CIV Gold!

I've created a separate thread for CIV Gold: The Nature of Man within the CIV Gold project forum.

You can post any questions, comments or issues there and we will try to address them as we go.

Thanks!

Feel better, Wyz. Get well and modding soon

Due to "real life" professional commitments for both Fierabras and me, the release for 5.0 has been pushed back to early April.

Sorry folks.

BTW, we need text editors. One or two people willing to write pedia entries shortens the release wait by a week or more (seriously).

 

[Huayna Capac357]

Ooh! I could do it! Please I want to...

 

[rockinroger]

What help do you need? We have borrowed/used many of your civs, it would only be fair to give back that help.

First off, thanks a lot to RPG, Huayna Capac357 and rockinroger for volunteering to help. It will go a long way into helping us get 5.0 out the door sooner than later.

I also wanted to share a previously-unannounced change re: 5.0 (in partial effort to explain why everything is taking so long).

In addition to adding to several new civs and a couple dozen new leaders, I am re-aligning the North American native civs to be a bit more recognizable.

The Upaajut Empire will be split into the Inuit Empire and Dene Empire

The Anishnaabek Empire will be largely the same but will be called the Algonqian Empire

The Aniyonega Empire will be split into the Cherokee Empire and Seminole Empire

The Dinniheh Empire will be split into the Apache Empire and Navajo Empire

The Nimiipu Empire will become the Nez Perce Empire

The Piliwni Empire will become the Paiute Empire

The Tillikum Empire will become the Haida Empire

The Vooestaneoo Empire will move the Cheyenne to the Algonqian Empire, and will become the Metis Empire

The Iroquois, Sioux, Yanomami and Tupi Empires will remain unchanged. The Arawak Empire will be added.

Say, Wyz. I have an idea. How about for the Arawak Empire, you change the background of Ekmek's Atotoztli, and use her as Anacaona?

What will be the UUs and UBs for the Arawak Empire. I'm Puerto Rican, so maybe I can help.

I'll check it out. I'll be using the Arawak leader from Colonization for sure.

Haven't nailed those down. If you want to take a shot at it, that would be helpful.

 

[MadmanOfALeader]

Well, the UU should be a Nitaino. Could replace, say an axeman or a warrior. They used stone weapons.

And the UB, either a Batey (Colosseum replacement) or a Bohio (Not sure what).

 

[MadmanOfALeader]

Just one question: who will be the Inuit leader?

Probably Nakasuk and/or Paul Okalik.

any news at the release date?

any news at the release date?

Thankfully, we've had a few people offer to help. It's March 18 today. I think it's fair to give volunteers at least a week to do what they need to do. But either way, Fierabras, who assembles the final product for release, cannot commit the time to doing so until April.

 

[MadmanOfALeader]

Here's some diplomacy text for an Inuit leader!

First Contact:
Welcome! I am [OUR_NAME] of the [OUR_EMPIRE]. I shall give you a kiss to celebrate our new friendship. Not on the nose, though. We don't do that.

Refuse to Talk:
Shove it up your ice hole!

No Peace:
You shall see peace in your lands when you see a harpoon through your gut.

Friendly Greeting:
Welcome back, [OUR_NAME]! My wife would be very honored if you would take her tonight. I insist!

Furious Greeting:
Oh, it's you. What do you want, you fat fat fatty fatty walrus?

Demand Tribute Weaker:
Me and my buddies will pelt you with snowballs if you don't send this my way!

Demad Tribute Equal:
My huskies are hungry, [CT_NAME]. Would you like them to feed on something other than your corpse?

Demand Tribute Stronger:
Hand this over or I'll club you like a baby seal!

 

[Zapper]

its me again any update at the release?

 

[Wyz_sub10]

Still moving. I sent out a status request email last week, and two of us are pluggin along slowly, but surely. One team member hasn't gotten back to me but I know he's in deep at work. March is always bad because it's fiscal year end for governments and so many private corporations.

April is holding as the release date, though. I'll be on Garrett's Modcast tomorrow.

 

[Agent327]

Cool, Wyz!

 

[Wyz_sub10]

Okay, here's a firm a date as it gets: May 11.

Now that year-end is done and taxes are done and submitted, I can devote some time to this during next week to finish what needs to be done.
