Civ 5 Design Challenge IV - History/Eras

[inthesomeday]

I'm honored!

For my time period I'll say the Pax Mongolica! I'll set the period as c. 1200 CE to 1400 CE. Just a rough time period, not extremely precise or anything, meant to give more leeway but with a central theme. Of course any region is allowed provided the design falls within period but it would be neat to stick with a sort of unifying theme.

 

[Keniisu]

The Mongols (Batu Khan)

UA: The Good Khan -
Whenever a city with a defense above 16 has been conquered by your civilization gain two free Shèshǒu by your capital . Mounted units heal a small portion when attacking cities.

UU: Shèshǒu (Replaces Horse Archer) -
Can travel across enemy roads as if they were your own. When attacking on rivers or while on a road gain +20% strength and +10% defense .

UU: Zhànshì (Replaces Warrior) -
Has +1 more movement than a normal Warrior. Gain a small 10% attack bonus whenever on a River.

 

[kul]

Majapahit
Leader: Raden Wijaya (1293 - 1309)
Capital: Wilwatikta​

UA: Sura ing Bhaya (Valor in Peril)
Unit gain combat bonus against enemy who fights not in their native Continent, based on the distance from their Capital. All Land Units had +1 Movement for 3 turns after the Declaration of War.

UU: Dharmaputra
Replacement for Great General who also gives adjacent Units Great General I promotion. Dharmaputra's combat bonus effect are stackable upto 45%

UB: Hunting Palace
Replacement for Camps with additional +1 Gold for the improved resource. Removes the feature on the tile it was worked upon, but each Hunting Palace gives +5xp to newly trained units in the City.

Well you said Pax Mongolica, So I figured to includes something that managed to repel them (Well, at least a splinter of them, the army came from Yuan Dynasty)

 

[einayim]

Mamluk Sultanate - Sultan Baibar
Capital: Cairo

UA: Victory at Ain Jalut - Mounted units can force enemy units to retreat and can retreat from combat themselves when within 2 tiles of a great general. Gain Golden Age Points from defeating units from civilizations with larger militaries than you.

UU: Midfa Gunman (Replaces Musketman) - Weaker than the musketman (21 CS vs 24 CS), but available earlier, at Physics. Intimidates nearby enemies and has a bonus against mounted units.

UB: Cat Garden (Replaces Garden) - Doesn't require fresh water, and provides +1 happiness and +2 culture

If we're continuing with Mongol-repellent...

 

[inthesomeday]

Yes, I suppose my idea was basically any civ that was affected by or interacted with the Mongols, basically. All so far have been war themed, all good, also interested in trade themed civs or combination war and trade. But I like all so far

 

[Kerfuffle]

Hrm... would I be allowed to submit a design for Western Xia (The Tangut)? They were very much effected by the Mongol Empire (with the Mongols kinda wiping them off the face of the earth and everything) and they'd probably be a mix of culture, diplomacy, trade and/or war. However, the thing is their last effective ruler's reign ended just 7 years before the beginning of the challenge's timeline (1193). Everyone after that fell victim to coups, questionable wars, and eventually destruction by the Mongols...

I could probably come up with something else though, I have some ideas for some dynasties / the mongols themselves.

 

[Civ'ed]

Let's give this a try then shall we

​

Khwarazm (Muhammad II)

Capital: Samarkand

One design per challenge, and it must fit within the specified time period. There are many other design challenges if you're interested in submitting further designs, but for each challenge only one entry is allowed, and the rules of this challenge require the submissions to fall within a certain time period.
