Request for outline or pointers for new civilizations.

[RxP13]

I just had an epiphany and came up with a grand idea for a new Civillization for a mod, but I have never made a mod before or made a civ before either. Since the game mechanics are different in FfH2 than vanilla, I thought it would be good to ask what might be good to use as an outline or list of important things to create in the creative process. If this is in the wrong forum however, I am sorry for inconveniencing everyone.

it probably would be good to look at the sdk too (it can also be found here) if you are planing on doing the programming for the mod.

Here's an outline of how to create a civilization: link

And here's another: link

Good luck with your civ.

Thanks for the links, they really helped. Sadly being a total noob, I am nowhere near to approaching the actual coding and such. Rather I am just outlining and developing the civ. I would really appreciate any help on this one in terms of balancing too, since I would probably screw it up. Anyways, I just drafted this little puny infinitesimally small outline. Any suggjestions would be greatly rewarded... With my gratitude, though thats probably not worth much.

*- The explaination for this is that Langauge became a massive trading center for the empire in my idea of the civ, and so the leader decided to name it langauge, after all the langauges that came through that town.

*- Increases Cultural and Scientific Output, but decreases Economic and Military output. Also adds a small random modifier to relations ranging from +1 to -1.
