Civilization Request Thread

Ahah its.. complicated :lol:
 
Churchill having an infantry focus makes absolutely 0 sense, the British army was abysmally poor throughout the whole war - our navy was by far the best bit and any churchill civ without this as its main focus doesn't work historically Natan. This is what I mean by 'do more research'

It sorta works as a conscription mechanic, but I agree, navy takes priority here.
 
Here's one I've been working on for a bit.

Aurangzeb - The Mughals
:c5capital: Agra (not sure what his backup capital should be atm)
UA: World-Seizer
Inquisitors and Great Prophets may be used to remove rival religions from your cities up to three times. Whenever a city following an enemy religion is conquered or a city is converted to your religion, gain a sum of :c5goldenage: Golden Age points.
UU: Multi-barreled Cannon or Sowar
The multi-barreled cannon would be more expensive than regular Cannon, but once placed, may attack more than once per turn. The cannons themselves were developed by Fathullah Shirazi for Akbar, but I figured this could be another way to highlight Mughal artillery prowess (though I'm not sure just how much the multi-barreled cannons were used).
-or-
The Sowar would be a Dragoon(?) replacement. Would get a combat bonus against cities of rival religions. Really, I haven't come up with anything exciting for this, but it's a bit more justifiable as a UU.
UB: Karkanah
Replaces the Artist's Guild. Contains a slot for Great Works of Art. During Golden Ages, Great Artist production is boosted by 50%.
Under Aurangzeb, these buildings (described by Francois Bernier) made valuable textiles. I kind of mashed it together with his love for calligraphy to work with the UA a little better.

Genuinely interested in how this could be made better. I figured Aurangzeb (and his zealotry) were perfect to make a "one world religion" warmonger Civ :p

See "alternate elements". They're there for a reason, you know....

@walrus(+Urdnot_Scott and everyone): complicated is when people immigrate to another country to speak language they never spoke before instead of the native one. This explanation is also, complicated.

@Don: I'm not an India spec(I don't "research enough" :mischief:), but that looks nice. I'm updating my obsessed civ designs now.

Modern Israel(joke civ. Please don't get annoyed by it, its a joke civ. Even if its not funny.)
Spoiler :
Leader:Golden dragon of the KKK

Yeshuv
Spoiler :
Leader: David Ben Gurion
UA: Aliyah
Each follower of your religion in non enemy cities increases the :c5food: growth and :tourism: tourism from harbors, airports and in cities that follow you by 2%, and also provides 1 :c5food: food and tourism from :trade: trade routes.

UU: Halutz(version 1)
Replaces great war infantry. Weaker(42 :c5strength:), but may build farms, mines, roads, railroads and Kibbutzim. Has a 33% friendly lands bonus and they also receive a 50% bonus while fortifying(instead of 40%).

It has a base yield of 1 :c5culture: culture\:c5faith: faith. Must not be built adjacent to another kibbutz. It will yield 1 :c5food: food, :c5production: production or :c5culture: culture if you adopt freedom, order or autocracy, respectively.


Kingdom of Israel

Spoiler :
Leader: David
UA: King's Law
During a :c5war: war, may consume citizens that follow your religion to completely heal your unit and grant it an 8-turn combat boost (33%), or to boost :c5production: production. The worker construction speed and the amount of :c5goldenage: golden age points you get are increased by 5% per each city that you have founded and follows your religion (up to 25%).

UU:Roe Tzon
Replaces Worker. While stationed on tile that yields :c5faith: faith, increases :c5greatperson: great people generation from that tile by 5%. Has +1 :c5moves: movement.


I know, a lot of Hebrew.
 
Is anyone interested in an idea I have for a civilization, it makes use of snow tiles. Let me know and I'll post it here. It's not based on a real person or place.
 
I do! New ideas are always interesting!
 
Sure! Just post it and we'll rip it to shreds provide detailed and constructive criticism. =]
 
An idea for Öselians, it's my first ever try on this, so if something's stupid, OP or plain wrong - rip it to shreds! Otherwise I probably won't learn :D

Öselian Realm

Leader: King Wesse
UA: The Sea giveth and the Sea taketh away!
During Peacetime sea tiles adjacent to a City provide double the quantity of food, gold and production :c5food: :c5gold: :c5production: During :c5war:Wartime they lose this bonus, but instead will deal 10 points of damage to enemy troops ending their turn on them. This ability extends to all the (Sea)tiles the City has managed to claim, not just the adjacent ones!

UU: Piratica
Replaces Trireme. Slightly stronger :c5strength:12. Starts with Coastal Raider I and Can Move After Attacking bonuses. These carry over when upgraded, but only up until and including Renaissance era!

UB: Sacred Grove
Replaces Shrine. Provides 2:c5faith: if built in a coastal City, and units born in a coastal City with a Sacred Grove receive "Blessings of the Sea" an Embarkation with Defense bonus!

Possible Unique Event Idea: Põhjakonn(Dragon of the North) has awakened! A mythical beast possessing an enormous destructive power sleeping a sleep eternal, but has said to awaken when the threat to these lands is gravest. Can be both good or bad depending what triggers it, if triggered by excessive pillaging by enemy troops(at least 30% of total tile improvements have been destroyed), you'll receive a free Great General and Great Admiral plus 1 free promotion of your choice to all Naval units currently stationed in friendly territory. If triggered by you destroying nature by "improving every tile you see" The Dragon of the North will wipe out 50% of your military units and destroy 30% of your tile improvements! For this to happen 65% of the improvable tiles in your possession have to be improved, can't happen before you have built 3 Cities!

This one definitely needs tweaking and might not be a good idea at all.. but it's interesting I think :)
 
I love the ideas here - but in practice the UA is almost certainly way too powerful. Furthermore, enemy troops can't be on sea tiles so I'm not sure how that would work - do you mean adjacent to sea tiles? The UU looks solid and the UB is really great.
 
Polish Split

The Polanians
Leader: Miesko I
UA: People of the Plains
For every turn an enemy city is being :c5razing: razed, receive :c5production: production towards a free settler in the :c5capital: capital and cities settled on plains tiles. Whenever you settle a new city, receive a free cavalry unit in the :c5capital: capital.

UB: Horda (Replaces Settler)
The Horda is much faster than the Settler, receiving double :c5moves: movement points flat tiles. Furthermore, units adjacent to the Horda also receive double :c5moves: movement points on flat tiles and if it settles on a plains tile, all adjacent units receive a small amount of :c5war: experience.

UU: Pancerny (Replaces Horseman)
The Pancerny, unlike the Horseman it replaces, receives +2 :c5moves: movement points for 3 turns upon being trained and does not have a combat penalty against enemy cities. Furthermore, the Pancerny receives a +5% :c5strength: combat bonus for every movement point left over when it attacks an enemy.

Duchy of Poland
Leader: Boleslaw I Chobry
UA: Congress of Gniezno
All cities connected to the :c5capital: Capital generate :c5faith: faith equal to the amount generated from buildings in the :c5capital: Capital. Constructing faith-producing buildings in :c5occupied: occupied cities instantly removes excess :c5unhappy: unhappiness from :c5occupied: occupation and provides a small :c5faith: faith bonus in cities following your religion.

UB: Biskupstwo (Replaces Temple)
The Biskupstwo, unlike the Temple it replaces, generates +1 :c5faith: faith while at war with another major civilisation. Furthermore, cities with a Biskupstwo deal a small amount of damage to enemy missionaries within 3 tiles of the city.

UB: Shield-Bearer (Replaces Spearman)
The Shield-Bearer, unlike the Spearman it replaces, starts with the 'Cover' promotion, reducing the amount of damage it takes from ranged attacks. Furthermore, the Shield-Bearer takes 66% less damage from city attacks, while units adjacent to a Shield Bearer take 25% less.

Piast Kingdom
Leader: Casimir III
UA: Kazimierz District
Whenever an inquistor is used by a rival civilisation, all cities with a minority :c5faith: religion receive a :c5food: growth boost for 3 turns and generate :c5goldenage: Golden Age points equal to the number of religious buildings in this city. The length of Golden Ages is extended by one turn for each different religion in the capital.

UB: Osada (Replaces Market)
The Osada, unlike the Market it replaces, instantly converts a handful of citizens to a random :c5faith: religion upon being constructed. Furthermore, the Osada has a slot for a random specialist alongside its two Merchant specialist slots - when all three are filled, the Osada generates +2 :c5happy: happiness.

UU: Drużyna (Replaces Sworsman)
The Druzyna, unlike the Swordsman it replaces, receives a +10% :c5strength: combat bonus when fighting within friendly territory, and a further +3% :c5strength: bonus for every 5 citizens in your most populated city, up to a maximum of +50%.

I guess I meant naval units/embarked units, but typed "troops" for some reason.. I was thinking it probably would end up being too powerful, but I liked the basic gist of the idea itself too much :D

Maybe if the UA would only provide the double amount of :c5gold::c5food: and :c5production: from adjacent sea tiles to the city BUT only during golden ages?
Perhaps successful raiding could also work towards generating golden age points to tie it together with the overall theme. The UA could be called "Taara's Bounty"
 
Ah, i didnt know this. Probably only worth giving it like -33% damage from city attacks.
 
UA: The Sea giveth and the Sea taketh away!
During Peacetime sea tiles adjacent to a City provide double the quantity of food, gold and production :c5food: :c5gold: :c5production: During :c5war:Wartime they lose this bonus, but instead will deal 10 points of damage to enemy troops ending their turn on them. This ability extends to all the (Sea)tiles the City has managed to claim, not just the adjacent ones!

Like Scott said, this does sound overpowered. When you say double, do you mean it will provide an additional +1 Food or that it will actually +100% the Yield? Like, if you got a Lighthouse, the Food yield would go up to 4. Also, which ability is extended, the one from Peace time, the one from War time or both?

UU: Piratica
Replaces Trireme. Slightly stronger 12. Starts with Coastal Raider I and Can Move After Attacking bonuses. These carry over when upgraded, but only up until and including Renaissance era!
Why would you restrict the Promotion's duration? Is it only for thematic purposes?

By double I meant an additional +1, only the war time ability was meant to be extended further from shore than the tiles immediately next to the city, provided that the city actually had managed to claim tiles farther into the sea of course!

Yes it seemed to be "more right" somehow, I guess, but thinking about it, it doesn't make much sense.. Especially now that I realized even bonuses from Statue of Zeus still apply to most modern units! Well that's what happens, you try to be "cool" and end up looking stupid and your ships will be weaker :lol:
 
My binge-replying should be illegal, I should force myself to reply more frequently. Oh, well, here goes:

@Scotty
Spoiler :
Gaius Marius
I agree, I should change it to make it more balanced and relevant early in the game...

Caesar
JFD's England under Henry VIII gains WLTKD in all cities when captured, so I thought it wouldn't be too powerful. I also noticed I made a typo: the Centurion will not immediately build the buildings during WLTKD, it will take 1 turn for each instead. Hopefully that makes it more balanced.

I agree on the UB. The idea was that it would help you keep cities after capturing them, but it may not be as useful as I thought.

Augustus
Thanks, mang.

Trajan
The second part of the UA increases Production towards Buildings in the empire by +5% for every turn the empire was in a Golden Age that coincided with the war. Hopefully that was an easier formulation.

Constantine
Increased cost for creating an Archdiocese for every already in existence sounds perfect.

Theodosius
Ok, the Basilica will be nerfed, since everyone is against it. :p

Nero
Nero was the hardest one to design, by far. Maybe I should just omit him.

Marcus Aurelius
Maybe the bonus should be changed to only apply for military units outside, but near your borders.

Polanians
Good, settling civ. I like it.

Boleslaw I
Pretty cool once again.

Casimirrr
This is the only (and I mean only) Polish leader I know anything about, and I don't think this design fits him too well. That being said, I know you had to avoid overlaps with Janboruta's design, which is so delicately focused on Casimir's reformations.
It is clear that you tried to steer as far away from Jan's design, because it seems like you have problems connecting the effects of the uniques. Especially the UU seems almost completely set apart from the rest of the design.

Gameplay-wise, the design is interesting, but like I said I don't know if it is the most fitting for Poland. I also dislike the UB for being more of a pain than a benefit, and not really fitting Poland either (there weren't many followers of, say, Quetzalcoatl in medieval Poland).


@Scapegrace
Orhan Bey
There have already been a lot of responses to this design, but I just wanted to say that I really like it.

@GPuzzle
Etruscans (Most recent)
The UA sounds like it may have too many effects, as the extra Cargo Ship alone is pretty powerful. If the defensive building bonus is only +1, it's probably ok, though.

Spoiler :
@Natan
Victoria
This sounds interesting, but can you provide a further explantion of the Governor-General?

Churchill
This also sounds interesting, but I agree that an infantry focus is weird

Alternate Elements
Can you explain what this section acutally is? I have never understood it: is it just a place you dump other possibilities for the civs? If so, it could be helpful to note which alternates belong to which civs.

Modern Israel
Once again, interesting idea, but what the heck is this? Its name is Israel, but its leader is related to the KKK and the UA name hints to ISIS... what?!

Yeshuv
This is an incredibly powerful UA, as you can easily increase Food and Tourism to ridiculous amounts. The first version of the UU sounds a bit underpowered, to be honest, since the ability to build these improvements isn't that great when you have Workers that can do the same job while the units are out fighting. The other one is ok, but its effects don't make sense at all; Israel never had any overseas territories/colonies as far as I'm aware. The UI is ok.

David
Once again a pretty cool and interesting idea, but could you explain how the unique Worker functions? Will it make the tile increase Great Person Generation when it is worked?


@DonStamos
Aurangzeb
Cool civ design, it would be interesting to see it more polished.

@SonofaRose
Öselians
As already said, the trait is too powerful, but I love the concept!
