Danization (Danish MOD)

I need some help: I need a name for a building that allows the 2nd city size (5+). It should be possible to build it from the early or middle part of the Viking Age (must be about 700 AD when the first larger towns appeared in Danmark). It can't be anything with supplying water since that would become obsolete with Sanitation...
Any ideas?
 
Idea #3:
It would be nice to make it possible to choose which political party is in power when using the Constitutional Monarchy govt.
This could be done like this:
Every coalition of parties will become a building or small wonder, which can only be built in the capital (requires Palace). By using the "Replaces others buildings with this flag checked" (or whatever it's called) it will only be possible to have one of the buildings. This will make it impossible to have a power plant in your capital but it won't be a problem if the Government buildings gives a production bonus.
The following government buildings could be used:
Socialdemokraterne + De Radikale. The traditional left-wing/middle coalition. Could give something like a free Labour Uniun in all cities (Labour Uniun will be a new building, which gives +1 happy)
Venstre + De Konservative. The traditional right-wing coalition. I'm not quite sure which bonus this should give...

Is the political spectrum Left/Right Wing everywhere?

Yes... it's an international spectrum. (But it's not very good... it is a strange thing to place something as complicated as politics on a 2-dimensional figure...)

I thought you'd like to know JuuL, that theres a whole lot of great Tech Icons available on the Graphics Board(By Rufus mostly).

Thanks... but I have already downloaded most of the icons on the forum. I have even requested some special icons for the C3C version of Danization. I asked Ukas to make them since he makes the best ech icons (Rufus T. Firefly is better at making buildings).

Good mod idea BTW....very patriotic.

Thanks... I guess. I'm not sure that I feel so good about the word "patriotic", but I suppose you ment it in a good way :) :) :)

And thanks for writing my name in the right way... it doesn't look so good without the capital L at the end... :D
 
No problem JuuL. ;)

Love of one's country: Patriotism, usually its a good thing.

I actually requested some Norse Tech Icons from Ukas, although I haven't seen him on the board in awile. I could try and put toghether some for you if you want, just be warned I'm not expierenced at it.
 
I have already made a few icons myself (and they're not very good) and added a few from the forums...
But I can always use more icons.
I can't remember all the techs that I need icons for but these should be some of them: Alternative Energy (will be renamed to Wind Power), Football (European, not American), Brewing, Viking Sagas, Urbanization (Viking Age), Dense Urbanization (Industrial Age), Plastics, Cultural Changes (Modern Age) and many more...

:thanx:

And I just realised: The left-right wing spectrum is 1-dimensional (even worse than 2-dimensional)
 
Hmm... no comments for almost a month...
Anyway, I have some news about the C3C version of Danization to those few of you who are interested (my target group seems to be very small)
- I decided to name the mod "Gesta Danorum - the Deeds of the Danes".
- I have imported the old PtW rules to a new C3C file and made a new map. Danmark is quite smaller than before, but England, Estonia, the land of the Wends, Southern Norway, The Gold Coast and Virgin Islands have been added.
- I have added graphics to the civilopedia. I had to make some of it myself but at least all the buildings and techs have their own graphics now.
- I have added 9 techs.
As soon as I have checked the old pediatext for errors I am going to add ca. 10 improvements, 10 small wonders, 20 great wonders and 5 units. The mod will also include new advisors. I have not decided all the names yet and suggestions would really be appreciated.

While modding I got an idea. Since half of the map is Sweden (neutral, unpassable territory) I have wasted a lot of space. So I thought: "Why not add some Swedish civs?" But I don't know anything about Swedish history, so it would be really cool if somebody made a Swedish mod. I could then combine the two mods and make a Scandinavian mod with two unique tech-trees. Since it is possible to make up to seven unique tech-trees, I thought it might be cool to have Germany, Norway etc. in the mod, too.
That's why I started this thread:

If you are interested in this project you can post comments on the new thread.

The old thread (this one) will only be for comments about Danization and the C3C version of it.
 
Sorry JuuL I didn't see your response. OdintheKing has made some norse tech icons since I posted last.

Theres two versions of the Longboat availible(one with Conquests, the other with DyP, the latter one is good as a Heavy Longboat, or Long Serphent as the good ol Vikings called it)
 
I'm certainly not an expert on the Vikings...but I believe the Vikings had several varietys of Longboats. The largest ones were called Long Serphents and were commanded by the Viking's leaders.

Glad I could help!

Theres also the AoK Viking...that you could use as a later upgrade to the Beserker if you wanted to.
 
I wouldn't make the Long Serphent Upgrade from the Longboat, I'd make the Longboat a Light Attack Vessel/Transport, and the Long Serphent a Heavy Attack Vessel that costs more shields. The Vikings usually had a Long Serphant leading a naval expedition composed of normal Longboats if I'm correct.
 
Grand idea, first, to make this kind of mod.

Secondly, having read through the thread, I think the 'speaking in other tongues' bit is fun to read. Though it's a common touchstone, the world doesn't have to speak English. Plus, as obviously being an English-speaker but also having studied some German, I enjoyed picking out words in the sentences (like "skriv," for instance) that seemed somewhat cognitive.

All in good fun, and adds something to the forum.

Since a couple folks got grumpy on it, thought I'd chime in on the opposite side of the fence.
 
I also have an idea to this mod wat about u make it with all cites placed on the map....
but i think the game will take to mutch time to load and when u skip turn.
Good mod:)
Like i said 4 some days ago:D
 
to Pogue Mahone:
I'm impressed. I'm not sure I would have seen that "skriv" and "schreib" is the same if I only had known English and German.
- and thanks for the comments.

to Magma:
I like the idea about pre-placed cities, but you're right: The loading time would be too long.
But perhaps I will make some scenarios with pre-placed cities on a smaller map (after I have finished the C3C version). It would be fun to make Grevens Fejde, the war of Svend, Knud and Valdemar, the war in 1864 etc. etc.

Well, heck, not to go too OT, but even breaking it down in English- itself of course a Germanic language- there's echoes of them in it.

Schreib lends itself well to the English scribe. And an English synonym for 'scribe,' although more of an antiquated term not given to common contemporary usage, is scrivener, which naturally echoes your skriv. Although the bulk of the Danish was naturally beyond me, a couple of the shorter sentences had enough such 'clues' to give a rough idea of the meaning.

Although the only connexion to Denmark I have was a crush on a Danish girl in college (who was gorgeous), I'll definitely give your mod a whirl once you've got the final cut produced and I finish my current campaign. Keep it up! :goodjob:
 
Mayby u could add Sweden and Germany as Civs and them in an eternal war Against All the other Civs in Denmark :D
 
to Pogue Mahone:
That was very OT - but actually rather interesting. BTW, "scribe", "skrive" and "schreiben" seems to be imported from Latin ("scribere" = to write). Is there an older word for "writing" in English? (like the Danish "riste")

to Magma: Good idea. But it would be strange if the Germans started building Danish wonders like Dannevirke and Rosenborg.... they would have to be different in some way... I could use the "no wonders" and "no small wonders" options in the civ editing menu but I'm not sure that it would be very interesting two fight to civs that can't build wonders... so Germany and Sweden would have to have their own techs, units and wonders - but I don't know enough about their history to make it myself...

I actually started this thread a few months ago... but nobody seems to be interested in joining the project....
