Oops! That's because I made a tiny mistake with the define for the button. Try this file, it should work. Put it in Civ++/Assets/XML/Art.

thanks for the quick reply, I will try it out tonight, and let you know the results.
Great mod - by the way
 
Pretty cool mod, however the Arab unique unit being a terrorist is by far the single most racist thing I've seen in Civ so far. Change it.

Your new Civics are pretty interesting. Not all civs have the same amount of unique units.

I don't consider it racist, but historical. If you don't like it you can delete it from the XML if you want. I wanted Arabia to have another unit. They have the Power of Jihad, btw.

I know. I tried a holistic approach to balancing, so if a side gets more units, generally their units are weaker than a side that gets 4 units, for example. And before you say I'm racist against Africa (no African civs) I didn't include them because I couldn't think of 3 UUs for them.

Historical? Yes Osama is from Saudi Arabia, however Terrorism is a tactic, not a specific unit. Timothy McVeigh was certainly a terrorist, he was from America. Rebels in Chechnya use terrorist tactics, they aren't Arabs. Fundamentalist Christians who bomb abortion clinics are terrorists. The Tamali Tigers aren't arabs.

Power of Jihad? Please..

Do your homework, find new units.
 
Get a sense of humor. The terrorist unit is somewhat tongue in cheek, and the Power of Jihad makes a ton of sense considering the only reason the Arabs are in the game is because in the 6th, 7th, and 8th centuries they conquered the Middle East, North Africa, and Spain in a, drum roll please, Jihad. Anyways, if you don't like my mod, than don't play it, or change it yourself. I'm sorry I offended you, I am, but it was not meant in an offensive way. So, relax. Chill out. None of this is meant in an offensive way but rather is something I worked on for fun, and decided to post because I hoped others would enjoy it.
 
Don't get me wrong, most of the mod is pretty great, it may not be organized ascetically perfectly, but it's pretty good. It's just the racist stuff that gets to me. One of my best friends is Lebanese and his mother, a Muslim, is no . .. .. .. .ing terrorist. She's one of the nicest individuals I've ever met.
 
How do you perceive this as racist? Is everyone you know in the military? No, but you still build military units in the game. It is a unit, and you can only have 3 of them, as it replaces the spy. The amount of terrorists is a small amount of the population. There is absolutely no racism or religionism in the fact that I put a terrorist unit for Arabia. If you think there is, I don't know what to say. I know someone who is from Lebanon too, so if you would simply relax. When did I ever say "All people are terrorists"? First, its a game. Second, it's a replacement for the Spy unit. The Spy. They are supposed to be dangerous characters. I'm sure your friends mother doesn't poison water supplies either, but Spies can.
 
Oh, and a couple other things:
1. The Civ people themselves put Stalin into the game. One of the world's worst butchers of humanity ever, and he's a leader you can play.
2. A popular mod someone made is the Hitler Leaderhead, again, same as #1.
3. I could also add that the Inquisitor mods in various scenarios is 100% ahistorical for many reasons that I won't go into here.

Finally: I hardly consider all Muslims terrorists, in fact far from it. If you want to know my true opinion, then here it is:
We are all created by God in His image, to Love and serve Him. To kill another human being, unless in the most dire of circumstances, is an offense against God's creation and against God Himself. What saddens me so much about terrorism is that the few, and I emphasize few, who do it, think they are doing God's will when they are so far from it as to be quite sad. We are ALL, repeat, ALL God's children, whether Christian, Jew, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, etc, and while I personally confess as a Roman Catholic Christian, all of our faiths have ways of leading us to God. And while I hate terrorism, I do not hate the terrorists, because they are God's children as well. I only wish that they will come to realize the harm and evil they cause and that God will forgive them.

Anyways, death and evil is a part of this world, just as much as Stalin or Hitler are leaders for Civs. So while terrorism is evil, I don't see why they can't be a unit for Arabia. Anyways, that's my 2 cents for the day I guess.
 
You could change it to Assassin to make it more palatable I suppose. That would be historically accurate since the Hashashim and the Man in the Mountain are the origin of the word assassin.

The Hashashim were a Muslim sect of assassins that existed in the 6th, 7th, and 8th centuries.

PS I don't have a problem with it, but I see where some people would get upset.

Thanks, I'll consider it for my next release.
 
The corporation Icons are a bit mixed up.

Mining Inc shows as Standard Ethanol, Sid's Sushi shows up on the city icon line as Taoism.

Weird, I'll have to look into that.
 
Its your mod man dont let hyper sensitive people make you feel like you have to change anything.

Just like TV or movies or games you can choose to turn the channel or turn it off.

What he said! I think you have a neat mod here and appreciate you aren't being all politically correct since the religion you choose, for an example, actually makes a difference in the game...something Firaxis could never do w/o fear of legal fallout (HOW DARE YOU IMPLY RELIGION X WOULD SPREAD SLOWER).
 
Hey, I'm offended by the Phallos-like rocket in your montage, Change it!
:joke:




Seriously, here is another voice in support of your right to make your mod whichever way you like it.:goodjob:
