The American Continent Mod (ACM)

[Corvex]

For a Cherokee unique unit, I think I saw a documentary once about escaped black slaves actually joining up with their tribe and fighting for them. Or am I thinking of the Seminoles ? Could someone confirm or deny this?

I have no ideas for the Navajo (Navaho? Navaxo? Whatever. You know who I mean. )

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

The Navaho have a mounted unit as a UU I believe.

 

[jorde]

When I get home I'm probably going to "order" the first era tech tree. Thats not going to be easy.

If you still dont know how to remake all the different arrows in the tech tree, you can just put some order to the icons and I'd be able to make the new arrows...

 

[CivArmy s. 1994]

The two Navaho (Navajo) UU: Monted Club Man (would replace Horseman, I don't know) and Navajo Javelineer (could replace Spearman)
For Cherokee they are Brave (could replace Swordsman) and Light Cavalry (could replace any mounted unit).

BTW, I PM Mobilize days ago asking for the Native names of some of the NA units, but he didn't awnser me yet. If anyone know these names or a site where I can find, it'd be great

 

[CivArmy s. 1994]

I almost gonna crazy, but I did that: I have balanced all the units and the UUs. No unit is replaced per two different civis

enjoy!!!

------------------------

BTW: Let's post all the links here of the used units in this mod, so, i can install these units.

I apreciate that very much Jorde. Thing is, I only have one day left with my shareware version of Paintshop Pro, after that, I will no longer be able to do anything once again.... Tjedge mentioned another program earlier called Gimp I believe though...

Fantastic work btw Civ....That will be a tremendious help when I add the units and everything to the game.

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Well, heres the Stone Age and Bronze Age(Era One) Tech Tree, ordered(as best I could do) but without arrows(well, with them but not in the right places)

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Heres the final version of the unit chart Civarmy made:

 

[Corvex]

Looks good.

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Thankyou Corvex I appreciate that

BTW....I need opinions, should Ball Court by a improvement in the mod and should the Rubber resource become availible with Ball Games? Don't worry, I'll be using the Mesoamerican Conquest's resource icon, not the epic game's.

 

[jorde]

Why not... it wouldnt be really bad... Then its graphics (Ball Court) could switch to a modern stadium or something...

And BTW, if you put Rubber as an early resource, you probably should put another like Vulcanized Rubber or something, using the icon of the normal game, and being a requisite for Modern units

 

[Corvex]

Why would there need to be two separate resources? The only reason that rubber doesn't show-up earlier in the epic game is because it is Eurocentric.
We should have one rubber resource. I'm not sure what the disappearance probability of rubber is, but it should be set to zero in this mod (so that its not entirely used-up by the time you can build infantry)

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

I agree. My Paintship Pro just expired for me. I hope Photoshop works....

I think I'm going to put Ball Court in, with Rubber as an Ancient resourch. I'll be using the Mesoamerican Conquest's version of the icon.

For the Second Era(Which I just completed yesterday), I have Slave Plantation an "Improvement" which becomes availible with The Plantation Tech

I also added some Wonders to the second era, Mines of Potosi(Becomes availible with Slavery.( I know slavery existed before that amonst the Native Nations, but I thought the Colonial era Slavery was better represented as a tech.)

Also, I added Matrix of Conganas(spelling?) one of Civarmy's wonders, and Horse of the Arts with the Drama tech.

Bank, Smith's Trading Company, Cathedral remain in the mod, Cathedral being moved to a new tech, Christianity.

The units have all been placed, the Naval and Cavalry lines are pretty complex in the second era. I cannot post another preview because my upload quota has been reached. I will be cleaning it out soon.

 

[CivArmy s. 1994]

The name is Matriz de Congonhas (in Portuguese is better, it is Congonhas Churchil, Congonhas Matrix or Congonhas Main Churchill).
First we have to decice what great/small wonders we will use, them, we choice the icons. And also choice them powers.

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

I've already added some wonders actually

Stone Age-None(But I would like to add some sort of wonder, like the Haida Totem City with Woodworking, and some sort of Cave Wonder availible with the Cave Painting Tech)

I would recommend another great modern wonder: the DEW Line, which was a system of radar and missile instalations in far northern Canada \ Alaska during the cold war. It could put a SAM missile battery in every city on the same continent. For a small wonder, you might consider Transcontinental Railroad (of the like that was built in the United States and Canada in the 19th century)

Maybe the wonder could call "Great System of Missile", to represent the Canadian and American one, instead Projeto Sinvan. This railroad could be a good small unit too. BTW, do u suggest more Canadians ou Native Americans from Canada wonders???

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

More Northern Native Wonders would be nice, I only know of a few

-Temple Mounds of the Mississipi
-Totem City of the Haida
-Statue of Crazyhorse(Large, mount rushmore-size statue being built in the Midwest to honor Chief Crazy Horse of the Sioux

 

[Corvex]

Other Canadian / Northern Native wonders you might consider:
-The Vinland Saga (which is the Viking voyage to Newfoundland around AD 1000, the first European contact with the Americas)
-Conferation Bridge (the world's longest bridge between Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island)
