Awesome! Art looks great, civs look great, they're all unique and fun and probably balanced... I really need to get Rise and Fall so that I can try out all these mods, haha.

Just finished uploading all the direct downloads. Find them here.

Just finished uploading all the direct downloads. Find them here.

Million thanks for the link ! Looking forward to try them ! Keep up the good work ! (PS: loved your Bulgaria mod in civ 5, maybe you will find the time to do a south eastern civ for civ 6 , Bulgaria, Serbia, Bosnia, etc. ) Again, thanks for the link ! All the best !

Unfortunetely i seem to have a problem . Although i have all other mods downloaded Disabled, i seem to have the following issues :
1. Only Kievan Rus mod active - if i start a new game, it doesn't load and brings me to the start screen ;
2. Only Finland OR Hungary mod active, Kievan disabled : leaders do not appear, but although Kievan Rus is disabled, another aztec logo & monty appears with something like " Name_OC_Yaroslav" appears like a double Monty name. Game does not start .

No other loads except Civ 6 & RaF extensions are active.

Any ideas on what could be the problem? All the best .

 

[AlinBUL1986]

Update: got the Hungary/Sweden/Finland mods to work. All great. Only the Kievan' Rus does not, leader appears in loading screen selection, but after i hit start game (with all mods disabled), it brings me back to the loading screen. PS: although you've posted on Steam a link for the Venetian civ on civfanatics, i couldn't find the civ on your direct download link posted, could you please upload it? (i'm also waiting for the Byzantine mod that you're working on ! ) Thank you in advance!

@Firebug I love what you did with Venice. Very nice UI and UU!

But it does seem a little OP to me. Were you thinking of some sort of settler nerf like for the Civ V version? I think it'll be cool to have some sort of (peaceful) city state acquisition for Venice.

 

[dukisha]

When is Serbia coming?
Will you input true starting locations for ynamp?

 

[ghjkl]

Upload your Venice mod on Google Drive, please. I would love to try that mod, but I can`t download it from Steam

Thanks for making these mods. I particularly enjoyed Venice, which feels nebulously over-powered. The aquaduct replacement gives some nice flexibility for placing the Angkor Wat, too.

 

[alinBUL]

Could you please update the direct download links for the Malta and Sicily civs too? Can't wait to try them out. All the best !

 

[Firebug]

I'll start uploading them to my google drive now. Venice, Malta, and Sicily. Keep an eye on it.

Also if the leaks are to be believed, RIP Christina and Hungary. But atleast i can make Karl an alt leader for Sweden.

Hey there ! Thanks for the great news, i look forward to the link ! I saw some leaks, wich had only a leader for a Polynesian/Maori looking civ, didn't really knoq about Sweden and Hungary . I really enjoy your Matthias/Hungary mod, especially due to the fact that the castle you chose as leader backroung is in my home city (wich is in Romania, but had a dual history). Anyway, thank you again in advance for the future link, and i really really hope you didn't gave up on the Serbia mod work :/ All the best !

All the artwork was gifted to another modder who had been planning Serbia before me. He should hopefully do it justice, but he's less active. If after an extended period of time he has made no progress, i'll consider asking him to let me return to making it. But i want to respect that he likely has less time free then i do.

Ah, i've seen your Karadjordje artwork on reddit (loved it ! also the serbian logo/colour scheme you've chosen!), and considering your latest releases (please do upload them through a direct download link as you've said on civfanatics ) - i do hope that you'll take into consideration of working/finishing the mod . I really appreciate all the eastern european mods you've released so far, but Serbia would be one of the most expected south european mods for most of us (Bulgaria next, maybe? ). Anyway, all the best, thank you for all your work!

After much thought, i've created a Patreon for those who wish to support my mods. It's always been a hobby but it's one that drains a lot of free time, as i'm sure many here know.

I'll be practicing more with 3D modelling and texturing in the near future, perhaps in the new year or sooner. With my full time job, i find it tricky to find the time for it. It's something i've always known how to do for years, just never got good at, and never really architecture. Stay tuned.

Make someday a Byzantium mod, please
