[NikNaks]

Awesome! Less work for me

Yes good news indeed! I will still edit the city names to the true Welsh I reckon though I never got started on this, got dragged into working for my university newsletters o_O

Better news, I actually have put the city names in welsh (Based on the posts on this thread)

All hail esnaz, our new King!

This looks good to me! Thanks for putting this together

I would make a couple of suggestions on the city names though. I agree with 6underground that Welsh language names are more appropriate. Also, Port Talbot and Cwmbran are quite new towns so I'd put them quite far down your list. Cwmbran as we know it today is a "New Town", largely planned in the 20th century.

Although Cardiff/Caerdydd is only the modern capital I think its the most recognisable city to be the capital in the game.

Here's a list that might work, starting with the five "cities" that exist in modern Wales:
Caerdydd, Bangor, Abertawe, Casnewydd, Tyddewi*, Caernarfon, Machynlleth, Caerfyrddin, Conwy, Penffro, Aberteifi, Caerffili, Aberhonddu, Rhuddlan, Hwlffordd, Dinbych, Fflint, Cricieth, Caergybi, Aberystwyth, Llandudno, Wrecsam, Barri, Aberafan**, Cwmbran, Merthyr Tudful, Ebbw Vale, Blaenau

* St Davids
* Port Talbot

You might also want to consider Garth Celyn as a city name, as it was the home of the Princes of Wales before the English conquest.

Hope that helps.

Port Talbot is indeed relatively modern - perhas Margam might be a better shout? Though I would love to play a game with Port Talbot as a city...

As long as it doesn't turn out like Fairfield... (in-joke for anyone from Neath/Swansea/PT)!

Looks as good as any Civ in the game. Nice job
In all your civ's you seem to understand UU balance.

That's the first time I've heard that, thanks

I have a request for a Trojan Empire and Balearic Empire on the last page of the Civ request thread if your looking for another civ to make. Downloaded that 14 civ mod and its really good- like the Hittites and the idea of playing your own unique Civ.

Blaenavon (Welsh; Blaenafon should be included as that is where the Ironworks are on the Wonders, I should know as I live there

 

[Welshdragon]

troytheface, i'll try to make a map of it if you tell me what size you need the map, then anyone could do what they want with it?

(Sorry for interupting esnaz' post)

 

[troytheface]

they are just individual civ suggestions, no map necessary.
Esnaz's Civ's all load easily and look just like ingame civs.

Okay, thanks for the suggestion. I'll add it to the city list, if thats what you meant
