Ball Lightning · Jan 12, 2008

DK has left again, but i expect him to come back for the team, otherwise its going to take longer.

dutchking · Jan 12, 2008

I ain't coming back. Not until you ban "he who must not be named".

Ball Lightning · Jan 12, 2008

Kao'chai · Jan 13, 2008

:eek: :eek: [FONT=Trebuchet MS][SIZE=4][B]News alert[/B][/SIZE][/FONT]:eek: :eek: 


We are in need of modders to get though all the XML work which needs to be done, if you are interested please post in this thread and join up so we can get this out sooner.[/CENTER]


 
[FONT=Trebuchet MS][SIZE=3][B]Overview:[/B][/SIZE][/FONT]
 
[FONT=Trebuchet MS]World of Legends is an unofficial expansion mod to Civilization 4. Although occasionally we will include additions that probably would not make it in a true expansion (such as the addition of Modern civs like Brazil), we are trying to keep close to an expansion format; the mod will feature new civs, units, buildings, wonders, leaders, core features, and even scenarios. There will also be other additions for game balance, aesthetics, and fun.[/FONT]
 
 
[FONT=Trebuchet MS][SIZE=3][B]Purpose:[/B][/SIZE][/FONT]
 
[FONT=Trebuchet MS]So why are we wasting our time, coding, to make this mod? Well, we have two main reasons:[/FONT][LIST]
[*][FONT=Trebuchet MS]Entertainment: We are here to make something lighter than the hardcore mods like Total Realism or Rhyes and Fall of Civilization, but still make something more exciting then New Pholish Civilization Mod. :)[/FONT]
[*][FONT=Trebuchet MS]Parody: Were trying to mimic an expansion here, so all features of a real expansion, good AND bad, will be introduced, to give all a feel of a new expansion.[/FONT][/LIST][FONT=Trebuchet MS][B][SIZE=3]Features (ALL SUBJECT TO CHANGE):[/SIZE][/B] [/FONT]
 
 
[FONT=Trebuchet MS][B]Heroes:[/B][/FONT]
[FONT=Trebuchet MS]The main feature of the game will be the addition of hero units, similar to that of Fall from Heaven. Each civilization can build three unique heroes; they will be super-powerful military units whose capabilities could mean the difference between victory and defeat. However, heroes must also be used with caution, as once they are For each civilization, there are two military heroes, and one national hero. The national hero, although much weaker than the military heroes (but still powerful in his own right), can construct the civilizations unique national wonder, which can provide the civilization remarkable benefits. Military heroes range from Robin Hood to Zheng He to Cteshwayo. National heroes range from Imhotep to Merlin to Henry the Navigator. National wonders include those such as The Art of War for the Chinese and the Chartes Cathedral for the French.[/FONT]
 
 
[FONT=Trebuchet MS][B]Mercenaries:[/B][/FONT]
[FONT=Trebuchet MS]Mercenaries are now available for hire! Quickly created units, mercenaries can be useful at times  but also costly. Many mods already feature mercenaries, but in World of Legends, there are different types of mercenaries to hire. [/FONT]
 
 
[B][FONT=Trebuchet MS]Other Features:[/FONT][/B]


[FONT=Trebuchet MS]- Global Warming will be improved greatly for more realism, danger, and depth.

- Throne Room: Its the return of the throne room! :D Just like in earlier games, there it is - the pointless, aesethic part of the game, which you can view to see your splendor. This time, however, each civilization receives its own unique throne room - so you'll be seeing the American flag in the American throne room, or oriental dragons in the Chinese throne room, or Persian rugs in the Persian throne room![/FONT]
 
 
 
[FONT=Trebuchet MS][B]Leader Traits:[/B][/FONT]
 
[FONT=Trebuchet MS]Three new leader traits will be introduced to make room for more leaders.[/FONT]
 
[FONT=Trebuchet MS]Progressive: +15% science boost in cities, ½ cost of Recycling Center, Levee[/FONT]
 
[FONT=Trebuchet MS]Agrarian: +1 food on spaces generation 2 or more food, ½ cost of Grocer, Supermarket[/FONT]
 
[FONT=Trebuchet MS]Seafaring: Free Navigation I promotion for all sea units, caravels and galleons cost 1/2 original cost[/FONT]
 
[FONT=Trebuchet MS]In addition, the Protective trait will now grant only Drill I to archery and gun units, but it will also give +2 espionage points in each city.[/FONT]
 
[FONT=Trebuchet MS]Additionally, some of the leaders traits have been rearranged for balance and historical accuracy. For example, Shaka is now Aggressive and Organized, and Tamerlame has taken the Aggressive and Expansive traits.[/FONT]
 
 
[FONT=Trebuchet MS][B]16 Civilizations:[/B][/FONT]
 
[FONT=Trebuchet MS]Rampage through ranks of puny enemies with Vietnamese Battle Elephants, trade your way to victory with the Indonesians, or defeat the not-deserving-place-in-BtS HRE with Polish Winged Cavalry! 16 civilizations and their corresponding leaders are available in total.

[FONT=Trebuchet MS][B]20 New Leaders:[/B][/FONT]
 
[FONT=Trebuchet MS]20 new leaders will be available for older civs. Play against crafty and skillful Margaret I of the Vikings, the cultured Harun al-Rashid, the conquest-hungry Pachacuti, or the seductive Theodora! New leaders are:[/FONT]
 
[FONT=Trebuchet MS]-Meiji of the Japanese[/FONT]
[FONT=Trebuchet MS]-Philip II of the Spanish[/FONT]
[FONT=Trebuchet MS]-Taizong of the Chinese[/FONT]
[FONT=Trebuchet MS]-Akbar of the Indians[/FONT]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS]-Hiawatha of the Native Americans[/FONT]
[FONT=Trebuchet MS]-Harun al-Rashid of the Arabians[/FONT]
[FONT=Trebuchet MS]-Sejong of the Koreans[/FONT]
[FONT=Trebuchet MS]-Theodora of the Byzantines[/FONT]
[FONT=Trebuchet MS]-Nedbuchadnezzar of the Babylonians[/FONT]
[FONT=Trebuchet MS]-Vercingetorix of the Celts[/FONT]
[FONT=Trebuchet MS]-Menelik II of the Ethiopians[/FONT]
[FONT=Trebuchet MS]-Otto I of the HRE[/FONT]
[FONT=Trebuchet MS]-Siyah K'ak' of the Mayans[/FONT]
[FONT=Trebuchet MS]-Cleisthenes of the Greeks[/FONT]
[FONT=Trebuchet MS]-Henry VIII of the English[/FONT]
[FONT=Trebuchet MS]-Hulegu of the Mongols[/FONT]
 
 
[FONT=Trebuchet MS][B]Buildings and Wonders:[/B][/FONT]
 
[FONT=Trebuchet MS]Several new buildings will be added, such as the Herbalist, an early-game health booster. Wonders will also be added, such as The Sphnix and the CN Tower, as well as National Wonders, like the Grand Canal. Additionally, as mentioned above, each civilization will have a Unique National Wonder that can be built by their National Hero  Unique National Wonders such as the Potala Palace for the Tibetans, Big Ben for the English, and Abu Simbel for the Egyptians.[/FONT]
 
 
[FONT=Trebuchet MS][B]Units:[/B][/FONT]
 
[FONT=Trebuchet MS]A number of units will be added. Though not confirmed, units such as Javelineers and Guerillas could make an appearance. Also added in will be civilization unique units, such as Israelite Maccabees, Swahili Catavarmans, and Austrian Hussars, as well as the Hero units.[/FONT]
 
 
[FONT=Trebuchet MS][B]Resources:[/B][/FONT]
 
[FONT=Trebuchet MS]Some new resources will be introduced, such as Salt and Potatoes.[/FONT]
 
 
[FONT=Trebuchet MS][B]Technologies:[/B][/FONT]
 
[FONT=Trebuchet MS]Five new technologies will appear in the game representing most areas of history (although currently where exactly on the tech tree they are is still under discussion).
 
 
[FONT=Trebuchet MS][B]Civics:[/B][/FONT]
 
[FONT=Trebuchet MS]There will also be one new civic for each category, giving you some more choices in choosing how to manage your government. Likely civics to be put in includes those such as Constitutional Monarchy and State Atheism. We are considering also whether to put an "overall" category of civics, i.e., civics like "Democracy" or "Fuedalism", similar to the Civ3 governments.[/FONT]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS]Also, as an aesethic change, we are considering adding the "Dynamic Civ Names" mod, which changes a civilization's name every civic change; i.e., a Democracy in China would be called the "Republic of China", while a Kingdom in Greece would be called the "Kingdom of Greece".[/FONT]
 
 
[FONT=Trebuchet MS][B]Religions and Corporations:[/B][/FONT]
 
[FONT=Trebuchet MS]At this time, any new additions to these areas are inconclusive. However, I am thinking of adding a Fast Food Corporation (Supersize Food Chain), which causes massive bad health in cities. :) [/FONT]
 
 
[FONT=Trebuchet MS][B]Scenarios:[/B][/FONT]
 
[FONT=Trebuchet MS]Scenarios will be completed as the final main section of the mod. Somewhere around five to ten scenarios will be included. Possible scenarios include: [/FONT]
 
[FONT=Trebuchet MS]-American Civil War: Fight as the North to re-unite the United States, or as the South to claim your independence![/FONT]
[FONT=Trebuchet MS]-Arteran: Empire at War: An indirect sequel to Cybrxkhan's original mod, Arteran: The Three Empires, lead one of the powerful families vying for control in Aidis' darker future, and spread one of three ideologies to lead Aidis to brighter days.
-South American Independence: Become Simon Bolivar and fight for independence against the Spanish in an era where Imperialism, Nationalism, and Liberty fight!
-German Unification: Napoleon may be dead, but those pesky French are still around. Nevertheless, play as Prussia, Austria, or another German state, and change the course of history for Germania... and the entire world as well...
[/FONT]

Full Version: depends on how many people we can get in to mod.

black baron · Jan 13, 2008

most of this is on the page on the other site.
now when you say Austria do you mean Austria or Aurilia? i have seen people mix up the two.
could you give stats for the new leaders?

I'm not sure about Austria Cybrxkhan will have to tell you about that.

We aren't releasing any information about leader stats just yet.

And there are a few changes in that code which will make this mod more attractive

Ball Lightning · Jan 14, 2008

Dutchking is now not part of World of Legends.

This will delay things but we will go on!

dutchking · Jan 14, 2008

Bai guys, good luck, you'll need it. I can try to get someone else to take my spot if you don't want to (GIVE IN TO MY DEMANDS HAAHAHA) "negotiate" any longer.

(although I do not exactly want to)

We don't need you, but you are welcome back, and any help on getting more people to help with teh mod would be great.

Sad to see you go, over something which happened in OT on another forum which had nothing to do with WoL.

dutchking · Jan 14, 2008

w/e
Have fun.

Ball Lightning · Jan 14, 2008

We will.

Now that DK has gone any helpers will be doublely appreciated.

dutchking · Jan 14, 2008

Here's the deal, Tanya.
This mod is not going to fall to your psycho-imperialist persona. Our mod is more important than your goddamn website. You'd think I'd just be an ass and abandon cybrxkhan to do all the work himself? I had no intention of doing so. We'll find a solution, and Civ United is not included. I'd never laid an egg but I'm a better judge of an omelet than any chicken.

Ball Lightning · Jan 14, 2008

I care more about this mod then about my website. It is good to here that you haven't completly gone from the mod.
