Native America Mod

[Brian the stunt]

Well, I tried again and got into the mod, but now in the first era it tells me there is a pediaicons.txt error again. The missing entry is ANIMNAME_PRTO_Silent_Hunter

Hi Brian the Stunt:

I believe that the fixes for those are on pages 28-29 of this thread; it has to do with the Silent Hunter as Impi. Happy civving!

 

[Point13]

Issue: i dled the files (base and patch only) and extracted them to the scenarios folder in conquests but when i load civ-content i get nothing, this has only happened to me a few times

Snoopys terrain (rhyes works fine though :/)
Warhammer mod
Epic World

others such as the ACW and Sarevok's work, are fine.

Any help?

DId you extract to
.../Conquests/Conquests (wrong one)?
or
.../Conquests/Scenario (correct one)?

I followed the instructions there, and it still tells me there is a missing entry in the pedicons.txt. Anyone have any other ideas?

 

[Point13]

i extracted to the scenarios folder

also when i look in the folder from my desktop it's in it but when i open the game it's nowhere to be found...

 

[tjedge1]

Are you going to the civ-content section from the main menu? That's where everything in the scenarios folder will be.

I'm really sorry about that Silent Hunter error. It was my fault originally.

The Expansion pack will feature a new Silent Hunter Unit(One of Kinboats units) Hopefully by that time Kinboat's Bear Warrior will be out, that way we can use the Eagle Warrior for only the Mesoamerican civs as originally intended.

And Tjedge and everyone else looking forward to "Far Horizons" get ready, because the only thing I have to do now is Playtest it, and then if everything goes as planned......upload it!

 

[Balam]

Far Horizons? Don't know of it but I'm sure it will be good. Waiting for that patch...

 

[Point13]

and yes i am going to the civ content section, nothing.

Dont you intend on using any other Kinboat's units to replace any in the game? I think it'd be nice to have the tribesman actually attacking...

And guys... you definetely should go ahead with the idea of making an Asian mod... it would look great if you do it right (which I'm sure you will)

 

[Balam]

One suggestion for the patch/expansion--some civs have a number of UUs, while others seem to have one or none (e.g., Inuit); anyway, just a thought...

"Jeje, no es mi falta, parare a visitar este lugar de manana. Nunca me concoceis. Disfruta"

"Hehe, it's not my fault. I guess some civilizations were stronger than other in having more unique units. Right?"

"Kami sama, jisatsu hoshi? -Hontoni?- Ha"

Please tell me you werent trying to write that same sentence in several languages, cause if it's like that, then you did terribly wrong in the Spanish one...

 

[Balam]

Hehe, well, we ARE talking to Unexisted, so those translations don't officially exist to begin with. But they do say some pretty different things, so we may have been reading different versions of nonexistent replies

I dont know which units you're speaking of.

If you ever get a chance to read Bernal Diaz' The Discovery and Conquest of Mexico, sailing vessels of some kind are reported in their early contacts with the Maya ... in the first encounter of Cortes' expedition, soon after reaching the coast, Bernal reports:

"On the morning of the 4th of March, we saw ten large canoes, called piraguas, full of Indians from the town, approaching us with oars and sails. The canoes were large ones, made like hollow troughs cleverly cut from single huge logs, and many of them would hold 40 Indians."

(my emphasis)


Also by the late 1700s Haida were making vessels remarkably similar to early Meditteranean galleys, after having observed some European ships in their waters. Here's a model of one:

You really did your homework. But most of these groups are either bounce-offs of a main tribe (Iroquois) or very insignificant. Haida? Shoshone? I apparently never heard of them so I have know idea how they are. Assumingly they're just a revolted group or migrants from the:

Westen North America (Apache, Navajo, Cheyenne)
Eastern North America (Sioux, Cherokee, Iroquois)
Meso America (Aztec, Maya)
South America (Inca, Maya, Tupi)

Hmmm, Haida are a pretty major group ... the Pacific Coast culture was definately distinct from anything further inland.

It was a fairly advanced culture on the Pacific Northwest too: extremely wealthy, and advanced enough to give early Russian settlers in Alaska a hard time. The Tlingit fought often with the early settlers and wore armor reminiscinent of Old World designs, but made with wooden slats rather than metal or cured leather, and wielded long, double-edged copper daggers (almost shortswords) as well as bows and spears.

There is an amazing article on warfare in the Pacific Northwest here, describing everything from fortifications to armour to weapons and even naval tactics such as the stone rings the Haida used to smash enemy vessels:

As a Finnish speaking person I thought I'd just mention that "Hyvästi" is Finnish and means "Goodbye". Actually, "Hyvästi" means final goodbyes where you believe you wont see the person again, but Unexisted wasn't probably aware of this.

Looks like he has disappeared again.

 

[tjedge1]

Maybe he was aware and that he will never come back. Then again, how can you leave a place you never were at? He is Unexisted.
