beautiful than my cousin, don't you agree?

Refuse to Talk:
Get out of here, you wee little beastie!

No Peace:
I may be a lass, but I'm not a pushover, [CT_NAME].

Friendly Greeting:
Good evening, [CT_NAME]. I'm glad you chose to talk to me instead of to my cousin.

Annoyed Greeting:
You may be an even bigger she-dog than my cousin, [CT_NAME].

Demand Tribute Weaker:
You are much smarter than my cousin, so I can trust you with this, right?

Demand Tribute Equal:
I need to finance my latest plot against my cousin... I mean, I need, er... ugh, just give me this, [CT_NAME]!

Demand Tribute Stronger:
Hand this over to [OUR_CIV_SHORT]... or you will get the axe... literally.
 
This diplotext is for Michael Collins of Ireland. Just picture a temperamental Irishman saying it.

First Contact Text:
Top o' the morning to you, [CT_NAME]! I am [OUR_NAME] of [OUR_CIV_SHORT], Minister for Gun-Running, Daylight Robbery, and General Mayhem!

Refuse to Talk:
Get out of here before I punch you in the face!

No Peace:
Never in a million years, boy'o!

Friendly Greeting:
Hey, buddies, it's [CT_NAME]! Let's bring out the beer: it's time to celebrate!

Annoyed Greeting:
You are so lucky I'm sober right now, [CT_NAME].

Demand Tribute Weaker:
I recommend you give this to [OUR_CIV_SHORT]. That is, of course, unless you like being repeatedly hit on the head with beer bottles.

Demand Tribute Equal:
Hand this over, [CT_NAME], or we'll have to resort to the [OUR_CIV_ADJ] national pastime: getting stark-raving angry for no apparent reason!

Demand Tribute Stronger:
Give us this or answer to the guns of the [OUR_CIV_ADJ] army!
 
Considering the importance of Michael Collins as an historical figure in Ireland, I kindly ask you change a lot of them. Particularly his greeting and also maybe the one where he talks about hitting people in the head with beer bottles. Maybe also the national past-time comment too. Just doesn't really seem like things the big guy would say.

In any event I am sure you can do better than "let's just have him be drunk and angry."
 
Well, blame me for not being Irish.

I'll probably use some of these quotes for Brian Boru.

Brian Boru would be drunk and angry.
Collins would be more like angry Liam Neeson. ...Which is probably why they cast him in the biopic of him.
 
@ Xenomorph: I am aware of this, but thank you for bringing it to my attention. FileFront keeps crapping out on me, I'll put them back up but if you have a suggestion for another hosting site (hopefully one without a wait time) that would be helpful too.
I've had good experience with MediaFire. You are limited to 100MB files on a free account (you can just split the file into parts, since there is no limit to the size of your account) and you can only download one file at a time, but I've never lost any files or had wait times beyond ten seconds.
Another site I've seen people use is 4Shared. I don't know much about it, but wait times seem to be about 30 seconds or less (usually less) and good download speeds.
 
I'm moving everything to http://www.moddb.com/ personally. Might as well just cut out the for profit stuff altogether. Though I'll be keeping an alternate mirror with Strategy informer.
 
How about this for Michael Collins:

Damn, Igor, I like that text for Collins! Your Yaroslav is also good.

As I promised, here is Brian Boru's diplotext.

First Contact Text:
Top o' the morning to you, [CT_NAME]! I am [OUR_NAME] of [OUR_CIV_SHORT]. Minions, let's get some whiskey and celebrate this auspicious occasion.

Refuse to Talk:
Stop screaming like a banshee, [CT_NAME]!

No Peace:
Never in a million years, boy'o!

Friendly Greeting:
Welcome back to [CT_CIV_SHORT]! Come on, join me and my buddies for some riverdancing at the pub! Sure, we'll be too drunk to dance to the beat, but that makes it even more fun!

Annoyed Greeting:
You are so lucky I'm sober right now, [CT_NAME].

Demand Tribute Weaker:
I recommend you give this to [OUR_CIV_SHORT]. That is, of course, unless you like being repeatedly hit on the head with whiskey bottles.

Demand Tribute Equal:
We're after your lucky charms, [CT_NAME].

Demand Tribute Stronger:
Hand this over, [CT_NAME], or we'll have to resort to the [OUR_CIV_ADJ] national pastime: getting stark-raving angry for no reason at all!
 
Here is some text for Jingu of Japan:

First Contact Text:
Surely the sun goddess, Amaterasu, has smiled upon you, [CT_NAME] - for she has led you to me, [CT_NAME], mighty empress of the [OUR_EMPIRE]!

Refuse to Talk:
Get out of here, you mischievous fox spirit!

No Peace:
I shall not rest until I gore you with my sword, [CT_NAME].

Friendly Greeting:
Greetings, [CT_NAME]. Come, enter the tea house with me and drink to your heart's content.

Annoyed Greeting:
You again, [CT_NAME] Why have you come back to agonize me?

Demand Tribute Weaker:
[OUR_CIV_SHORT] would like this, [CT_NAME]. Or would you like to taste steel?

Demand Tribute Equal:
If you don't accept this deal, [CT_NAME], you might as well stab yourself in the belly.

Demand Tribute Stronger:
Hand this over, [CT_NAME], or the [OUR_CIV_ADJ] army will be most certainly be victorious in their conquest of [CT_CIV_SHORT].
 
Damn, Igor, I like that text for Collins! Your Yaroslav is also good.

In return I'll say that I like your Cetshwayo and Peron texts. I'll add them to my game. Who are the leaders who still have no diplotext? I might think of something for some of them.
 
In return for that, I'll give you some quotes I have for Sobieski, since you have him in your mod. Didn't write them, but I like them.

First Contact Text:
All right, so you're not a Sarracen, [CT_NAME]? I am [OUR_NAME]. What may I do for you?

Refuse to Talk:
I do not wish to talk, but you may send me a letter.

No Peace:
It is not possible to stop my hussars if they have already started charging.

Friendly Greeting:
[CT_NAME], my dear friend! What do you think about founding the Holy League?

Annoyed Greeting:
Have you ever heard roar of a hundred charging knights? My hussars, be ready!

Demand Tribute Weaker:
This will be the test of our friendship, [CT_NAME].

Demand Tribute Equal:
We need to help each other, [CT_NAME].

Demand Tribute Stronger:
Do you really want me to start another crusade? My beloved Marysienka won't be happy.

First Contact Text:
Hello [CT_NAME]. I am [OUR_NAME]. Have you come to report new exotic lands for the [OUR_EMPIRE]?

Refuse to Talk:
Sorry, can't talk right now. I need to go circumnavigate the globe.

No Peace:
Peace with you? I'd rather sail straight into the middle of a seastorm!

Friendly Greeting:
Welcome back, [CT_NAME]! You are free to ride my carrack anytime!

Annoyed Greeting:
I'd rather be scrubbing the barnacles off my ship than talk to you, but I will pretend to stand you anyway.

Demand Tribute Weaker:
[OUR_CIV_SHORT] wants to make sure we're really friends. Who knows, if I find buried treasure, I might give some of it to you!

Demand Tribute Equal:
I'm not an avaricious man, [CT_NAME], but... I would really, really like this. Please?

Demand Tribute Stronger:
Hand this over, [CT_NAME], or my ships will arrive at your shores and it won't be just to say hi.
 
Links to filefront send me to filefront, not to the download of the respective file.

Btw, how did u make those crazy terrain textures! Can you make those textures move to Next War mod as well?
 
Thought I'd try my hand at diplotext.
Here's what I came up with for Mongkut. It's sort of a mix of alleged actual quotes, lines from the musical, and one reference to the Family Guy parody of King and I.

First Contact Text:
Greetings, [CT_NAME]! I am [OUR_NAME] of [OUR_CIV_SHORT]. When I sit, you sit. When I kneel, you kneel. Et cetera, et cetera, et cetera!

Refuse to Talk:
You will say no more! No more!

No Peace:
You think you teach King lesson, but this is one lesson you do not get paid for teaching!

Friendly Greeting:
Welcome, [CT_NAME]! Have I introduced you to my Siamese children?

Annoyed Greeting:
Buddha, please help [CT_NAME] keep awake for scientific preparation of banquet, even though they are [CT_CIV_ADJ] and therefore unworthy of your interest.

Demand Tribute Weaker:
1, 2, 3, This I need!

Demand Tribute Equal:
You are very difficult, [CT_NAME]! I'd suggest you give me this before you make king angry.

Demand Tribute Stronger:
A promise is a promise! You will give me these, [CT_NAME]!
