Introduction
It is my pleasure to announce that I have started working on Rhye's and Fall of Spain which features the history of Spain , Northern Africa, and Southern France in between the years 500AD - 1700 C.E. (C.E. is Common Era for those who don't know.)
This mod will let you relive the history of Spain and will have a lot of the mechanics included in RFC like historical spawns, Wars, Barbarian uprises and a lot of other things. This mod will rework the whole tech tree to make it more Medieval and Industrial. All the Wonders will also be only about Spain as well as Religions, Corporations, units and, buildings. I will also import a lot of features from Sword of Islam like titles, better corporations, and provinces.
The mod will be released in 1-2 months (hopefully not 3
)
I created this thread because it will take a lot of time to create all the units, buildings, wonders, python, maps, sdk, etc.. so I need all the help I can get.
If you decide to help me with this mod, no matter how little or how much I will also give you credit. To learn more about how you can help scroll down until the title titled 'How you can help.
BUG mod will also be implemented.
To see pictures, see how close I am to finishing, or simply support me go to RFC Spain's official website: https://sites.google.com/view/rfcspain
Religions and Corporations
Of course Religions play a very important part in History, especially in Spain.
There will be 2 main religions and 2 minor ones.
Corporations:
Corporations will be more like in DoC. I have not planned all of them yet or if they will have headquarter cities but until now it's something like this:
Civilizations
This is a list of all the civs, suggestions are still open. Not all civs have UP's ready yet:
UHV's (Unique Historical Victory) might not be included. Not sure yet.
Map
The map is also an important part of the game I think I should include in this thread.
The Map size has been decided, the people have spoken! 4 Votes for Large and 6 Votes for Huge! The Map size = Huge.
The map will be something like this:
Europe:
All of Spain as well as southern France all the way to Bordeaux.
The map will also have the Island of Corsica.
No part of Italy will be included but I will be considering adding part of Italy and add Genoa as well in another update.
Africa:
The part of Africa will have all of Northern Africa from Morocco to Tunisia.
Also the map will go all the way down to the lands of the Mali but not until Timbutku. So that's why the capital of the Mali won't be Timbutku.
Hopefully this will give you an insight as to how the map will look.
After I finish the map (somewhere in December) I will post a picture here.
Rhye's and Fall Concepts
I'm not the greatest python and c++ modder but I can work my way with python a bit. So this mod will not include all the RFC Concepts.
This mod will not have the stability mechanic though it might be introduced in another update.
UHV's, not sure if I'm capable of creating them.
Manual AutoPlay: I have no idea how to force AI Auto Play so when the game starts a popup will pop up on which it states how many turns you have to manually insert. To open the AI Auto Play window you need to press Ctrl+ Shift +X.
!Warning!
Do not press Ctrl Shift X while the AI is auto playing or this will result in the You have been defeated message showing up and you being eliminated.
The RiseAndFall.py will be totally reworked as to make it more simple. Using various python scripts from various mod comps I have created a method that turns the RiseAndFall.py file into RiseAndFall.xml and everything is defined much simpler. Same to the AI Wars.py was turned into AIWars.xml.
RFC Spain Unique Concepts
This mod will also add a bunch of new stuff that didn't exist in RFC originally.
Inquisition:
For starters there will be Inquisition which will let you remove any religion (even your current state religion, though it will have consequences) from a city.
Mercenaries:
Mercenaries as you know already exist in RFC but the Mercenaries in RFC Spain will be a bit more different, I suggest you look at the picture in the last comment.
Forts with culture:
Forts and Citadels will have your culture once built! If you built a fort no matter where it will get your current culture on it. If you want to have a closer look, look at the picture in the last comment.
ETC:
Many various things will be included as well. Provinces like in SoL also know as the Sword of Islam. Corporations will be more like in RFC DoC also know as RFC Dawn of Civilization. That means that the corporations will auto spread themselves but only to cities controlled by a specific civ, for example you will probably see the South American Gold route spread to Portuguese cities but never will you see it in a Moorish city.
Victory:
No more UHV's though I will probably add them once I am more experienced, instead of UHV's or Unique Historical Victory you will need to complete the following tasks which can be completed by any civ:
-Impress the Pope, if state religion is Catholic or Impress the Caliph of Baghdad if your religion is Islam. I will go to this on more detail once the mod is finished.
-Control both of the holy cities, Santiago and Kairouan and have 7500 gold.
-Spread your religion to 75% of the map and do not let any Protestant or Jewish civs exist.
Stability:
The most annoying thing in all RFC modmods is that one second you are the leading power of the world, and the next you don't have anything!
In real history this happened very rarely, I mean come on! All of your cities revolting in the same day?!
So instead of the usual RFC stability mechanic your cities will still become independent if your stability is bad but not all of them at the same time, one or two at a time.
If one of your cities revolts and becomes independent the chances are that more of your cities will follow but at least you have a warning.
BUG or RevDCM:
This mod will either contain the RevolutionDCM system but without Barbarian Civ and Civ emergence out of Revolutions or BUG mod.
I would add BUG but without the Sevopedia so if I manage to remove the Sevopedia from BUG then RFC Spain will have BUG User Interface.
Wonders
List of wonders from RFC Spain, I haven't decided on all of their abilities yet. I also am in desperate need for wonders so it would help me a lot if you make a bit of research and tell me an idea for a wonder of Spain. This is not all of them but more then half.
Wonder name; Effect; When will it be automatically built if the city is controlled by AI
Islamic Wonders:
Catholic Wonders:
How you can help
As a lot of other mods I want the Civ players to be able to contribute as well.
I will be creating all the Civs and Leaderheads but the units and buildings/wonders can be created by anyone. If you want to add a unit/building/wonder or maybe all 3, I recommend (and I would appreciate it) if you make it modular, because making modules is much easier then you might think. Here is a guide on how to make something modular: Modular Tutorial.
If you help out in any possible way I will post your name in the credits file.txt and in the mod thread.
I also need ideas for wonders, if you know any wonder from Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco, Spain, Southern France, or Mali please tell me.
A great way you can help in is by creating Aragon, Leon, Castile, Moroccan, Tunisian Great People Names! Simply create a txt file and do the following:
<Tag>TXT_CASTILE_GREAT_GENERAL_0</Tag>
<English>El Cid</English>
<Tag>TXT_CASTILE_PROPHET_0</Tag>
<English>Adelelmus</English>
<Tag>TXT_ARAGON_SCIENTIST_0</Tag>
<English>Andres Manuel</English>
<Tag>TXT_ARAGON_SCIENTIST_1</Tag>
<English>Aureliano</English>
I think you get what I'm saying. Anyway I would also greatly appreciate it if you could make separate TXT files for every civ.
Thank You! If you do create the TXT file just upload it below in the comments.
P.S. I recommend just searching on any Internet Browser "Spanish/Moroccan Scientists/Generals etc..
Language
This mod will be released in English only.
After finishing the mod and uploading it I might start working on an update that adds the language Spanish since this a mod about Spain.
But if you don't know English you will not be able to read the civilopedia but that's not such a big deal.
Another thing, the units and buildings will not have a entry in the civiliopedia, or at least not all of them, only the Wonders, Civilizations, and Leaders will 100% have a background entry in the civiliopedia.
and welcome to...
Where you will relive the history of Spain with your very own eyes
