Sneek a peeks for the next version:

Spoiler :

The King and Colony flags, the Kings got Regulars, the Colonies have the Veteran Soliders


Some Help for you to see where the different colonies are, this shows their location.


The flag of the Danish King, have you noticed the small, yellow lion holding an axe at the upper right part? That's the lion from the Norwegian Coat of Arms. This is the flag i am most happy with.

 

[Jimbrock]

Will your upcoming mod have any other features except for these 3 new civs?

[veBear]

later, yes.
Here are a list of new changes that will be included in newer versions:
- Special units for eatch colonist civilization (conquistador for spain, carrack for portugal etc.)
- New flag graphics
- Loads of new military units
- Tetch tree made by Melinko... (only maybe)

That is what is planned at the time. We will se how the rest goes.

Extreamly Updated this time!!

 

[Zuul]

Planning to add the Triangle Trade mod by Dom Pedro II

I think that will be hard as he have not released the code.

 

[veBear]

I know, but i guess i can add my civs into his MOD only by copying some XML from my work to his, as i then do not need to disturb his work. Will ask him for permission first thought

Happy new year

Just wondering, could someone translate these sentences into kind of russian with Latin letters:
- Russian Colonies
- New Russia

Hope someone can help me working this out (i don't know a word russian)

 

[veBear]

Never Mind, NeverMind did it for me, so now also russia will have a more accurate name.

Oh, and when is the next release ?

The next realease will be as soon as charle88 has finished his new LH's and i've added them to the new civs, so i cant say for sure. But if you want i could make some easy add on, prewiue civilizations you can download (those won't have any animated LH's or pedia-text)
