Suggestions for civs

[L. Lawliet]

Hello

I don't know if I can post here my suggestions, but I have some ideas and want to give you people these things.

1.Asian civs
I don't know if you have Korea in the game - as long as I never could made to play it, cos of my laking computer -. If you don't have, I suggest you to include it.
-if you need historical materials, I'll give you all you need.
-maybe because I'm Korean, and many Korean players want to see them lol

2.The rebel named for Asian civs
I think it would be stupid to have Holly smth. Empire in Asia, cos Asian countries mostly just changed over and gave them new names.
For example, China had the Empire as the ruling family of the entire China, and had dynasties as real ruler for the countries they own - kind of warlord system. All of them had different ways and so on.
And when the Empire is in reality no more powerful, these ones come to rebel and become a empire themselves.
Also, to them, religion was not a important fact - meaning, religion was not as important as in Europe and middle east once had been -. To them, ones defined as religion of Asia(Taoism, Confucianism) was just a kind of way to live and rule. ex) Confucianism had been ruling material for Qin dynasty, implemented by Qin Shi Huang.
So, Holly stuffs are stupid for Asian civ. Also other European civic rebel names don't fit Asian.
-maybe it will be before 'modern age', or for the whole game.
-If you approve my idea, I'll make more specific suggestions.



-IF you approve my idea, I'll give you more specific suggestions for each of them

Korea is included in Civ 4 Warlords, which is part of the latest expansion pack Beyond the Sword, which is what this mod is made for, therefore Korea is already in the mod since it's a part of the base game.

Currently the dynamic civ names make any civ with a Theocracy a "holy kingdom." You're right that most Asian countries were never Theocracies (at least as far as I know), but that's more of a problem with the base game than this mod. Civ has always been more of a "what if..." series anyway. And it's true that Taoism and Confucianism are more like ways of life than religions, but again, that's a problem with Civ. But from a gameplay perspective, it works fine. So I think your problem here is not specifically with the mod, but rather the way the game is set up.

If you have ideas for different names that could be used for Asian civs, I'd love to hear them! Adding more flavor to civ names is always fun.

Bob however is right that some of the features you bring up are inherent to the game as a whole, any civ can found or follow any religion, a Buddhist theocracy doesn't make sense, etc.

There isn't any need to include any civs to this mod however. Modules work just fine with it, if modular loading is activated.

Yes, it used to be official state doctrine that the imperial family were direct descendants of Amaterasu, the Shinto sun goddess. They stopped saying that after WWII, though.
