I don't think the addition of new civs is that necessary honestly. Like another poster was saying in here, though, if you have HRE, you have to have enough civs in Germany to make it a worthwhile concept, otherwise it's not necessary.
There's really only a few civs that I wish made the cut in the original RFCE 1.0 version, and the civs are:
Scotland
(Possibly Ireland, but also possibly not needed)
Aragon or Catalonia (could be subsumed into Leon and Castile, but it'd be interesting for historical purposes)
Civs in Germany to make the HRE concept viable and interesting
And then, of course, a civ in Morocco to take up the place of the Fall of the Muslims in Spain.
Other than that, though, I don't see too much need for MORE civs...like you said, they just lag the game up which I already have a problem with. I'd like the K mod implemented to lessen the chance of MAFs. I have never had a MAF happen in a SoI game, so I don't see why it couldn't happen for a RFCE game, as well.
Honestly, I still think that the stability ratings for the various civs in RFCE are still out of wack, too, especially in RFCE 1.0. Civil wars happen too frequently, and Austria rarely ever makes it after it's spawn. France rarely survives in any of my games, either, and they are supposed to be the powerful civ on the map.
So basically in order of importance for civs I would put it as:
Scotland
Maghreb-like Civ for Islam to make that area interesting and viable
Aragon/Catalonia
Civs in Germany
(Maybe not Ireland, though)
I'm sceptical towards more German civs for a number of reasons. Firstly gameplay, we don't want a zillion different civs. Also I don't see any principal difference between for example Bavaria and Swabia the way that there is a difference between Spain and Portugal. Also historical reasons, Germany in the middle ages was no less homogeneous than France or Poland. Really the fragmentation that is associated with the HRE did not come until the Reformation and 30 years war.
And if someone need the flags for the civs in german ,I can make them
Do have a "blank" icon .dds file with only a frame? I feel difficult to make icons without a .dds like thatI made new icons for them in + +, but they do need new models.
Brainstorming means exchanging ideas.
