Hi guys.

Well, we have a new addition to the family - Alexander Michael arrived at 9:19 on Tuesday morning. He's a wonderful little guy, with an amazing mom and a great big brother.

I'm at home this week, but things are crazy as you might imagine. I'm dead tired most of the time but I'm going to try and update the 4.0 civs with the work I did just before leaving work last week.

Congratulations!!!!!

 

[Wyz_sub10]

Thanks. I managed to pick up BTS yesterday, so that should help.

Damn, I'm running on adrenaline here.

I don't have BtS, not yet at least. :S

well, the idea is very good. Practically everyone in Brazil loves soccer. This is an great idea for Brazil's unique building. I am just saying that practically every gringo (how we call the not-brazilians. mwahahaha.) thinks that here is just carnival, soccer, samba, Rio, plastic surgery and women in the beach. Well, anyways I have some another Ideas:

Fortaleza (replaces walls, more 1 happyness, can transform one citizen in enginner)
Police Station (replaces jail, -40% war wearinnes, more 1 health)
Park (replaces Courthouse, -50% city maintence, more 1 health and more 1 )
Quilombo (replaces something and makes something )

but in all the options I prefer the Soccer Stadium
but change the name from "Estadio de Futbol" for "Soccer Stadium" or "Estádio de Futebol"

Exactly, it's Portuguese, not Spanish. With some thinking we might come up with something more typically Brazilian though. The football stadiums in Brazil are for the most part in pretty bad shape. Not something to be too proud of.

How about a churrascaria or rodízio to replace the granary? Or maybe the UF (federal university) to replace the standard university?

Man, I'm getting tons of ideas for Curitiba now haha. Too bad Curitiba isn't representative for the entire country.

Btw, giving a police station as special building should actually damage the civ, if it is to reflect real life situations. Even in the wealthy south there is corruption.

Hey Wyz! I was lurking around today (first time in a long time) and I saw this post and just had to say... Congratulations! This is indeed a wonderful thing.
Cigars all around.

PS: I'm not officially "back" but was just lurking and had to say hello.

AMRA COME BACK!!!!!!

AMRA COME BACK!!!!!!

Thanks, that makes me smile. Believe me, I wish I had the time to get back into Civ4 modding (it's way more fun than real life) but things are still just too hectic for me to dive back in right now. I think when and if I get back to it, it will be in a limited capacity such as creating new Civs & Leaderheads - I always enjoyed that part the most. The Modpack was a lot of work and had developed a life of it's own after a while. I'm also waiting to see if there any further BTS patches coming down the pike, as I suspect there will be (I always hated having to update everything for each little patch).

Anyway, I'd like to take the opportunity to say thanks to you and everyone else for keeping some of my work (civs, 2nd UU's, etc) still alive by converting it to BTS. That is very nice and much appreciated.

PS: Sorry Wyz for briefly hijacking your thread.

Wyz, just saw your post and wanted to say Congrats on your new addition!! Watch out, they grow up so fast, mine just started 1st Grade this week, I can't believe it!

Cheers,

Argh the suspense is killing me!

Congrats as well Wyz_sub10!

 

[Wyz_sub10]

Thanks everyone!

Okay, an update: a lot of civs are complete and converted for BtS. What's taking so long with the new civs is the small piecemeal things like icons, etc. But they're getting done.

Tonight I'm going to upload a tonne of new material to the repository, and other members are working on bits and parts.

Hope it gets ready soon! I'm really growing impatient with the ache to get my hands on the latest addition ^^ Someone had a national mentality boost and got tired of playing as Vikings.

LOL!

Why dontcha play as the canucks eh!

 

[Maasu]

That is not the same I Want Finland! I want Finland! ^^ And a late congratulations to wyz!

 

[Hitti-Litti]

We have Finland!

 

[Maasu]

Darn, you'r right! We have Finland!

Seriously, I want to be able to play as Finland WITH all the additional civs in the Civ Gold Pack.

Secondly, is there any other mod than the Road to War Add-on Pack, that enables playing as Finland?

Thirdly, It would be nice to see U.K Kekkonen remodeled more precise to hes real looks. Also additional leader, C.G.E Mannerheim for example, would add a very nice touch to Finnish civilization, in the sense that he was the one that contributed so much for our freedom and would have achieved even more, if the government would have backed him with a "little" larger budget when aggression from Russia was quite obvious. I mean that statement purely in mind of the Winter war, not in the sense of Greater Finland, that nazis were trying to sell to us

That arouses one question to me; how well do people here know the history of Continuation War, as we called it, and its reasons? For it seems to be common miss understanding that Finland was an official ally of Nazis, when in fact Finland never agreed to be an ally.

This mod seems pretty impressive, but when's it going to be finished?
