East Asia mod?

[Yoda Power]

Ok I'm back from Istanbul.

Politesse could work I think.

I'm using the wheel symbol as an icon for the eight different parts, so I'd rather have something else, but I must admit I don't know what it should be.

I'll try to come up with a couple of suggestions by the weekend.

 

[Yoda Power]

I could use some suggestions for barbarians . I need names for barbarians that were close to the different culture groups. Now I only have one for each group, so there are many repititions. The different groups are:

Japan/Korea/Manchus.
China
Southeastasia
India
Nomads

Further thoughts on Eightfold Path "building": how about a "footprint of Buddha"?

I'm working on an Indian tribes list. How many do you want?

 

[Yoda Power]

That might work.

I need 14 for each group.

 

[Yoda Power]

Just wanted to know how the work is going.

I'm playing the mod quite a lot to test it and balance it. I still haven't done any civilopedia and the leaderheads has not been sorted yet, but otherwise the mod is pretty playable at this point. In the meantime I'm starting to look more into flavour abilities for the different civs, aswell as splitting Buddhism into a Therevada and Mahayana branch. That way the first can have Stupas and the latter Pagodas. It also makes sense since Mahayana Buddhism should probably enter the game a bit later.

I'm just coming out of a couple of days of incapacitation due to fever & congestion. I'm searching through my hand written notes to put together a mostly Indian barbarian tribes list for you.

Malgal
Tabgach
Khitan
Sushen
Nanai
Nivkh

Korean Peninsula
Buyeo
Byeonhan
Jinhan

Gaya
Tamna (on Jeju Island)

Japanese and Ryukyu Islands
Ainu
Uchinanchu

Oh I actually ment "Just wanted to let you know how the work is going", that what happens when you write posts 3 am.

But thanks anyway. The list looks great Ogedei, I'll add them in asap.

 

[Blue Monkey]

Better than I could do: the list of Indigenous Peoples of Asia from Wikipedia, with links to more thorough sublists.

 

[Yoda Power]

Good find.

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

what city graphics will this mod be using?

 

[Yoda Power]

A mix of stuff available here. I think I use cities from Vawrnos, Aion, RedAlert and Ogedei at this point, + I made a few changes in some of the graphics. But changes are almost bound to be made.

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

I've always hoped my Khmer cities found a home somewhere.

 

[Yoda Power]

5 culture group limit...

 

[RedwallFortress]

Maybe you could add the Sultanate of Brunei as a Civ.
That area of the map is pretty much empty as of yet.

 

[Yoda Power]

It's not a bad idea actually, but I don't want anymore civs on the map for two reasons.

1) Speed, more civs will slow the game down, 21 civs still give a pretty fast game, compared to a 31 civ game.

2) Space, Borneo needs to be unsettled in the map version, since Sri Vijaya and Majapahits have little room on their native islands, so they need a place to expand into.

I might however add them to the final version with 31 civs, but that is a future project at this point.

 

[Ogedei_the_Mad]

What civs exactly are in your current build? Will you be updating the info posts anytime soon?

 

[Yoda Power]

The same as last one.

I'm sorry I have been so slow on updates lately, but it's because I'm just doing basic stuff like civiliopedia and graphics, so there's really not much to say.

I'm also playing a bit,and the mod already quite fun, but I won't post more screenies before I get the graphics sorted completly out.

edit: I'll put some info up on UU's later today though.

Last post on the page sucks. Look at page nine instead.
