[MOD] Modular United Mods

Well just with the small time frame I mean the time needs to be adjusted per civ that pops up I think if you want to get closer to reality I mean. But the game would not be the same then.

When were all looking at the US for example which most of the idea of the game was based on it looks like. We are talking a real window time from 1600 till independence. Which that is at most 200 years I mean.

So anyway I don't really know how it should be handled. Spanish and Portuguese were much earlier of course.

I mean if giving even more detail muskets were not readily available in 1492.

But still, it would be nice to keep the civs roughly similar to the colony powers present during the time of the game. I would mind seeing Russia so much, but Germany and Italy are far beyond the scope of the game. And the Japanese, for instance, were never even close to be interested in colonising America.

Pokker, der røk min hemmelige identitet!

Ja, jeg er nok norsk...

First of all - this mod looks and sounds extremely interesting - and first thing to to when I get home, is to download it - and try playing that game.

Second of all, what are the advantages/disadvantages for the new nations in the new game? And which names are chosen for the Danish cities (I'm Danish, so I'm very interested in this particular)

I'm looking for much forward to playing this mod! :scan:

Well, I've just played it a little, but I'm not very happy with the names of the colonies. The first one is Godthåb, which might be OK, even though I'd choose Taphus or Charlotte Amalie, but the next ones are "New (whatever)"-names, which do not fit well with the Danish colony names in RL.

I'd like to see names like Fort Frederik, Christiansted and Egedesminde, among others.

Yes indeed, the second name seems to something like "New Hergenutt" or something - which could be similar to "New Herning" but again - the names should be adequate. Some of the names from St. John, St. Croix or St. Thomas would be suitable. Even some of the names from the ealy colonies in Africa and Indian Ocean could be considered as well... I know there are a few "old" Danish settlements in the mid-west of the US which could be concidered.

I'd be happy to assist the "modder" with this!

Anyway - good job with the mod - it is (besides the city names) pretty damn cool!

Me too. I have a long list of Danish settlements in the Americas right before me, actually...

Nice... would you mind PM it to me? I'm very interested in this!

Liambane · Nov 14, 2008

VeBear You could make two versions of this mod, the United MOD Real and the United MOD unreal... It could be an idea to make the game run from 1400 to 1825/1850/1875. Just add some more units and technologies and you're done.

Dude that's A LOT of work... :eek:

But the idea is good...

Joeaverage First of all - this mod looks and sounds extremely interesting... Well, I've just played it a little, but I'm not very happy with the names of the colonies.

Thx for feedback to all of you. Any help for improve my mod is appriciated. When You guys are ready with the Danish City List, please post it here.

(BTW you can also edit civilizationinfos.xml in my mod and replace the names inside that file... :lol:

)

joeaverage · Nov 18, 2008

Lubricus and I have just worked out a list of authentic city/colony/settlement/fort names for the use in this mod - and other mods similar to this using Danmarks as a nationality in the Civ4-family.

So far we have 30 cities listed in a chronological order. We have not used any viking city names, as it would be ridiculous using those names in a game that starts out in 1492. However, as Denmark (to my knowledge) became a colony power in 1620 - we have sofar only used names starting here.

We could use authentic names Hedeby, Slesvig etc. - but that would be more suitable in Civ4 Civilization-family and not in Colonization, as these names are from the viking era and around 400 years before the actual colonization of the americas.

I just need the the "approval" from Lubricus before we publish the list.

joeaverage · Nov 19, 2008

OK here's the list of Danish settlements/colonies that Lubricus and I have created. It's pretty close to complete - but there might be a few cities or forts that are left out here.

Authentic Danish Colonial Settlements

Spoiler :

For the name cities in Greenland, we have only added names that previously had a Danish name for the city. All cities in Greenland has been renamed with the native language now.

I would prefer that Charlotte Amalie should be the name of the first settlement in the game because of the fact, that it's more widely known world-wide - and even in Denmark would question Trankebar, as it's actually not very known here. But if you stick the the chronological order, it would be cool with many people! ;-)

In lack of other names, I decided to add these names - which are authentic, but without status as a colony.

Later Danish settlements/activities without colonial status

Spoiler :

I know there was some Danish settlements in Argentina around 7 generations ago. I saw it in Danish tv. The still speak Danish and talk it (besides Spanish) - but I can't remember where it was in Argentina.

I thought about the name Christiania (now Olso in Norway) as it was rebuild upon the ruins of the old city of Olso in 1624. However, original name for the city-ruins was Olso, so I thought it probably would not be adequate.

Liambane · Nov 19, 2008

OK here's the list of Danish settlements/colonies

OK! Thx. I hope I will upload a new version in few days with this city names for Denmark. I'm also planning to replace some leaderheads with animated ones.

Hope I will find the spare time fo fix this things since now i returned to be very busy in my life and can't find time for mod colonization as time ago...

joeaverage · Nov 19, 2008

let me know if I can help with anything...

The Rusty Gamer · Nov 19, 2008

Limanbane, how hard would it be for you to include this Mod: Rebalanced REF, but add it is an option in Custom Games, a check box which reads something like "Use linear REF"?

That mod can be easily merged to mine, but i dunno how to make the option in custom games with check box... I'm "skilled" in XML but don't know NOTHING about Phyton... :mischief:

Hengoroth · Nov 21, 2008

Dear Liambane! All hail u for doing this good work and collecting other good mods that becomes even greater all collected togherer.Could u though PLEASE do anything about the starting locations of the nations,please? Getting tired of seeing to nations settling side by side,while i dominate other parts,especially true if u use the "a new world map" where u can bet without loss that 2 european colonies will settle in south east America and u can easily dominate nothern america.... keep up the good work

Liambane · Nov 22, 2008

I'm working on version 1.2

Here's what I've changed till now:

- Added REF patch mod 1.2 by uppi
- Added Danish city list by joeaverage and lubricus

- Added new Danish king leaderhead... I find a LH that fix perfectly with him!
- Added new Swedish king leaderhead.

I'm planning to add a CUSTOM MAP to play with this mod...

What else should I change? Any feedback or ideas are welcome...

Add some more natives with the use of Civ4 leaderheads, im sure you could find some more alternate native civs
Also it had been cool if you could make a new variant of the game, where you will start colonizing a map of Europe instead of America, or just make a map of Australia and the other isles of Oceania

And one more thing, can you give me the link to the swedish and danish kings, i want to know how they look

Here's a link to one of the better pictures of Chritian IV of Denmark.

joeaverage · Dec 2, 2008

Sorry, I can't help you there - I'm still new at this mod-thing!

balanca · Dec 19, 2008

Hi!
I really like playing with CivBalance mod, and i would like to know, is there a chance anyone could merge these two mods?
Or at least tell me, how could I add these new nations+flags into colonization, so I wouldnt have to Load a mod for this and still play with CivBalance?

Oh and: how come there has to be 300 of goods to only take one room of cargo? In col there is 100? And prices have been changed too...
