Status and "To Do" List

[Wyz_sub10]

Hi guys,

Pardon my absence. Life is very busy right now and I haven't heard from Fierabras in a while, so I suspect he's quite busy as well.

Madman, I like a lot of your ideas. I'll comment on them separately when I get a moment, but I think we can work something out here.

JEELEN, the Nazca will be in 5.0. The Mapuche were going to be in as well, but I decided to cut them because of resources. Maybe we can squeak them in still. Remember, though, that in addition to the Inca, Gold also has the Yanomami and Tupi from South America.

 

[Agent327]

Cool! (Forgot about the Yanomami, sorry.) And take your time.

 

[MadmanOfALeader]

Are there going to be new leaders in for existing Civs?

Say, Ahmadinejad and Khomeini for Persia?

 

[Arwon]

Is there any reason why Charles V can't be a Spanish leader as well as Holy Rome?

 

[Agent327]

That's a good question actually.

As for the Native American issues:

I think the "Dinnehih" Empire should be split into the Apache Empire (with Mangas Coloradas and Geronimo as leaders) and the Navajo Empire (with Narbona as a leader.)

I think we'd have to find an UU and a UB for Apache, though.

A UU for the Apache could be the Dog Travois. Basically, a settler with added movement (considering the Nomadic Nature.). However I'm only suggesting this because there's really nothing out there I can think of for a unique Apache Warrior, which would be more fitting. Yet, considering there is no Unique Settler...

I'd also reccommend looking for someone to lead the Inuit civ... Marten Jumping isn't Inuit enough.

Maybe Paul Okalik, Premier of Nunavut?

Get rid of Deganawida, and instead use the LH for Ostenaco (Ekmek has an improved version). Add him along with Oconostota to a new Cherokee civ. We could probably put Osceola into a Seminole Civ.

I support a Seminole Civ. I think any Native American nation to go into a Specific war with the US should have it's own civilization, and not just be lumped in with others.

With Agueybana out there, somebody should make a Taino Empire. The UB could be the Batey. I need to find a good UU. (I should know this. I'm Puerto Rican.) Not exactly Native Americans, but still...

Colonization sure is great help.

I have an idea for a UU.

Blowgunner (Replaces Longbowman)
Strength 5
Movement 2
Build Cost: 40 Hammers
----------------------
They're a few ideas. Maybe I could make some Nations, I'm a bit new to making anything in Civ4, but, I've always wanted to try. As for other ideas, I suggested on an Earlier Page for Prester John as a new Ethiopian Leader. Despite being a myth, the man has quite a legacy around him.

 

[MadmanOfALeader]

The Blowgunner wouldn't be a good idea for the Taínos... we have no poisonous frogs in Puerto Rico, just noisy coquis.

What about a dugout canoe instead?

Dugout Canoe, sounds cool, I don't know wether it would replace the Work Boat or Galley, but I'm leanining twards Work Boat. Basically, an even Cheaper Workboat is all it would be.

 

[purplexus]

Colonization Leaderheads are the exact same Leaderhead format as BTS. Tne opposite has been done in creating Leaderheads for Colonization.

It's a straight Transfer with no editing of the files.

After all they do use the Exact same Game Engine.

 

[Kristaps513]

You can add Latvia to this mod.

 

[Krug]

Well, I'm making a Seminole Tribe for Civ Gold right now, but I need a bit of help. Because the Seminole are a single tribe and not a Grouping of Tribes, I don't know what to Name the cities. I don't want to just call all the cities "Tribe" or "Seminole", so, any sugesstions?

[Krug]

Wow, Thanks!

I'll probably finish the XML files today, but the hard part will be Skinning the UU and UB, and I don't know when I'll get that done, either way, I expect my Seminole civ to be on the forums between Thursday and Next Monday.

 

[Agent327]

You're welcome - hope you can make it!

 

[Wyz_sub10]

Is there any reason why Charles V can't be a Spanish leader as well as Holy Rome?

I believe he is available as both. If not, we'll make that change.

 

[Wyz_sub10]

MadmanOfALeader,

Both being added to the Nature of Man pack.


Kristaps513,

You can add Latvia to this mod.

I will look at it, for sure. Suppose I'd have to add Estonia too, now!


Krug,

That sounds awesome. The Aniyonega leader Osceola is Seminole, FYI.

 

[MadmanOfALeader]

I got an idea for a Taíno unit... the Nitaíno. Basically it would be an axeman that doesn't need bronze.

Taíno weapons include a hatchet, so it goes well.

 

[Krug]

He isn't, the only Gold Spanish leaders are Franco and Isabella.

Krug,

I got a couple of new games, so Ive been delayed with this from playing those. Still, I'm having some road blocks, like How I've finished scripting, but the Seminole Nation won't appear when I load the mod, or how I can't seem to find a good guide on Re Skinning UUs and UBs.

 

[Methyl Orange]

Are you going to include my Carantania civ (I have link in my sig)?

 

[Wyz_sub10]

Hey Methyl,

Considering I'm months behind as it is, I may not be able to add it but I promise I will take a look at it before deciding. I just have had zero, zero, zero time lately to do this...but I will.
