New Civ: Bretagne

Since people are speaking of French regions, a French region mod would be interesting. If anyone would be interested in this, I'd be glad to help in anway I could. But as for Bretagne, this civ looks great! Keep up the good work!
 
LAnkou, could you email me just the leaderhead? The Anne one? I do not want to have to download the whole thing. Thanks.
 
Thanks.

Nice !!!

I'm Briton Myself, so I will try this mod as soon as possible.

For Jecrell, and all those that don't know much about Brittany's history, I'll tell you that :

First some definitions :
Bretagne, is a French word for Brittany.
In English, it's habitants are called Britons, and in French we're called Bretons.
We are on an English speaking forum, so I will use the English words.


The (Old) Britons were the people who lived in Great Britain before the Anglo-Saxons. They were first conquered by Cesar the Roman.

In Legends, our ancestors had a Great King, the very famous Arthur who vainquished the Anglo-Saxons.
In real history, the Britons were defeated by the Anglo-Saxons, and pushed to the west of Great Britain. The Anglo-Saxons therefore created England, chasing away the Britons, it happened gradually during the 5th and 6th Century.

Wales and Cornwall became overpopulated, so many Britons migrated to the continent peninsula called Armorica by the romans.

The Welsh, and the Cornish did not kept the name of "Britons", but in fact those people have the same ancestors as the "modern" (Continental) Britons.

The "modern" Britons arise as an independent nation, during the 9th an 10th Century, especially under the rule of King Nominoë, and his son Erispoë (around 850AD).

Brittany standed independant as a great Duchy until 1532AD, short after the death of Anne de Bretagne, the last great duchess of Brittany. She was forced to mary two French Kings, Charles VIII and Louis XII, but managed to keep Brittany independant.

Since 1532AD, Brittany is part of France, but kept many of its own specificities :
Our language is endangered, but still alive.
We have a different culture as the rest of France.
And thanks to Anne de Bretagne we have free motorways ! ;)


Concerning the mod, I would have seen better Nominoë, in place of Du Guesclin, but anyway, thanks for the mod.
 
I had a problem, I DL the files I asked for, then they just dissapeared of the computer! Gone! Poof!

Would you consider Emailing them to me, or just Anne Preferably...
 
Thank you very much.
 
OK it works with WinRar now...
I don't understand because PowerArchiver managed the other .RAR files very well until yours.


By the way, what's the change with Anne ?

I don't know if you've seen this picture before :

That's a statue of her in my home city of Nantes. It is taken from this article :

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anne_of_Brittany

This one is much more detailed, but in French :
http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anne_de_Bretagne
 
what do you mean "what's the change with Anne"?

well, Anne is "now" an animated leaderhead (since V1.02 or 03, i think i can tell one of the best modded one) whereas she wasn't before...
 
This Brittany mod is a great idea. Good job :goodjob: I'm gonna try it in my next Civ game (that is to say soon ;))

Even if I've been living in Provence since a couple of years, my family comes from Britanny (St-Brieuc and Brest), and I grew up in a strong Briton culture (well like in any Briton family I guess :lol:)

May I make a suggestion for UU : why not playing the "Bonnets rouges", the people who revolted in 1675 against the French government after new taxes were implemented ?
This unit could replace pikemen, and have a bonus for city defenses (in reference to the time it took to Duke de Chaulnes to get them away from Rennes), or could be cheaper (this army was raised very easily as many peasants volunteered to take part in the revolt). And historically speaking, it's a nice homage to all these people whose fight was the first basis of what became the French Revolution.

By the way, the idea of a mod with all different french cultures would be really big fun :) I already saw Euskadi and Ch'ti in the list ...

If you need help in improving the Brittany mod or the french regions mod, maybe I can help (I'm training in unit modification and reskinning right now).

Yec'hed Mat ! :beer:
 
Hi, LanKou.My Civ4-Warlords is a Japanese version set to English Lang so Amra's mod(with Bretagne's) doesn't work in my game.So I thought maybe you could let me have a copy of your mod "Bretagne v1.05" to play? I couldn't download in #1 of this thread.They ask me to upload a file(?),Sorry to bother.
