Civilization Request Thread

Elder scrolls civs, I've got vanilla and G&K for that? Or are you talking like actual mythology based?

 

I've always wanted to see:
(discounting BNW & mods on here...)

> Vietnam
> Khmer Empire
> Bulgarian Empire
> Holy Roman Empire
> Split Celts into Scotland, Wales, Ireland & Britanny
> Italy

 

Nubia
Inuit Eskimo
Anasazi
Navajo
Zimbabwe
Atlantis
Irish
Denmark
Australian Aboriginals

 

Denmark ?? Really !

 

I'd love to see the Sami people added. The only problem is that they never were a united nation, so a leader is hard to find.

 

Switzerland :

Leader : Guillaume-Henri Dufour

UA : Confederation

Each diplomat in Switzerland capital city gives +15% in all cities of its owner and +5% in all swiss cities. Mountain tiles give +1 +1 and +2 .

UB : Kreditanstalt

Replaces Bank. +25% gold, +1 gold for each 2 in the city, +2 when discovering Electricity.

UU : Confederate pikeman

Replaces Pikeman. +15% when attacking units from an hill tile to a non-hill tile. +100 when gifted and +15 if gifted to a city-state.

Dufour was the General (highest grade possible in war-time) of the swiss army during the Sonderbund civil war which opposed the conservative-catholic cantons (regions) and the liberal ones. He managed to make this civil war last only three weeks and have few casualities. He's considered as a national hero and most swiss towns have a road with his name.

Switzerland is a peace oriented civilization. I wanted a UA that prevented other civs to DoW Switzerland. A first draft was to give a hapiness disadvantage for DoW Switzerland. But I liked more the idea that having an alive switzerland was useful for civilizations. Hence the gold bonus. A 15% bonus might be considered high in comparaison to the 5% for Switzerland. But you have to remember that the bonus from multiples diplomats stacks, making possible to have +35% gold on a standart game (with 8 civs). In addition, a civ will always want to have a bonus in gold and will wonder that a +5% gold to Switzerland is small compared to what they get. The bonus for mountain tiles derives from the geographical situation of Switzerland (60% of its territory is mountain) and is a bit of a boost at the start of the game until the renaissance era (where the spies and diplomats appear).

The Kreditanstalt is of course linked with the bank and financial tradition of Switzerland. The GPT per capita represents the high revenue of most of the Swiss and the tax revenues that derive from it. The tourism revenue indicates the high position of the swiss financial place in the world and the interest of the people about it.

Finnaly the Confederate pikeman is a medieval unit inspired from the first Swiss soldiers who defended their rights against the imperial army led by the Habsburgs who wanted to take back their domain (Habsburg is a castle in the middle of Switzerland). During this periods of resistance (roughly between 1291 and 1499), the swiss peasants fighted against the noble cavalry and were known for their courage and their strength. For example, the pope Julius II asked for 200 swiss soldiers as his personnal. Which is now the Swiss Guard. The hill bonus derives from the Morgarten battle where the Swiss trapped the cavalry between the hills and the lake and throw at them lumbers and stones before fighting them. The gold and influence bonus is a reference to the swiss mercenary who fought for other nations (and sometimes having swiss fighting on both sides during a battle).

Speaking of strategy, Switzerland is oriented towards gold generation and diplomacy. Wanting his diplomat in Swiss capital city prevents from DoW, denouncing and even having this city conquered by another civilization. The confederate pikeman can be used either as a mean of defense or a mean of having more influence on CS. Since confederate pikemen are obsolete with metalurgy (with the lancer), Switzerland can stress on the upper side of the tech tree and take profit of the arsenal of democracy to boost influence on CS. With all of those elements, Switzerland is good for a Diplomatic Victory, a Science Victory (using buying SS parts with gold) or even Cultural Victory (having a bit of a boost with the Kreditanstalt).

 

Few ideas and some Civs I'd like to see. If only I could mod! Haha!

Umayyad Caliphate
Capital: Córdoba
Leader: Muawiyah I

UA: Sons of Umayya
Grants an additional +5 Faith and +5 Culture when converting a City to your Religion.
UI: Qsar
Can only be built in deserts. Like a fort, but also grants +1 Faith and +1 Gold
UU: Muslim Conquerers
25% stronger vs. Cities, however costs x2 tax. Replaces swordsman.

Always wanted to see this as a Civ. Would make a great Muslim counterweight to the Celts to be a Civ focused on Religion & Domination. They expanded Islam into Europe, expanding from Syria into much of Spain. And they hold the distinction of having the 5th largest empire!

Austria-Hungary (Replaces Austria)
Capital: Vienna
Leader: Franz Joseph I

UA: Dual Monarchy
Grants the same bonuses to Budapest as if it had a Palace (including trade route)
UB: Kaiserlich Akademie
Replaces Military Academy. Provides a production bonus when building infantry units.
UU: Magyar Huszar
Same as Austria's UU

Thought it was a shame when they included Austria but didn't include it as part of Austria-Hungary! Another Civ more geared towards Domination.

Duchy of Florence
Capital: Firenze
Leader: Cosimo I

UA: Into the Renaissance
Provides a culture bonus (%) for every Policy tree completed
OR
UA: <Undecided name>
Provides +3 Culture per turn after completing the Patronage tree for every allied City State
UB: Florentine Senate
Replaces Opera House, but also provides +2 Gold per turn
UB: Florentine Port
Replaces Sea Port. Also provides +2 Culture for every improved sea resource.

Everyone always harps on about a Venetian Civ! While I do love the idea of a Venetian Civ, everyone forgets how influential the Florentines were on the Italian Peninsula - especially during the Renaissance! I figured with the Venetians being merchants, the Florentines should be more geared up towards Culture.

Cyprus
Capital: Nicosia
Leader: Guy of Lusignan

UA: Crusader Kingdom
Provides a combat bonus when fighting troops of a different religion
UB: Templar Stronghold
Replaces Castle. Provides a +10 Defence bonus, but also provides unhappiness.
UU: Crusader
Provides faith when defeating a unit of a different Religion. Replaces Longswordsman.

I figured there were no proper crusader states! Quite a plain Civ; more built up for defence if anything with a bit of faith peppered in to reflect being a Crusader state. Could probably be fit for any victory type.

Romania
Capital: Bucharest
Leader: Vlad the Impaler

UA: România Mare
Bucharest, Sibiu, & Târgovi&#537;te grow their borders at 25% the normal rate
UB: SovRom
Replaces Factory. Loses production bonus, but also grants +1 of modern strategic resource.
UU: Impaler
Replaces Pikeman. Gives Fear (?) penalty vs. enemies.

I've always thought it a massive crime that Vlad the Impaler hasn't been included in Civ! He's legendary! I wanted to think up a Civ that makes Romania quite rounded; that gives a nod to the Medieval Romania when Vlad was at the helm beating back to Ottomans, but also bearing the production focused Communist era in mind.

Khmer Empire
Capital: Angkor
Leader: Jayavarman VII

UA: Land of the Temple Mountain
Mountain tiles provide a faith and culture bonus
UB: Bayon
Replaces Temple. Also provides a +2 Culture bonus when city is built near a Jungle.
UB: Khmer Rouge
Replaces Infantry. Gains a bonus when fighting in jungle tiles.

Really am quite interested in the Khmer Empire, and unsure why I've not seen a mod with them in so far! Definitely a Civ with a Culture focus with a few bonuses coming from Jungles, but also wanted them to have a modern edge and a nod to the Khmer Rouge.

Just a few ideas I've had! Feel free to tear them apart/suggest ideas to make them better. Or, better yet, make them! That would be pretty awesome! I hope you've enjoyed reading them, anyway.

 

I think I may wnat to learn how to mod so I could make this:
Republic of Cuba
Leader: Fidel Castro
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
UA: Communist Influences:
20% production towards military units and the cost of purchasing them goes down my 1/3 when at war. Also unhappiness and time of resistance from conquered cities is multiplied by 1.5%
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
UU: Black Wasps: Marine replacement with drill I and cover I, strength remains untouched, cheaper to build.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
UB: Gallows: Replacement for the courthouse. Can't be purchased and takes longer to build but has no maintenance every 10 turns after being built there is a gold bonus.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Let me know what you think!
EDIT if you originally saw the UA to improve happiness that was a typo it increases unhappiness.

 

Cuba could work well with BNW, I'll wait until after BNW release and see what we can do

 

Yeah, I was thinking Cuba would fit in well with the ideologies system.

 

Olmec
Color: Medium grey, jade green
Capitol:La venta
Leader: Tetlitzontecon
Ability: "Heart of Mesoamerica"-
Golden ages increse beaker production by 15%. Culture bonus every time a great person is bornin an olmec city. (Culturebonus scales with era)
UU: Tamoanchan (replaces warrior)- no movement penalties, near capitol bonus 20% (symbol is Kunz jade axe head)
UB: Collosal Head (replaces monument)- 3 culture, 1 happiness.(symbol is collosal head... I know, shocking.)

 

I've always wanted to see The Sims as a playable civilization. But I'm horrible at modding. If someone could do it for me I'd be very grateful. Here's the idea:

The Sims
Leader: Admiral Landgraab
UU: Top Gun (replaces fighter) Starts off with enough XP for a promotion
UB: Park (replaces garden) No fresh water requirement, +2 happiness
UA: Play with Life: Can upgrades units for half cost

+1 Production yield from Hills and Mountains. No maintenance cost for mounted units.

Srivijaya

(since Majapahit will be in-game on BNW)

 

Hi all.
Me and my good pal (username Tsar Nicholas II) have been looking at discussion forums and lists and what not and have been hammering out a handful of Civs that we would like to see as part of some future DLC packs. We plan on attempting to create these as mods, but neither of us has any sort of experience, so it would take a while. In the meantime, I figure I'd put all of these out as a sort of very specific request. If anyone wants to grab at them, go to it, but a heads up would be appreciated.

Also, we obviously haven't had a chance to playtest any of these and therefore are only assuming that they would work well. They are completely up for further discussion and alteration.

Also, it is worth mentioning on this one that we have considered eliminating it entirely with the news of the Shoshone and their Comanche unit. We still believe the Comanche as a whole are very worthy of inclusion and would be fun but we wouldn't want such a blatant overlap in representation (especially when one of our UU's is also a cavalry replacement).

Although not exactly your suggestions, some of these civs have really high quality mods already done that you might be interested in:

Hittite Empire
Hungarian Empire
Israeli Empire
Kongo
Vietnamese Empire

 

Oh, I didn't mean to be completely original or take full credit for these (I'll freely admit we ripped many ideas from other posts and or mods, these are just the specific versions we'd like to see), but thanks anyway for the mod links. I'll be sure to check them out.

 

Posting an idea for an Australian civ for BNW if anybody has interest in it.

UA: Gold Rush: Replaces a golden age (similar to Brazil's Carnival replacing a golden age). Gold Rush's provide +1 g and +1 p on tiles with existing production and gold (like the the original GA, represents the mining boom), 20% culture bonus, plus during a Gold Rush, population from other cities emigrate to yours.

UU: Anzac Soldier: Bonus combat strength vs units at war with a friendly civ or city state (if not possible, maybe adjacent unit and/or harsh terrain [rough + desert] bonus).

UB: Showgrounds: Circus replacement with bonus tourism/culture.

For the leader, I can't think of anyone famous/infamous enough to stand out. For colours, I would go inverse of Ottomans (bold enough, suitable and unique).

 

I would like to see a JFK mod for America, and maybe a "what-if" RFK mod also, lol

 

I'm making 22 civs that are in the Belgariad nad Mallorean books by David Eddings it going to take awhile though.
