Finland

[daviiadams]

Finland's up, with Jager and Sauna uniques, plus Sisu trait.

Still need to figure out the diplo background thing (as with all of mine) and to spruce up some of the artwork, but think it's working ok.

I've not had chance to properly run it as an opponent though, so could be a few question marks there possibly.

Also put New Zealand up a few weeks back

Aah, so you're the author of Kiwiland!

Hey, thanks for putting it up. May I offer some suggestions for the NZ mod?

Haha, indeed. Sure, suggest away

Actually, I've just spotted that the Polynesian Civ has a Maori Warrior, so any ideas for a new UU would be helpful

Where exactly did you upload this mod to? I have been wondering, as it does not show in the civ fanatics new civilizations mod section.

It should be listed on the mod browser

Like to post that I have enjoyed playing both against Finland and with Finland. Don't believe that the AI maximizes the unique ability of the rough terrain; however, it is still a difficult struggle if there are alot of hills in the area. By the time I get to the Jager most of my units are leveled up but it is nice to flesh out your army with the added benefit of the unit. Thank you for the effort on this Civ. Also enjoyed the introduction screen text. Now I know a few more cities in Finland.

You're welcome

Late game unique units can tend to appear less advantagious, espicially with units gaining several promotions by the time they are available, though I have seen Finland AI suddenly start sweeping other Civs aside late game. Noticably if they are ancient Civs whos unique unit has long since been obsolete.

I'll eventually get around to doing a Civ NiGHTS version too, which might make the unique attributes of the Jager more effective, but I've managed to get bogged down with other things at the moment

Thanks for doing this. I enjoyed playing with your mod.

I'm not sure if you intend to make more changes to it, but if you'd like a longer city list, I can post one. I'd also edit the introductory blurb a bit. For example,

<!--Civilopedia DOM Leader Text-->
<Row Tag="TXT_KEY_CIV5_DAWN_REPOFFINLAND_TEXT">
<Text>Welcome Gustaf Mannerheim, Marshal of Finland. Your country was once part of both Swedish and Russian empires, but opportunity freed it from its past and your people defended that freedom against impossible odds.[NEWLINE][NEWLINE]From the turmoil, Finland emerged as a new republic and, although it may have arrived later to the industrialised world, it has moved forward at great speed.[NEWLINE][NEWLINE]Marshal Mannerheim, can you build on your forefathers' aspirations and lead your people to greatness?</Text>
</Row>

C.G.E. used Gustaf as his first name. There are also a few grammar fixes; in the current version opportunity defended Finland's freedoms and Mannerheim is asked to build on the aspirations of some individual forefather of his.

Apologies for not replying sooner - I hadn't realised there was a post here to respond to

I do need to go back over some of the mods I've done, though I lost a lot of artwork and such when transferring between PC builds. The city list for both this one and NZ will more than likely get tweeked and I'll look to adjusting the DOM blurb as you have suggested
