Borrowing heavily from Fictionalization IV, which was never finished
as well as Rise of Legends, I've decided that other than Atlantis there will be the following Legendary civilizations:
Avalon: Mysterious precursors to the Celts, who knew these people as the Tuatha de Danann and were revered as gods. The Avalonians were one of the first civilizations to emerge after the cataclysm and were responsible for Stonehenge as well as many other monolith structures in western Europe. At their worst, they practiced dark rituals and human sacrifice under the Druidic Priesthood, at their best, they were represented as a force of chivalry and honor threw the legendary Avalonian kingdom of Camelot. When their civilization began to fade, much of their culture was absorbed into the Celts, and some into the Greeks.
Unique Buildings:
-Monolith Circle: Stonehenge-like constructions that replace Schools for Avalonia. These buildings are required to train Wizards.
Unique Units:
-Knight of Camelot: A strong national unit, Avalon can train up to 12 of these at one time.
-Wizards: Magic-using units, Wizards hurl fireballs at their opponents. They are buildable until the dawn of the age of science.
Rama: Also known as Lumeria. According to ancient Sanskrit texts like the Ramayana and Mahabahrata, the Rama Empire thrived thousands of years before the English believed a civilization even existed in the area. Current texts admit that this great civilization ended somewhere between 2,500 and 4,500 B.C. When did it all begin? Some Sanskrit scholars would say the Rama Empire thrived around 10-15,000 B.C. and that only remnants survived the great war that their history recorded.
Western archeologists have long insisted that the tales of a technologically advanced civilization were merely figments of some over-imaginative Indian writer, but they will admit to being puzzled at the findings at Mohenjo-Daro and other Rishi cities.
The cities were highly developed with a great degree of pre-planning in streets, covered sewage systems, private toilets, running water to homes, remarkable plumbing and homes constructed of kiln-fired brick. This is more sophisticated than many of the cities in India, Pakistan and Asia today.
According to the texts a great war erupted between the Rama Empire and a more militaristic group called
the Atlans(Atlantis). The Asvin Priest Kings of the Rama Empire were forced to use their mental-psychic powers to create a defensive illusion. While this tactic was successful at first, the Atlans persisted and returned with their ultimate weapon. This weapon is described as Kapillas Glance in both the Mahabaharata and Drona Parva. It was described, "A single projectile, charged with all the power of the universe. An incandescent column of smoke and flame as bright as the thousand suns rose in all its splendor. It was an unknown weapon, an iron thunderbolt, a gigantic messenger of death which reduced the entire race of the Vrishnis and Andhakas to ashes. The corpses were so burned as to be unrecognizable. The hair and the nails fell out. Pottery broke without apparent cause and the birds turned white. After a few hours all the foodstuffs were infected. To escape from this fire, the soldiers threw themselves in streams to wash themselves and their equipment.".
Unique Building:
Sewer: Replaces the Aquaduct, is available earlier, and has an increased health bonus.
Unique Unit:
Psion: A unit that attacks using the power of the mind.
Naacal: Mu, was said to be a lost Pacific Ocean continent, which was home to a lost civilization which greatly influenced both the later Polynesian people as well as the Inca and other Andean peoples. The Naacal built great Moa monuments, a feat that was later copied by the inhabitants of Easter Island. Sometimes confused for Atlantis, the Naacal(in this mod) did not in fact influence Greek or Egyptian culture, though they had some influence on the Hindi cultures(along with Rama's influence), threw monuments left behind following the destruction of their civilization. This great civilization was destroyed in the same disaster which ended the other great empires of pre-history.
There are afew civics in the current version which I've fixed in the next(which I haven't released yet), that were really unbalanced in that regard though Oo
...well the following turn my explorer group Scout, and warrior wiped. A red dragon toasted them. He had a movement of 6
..no escape for anyone.
