Keniisu's Splits and Expansions!
Here I'll be splitting civilizations and expanding upon them as well
​

India Split Part 1

Maurya Empire (Ashoka)

UA: Prosopographia Exitosus (Destructive Warfare) -

UI: House of Worship -
Unlocked at Theology. Whenever a citizen is born this tile gains an additional yield of +1 Faith when worked. (Max: 6 Faith)

Mughal Empire (Akbar)
UA: Imparatorluk birleştirici (Unifying the Empire) -
Whenever a Golden Age is dawned upon the civilization all units made before the Golden Age gain the "Unification" promotion granting them +33% defense and +33% attack when there are two friendly units adjacent to them.

UU: Pata Wielder (Replaces Swordsman) -

UI: Mansabdar (Replaces Great General) -
Can create a "Cannon Foundry"on top of Iron, Silver or Stone resources which grants +2 Gold , +2 Production and +2 Science when worked. Units adjacent to the Mansabdar are given +11% defense from city attacks

Old Version

Spoiler :

Few things:

1. The names of the civilization, or the leader, shouldn't be a part of the unique component's name.
2. The UA should represent a general idea, or a feature of the civilization it belongs to. However, it can't simply be the said idea\ feature. Desire for conquest is something shared by many civilizations across the history, from the Early Rome to Modern era dictators such as Mussolini and Hitler. You can't have it as the UA's name, since its too generic. Same goes for the commander: commanders were present in every (or nearly every) civilization. They aren't unique to the Mayura. That also applies to the house of Worship, which is, again, not unique at all. Its a feature of any religion, and India is full of religions(!). And the tech its unlocked in is a bit too late for a Mayura civ...
3. When picking unique components you have to take their prime function and the place they belong to into account. The court of Akbar being unlocked at writing isn't really appropriate, considering that Akbar didn't live in that period. Even if we ignore that, there's the fact that... I assume that Akbar didn't have a court in every city, right?
4. About the Musketeer, I don't think it really fits Akbar. If anything, a Musketeer UU should replace musketman, and even then it doesn't really belong to the Indian Subcontinent. It is also already used in game as the French UU....

So... I suppose that's it. I hope you will take my feedback into account and revise your designs...

Took your advice and I await to hear what you have to think about the new, more revised designs

India Split Part 2

[Natan35]

Nice design! Though if you get science from faith, you shouldn't get both from the same source, as it can lead to overpowered stacking...

Fixed. Only receive Science from specialists now.

 

[Keniisu]

Anyone have ideas for how to finish or improve upon this design?

Ethiopia Expansion

Ethiopia (Tewodros II)

UA: The Standing Army -
All non-mounted military units gain +1 more movement than normal and have +22% Defense and +11% Strength if they moved before attacking an enemy unit. During the time of a Golden Age this is increased to +33% Defense and +22% Strength

UU: Renown Craftsman (Replaces Great Engineer) -
Can be expended to rush production twice but at a smaller rate and cannot build any unique tile improvements.

UB/UI: ??? -

 

[Natan35]

What does any of that has to do with Tewodros? We can't have a design for every single ruler of every civ... And while he might've done something remarkable, he didnt contribute quite enough to be designable IMO.

 

[Keniisu]

Scandinavia Expanison - Norway (REVISED)

Kingdom of Norway (Harald III)

While I don't like single effect UAs, its quite nice and I think its a generally nice design, despite lacking synergy.

And why are you posting your designs here?
This is Keniisu's thread, dedicated to his designs and to feedback relating to them. You can't just post that out of the blue...

You make a good point, but I do assume from his perspective it was a thread for him to request a Civ to be made though the fact still stands.

America (Theodore Roosevelt)
UA: Glory of The New World
Receive a Culture boost when discovering Natural Wonders and during the time of a Golden Age Tourism output is increased by +33%.

UI: National Park -
Can only be built next to Natural Wonders. Yields +3 Tourism , +3 Culture and +2 Gold when worked. During Golden Ages the Gold output is increased to +4 Gold .

UU: Great Economist (Replaces Great Merchant) -
When expended gain a boost in Tourism with every met civilization. Can build a Bank which yields +3 Gold and +2 Production when worked.

 

[Natan35]

Kinda weird design... A great merchant unit for Roosevelt? Plus, that tile improvement is useless. Simply a worse custom house, with a small production boost which is hardly of any use... I mean, its supposed to be late game civ. The national park is OP early on. BTW, you'll get tourism from culture with tourism buildings, so the +3 tourism on top of the culture boost isn't really necessary....

Alright, fair critique. I tweaked the design a bit as I see where it falls short.

 

[Keniisu]

How about this?

America (Theodore Roosevelt)
UA: Glory of The Modern World
Receive a Culture boost when discovering Natural Wonders and during the time of a Golden Age Tourism output is increased by +33%. and Great Merchants/Engineers are earned 20% faster.

UI: National Park -
Can only be built next to Natural Wonders. Yields +2 Great Merchant points and +2 Culture when worked by a city.

UU: White Fleet (Replaces Destroyer) -
Has a much greater strength of 59 , but a lowered movement speed of 4 . Has a bonus percentage of defense increasing with your current tourism output.
