Hi all. Just to preface, I find CIV VI with the expansions a fun game, and now the SDK is available it is more accessible to modders. My problem is, I don't own the game on Steam so I can't access the art assets. I have however found a copy of the SDK elsewhere which has enabled me to some limited exploring into ModBuddy and following some tutorials here. I am also familiar with unit creation and enjoy the hobby. Creating mods I get held up whenever the tutorial calls for the Asset Editor, which I can not use because I don't have the assets/pantry. So it is slow going...
So ideally I would like to chat with other modders who are familiar with adding units to the game, and people who know what variation is needed so I can create units that are missing. I will probably buy the game on Steam when there is a sale, then I can make complete mods, or at least provide better assets to the community here to code into their own mods. Otherwise I can make units to the best of my ability, upload and hopefully others can test it in game and add to diversity mods.
I can see from the work of Deliverator converting units from IV and V, and many others (Gedemon, Sailorcat etc) that the game has a lot of potential for modders to make a complete and polished, immersive game with every play being an exciting experience exploring the different diversity for each civ.
So for now I will just make units with the assets available here, and if there are needed diversity or people have ideas for units, let me know here and we can work to fill the gaps. Maybe I can make do without the Asset Editor and get some mods working for people to use.
