    • Nerf UK, Portugal, Norse, Burma
    • Buff Germany, France, Iran, America, Russia, Sweden
  • Give America more advanced start points.

Just get UHV victory as Qin, the Yellow Turban Rebillion is a good feature, and the simulation of three kingdoms of Wei Shu and Wu is also great.
Generally speaking it's not hard to get UHV victory as Qin, this time I finished it in 8th century. If calculate more comprehensively, I think it's possible to finish it before Yellow Turban Rebillion. So maybe the initial units could be decrease, or the UHV could be harder to finish.
Also a suggestion about "Your Place in Histiory", would it possible to make Mao Zedong's place more forward? In China his historical status is very high, the same with Tang Taizong, Qin Shihuang, or even higher than them.

Thanks for sharing your playthrough! The amount of starting units is likely excessive for a player as opposed to an AI. I still need to balance out those numbers for the player and do a proper UHV playthrough for each civ.
 
New Patch
  • Add Nigeria civ
    • Hummay leader
    • horseman UU with1 first strike, bonus against spearman (that specific unit class), disengage 1, desert adaptation
    • post office UB: Ribat: merchant and priest slots, bonus culture, income. Available at currency tech.
    • UP is 25% enslavement chance on any victory (50% enslavement of native units as usual though).
    • UHV:
      • TradeRouteCount(6, by=1300),
      • BuildingCount(iWalls, 4, by=1450)
      • SlaveTradeGold(1200, by=1900)

    • Intensify Songhai native spawns.
  • Modify Edo (Benin) city location and spawn date.

  • Disable old, unused, crusade events.
  • Give AI France a few extra units on spawn.
    • Human & AI get 1 more axeman
  • Reduce spawn of a few Migration Age barbarians by a few years.

Zulu is next. As I said above, I need to do a few playthroughs as civs in the area of China to better balance them for the human player. Besides Zulu I don't foresee any civ additions at least until I do more balancing and polish the existing civs I've added. I also need to play through the Khazars and give that civ some love.
 
Any chance of adding some Celtic leaders? Leoreth has mentioned adding Brian Boru before though I don't think has got around to it. There's a leaderhead here: Boru leaderead
Cinaed mac Ailpin was the first king of Scotland in the 800s which could be another option
There's also a Mchael Collins leaderhead for the modern era.

Some I've seen
Robert the Bruce leaderhead, : History Rewritten has a Cínaed mac Ailpín (Kenneth MacAlpin) leaderhead too, as well as Vercingetorix

Michael Collins

I've noticed a few mods that remove Brennus entirely from the Celts and replace him with Vercingetorix, and use the Brennus LH for a different civ
 
New Patch
  • Add Zulu civ
  • Vanilla civ UB, UU, leader (Shaka). UP is 25% chance to capture a unit as the same type upon victory.
  • Respawns in the whole South African (and Zimbabwe) area.
  • Add African tech group, put non-Arab/Berber African civs in it.
  • Fix error in 1700 start related to Mughals being turned into Timurids.
  • Move an aluminium resource in South Africa to make room for the Zulu capital.
 
Can we please come up with some standardized logic in awarding every later days civ some starting advanced start gold? Say, make it a function of the game's turn or something like that. Starting gold is an extremely fun and fair way to offset the variability of late starts, an ability to hit the ground running and somewhat boosting the new arrivals. It gives human player ability to try different strategies and do not reload constantly in hopes to get the best possible start. Nigeria deserves something like 200 start gold on Epic, me feels.. Now she gets none, while others get some. No consistency!...

Starting gold is not directly proportional to spawn date. Nigeria can easily get hundreds and even thousands of gold from selling slaves which are very easily obtained via the UP or just attacking Natives. Nigeria also has very little upkeep costs because it does not start with a large army or large number of cities.
 
Well, I meant a different, "advanced start" gold, which is largely for the buildings and infrastructure, but of course I agree that different civs need different boost. Sorry, I didn't make it clear. All I am saying, the "advanced start gold" feature is there, it just feels consistent when during the turn two human player must make some limited "set up" decisions.

Anyways, happy New Year 🕛 🎊!

Nigeria has no advanced start points on purpose, because even by the start date I used the region was not highly developed. Advanced start points are for civs whose area is expected to be developed by the time they become "active", or civs that cover a wider area and need more road infrastructure ASAP, like the Romans, Wu, HRE, Arabia or colonial civs like America or Mexico.
 
Yes to all .
