Scapegrace's Stunningly Spurious Sivs. =]

[SuperWaffle247]

Yeah, you've got a point there - Our World is basically Scapegrace and Urdnot Scott's Fun Design House. Not that I'm complaining, of course!

 

[Hoop Thrower]

I kinda want to do Costa Rica. I currently have Nicaragua as my planned non-socialist Lat Am. civ but this seems a lot more interesting. What's Our World without an enviromentalist civ? (other than Kenya)

-> Nicaragua
--> Non-Socialist

U W0T M8?

 

[Scapegrace]

Yeah, I was gonna say... bit odd. Hence why my own Nicaraguan design is rather more left-facing than that. =]

 

[Hoop Thrower]

Hum, here are my takes on Costa Rica & Nicaragua, based off your designs of course:

Costa Rica (Jose Figueres Ferrer)
Start Bias: Coastal Jungle
Capital: San Jose
UA: Pura Vida
After adopting an Ideology, Cities Generate +5% Tourism for each unimproved tile within their territory. 1 Extra Happiness from Discovery of Natural Wonders.
UU: Carretero (Replaces Worker)
Ignores Difficult Terrain, unlike the Worker it replaces, and generates culture from moving.
UB: Eco Hotel (replaces Hotel)
50% of the Culture output of Wonders and Improvements added to the City as Tourism. + 50% of the Tourism from Great Works in City. Additionally, 50% of the Food Generated by Jungles in city is added as Tourism as well as the total Yields of Natural Wonders worked by the city.

Normally I'm against percentage bonuses, but I'll make an exception here because if it were raw yields the mechanic would be terribly abusable through founding cities everywhere after adopting Ideologies. It was odd that the Posterchild of Ecotourism didn't have Eco Hotels as the unique, so I set out to correct that, transforming the Carretería in an unit while I was at it to give the civ something to do early game and because having a military unique unit for a nation which... doesn't have military felt off.

Nicaragua (Augusto César Sandino)
Start Bias: Coastal
Capital: Managua
UA: Gobernar Desde Abajo
At the Outbreak of War, spawn a Barbarian Land Military Unit outside the other nation's Capital each time you adopt a Social Policy. Generates Tourism against civs whose units you kill within your territory equal to the defeated unit's strenght.
UU: Sandinista (replaces Infantry)
Starts with Woodsman. Additionally, unlike the Infantry it replaces, it may construct a Barbarian Encampment on Forest and Jungle Tiles in enemy territory. It is also cheaper.
UI: Galeria Praxis (replaces Museum)
When the theming bonus of a Galeria Praxis is fulfilled, the cost of Social Policies is lowered by 5% (max. 50%) and the Culture output of the City in which it is built is increased by 25%. Contains a slot for a Great Artist. Does not require an Opera House.

Talk about long UAs. I liked the general feel of the civ, but I didn't think the Production bonus was fitting, so I changed it to something that'd make more sense (Iran Contras anyone?). Something's telling me that UA is too long to properly appear in the description however.

 

[SuperWaffle247]

Pre-Sandanista Nicaragua, silly geese. It was a Somoza civ.

 

[Uighur_Caesar]

Yeah it'd be a good idea to not make all of Our World's Latin American civs left wing. I mean Chavez and Fidel are already planned so an environmental or right wing Latin American civ would be nice for the sake of variety. Or a drug cartel civ, my personal choice, just because I think they could have some pretty cool and unique mechanics

 

[SuperWaffle247]

I find the cartels and the drug war fascinating, so I'd be down for that but I'm not sure it fits in with the mechanics of Civ.

Unless....
Scape?

 

[Scapegrace]

The Somozas were horrifying dictators backed by the Americans while people starved in the streets... and while they came before the Sandinista movement, the dynasty came to power as the result of an American-supported coup d'état against Sandino.

Just throwing that out there.

 

[Hoop Thrower]

Eh, if we're up to making a Drug Cartel civ, why go with anything but the biggest?

A Colombian Civ led by Pablo Escobar would be awesome, I mean, it'll probably get you more flak than most of the other civs together but still, awesome.

(I know he wasn't president, but he had so much money and power he probably was more powerful than him).

 

[Scapegrace]

If you do that, don't come to me for help.

 

[Uighur_Caesar]

I honestly don't see why there'd be a problem with doing Somoza or the drug cartels. There's already mods for Hitler, Stalin and Mao and there's a planned Fidel mod so you have the 4 worst dictators of the 20th century, at least in my opinion. Somoza was a horrible dictator, but all the stuff that happened to the people in his reign (starvation, poverty, etc) happened during Fidel's reign as well and is still going on in Cuba today. And yeah, while the cartels are terrible and commit many more crimes than drug trafficking like murder, kidnapping, etc, they're still immensely important in today's world and modern history so if there's a way to represent them reasonable in Civ, I don't see why not.

I'm not here to start a debate and I completely respect your opinion on both subjects as I can completely understand why you'd feel that way about having them in Civ, but I personally don't see why any significant organization, civ, or leader can't be added as a mod. It's just a firm opinion that I have so I tend to argue it whenever it comes up.

Seriously? There's no way that Fidel is in the top four. Ismail Enver Pasha, Leopold II, Kim Jong-Il, Hideki Tojo, Pol Pot and many more were far worse than Fidel ever was.

 

[Uighur_Caesar]

I specifically said in my opinion. I'm Cuban and as a Cuban I've felt and seen and personally known far more people that have been affected by Fidel than by Pol Pot or Gaddafi or whoever. As a result, I personally hate Fidel and his government more than the regime of those other people. Objectively Pol Pot is worse than Fidel, he killed more people, but more subjectively from my point of view, Fidel is worse. You could argue with me as much as you want, but my opinion will not change. Fidel and his regime have destroyed my country and it's peoples, not just political executions, like my grandmother's first husband who was executed by Che Guevara, but also the people who's lives are ruined by of the situation Fidel has created in Cuba over time. If it wasn't for the terrible poverty and scarcity of resources in Cuba my cousin wouldn't have been assaulted while walking to a birthday party at night by a man hiding in the bushes with a baseball bat and possibly have permanent brain damage now. If it wasn't for Cuba's policies and position during the Cold War, another cousin of mine wouldn't have been sent to Angola to fight alongside communist insurgents and lost an arm over there. There are far too many people in my family that have been impacted incredibly negatively by Fidel's regime for my opinion on him to be anything less than in the same class as Hitler, Stalin, and Mao and for my opinion on Communism to be anything other than it is the worst political and economic system man has ever created. My opinion on those two things will not change. Think what you want of me, I don't give a f*ck.

Anyway, let's stop derailing Scapegrace's thread.

 

[Hoop Thrower]

Yeah... that was really uncalled for. Particularly because this is Scapegrace´s thread and she's made it very clear before that she won't do designs for civs she has personal issues for.

So, leaving that behind, any comments on my take on your civs Scape, maybe?

 

[Scapegrace]

Yeah. I... I think they're okay? However, I think the Carretero in particular needs work.

---

UU: Carretero (replaces Worker)
Unlike the Worker it replaces, ignores all movement penalties and generates Culture when building or repairing Roads and Railroads. May be expended for a small Culture boost in Cities with a Museum.

---

Generating Culture from moving around seemed just a little OP, especially since you can have loads of them walking in a circle with no real impact on the game. Personally, I like my take better (big surprise), but your ideas do have a lot to recommend them. I also like the second half of your Nicaragua UA a lot. =]

 

[DonStamos]

I want to play that Rwanda SO BAD.

Golden Ages last 10% longer and increase the Culture and Production output of all Cities by a further 10% for each non-Occupied foreign Capital under the Empire's control.
UU: Ayrudzi (replaces Chariot Archer)
Unlocked somewhat later than the Chariot Archer it replaces (at Engineering), and commensurately more expensive (90 vs. 56 at Standard speed), the Ayrudzi nevertheless has much to recommend it. They are much stronger, having 11 CS and 14 Ranged CS, ignore Rough Terrain Penalties, have a base movement of 3 with the Mobility promotion (for a total of 4), can move after attacking, and start with Volley. This is a powerful ranged unit, designed to excel at taking down cities. Upgrades to Crossbowman.
UB: Philhelline Theatre (replaces Colosseum)
Standard Colosseum benefits. Additionally, generates +20% Gold and +1 Golden Age point per turn when the City is sending an International Trade Route and contains a slot for a Great Work of Writing.

More expensive than the Swordsman, but starts with Cover I and March, as well as the additional unique promotion "Thureos", granting a +33% Combat Bonus while defending against Melee attack. Upgrades as normal. Requires Iron.
UB: Phroyrion (replaces Market)
Standard Market benefits. Additionally, generates +1 Gold and +5% Military Unit Production bonus for each different Major Civilization sending an International Trade Route to you. +3 CS and +25 City HP.

Each Courthouse in the Empire adds an additional +2 to all the yields of the Palace. Begin with a unique World Wonder in the Capital that provides +4 Gold, +4 Happiness, and +1 Culture - a yield which increases by +1 each time you advance to a new Era.

UU: Sceptuchus (replaces Great General)

Spoiler The Hephthalites :

The Hephthalites (Mihirakula)

The Capital generates Great People +5% faster for each Asbarobido in enemy territory.
UU: Tokharoi (replaces Composite Bowman)
Though much more susceptible to melee attack than the Composite Bowman it replaces (with a Combat Strength of 5 rather than a still-pretty-rubbish 7), the Tokharoi is faster, with a base Movement of 3 and the ability to ignore Terrain Penalties for movement (retained upon upgrading). It also has Mobility and the unique promotion, "Wusun Vultures", that allows it to gain a temporary +3% Combat Bonus when attacking per point of yields of the tile it is stationed on when it pillages that tile's Improvement. The bonus is removed on the next turn. Requires Horses and counts as a Mounted Unit. Upgrades as normal. Wusun Vultures is retained upon upgrading.
===
How Wusun Vultures works:-
Your Tokharoi is stationed on a Flood Plains tile with Wheat. With a Farm and a Granary in range, that yields 5 Food. If you pillage the farm that turn, the Tokharoi gains a +15% Combat Bonus when attacking that turn.

Your Tokharoi is stationed on a Desert tile with only a Trading Post. Pillaging the Trading Post will only grant a +3% Combat Bonus.

Of course, it'd account for yields from buildings, religions, and the like.

Weaker than the Longswordsman it replaces (18 vs. 21), the Allagion is cheaper to build and may be bought with Gold at half the usual price.

Each bonus maxes out at 50%. Requires Horses instead of Iron.
