Kaiju Mod?

[AbuHab]

Does anybody know if there's a Civ IV mod that adds giant rampaging monsters similar to Godzilla, King Kong, Rodan, Mothra, etc.?

 

[PPQ_Purple]

Not that I know off. But FFH has dragons. Does that count?

FFH?

EDIT: Oh, Fall From Heaven? That's cool. Are there any mods that give a more generic Civ4 experience but that also include giant rampaging monsters?

Not that I know of.

This is functionally the same as the barbarian uprising events. I just modified some a bit of "CvRandomEventInterface.py" that I already had done up, which spawns either "Godzilla" in the ocean in the modern era, or a "Dragon" on land in the medieval era:

This in "CvRandomEventInterface.py" plus much easier XML modding and adding unit graphics would basically get you what you want.
