Heart of Destiny

Do you know anything about the eras represented in the second era? If you could, or want to, could you redo the second era to include a few more age of discovery(from Astronomy to Navigation), techs(Like Colonialism) and some Napolianic era techs.
 
hey sword, ive been busy still, but what i have been doing is making a really rough map to test some things on. ive tried out some aspects ive talked about, esp the conquest of mars, the space stations, and the requirement of "Earth" as a resource for all ancient-modern era buildings, wonders, and units, whereas for the last era they reguire other resources. im currently working out the "sea" or space movement rates and hopefull will be done working this stuff out soon
 
I am glad Coltrane. Your ideas are more than I could have hoped for for this mod. We should talk about expanding the future era to reflect the changes maybe.

Please tell me in depth what you have done so far and what you would like to do, I am VERY curious.... :eek:

I'm not really familiar with them. In the past I've been off on my history, so I wouldn't be a valid resource. Sorry. :( :blush:
But I can do the tech arrows for whatever is added to the era. That, I can handle. ;)
 
You want to? I would really appreciate it.

Heres some things I was pondering:

Colonialism tech: Has "Colonist" unit, which upgrades from settlers, costs 1 population instead of 2, built by European civs(Not required for advance)

Piracy Tech: New advanced needed to build Privateers, also new unit "Buccaneer" which is the first buildable Marine unit, built by all Civs. Arrr mateys, Arrr!

Spain needs more special stuff: Currently they have only one special unit only they can build(The Carrack doesn't count lol).
 
spain is easy, use the Royal Tercio, the Conquistador, and you could use "Spanish Galleon" which would have additional firepower, but would be slower. i think those techs are good, but why stop there? before colonialism put in "Age of Discovery" then "Native Contact" "Native Trading" and then "colonialism" (this may be a bit much, but we can always remove some techs, i always just felt this era was vastly underrepresented) also, make settlers cost +1 pop until then and make them more expensive until then, not as much as Rhye did, but a bit more... i dont like having everyone have a massive empire before the middle ages.
 
I agree with you there. Coltrane. Basically I'd have a number of Colonial era techs and stuff to go with it. This would come smack in the middle between the Napolianic techs(flintlocks, millitary tradition, Magnitism, Theory of Gravity etc). There are already a few techs of this era, but the new ones would boost that era more. Also the Napolianic needs a few new techs. Greywolfe, any ideas you have regarding early 19th century innovations I would appreciate... ;)
 
well probally one of the greatest events of the early 19th century was the congress of Vienna. there was lewis and clarks explorations, the start of the pony express, steam boats. toward the middle of it came gatling guns, repeating rifles. most major wars of that century happened in the later half. the begining of the century was also the tail end of the spanish main, with spain, england and the dutch being the major sea powers at the time. it was also know as The age of Western Imperialism.
 
I'll start the arrows for the 3rd era then. ;) Whenever you finish reworking the 2nd, just put up a patch with the graphix and text files with the biq and I'll start on the 2nd era again. :) So far the ideas sound great, expecially that colony unit that is only available to european civs. Makes sense.
 
I want all the culture groups to play different, Europe has the Colonist and the most mercanary units, and Mesoamerican civs have the sacrifice power. I have yet to come up with powers for Native American, Asian, African and Middle Eastern civs.
 
Natives = ATAR (for foot units) and ignore movement for forest
Asia= units (until modern times) have units with HP*1.5 (EX: reg. spearman has 4 hp, chinese spearman would have 4*1.5=6 HP)
Africa = ignore movent cost for jungle and their foot units have ATAR
ME = ignore desert move cost and enslave to Prophet for most units, (stats of 1(2)/1/1, ATAR, Enslaves to worker, but has a pop of 1 so it can be added to a city's pop)

Just some ideas...
 
well i couldnt think of much for the 19th century besides all the small wars that popped up so i went a did a little research. didnt really find much but here is what i did find out. science leaped foward with the start of anthropology, archeology and cell biology along with the theory of evelution, astronomy geology, electricty was discovered, the telephone, reserch labs came into exsistance attached to universities. explorations reached both the north and south poles. some of the greatest scientific discoverys came at the end of the century. here is a list of all the inventions in the first half of the century hope this will be of some help
