New Civs wanted

[Jamius]

I started this thread for people to include new Civs that they want.

Personally, I would like for someone to create Israel with King David as the leader... could anyone help me out with that?

Well, as a stop-gap measure, you can just pick the leader/civ whose traits you think are the best match for the Israelites, then change your leader and civ name and you're off and running.
I'm assuming your going to beeline to found Judaism!
And name your capital Jerusalem.

You can also check out the Creation and Customization forum, New Civilizations sub-forum. You may very well find a mod that adds the civ you want in there.

Sidebar: what would the most apt traits for King David be? Creative and Aggressive seem apropos to me.

Not philosophical? And for starting techs, Animal Husbandry and Mysticism. Unique Unit could be...?

Animal Husbandry can't be a starter tech. It has prerequisites.

But he was a shepherd!

Based on his claimed authorship of several of the Psalms, I think Creative is more appropriate than Philosophical. I can't recall many other "great people" emerging during his reign, unlike, say, Elizabeth I of England (Shakespeare, Bacon, Raleigh, Drake, etc).

Aggressive makes sense to me; he was an accomplished warrior and united Israel, which IIRC was an accomplishment not repeated until the last century.

I'm tempted to replace one of these traits with Spiritual, but then, God ordered David to not build a great temple in Jerusalem.

So I'm sticking with Creative and Aggressive for King David. But of course, I'm no modder, and any of them can put in any trait combination they want.

EDIT: Starting techs--Mysticism, definitely. Agriculture would give him a head start on AH and is appropriate for the "fertile crescent".

I don't know enough about the military history of the era to recommend a UU.

I finally went and looked. There are two mods that add Israel:

Both have King David in them.
