Civilization Request Thread

[Scapegrace]

I've put together a huge amount of ideas over the course of my time here. It's my hobby. Other people have different hobbies, like going outside or friendship. =]

 

[TranquilSilence]

I trust this is of interest to you. =]

Yes.

You can be assured that all of my interest has been piqued, particularly by Connacht (and the rangers, of course). I mean, let's face it - Connacht's coat of arms is too bizarre not to be used in some fashion.

 

[ldvhl]

Wow. You have a list with dozens of civs, no?

Those of us who are historians have little else to contribute than design ideas.

 

[Urdnot_Scott]

We should start a club or something. Freelance designers

 

[Zantonius Hamm]

I am happy to know I'm not alone. Although I realised that once I discovered this thread.

 

[ldvhl]

I did set up a group, but so far Scape and I are the only members.

 

[AW Arcaeca]

Put me in, coach! =]

I trust this is of interest to you. =]

I just realized that you posted exactly this ~10 pages back.
The things you stumble upon while waltzing through the forums...

 

[Scapegrace]

Well, not exactly that - I fiddled about with Dal Riata, Mercia, and Ulster - but your point is made. =]

 

[Natan35]

I am happy to know I'm not alone. Although I realised that once I discovered this thread.

Hey! Hey! What about me (and my Indonesia split ideas)?

 

[Hoop Thrower]

I did set up a group, but so far Scape and I are the only members.

Oh, I remember you mentioning it sometime, I thought it never amounted to anything...

 

[ldvhl]

Oh, I remember you mentioning it sometime, I thought it never amounted to anything...

Yup. Just like everything else I've done here.

 

[Scapegrace]

Don't be sad, old spot! Just keep chucking the mud at the proverbial wall. 'S'what I did, and now I am CL's official "Semi-Expert Can't Actually Be Bothered To Do Anything But Look Up Weird Precolonial African Histories God Above My Life Is Empty" Type Person! =]

 

[Natan35]

Yeah.... be more specific, please.

 

[Urdnot_Scott]

Assyria Split​

Old Assyrian Kingdom​

Leader: Erishum I
UA: Copper and Liberation
Domestic trade routes yield +1 gold for every mine in the receiving city. Gold gifts to city states are 33% more effective if you have a trade route to this city state.

UU: Bronze Chariot (Replaces Chariot archer)
When trained, receive +5xp for every worked source of Iron or Copper. Much higher defensive strength than the Chariot Archer it replaces.

UI: Karum
Must be built in neutral territory adjacent to Assyrian borders. If built on a luxury, automatically connects this luxury for the empire and this luxury will be counted towards resource diversity in all future trade routes.

Assyrian Empire​

Leader: Ashur-uballit I
UA: High Priest of Ashur
Whenever the capital is celebrating 'We Love the King Day', all cities connected to the capital receive +1 faith from all specialists. Receive a lump sum of faith equal to the number of faith buildings in the empire whenever you adopt a social policy.

UU: Sangū (Replaces Great Prophet)
When a šangū is born in the capital, the city enters 'We Love the King Day'. When a šangū constructs a holy site, hurries production in the nearest city.

UB: Kiskanu (Replaces Temple)
Generates +2 faith and has a slot for a priest specialist, which, when filled, generates +2 faith and +1 production.

Neo-Assyrian Empire​

Leader: Tiglath-Pileser III
UA: The Empire Immemorial
Land units receive a +5% combat bonus for every capital held by Assyria. Whenever a Great General is born or a military building constructed in the capital, receive a maintenance free infantry unit.

UU: Reformed Infantry (Replaces Swordsman)
Receives the unique promotion 'Shock tactics' which gives it a substantial bonus on attack and reduces the combat strength of adjacent enemies upon a successful attack. Receives no defensive terrain bonuses, however.

UU: Seige Tower (Replaces Catapult)
Is a melee unit, unlike the catapult it replaces, but grants a 50% bonus against cities for all units within two tiles, and starts with the cover I and +1 sight promotions.

 

[DonStamos]

Here's one I worked up for fun, based on the state where I grew up (and thus have enough history knowledge to attempt this):

West Virginia​

Leader: Francis H. Pierpont
UA: Almost Heaven
Coal resources provide double quantity and may be discovered after a Mine is built. Gain +1 Culture for each Hill and Mountain tile in your territory, and +1 Tourism from Hills and Mountains after researching Flight.
UU: Mountaineer
Replaces the Musketman. Combat bonus in Hills/Mountains. May build Camps. (edited as original design ended up being the original Minuteman, showing how often I play America, and probably pretty weak. Need to rethink it.)
UB: Steel Mill
Replaces the Factory. Each source of Coal worked by the city provides +1 Gold. If built in a city next to a river, the Steel Mill provides an additional 5% Production.

Events:
Hatfield-McCoy Feud, Battle of Blair Mountain (largest armed labor uprising in US history), "Country Roads" bonus event
Decisions: Construct the Green Bank Telescope, Form the Kanawha Militia (some Mountaineers and Daniel Boone as a Great General)

I tried to keep it different from the Appalachia mod already on Steam, and the Events/Decisions aren't very fleshed out in the post, but they're the best I felt I could run with. Thoughts?

 

[Natan35]

The still mill is a bit too weak...

 

[DonStamos]

I've been debating on whether to up the price or not, because as-is, it's strictly better than the Factory (2 bonuses and nothing taken away).

 

[Natan35]

I think it should provide extra production from resources improved by mines\quarries.
(Doesn't fit the building, but fits west virginia, isn't it?)

 

[orikos]

Urdnot Scott, great civs, but why without Ashurbanipal?

 

[Urdnot_Scott]

I thought it was weird that he was included in the first place, was planning on having him lead the final civ, Neo-Assyria, but couldn't bring myself to bump off Tiglath-Pileser III who was way more important, but more importantly, worked better with the new UA since I went with a straight combat bonus rather than referencing the libraries at Nivineh.
