Decided that I could add Vandals, but only in their 410 post-Migration variant, where they start around the Straight of Gibraltar. It's a very different Vandals from the one in Aeons, but it shares a leaderhead and some other features. They were a good candidate because the Maghreb has an opening between 400 and 600.
- On further reflection I may spin off the Almoravids into their own civ, becoming Morocco and having a presence in Spain to destabilize Al-Andalus, rather than have Morocco be a respawn civ.
- Scots-Irish is still on the table, probably the next now that I'm done with the Vandals.
- After that... maybe Yemen and Oman. Yemen would be Saba -> Himyar -> Yemen, and so have a long history, whereas Oman has the colonial empire. I also have to make sure the Saudi Arabia period of Arabia is working correctly.
- Then... Australia? I've been wanting to get around to it, it's just so late-game that it's been low on my radar.
- New civ: Vandals
- Begins in southern Spain with core in Africa (Carthage), in 410 AD.
- UP: free pirate unit on city conquest
- UUs: Savaran (Alans), Vandal Pirate (war galley)
- UB: Shipyard (harbor)
- UHVs: relating to piracy, raiding and making Carthage a top city
- Fatimids and Tunis won't spawn if Vandals hold Carthage.
- Tuscan Republic name for Italy activates whether the city is named Fiorenza or Firenze
- Every 3rd land unit in ship spawned from "assault sea" role will be a siege unit (this used to be unique to Norman England but is now generalized)
- Modify special flip code for England-as-Normandy (also applies to Vandals)
- Slight buff to (Western) Huns
- City dynamic names in Mauretania
- Remove Marrakesh from Phoenician settler map. Other tweaks to settlement priority.
- Tweak "foundation of Carthage" event.
- Barbarian Marrakesh spawn in 1070 if not already founded.
- Tweak Frankish starting units.
- Nerf Roman modifiers.
- Better Spain Visigothic dynamic naming.
- Give Arabia some naval units on spawn (escort, ferry).
