Drak, yeah Python is great...but not so much when it doesn't work. Theres so much in this mod that I had to disable because of python. I don't know why Revolution doesn't work(well it works, but there was always that Renaissance era crash if you recall) for example.
But the map sounds awesome regardless.
Since Atlantis' location will be staying, it could be seen as a what-if world map, with the additional continents, that would be interesting I think.
Small update:
-Lumeria -The Continent Will be heavily based on the various novels, comics and lore developed around this lost continent, including Ron Howard's works like Kull. However the location will be in the middle of the Indian Ocean, south of India, and near Madagascar.
Lumeria existed during the recent prehistoric past, and was home to various peoples. Had the Earth's tectonic plates not realigned, Lumeria's native Valusian civilization would have risen to prominence.
The Lumerian civilization is another animal. The Lumerians, called kumari kandam by their Tamil descendants, are quite civilized and control the north and west part of the continent. They possess the mysterious sonic technology that some say build the Egyptian Pyramids.
Two New Civilizations here:
-Valusia: represents the savage, Ron Howard part of the continent
-Lumeria: Represents the lore regarding kumari kandam developed during the 1800s.
-Mu will be based on the various Turok games and comics. Mu is a lost land, also a last refuge for Dinosaurs. An advanced people similar in culture to the Mesoamerican peoples have built an advanced society here. Mu is a smaller continent, close to the coasts of southern central America as well as south America. Easter Island was once part of this landmass. Mu is longer and arranged in a diagonal direction, but is not that much bigger than Australia. The Mulian civilization encouraged trade threw out the more advanced north and south American peoples until Mu disappeared under mysterious circumstances. It is unknown if a flood took down the continent, like with Atlantis, or extreme earthquake activity, as with Lumeria.
Mulians have tamed some of the Dinosaurs and use them in battle. As they advance threw the tech tree they gain access to "Chronomaly" tech, such as golden fighter aircraft(The crystal skulls, which originated with Mu, are another example of this technology), remnants of this vehicles have been found in the Andes, but are mere toy models. The units are not more powerful than normal, but represent the possibility that an ancient civilization developed air power.
In the future era, the Mulians will have some strong Unique Units however.
New Civs:
Mu: An advanced Mesoamerican-like civilization that early on domesticates Dinosaurs, and later creates some familiar, but sometimes bizarre technology.
Polynesia: The old "Naacal" civilization is for all intents and purposes, Polynesia, kind of representing the Maori and Easter Island, as well as Tonga. If I can flesh out the various Polynesian peoples, I can separate them. For now however, the Polynesian and Hawaiian civs will have to do.
Non-mythical civs:
The Phillipines: A cultural link initially, between Polynesia and Indonesia(and Malaysia), the Phillipines developed their unique identity after the coming of the Spanish and later the Americans.
New Australian peoples: For along time Boonkie and I talked about fleshing out the Aborigines. Current the Koori civilization is there, but I have plenty of material from Boonkie to make several more civs. I will start with one more however.
Athens: I've long wanted to do a Greek split. Athens is the philosophical and commercial Greek city state. They field their own kind of Hoplites, and build a great fleet of Triremes to battle Persia during that great war. Both will be represented here.
Sparta: Sparta was one of the most powerful Greek states for a reason. The warrior culture and their ability to form alliances against Athens lead them to prevail during that conflict. Even the Macedonians had a healthy respect for Sparta. Had Sparta not fallen, perhaps they would have founded a powerful empire....
The Crusader States: The Knightly orders of the Templars and Hospitallers controlled a lot of land at their height, including Outremer, Malta and more. I think its high time they get civilizations of their own.
