None Australian civ?

[CivArmy s. 1994]

I think it could be a great idea create a civ for Australia, what do u think? I just need some suggestions for leaders, city list, artwork reference and I can create this new one. I think there is a lot of Australians on these boarders and I think I didn't see a thread for them civ yet.
I have to create a new LHs pack soon and I'd like to add Australian in this new pack

thanks.

Crikey!

I WANT Steve Irwin as leader of Australian empire he would |20><><0|2

as for unique unit what about some kind of expeditionary corps, something ANZAC flavoured, like infantry with amphibious promotion(can attack from ships). Aussies were at Galipoli, right?

...or if no other leader comes to mind, then pick a Habsburg J/K

A flag I created that can be used for Australia, posted here as per CivArmy's request. What does everyone think of it? The shape of the stars got a little warped, but it shouldn't matter if the flag is displayed ingame.

This is just me so if you want to completely ignore(or correct) me but...

Australia was a penial colony for the british, and before that it was just barb tribes...

now it is its own place, but I really cant see a australian civ even less than I can see a american, sumarian, or scandinavin.

read the signature it tells the truth!!

australia was like a giant prison for lawbreakers and irish ( )
although whats wrong with scandanavia or sumerian (i admit sumerian is a wee bit too generic)
i can see your point on an american civ, but it HAS been around for 200~ years
and australia should be its own civ as it has been for something like 150~ years

Sounds like a good idea, the Autralians could use a bit of cilivizing. ;-)

Canberra is current capital but Sydney was first city... though they made Moscow Russias first so i guess it doesnt really matter

Australia is a young country by comparisson to England, USA, Germany and well pretty much everyone else. Established in 1788 and Federated in 1901 - well thats the white mans story.

" Aboriginal settlers arrived on the continent from Southeast Asia about 40,000 years before the first Europeans began exploration in the 17th century. No formal territorial claims were made until 1770, when Capt. James COOK took possession in the name of Great Britain. Six colonies were created in the late 18th and 19th centuries; they federated and became the Commonwealth of Australia in 1901. The new country took advantage of its natural resources to rapidly develop its agricultural and manufacturing industries and to make a major contribution to the British effort in World Wars I and II. In recent decades, Australia has transformed itself into an internationally competitive, advanced market economy. It boasted one of the OECD's fastest growing economies during the 1990's, a performance due in large part to economic reforms adopted in the 1980's. Long-term concerns include pollution, particularly depletion of the ozone layer, and management and conservation of coastal areas, especially the Great Barrier Reef. "

Even with a population of only 20million I think it would be cool to have an Australian Civ to play with, I would.. but I am not sure if I am biased.

Im Australian and i love the Idea of an Aussie civ!!!!! if you need any city ideas drops us a line and Ill be more than happy to help u out :-D Ive heard nothing but great ideas here. i like the idea of an AZAC as the uu maybe replace infantry???

 

[Megatherion]

Always wanted to visit Australia, but the flight etc. are quite expansive....so an Aussie Civ could compensate my lack of money.

UU Suggestions:
Aborigine Boomerang Hunter (replaces Warrior or Archer,something early)
Dame Edna *g*
