Is this mod going to be full of additions or replacements? You can't have an empire mod without the English!

Additions

 

[cckerberos]

Japanese: Mutsuhito

May I suggest you change this to Meiji? It seems a more natural choice to me. For a Japanese imperial themed wonder I would suggest Yasukuni Shrine (give some kind of military bonus or reduce war unhappiness). The Meiji Restoration (give some kinda of bonus towards production) would also be a good choice.

Thanks for the input. I'll be posting the traits soon.

Seems like a good idea but I think you really should add the French who could be lead by Louis XIV and the Austrians lead by Maximilian I.

Some more wonders would be good too.

 

[EmperorNapoleon]

The french will be in the mod

I really debated having Austria in but technically its not really a civilization

 

[Dr. Broom]

It isn't? How is that?

 

[EmperorNapoleon]

I consider Austria more of a country than a civilization, because there was no ancient austria. Civs like america are in because right now they are world powers.

 

[Uty]

The Sydney Opera House as a World Wonder is a very good idea. And it makes sense too because you can't read about Australia without seeing a picture of it.

 

[EmperorNapoleon]

Yes, I thought it would tie in with great people (artists and engineers in particular).

Unique Units are up! These are not the only new units -

I will either

1) Give each civ another unique unit
or
2) Give specific leaders unique units (like a Dromon for Constantine)

I am also looking into third leaders for some nations - If you have ideas for these, unique units, or changes to what I have, by all means share them!

 

[Kenric af Grashen]

third leaders for some civs how about Henry V for the English

 

[EmperorNapoleon]

Yeah I think they need a King

Want to suggest any traits for him?

 

[Kenric af Grashen]

well i don't have civ 4 yet i think its released in the uk tomorrow (sucks to be us!) but i'd go with militaristic and something else, as i don't have the game so i don't know what the availible traits are

 

[EmperorNapoleon]

look at the traits in my first post

 

[Kenric af Grashen]

hmm i think the best would be aggresive, expansive; Hereditary Rule

although these traits may or may not be already taken
