Good luck, would be nice to play this one again.

I've already start to work on this. If I'm able to update it, I'll post a new thread in the main forum..

The .bix file is edited in a .biq file. I'm just using the original Civilopedia.txt and pediaicons.txt files and modifying it with stuff from txt files from conquest. So far everything seems to work.. This mod needs a serious lifting to be estetically competitive with other fantasy mods! I'm starting with the three cultural groups, they need some personnality in the civpedia!! Then I'll attack the Civilisations (civpedia) and -of course- the leaderheads!!

In the spoiler, you have a brief description of the three main cultural groups. You will see that I gave them some common flavors: northen (i.e. celtic or germanic like), southern (latin like) and eastern (mid-eastern like). I will do the same for the leaderheads and units I guess.
English is not my native language, so if someone see some errors, please let me know!!

Spoiler :

Kronan

In the North of the Great World lies the vast and marvelous steps of Kronan. The thousand rivers running through the southern plains and forests of Kronan have given birth to a proud and strong race of warriors. Numerous Nations and Kingdoms have rised and faded over the green landscapes, fed by the blood of valiant soldiers.

And the fiery of men and women of Kronan only finds its counterpart in the fury of the northen winter...


Gordian

South of Kronian, in the Holly lands of Gordian, sun ripen the grapes and make blossom songs of toubadours, celebrating courteous love. Live is pleasant in Gordian for the one who appreciates good wines and beautiful women, beside whom the magnificence and elegance of the Gordian temples and palaces only look like vulgar cowsheds! But beware not to confuse the acceleration of your heartbeat at the sight of the golden skin of a Gordian lady with the march of Gordian troops! Because the wine turns easily to blood for the one who stands against the discipline and strenght of the Gordian Empires...


Zan-dur

In the East, on the other side of the sea, are spreaded the dry and rich lands of Zan-dur. Here, the visitor from Gordian or Kronan is bewitched by the splendor of the colorful silk and the brilliance of gold. The air is filled with spice and burning sand, and the strongest man will be lost in the dark gaze of the mysterious Zan-dur women. Here, spirituality is closely tie with poetry, and prayers are melting with the melody of harp and oud.

But also remember, the sun love to shine on Zan-dur blades!

I really like this mod too. It would be very nice to upgrade it with some of the newer units/graphics and tweak the tech tree a bit.

I like it especially because it does not get too sluggish in the late part of the game compared to some of the other fantasy mods. I really hate it when computer turns take 30 minutes.

Looks good so far. Keep it up beboy. I like the culture idea a lot. I'm glad you plan to work on those leaderheads. I always hated them.

 

[Cuatemoc]

Very good!!!

 

[tjedge1]

Any updates on this? I had completely forgot about it till the

 

[beboy]

I have done half of the civpedias for Civilisations and have ideas for many more. Most of the plans for the modifications of the tech tree are currently in my head, bu they are clear and won't be too difficult to implement I guess.

It has been on hold for three weeks and I don't expect to work on it until the end of October. I will try to rush it a bit during November..

This game does need a Custom Soundtrack.

 

[WerBackIII]

Agreed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[beboy]

Just a quick word to say I haven't abandon the project of updating this mod. Just put it on hold while working on an industrial/SF mod. I won't have time to do any Civ modding or playing for the next three months (intense renovations + very time consuming job = Kaboummm!!!). Hopefully, I will restart in March to work on this.

 

[Rob (R8XFT)]

Sounds great. Thanks for the bump too - I wasn't aware of this mod !
