Post new Civ requests here

It's been 3 months, so I'l repost this:

The Ashanti
FULL DESC~~~Ashanti Empire
SHORT DESC~~Asanteman
PERSON DESC~Ashanti


Unique Building: Golden Stool [Courthouse/Castle]. Although it is specifically the throne of the king, there were replicas made, which were prized as symbols of power.

I think Ashanti is an excellent idea but I'd always thought a cool idea for their UB would be some kind of Drumming Station.
This is based only what I've seen on wiki, mind you, but still very interesting and cool I think,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashanti_Empire#Communication_in_Asanteman

The Ashanti also invented a "talking drum". They drummed messages to the extents of over 200 miles (321.8 kilometers), as rapidly as a telegraph. Twi, the language of the Ashanti is tonal and more meaning is generated by tone than in English. The drums reproduced these tones, punctuations, and the accents of a phrase so that the cultivated ear hears the entirety of the phrase itself. The Ashanti readily hear and understood the phrases produced by these “talking drums.” Standard phrases called for meetings of the chiefs or to arms, warned of danger, and broadcast announcements of the death of important figures. Some drums were used for proverbs and ceremonial presentations.

I'm not sure what this would replace, perhaps the Courthouse, but as an effect perhaps it could give extra Espionage?

its been 4 years now and I still cant find it.
ive found a new Philippines Civ but I think its now working can someone please create it please

 

[kochman]

How about South Africa? Could one of you computer geniuses work that out? I have NO clue how to work the computer at that level, code, etc...
It would be much appreciated, and an interesting addition.

Leaders
F.W. de Klerk
*Traits = Financial, Industrious
*Favored Civics/Religion = Emanicipation, Universal Suffrage, Christianity

P.W. Botha
*Traits = Creative, Aggressive
*Favored Civics/Religion = Representation, Serfdom

Empire
Empire Name = South Africa
People = Afrikaner
Adjective = Afrikaan

Unique Unit
Boer Kommando (replaces rifleman/infantry? or maybe calvary?)
*Strength = 15-20 (somewhere in there)
*Movement = 1 (2 if replacing calvary)
*Promotion = Commando (unless replacing calvary, then replace commando with -1 terrain movement cost), March

[MadmanOfALeader]

I always thought of Botha favoring Caste System as a civic, to represent apartheid.

There's a good Paul Kruger and Nelson Mandela LH available.

 

[kochman]

Some minor thoughts while I was away from the computer...
Changes...
I think this would be better...

Leaders
F.W. de Klerk
*Traits = Financial, Industrious
*Favored Civics/Religion = Emanicipation, Universal Suffrage, Christianity

P.W. Botha
*Traits = Creative, Aggressive (based on their fighting in other nations and building nukes)
*Favored Civics/Religion = Representation, Serfdom (or Caste System... though really the serfs seems more appropriate as there was only 3 classes, not 3000. Serfdom is pretty bad, one step from slavery)

Empire
Empire Name = South Africa
People = Afrikaner
Adjective = Afrikaan

Unique Unit (this is refined now)
Boer Kommando (replaces calvary)
*Strength = 15
*Movement = 2

Unique Building (choose one)
Mineral Mines (replaces forge)
*+1 gold/turn from Gems, Gold, Marble, Silver
*+1 happy from Gems, Gold, Marble, Silver; +1 happy from Aluminum, Copper, Iron, Stone

Now, is there anything I need to do, further than this, to have one of you nice programmers do this? I am perfectly willing to help out as needed.

 

[Huayna Capac357]

Parthia:

LH: Mithridates II (Fin/Imp, Free Market)

UU: Parthian Archer (Archer, +1 Movement, +1 Attack)

UB: Trade Center (Market, +1 Trade Route)

 

[kochman]

I thought of two others based on my history studies... Venice (Repubblica Serenissima), and Sicily (Norman Sicily). I never understood how Venice had escape mention for so long, their empire lasted 1000 years and was the major force in the Mediterranean for much of that time.


Here are my basic ideas for them:

Venice/Venezia
Empire
Empire Name = Repubblica Serenissima
People = Venetian
Adjective = Venetian


Leaders
Enrico Dandolo
*Traits = Creative, Financial
*Favored Civs = Free Market

Unique Unit
Venetian Galley (replaces trireme)
*Strength = 3
*Movement = 3
*1 Cargo (spy, missionary, scout, explorer type)
*+50% versus Trireme & Galley
*Cannot enter ocean

Unique Building (choose one)
Merchant's Quarter (replaces market)
*35% gold
*Can turn 2 citizens into merchant
*+1 happy from clams, crabs, fish, gems, ivory, silk, spice
*Available for free on Industrial and later starts

Arsenal (replaces dry dock or perhaps as an actual new wonder)
*Doubles naval production
*No health negative from dry docks (if a wonder)
*New water units receive +4 experience points

Can only be built in a coastal city

Sicily
Empire
Empire Name = Norman Kingdom of Sicily
People = Sicilian
Adjective = Norman

Leaders
Robert Guiscard
*Traits = Aggressive, Imperialistic
*Favored Civics/Religion = Hereditary Rule, Vassalage, Theocracy

Roger II
*Traits = Creative, Charismatic
*Favored Civics/Religion = Bureaucracy, Free Religion

Unique Unit
Norman Brigand (replaces Knight)
*+2 Strength over normal knight
*+50% vs melee
*Immune to first strikes
*Doesn't receive defensive bonuses
*Flank attack vs. Catapults and Trebuchets

Unique Building
Norman Courthouse (replaces courthouse)
*+2 Espionage
*-65% maintenance
*Can turn 1 citizen into Spy
*Required to build Forbidden Palace

 

[Huayna Capac357]

There already is a Venice. Ekmek made it IIRC.

 

[Jeffrodriguez]

How about a Philippines MOD

 

[Huayna Capac357]

There is one already of that too.

Here it is.

 

[hockeyrox38]

It's been 3 months, so I'l repost this:

The Ashanti
FULL DESC~~~Ashanti Empire
SHORT DESC~~Asanteman
PERSON DESC~Ashanti

I'm not an expert modder, but I could probably make an Ashanti mod.
I'm thinking for the UU will start with Medic I.

 

[hockeyrox38]

The Ashanti Empire is done, although there is no UB.

DL it here

 

[Huayna Capac357]

I think Drumming Station (Courthouse, +2 espionage over normal, +4 total in other words)

 

[hockeyrox38]

I like the drumming station idea but what if you usually play without espionage? I'm thinking maybe +1 culture as well

 

[Huayna Capac357]

Yes, +1 Culture as well might be nice.

 

[kochman]

Some civs/nations just seem like a huge stretch...

 

[Huayna Capac357]

@ kochman: Like what?

I would like to request the Anasazi.

LH: Muyingwa (Spi/Fin)

UU: Unsure, maybe a type of worker?

UB: Cistern (Aqueduct, +1 Food or $, maybe?)

 

[kochman]

disregard my previous statement... on reflection, people should do whatever they want with the game (undead civ, etc), I am just kind of traditionalist I guess.

 

[Huayna Capac357]

@ kochman: Like what?

I would like to request the Anasazi.

LH: Muyingwa (Spi/Fin)

UU: Unsure, maybe a type of worker?

UB: Cistern (Aqueduct, +1 Food or $, maybe?)

Anyway, I would like to update this.

The civ should be called the Pueblo, instead of Anasazi.

LH: Popé (Pro/Spi, favors Emancipation)
UU: Cliff Dweller (Worker, +1 Movement, +25% efficiency)
UB: Cistern (Aqueduct, gives city +2 Health, +1 Food)
