[Saya3005]

Civ : Roman Republic
Leader : Lucius Junius Brutus
Leader Ability : Can Train Legionary
Leader Ability : + 5 Strength for melee unmounted Units, +5 additional against barbarians
Music : Found some Interesting roman battlemusic. dunno if links are allowed.
Civ Ability : Imperium Romanum : Cities (except Maincity) dont generate production,science through trade, all citiers gain 50% more culture and faith through trade
Uniqe civ thingy : classical roads are displayed as stone roads, overrides other classical roads. No advantage just a immersion thing
Civ District: Trading domum : replaces commercial hub, no bonus through rivers Gains +2 Gold near Towncenter, (Maintown only) +0.5 Production per traderoute per era and +0.5 production per traderoute (1 at ancient, 1,5 at classical, 2 medival... until 5 at future era)
Civ Improvement : Tentorium : +5 Heal for ranged units per round ( if the archer gets attacked or attacks another unit ) , +5 strength for units with a great general.
Legionary : Replaces Swordsman, 50% higher cost, Same maintance,-5 Strength Strength -1 movement if near Legionary, +5 strength against attacking archers While near other Legionary(1 max), +5 Strength while near another Legionary (2 Max)

Likes : Civs with High culture, Civs with High military OR economy (Based on Traderoutes (0.8 * X (number of cities owned))
Dislikes : Civs with many Cities,

I hope this is balanced / the idea can be balanced. The idea was a civ that is focussed on traderoutes from the main states.

Someone has probably already imagine what Byzantium could give, but I had not the motivation to find it in these 40 pages of excellent ideas. So the ideas I'm going to give are not copied from someone else (it would be a coincidence), they are original
I just wanted to warn about 2 things : i was not very (else not at all) inspired for names ; Byzantium design could make a broken civ. I'm obviously open for discussion

Emperor Alexios I Komnenos of Byzantium
Capital : Konstantinoupolis

Leader Ability : Komnenian Restoration
Each of your trade routes sent to an Allied civilization provides an additional +2 Culture/turn. Each captured City gives you an amount of Culture equivalent to 33% of your actual Culture/turn. In time of war, each unit costs 1 more Gold/turn but each city loss increases your units Strength by 2 points.

Leader Unique Component : Kataphraktos
Medieval Heavy Cavalry Unit
Replaces Knight
Unlocked by Feudalism
Consumes 5 Iron and 5 Horses when created
More expensive to produce (240 Production, 960 Gold) but cheaper to maintain (2 Gold/turn)
Less Melee Strength (40 instead of 48)
Has a ranged attack (32 Range Strength, 1 Range) but can still attack in melee
Ignores enemy zone of control
+4 Melee Strength against wounded units
+8 Melee Strength if next to another Cataphract (bonus doesn’t stack with multiple Cataphracts)

Leader Agenda : Call for the First Crusade
Likes civilizations which allies with himself or who declare War of Reconquest. Will tend to ask for joint war against its enemies. Dislikes civilizations which declare surprise wars against him or one of his allies.

Empress Theodora of Byzantium or Rome
Capital : Constantinopolis

Leader Ability : Time of Rebuilding and Reforming
You can change your policies for half the usual Gold cost or by spending Faith. Doing so will give you an amount of Culture equivalent to 66% of the original cost. No anarchy from switching Government. Building Districts and Wonders in your Capital is 10% faster.

Leader Unique Component : Metanoia
Classical Building
Replaces Temple
Unlocked by Theology
Cheaper to produce (90 Production) and cheaper to maintain (1 Gold/turn)
Provides 4 Faith/turn, 2 Culture/turn, 1 Amenity and 1 Great Prophet point/turn
Has 1 Relic slot, 1 Great Work slot and 1 Citizen slot
Each Religious unit recruited in a city with this building gives you an amount of Culture equivalent to 33% of their original Faith cost

Leader Agenda : Legis et Spiritus Augusta
Likes civilizations which have amenities and often reform their government. She will also try to do so. Dislikes civilizations who lack of amenities and don’t reform their government.

Byzantine Civilization
Civilization Ability : Legacy of Leo the Philosopher
Each Citizen slotted into a Campus, an Encampment or an Industrial Zone provides an additional +1 Science/turn and 1 Great Scientist point/turn. Each Citizen slotted into a Theater Square, an Entertainment Complex or a Holy Site provides an additional +1 Culture/turn and 1 Great Writer point/turn

Civilization Unique Infrastructure : Hippodromos
Classical Building
Replaces Arena
Unlocked by Games & Recreation
Cheaper to produce (120 Production) and no maintaining cost
Provides 1 Culture/turn, 1 Gold/turn and 1 Amenity
Provides an additional +1 Culture/turn and +1 Gold/turn if there are Horses in the city
Provides an additional +1 Culture/turn and 1 Amenity if these Horses are improved

Civilization Unique Unit : Dromon
Medieval Naval Ranged Unit
Does not replace any existing unit
Unlocked by Naval Tradition
Upgrades from Quadrireme, upgrades to Frigate
Consumes 10 Iron when created
Costs 180 Production (or 720 Gold) to produce and 3 Gold per turn to maintain
Has 36 Melee Strength and 4 Movement points
Has a ranged attack (42 Range Strength, 2 Range) but cannot attack in melee
+4 Melee Strength if you own at least 1 Niter (bonus doesn’t stack with multiple Niter)
Cannot enter Ocean tiles until Cartography is discovered

 

[Irish Lover]

Hi civ community!
I'm new to the forums, I'm a fan of history and historical games such as aoe, total war series and paradox. I started playing civ 6 since december and I've been loving it.

Now I want to share here my idea for a new civilization. It is for the all mighty Soviet Union, I've already read some discussions about this subject, some people think Soviet leaders should be available as Russian alternate leaders. Some others think they should not be a civ at all since it is enough with Russians. I think however Soviets should be depicted in the game, why? well, the question should be why not? Even though the Soviet Union was a short lived state, it was a really important one, it left an indelible mark in world and civilization history. I also think they deserve a civ of their own because Tsarist Russia has a different focus and playstyle than the USSR would have. Besides, having both Tzarist Russia and USSR as separate civs would allow players to have recreate conflicts like the Russian revolution and civil war.
My proposal has been based on ideas that I've found in the forums, already existing mods and my own original ideas. I don't claim any right over this ideas, so anyone can use them for their own proposal or mod developing. So after saying all of this here is my proposal.

Soviet Union

- Civilization theme: based on Katyusha instrumental versions (the one in link is my favourite).

- Civilization ability:
Republic of the Soviets. +35% production towards campus, space port and industrial zone districts. Industrial zone districts provide +1 amenities. Can't found religions.

- Unique Unit: T-34. replaces tank, slightly stronger than regular tank (+2 strength). Cheaper production (380), requires half oil and gold maintenance than regular tanks.

- Unique infrastructure:
Naukograd. replaces research lab, +50% science yields, +2 great scientist and great engineer points per turn and +20% production towards space projects in this city.

Leaders:
• Nikolai Lenin

- capital: Petrograd

- Unique Ability:
Commitern. +50% diplomatic favor for every alliance and city state you are suzerain of, additional +50% diplomatic favor for alliances with same government civilizations. +1 favor during 10 turns for every city that has turned over to you due to loyalty pressure.

- Unique Unit:

Red Guard. Replaces infantry, +7 combat strength against civs with different government. +50% production to red guard in cities with an industrial zone.

- Agenda:
Proletarian Revolution. Likes civilizations with a high amount of industry and happy people. Dislikes civilizations with low industry or unhappy people.



• Iosif Stalin

- Capital: Moscow

- Unique Ability:
Great Patriotic War. +50% production towards military units, industrial zones and military encampments during 15 turns after being declared surprise war. -100% war weariness for battles in own territory, enemy receives +50% war weariness and natural disaster damage in allied territory.

- Unique infrastructure:
NKVD HQ. Tier 3 government plaza building. Grants a free spy when built. +3 loyalty per turn in all cities. +50% production towards spies in this city. Enemy espionage operations in own territory have an extra +35% failure chance.

- Agenda:
Iron curtain. Likes civilizations which doesn't send envoys to city states where he holds suzerainty. Really dislikes civilizations that send envoys to his city states and will not hesitate to attack civilizations that have declared war upon his city states.



Strategy:
Soviet unique ability allows them to build campuses, industrial zones and space ports faster as well as their district improvement turns the scientific victory their best bet. However their leaders abilities may allow for other victory path. Lenin's unique hability should allow the acumulation of more diplomatic favor and aim for a diplomatic victory. Stalin's ability should allow the soviets to survive early wars and possibly strike back their enemies thus making domination victory viable.
One of their disadvantages is not being able to use their unique units and infrastrucres until late game. However been able to construct campuses and industrial zones faster should increase their survival chances in early game.

Leaders dialogues:
I have thought of possible dialogues, most of them are based on actual quotes from this characters or other people from the same time.

Lenin.
Greeting: My name is Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, leader of the USSR and the Communist International. We Socialists always stand for democracy, not in the name of capitalism, but in the name of clearing the path for our movement.

Agenda-based disapproval: Socialists must explain to the masses that they have no other road of salvation except the revolutionary overthrow of their governments.

Agenda-based approval: Thanks to your efforts, the dictatorship of the proletariat will soon become a reality.

Declares War: There are times when the interests of the proletariat call for ruthless extermination of its enemies in open armed clashes.

Attacked: Socialists cannot achieve their great aim without fighting against all oppression of nations.

Defeated: The Bolsheviks have failed to bring the dictatorship of the proletariat, but the class strugle is far from over.


Stalin.

Greeting: Hello! I'm comrade Stalin, welcome to the unbreakable union of free republics, the united, mighty Soviet Union!

Agenda-based disapproval: If you are afraid of wolves, keep out of the woods.

Agenda-based approval: We recognize in true people our friends, those who make our contry a reliable stronghold of the peoples' happiness

Declares War: There are no fortresses that Bolsheviks cannot storm! We grew our army in battles, we'll go from victory to victory!

Attacked: Russia is a vast land, but there’s nowhere to retreat, Moscow is behind us! Not one step back!

Defeated: I'm finished. I trust no one, not even myself.


Names for Cities taken from renamed russian cities and cities from other soviet republics:
- Leningrad
- Rostov
- Karkov
- Kaliningrad
- Stalingrad
- Chernobyl
- Kursk
- Donetsk
- Kirovgrad
- Gagarin
- Sevastopol
- Belgorod
- Glukhov
- Minsk
- Kiev
- Tallin
- Kishinev
- Dushanbe
- Ashkhabad
- Alma-Ata


This is my civ proposal, I'd like to know your thoughts, maybe is to OP or some things could be different/better. I'd like to hear your comments.

I like it !

I like the design but I have questions about why the big tundra/snow start bias and unique improvement?
Weren't those ranches that the gauchos worked on so wouldn't they not be located in the tundra and snow?

I feel like another "ranch" improvement would be too similar to the hacienda for Gran Colombia. I would go with a Tango Salon personally in the theater square to still make them geared toward a cultural victory.

tango salon seems apt, yeah

we should really compile all of those mockups in the posible new frontier civs here, lmao

Content to be added into Game for all civilizations
Generic District: Healthcare District
Requires Medicine Tech at Renaissance Era
Allows the following buildings and its replacements: Apothecary, Hospital, Medical Laboratory
Increase the rate both military units and city itself will recover health per turn
Enable Remedy Research Project.
Disaster(GS): Epidemy
A disaster causes by disease on people
When is early game reach will be lower due to having no trade routes to spread it
When is late game reach will be higher due to having many trade routes to spread it

 

[PaperPaulo]

Apothecary: tier 1 building, available at Medicine technology, grants extra healing per turn for military units within city borders and for city itself, increase city healthness.
Hospital: tier 2 building, available at Sanitation technology, grants extra healing per turn for military units within city borders and for city itself, increase city healthness, required for build medic unit.
Medical Laboratory: tier 3 building, available at Biochemistry technology (Atomic Era, new tech after chemistry), grants extra healing per turn for military units within city borders and for city itself, increase city healthness, required for build Genetical Mapping project.
Remedy Research Project: when is being built it grants extra food, gold and science prodution, when complete it grants great people points distributed between engineers, merchants and scientists randomly.
Genetical Mapping Project: when is complete it grants eureka for 1 random modern era and 1 random atomic era and 1 random information era technologies (total 3 eureka boosts).
-----------
Epidemy disaster may vary upon its strength and its spread, spread is done through trade routes, meaning that epidemy is likely to cause mayhem with civs who has lots of trade routes, epidemy is also meant to slowdown who are affected, as it damages military units and kill citizens.

City Healthness is a core factor for slowdown and even end Epidemy disaster. It not only comes from Healthcare district buildings, but also from district by itself and from Aqueduct district and from Granary and Sewers buildings.

Forgot to mention, epidemy may give bonuses for your military units whenever they fight enemies who didn't took hit from same epidemy. Think about what smallpox did IRL to native american when europeans arrived into america.

[GunsGermsandSteel]

With Gran Colombia becoming a civ, I thought why not have the Republic of Texas (1836-46) be represented as a unique civ?

Texas
Leader – Sam Houston

Sam Houston Ability – Remember the Alamo! Whenever one of your units is destroyed in your territory all other units gain +5 combat strength and +1 movement for 5 turns (standard speed).

Texas Ability – Wide Open Spaces. Start with additional land when founding a new city. Cities must be placed 4 tiles away as opposed to the normal 3. Citizens can work tiles out to 4 instead of the usual 3.

Unique Unit – Texas Ranger. Replaces Cavalry. Costs more. 5 movement. +1 movement if starting in open terrain. +1 sight range on hills. Has ranged attack of 1. Still has strong melee for defense. (similar to Immortal).

Unique Improvement – Ranch. Replaces pasture. +1 production, 1 housing. Will slowly acquire new tiles (in addition to tiles acquired by the city) unimproved plains/grassland/floodplains tiles without features adjacent to ranch will slowly be integrated into the ranch, which can all be worked by 1 citizen. +1 culture per tile in ranch.

 

[Azizking]

here is my civ idea hope you like it
United Arab emirates
leader-Sheikh Zayed

burj: city center building which gives +5% more tourism and + 3 gold in that city unlocks with civil engineering

Trucial scouts: unlock with nationalism replaces ranger but more cheaper and stronger and +5 amenities and 3+ loyalty in a city it is garrisoned in

 

[Alexander's Hetaroi]

I put this in the possible new civilizations thread but I also wanted to put this design here. I find it very interesting and a unique take on a popular fan requested Civ.

Gains an additional culture for every adjacent farm and tourism at flight. Will not get damaged when flooded (GS) and cannot be built adjacent to another Water Puppet Theater.

For the sake of your people, I shall bring them into my fold… By force!



Defeated: You may have subdued me, but Yahweh shall avenge His people. This I swear.

I put this in the possible new civilizations thread but I also wanted to put this design here. I find it very interesting and a unique take on a popular fan requested Civ.

Vietnam (Vietnamese Empire)

Leader: Trung Trac
Agenda: Huyen- Likes to fill her city with improvements and fewer districts. Dislikes Civs who build many districts in their cities.

Leader Ability: Linh Nam- Gain the unique unit Trung Nhi at the beginning of the game when Trung Trac is the leader. Gain an extra 15% of current culture and faith yields in any recaptured city or city that you occupy from another civ.

Civ UA: Kinh: Fishing Boats provide additional food, +1 housing and +1 culture. All improvements provide +1 production when adjacent to a river.

LUU: Trung Nhi- Unique Great General when Trung Trac is the leader. Grants +5 combat strength and +2 movement to all units within 2 tiles of every era. May spend charges in an Encampment to speed up production of units in that city.

UU: Mong Dong (Replaces caravel at Naval tradition?) Stronger when fighting in coastal water.

UI: Water Puppet Theater at Drama and Poetry- Can only be built on floodplains or flooded tiles (GS). Grants culture. Gains an additional culture for every adjacent farm and tourism at flight. Will not get damaged when flooded (GS) and cannot be built adjacent to another Water Puppet Theater.

Oh wow. That is a beautiful civ design. The improvement bias is genius.

I've set my expectations probably too high. I hope the real design doesn't disappoint.

Sadly I don't think it's happening unless the water theatre can also be built on non-GS terrain, since the civ isn't listed as requiring GS.
