The capital should be Dijon and the UU should be the Bombard

I was doubting whether I should propose Brussels or Dijon for capital. You see, the Burgundian court was centered in Brussels, for practical purposes.

The problem the Burgundians faced was connecting the landmasses of Burgundy (proper) and Brabant, Namur, Flanders, etc... (French: "Les pays de par deça" Dutch: "De landen van herwaarts over").

It was that what would mean the end of them eventually.
 
But Brussels would be to belgiumy if you no what I mean, I mean what if it were in a same scenario with Belgium? That's why I proposed Dijon.
 
The capital should definitely be Dijon

A problem with many cities then. The Burgundians ruled over practically over what is now Belgium and a big part of what are the Netherlands and Northern France and I don't think it's a good idea to exclude those cities (they didn't have much control over the Northern Netherlands though, which was practically dominated by Holland and was torn by a civil war between two prominent factions; so you can exclude those).
In fact, the most important cities were located in what's currently Belgium, but the names haven't changed like Constantinople became Istanbul (as the ethnic composition always remained the same, more or less). Not so practical when having both a Burgundian and a Belgian civilization. I guess using both of those together isn't a good idea.

Also, how many Burgundian (proper) cities are included in the French civilization ? Does anyone have an idea of this ?


Here's a map of the empire at its greatest extent:

The Burgundian rulers just inherited the "The countries of over yonder" (French: "Les pays de par deça"; Dutch: "De landen van herwaarts over"), which are nowadays called the 'Low Countries' (not in those days, though).
Charles the Bold sought in merging his two landmasses into one more or less solid one, as you can see on the map. He died during the Battle of Nancy, leaving no male heir passing through the Low Countries to the Habsburgs through Mary of Burgundy and her husband Maximilian of Habsburg. Burgundy itself reverted to the French crown.

I guess either IMPerialistic or AGGressive should be Charles' the Bold second trait.

This is what I get for not checking regularly. Someone's nice enough to take interest and I don't respond for a month.:blush:

Anyway, yes. It fits for Trujillo perfectly, he just needs a hitler mustache and make the uniform more fatigue colored.

Thanks for responding!:goodjob::D
 
Hi there so I was making my own personal mod for me to use and I found out that there are some civs and Leaderheads that I would like the mod to have but haven't been made and I don't have the XML capabilities to make them. Also there are several wonders I have the skins for but probably couldn't write the XML without messing something up.

Here is a list. If you make any of these make them for BTS please.
Civilizations (If you want to make any of these please make them Modular)
Mexico
Veitnam
Czech Republic
Slovakia
Yugoslavia
Romania
Norway
Croatia
Venezula
Cuba
Haiti
Dominican Republic
Jamaica
Iran
Iraq
Afghanistan
Kuwait
Saudi Arabia
Sudan
South Africa
Ghana
Democratic Republic of Congo
Kenya
Uganda
Serbia
Songhai

Leaderheads (Modular please)
John Adams
Martin Luther King Jr.
Thomas Jefferson
Aaron Burr (Thomas Jefferson's vice president)

Wonders (Guess what? Modular Please.)
Space Needle
Big Ben
Chrysler Building
Empire State Building
Buckingham Palace
Arch De Triumph
Burj Al Arab
Gateway Arch
White House
Washington Monument
CN Tower
Sydney Opera House
Gateway Arch
Leaning Tower of Pisa

A couple of nice features would be Revolutions the ablilty for cities to break away from your civ and from a new civ.
River travel. The ability to have ships also travel down rivers.

Im not sure if these abilities can be made though

If you wish to help with any of these please contact me I have the art files for all the wonders. I will try my best to do all of these but help would be appreciated.
 
I think a Mississippian Empire would be very cool. Of course there are very few historical records to work off of, but it would add to the numbers of West-Hemisphere Civs, which is always nice
 
What about the Minor nations civ?
Leader: Prince Rainier
UU: Peacekeeper
UB: Government Building
(capital Monaco, encompasses Iceland, Faroës, Aland, Vatican, Leshoto, Swaziland, Madagascar, and tiny pacific islands)
 
Can someone please make a Norway mod for Beyond the sword? I have Jorrtapp's mod, but it's only for vanilla so it's getting kinda boring.
 
Hello. My name is Creatureboy11. I made this thread because I cannot mod, but had an awesome idea!

New Civilization - Haudenosaunee
Civ4 - By the Way
  • Leader - Hiawatha; Spiritual, Charamistic; Behaves neutrally, slightly peaceful
  • Unique Unit - Native; Replaces Scout; 3 Strength, 3 movement, Can Attack
  • Starting Technologies - Hunting, Agriculture
  • Banner - Iroquois flag turned 90 degrees

City List
The list of cities would first be the 5 nations as the first five, then Tuscarora as the sixth city. Then include the Angonquian tribes.
Civilopedia Entry
The Haudenosaunee or the "People of the Longhouse", are an association of several tribes of indigenous people of North America. After the Iroquoian-speaking peoples coalesced as distinct tribes, based mostly in present-day central and upstate New York, in the 16th century or earlier they came together in an association known today as the Iroquois League, or the "League of Peace and Power". The original Iroquois League was often known as the Five Nations, as it was composed of the Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga and Seneca nations. After the Tuscarora nation joined the League in 1722, the Iroquois became known as the Six Nations.
Closing Notes
If a modder can make this Iroquois civilization, i'd be honored. I would be honored because there are too many Iroquois civs.
 
I'd like to see a Breton civ to (in my eyes) complete the Celt split in Gold, since ATM none of the Celtic sub-civs is really appropriate for Boudica. Not really sure what to recommend for cities or UB/UU, aside from probably ganking some of the cities from the default Celts, tho if someone wanted I could probly do a little research a bit later...
 
I really wish somebody would make an Italian Civ. Italian civilisation became much different than Roman and I'm not content to simply say that Italians are in the game as the Romans reach modernity.

For leaders I'd suggest Lorenzo the Magnificent, maybe Cavour. Unique unit should obviously be the Condottiere, or the Alpini.
 
I have ideas for civilizations:
Hyrule
Leader: King Harkinian (he was in those god-awful Zelda games)
UU: Link (replaces swordsman)
The Orks
-Leader: Warlord Gorgutz 'Ead 'Unter
-Favorite civic: Waaagh! (their own unique civic)
Jamaica
an anime-related alliance
Iceland
Alaska
New Zealand
Norway
The Mushroom Kingdom
Sudan

I never saw any of these civilizations on the site, and I thought it cool if these were in the game, so I decided to suggest them.
