Maybe for a Viking civ, have Raider land UU and Longboat Aquatic UU, and when the Raider embarks it turns into a Longboat, and Vice versa.

 

[Fanatic Noob]

just a minor proposal...adding a poll?

Good idea!

 

[aatami]

If were going to have Hungary and Austria, might as well add Finland too.

 

[PEACE!]

If were going to have Hungary and Austria, might as well add Finland too.

the capitol of Austria is Vienna...and Vienna is a city state right?

 

[Camikaze]

As is Helsinki. And for that matter, Warsaw and Rio.

Give me some goddamn Dinosaurs.

I kid, i'd like to see some European civs, like Scotland and Poland in the first XP. Also, AVANTI ITALIA!

 

[aatami]

They have rome, so why should they add Italy?

 

[Giga34]

Because Rome and Italy aren't synonymous. Rome refers the the City of Rome and the Empire it produced, while Italy is the combined ethnicities of the Italian peninsula. And Italy went through a lot of ethnic mangling in it's time before unifictation, the Normans, the French, the Germans. Basically every nation under the sun was in Italy at some time, which makes the culture and Ideals of Rome completely different from the culture and ideals of Italy.

I want Carthage!!! he he he..... and give them the abilities to buy units at a cheaper price, but reduce their combat experience gain

 

[Pouakai]

The best suggestion is definitely Moorish Civ; North African & European civ. I would suggest leader Abd ar Rahman III, UU Mujaffafa (knight) UB Medina quarter and UA Moorish architecture.

To go along with this, Alhambra World Wonder.

 

[awesome]

some kind of aboriginal australian group, or the maori? maori could be led by hongi hika.

 

[Pouakai]

OK, with the maori, it's Hone Heke. And he was more of a Political activist, instead of a leader. I'd suggest Te Rauparaha as the leader, with Taiaha Warrior as the UU and Pa (Replaces Castle, city must be built on hill) as the UB.

hongi hika was important in the first musket war and i think he was hone heke's uncle or something. i never heard of te rauparaha, so i just looked him up. he didn't join the musket wars until 1819, a whole 12 years after they started, sooo yeah.
as for the unit, building and ability...

Spoiler :

...well, i got bored one day. ____ warrior is a generic name, so i went with toa, because that's a maori word for warrior. and a castle that has to be built on a hill makes the building weaker, so that makes no sense.

Maori:
Leader: Hongi Hika/Te Rauparaha
Unique unit: Toa
Replaces: Warrior
Hammers: 40
Strength: 7
Moves: 2
Ranged combat: N/A
Required resource: N/A
Upgrades to: Swordsman
Notes: N/A
Unique building: Marae
Replaces: Monastery
Production cost: 120
Maintenance: 2 gold
Required technology: Theology
Specialist slots: artist?
Effect: 4 culture
Ability:
Maori Shields: All land military units start with Cover I

the ability is kinda meh, but the unit and building are pretty decent, so i figured they didn't need an awesome ability. so to sum up, unit is a warrior with 1 extra point of base strength; building is a monastery that doesn't require any resources but doesn't get bonuses from them either, gets 4 points of culture and has a slot for an artist; ability is less damage from ranged attacks.

 

[awesome]

double post, oops.

 

[Pouakai]

Aah, I thought you'd made a mistake in spelling Hone Heke. Either way, Te Rauparaha was a massive warlord. He's called the 'Napoleon of the South pacific'. He (sucessfully) took part in a 3 month siege of a Pa (Maori village/city) and subsequent invasions across the south island, despite coming from Taranaki.

Toa is (No offence) but a useless name. If you don't like having '______ Warrior', then how about just 'Taiaha'? Also, I think it should replace Swordsman, and not require Iron to build. It matches the era much better.

Nice idea for Marae, but since when was a priest a specialist?

Also, maybe for the ability something about getting additional XP when killing a (Non-barbarian) unit? (Maori often ate their fallen enemies to gain their Mana)

 

[Oohforf]

Austrian Empire - Maria Theresa
Korean Empire - Wang Kon
Zulu Empire - Shaka Zulu
Ethiopian Empire - Zara Yaqob
Portuguese Empire - John II
Sioux Empire - Sitting Bull
Mayan Empire - K'inich Janaab' Pakal
Celtic Empire - Boudica
Mbundu Empire - Queen Nzinga

Those are the empires that I would like to see in future expansions, hehe.

 

[Pouakai]

I'd like to see some leaders that haven't featured in Civ IV (Zara Yaqob, Wang Kon, Shaka Zulu, Boudica, John II, Sitting Bull, )

no offense taken. only issue i have with just "taiaha" is that's the weapon, but maybe they'd have to use taiaha warrior, at least it's better than just using maori warrior.
i thought there were priest specialists was for some reason. maybe some other kind of specialist.

 

[Pouakai]

The monastery etc. all use artists. Maybe have 1 artist slot and 1 engineer slot?

Priests come with the IndyStone D.U.C.K.S mod (If/when it comes out)
