THE Civ of the Week Thread!

[AbsintheRed]

Really???

Actually it's been a really long time, and I sort of put the whole Civ of a Week franchise on hold, partly because I can't find the time to make really good unique leaderheads. I was originally working on a Bavaria CotW to get things out of the way, but... Yeah.

I'll try to look into it again, since the Civs of the Weeks aren't that difficult to do - it was really just the leaderhead that was the time-consuming part.

Yep, I thought you got enough of LH making.
I only tried to play with blender for a few hours, it was more than enough for me

IIRC there were the Mamluks, Mughals, maybe 1-2 more you said will do soon.
The only LH you said will finish soon was Abaoji for the Khitans
Will check the civs right away

EDIT: These were the latest suggestions (apart from Srivijaya and Bavaria):
redo Mughals + update LHs: Ekmek's Akbar, Capo wanted to make Babur for them (though he may changed his mind since then)
remake Khitans + new LHs: your Abaoji would go here, and I think Den's Kuchlug Khan was also pretty good
Mamluks with veBear's Baibars
Maybe a separate Moorish CotW

Alright, thanks so much for doing the work of compiling everything that I could have done myself.

I got a new computer since then, and I guess making a civ or two is a good way to give the new computer a good introduction to the world of civ4 modding.

Hey, you asked for it

Cool

How would I go about adding these to my copy of CivGold?

 

[Huayna Capac357]

Could you add some previews please?

 

[cybrxkhan]

@Huayna Capac: We're basically doing the Mamluks. I should be finished with it within two-three days at the latest.

@veBear: No problem, backgrounds are pretty easy anyways. I've also changed a couple of the values for Baibars' LH personality, if you don't mind.

 

[cybrxkhan]

Alright, finally done with the Mamluks. Big credit to veBear who worked on this with me, particularly since he did the Leaderheads, and I didn't need to. Next is Bavaria to fulfill a request made long, long, long ago.

Anyhow, you can check out the first post of this thread (finally we get something new) or the downloads section of CFC. Without further ado, veBear and I both proudly present...

The MAMLUKS

 

[Huayna Capac357]

I'll definitely download this

 

[cybrxkhan]

^Yeah, no problem. Maybe can you add a Middle-Eastern-esque mustache or beard or something on him too?

cybrxkhan after you make Bavaria could you make the Vandals? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vandals
Leader could be Geiseric http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genseric

I cannot guarantee that I'll make them anywhere within the near or even distant future, but it certainly seems like a good civ to do, and I'll add them to my potential to-do list.

 

[cybrxkhan]

One problem with Vandals though... their Capital was Carthage, and we alreadye have a civ with that city as Capital, and a Carthaginian Empire without Carthage as a city is kind of ridicilous

Well, sort of like the Istanbul and Constantinople thing, isn't it? Guess it'll just have to be handwaved, eh?

Anyhow... I have finished another Civ of the Week. This was requested long ago, and I hope it might still be of use. Presenting:

BAVARIA

​

Next is Burma.

there are several mods with Italy where the capital is Roma instead of Rome
for the Vandals it could be Carthago instead of Carthage

Going alphabetical ?

funny I dont remember working on this LH. Maybe I just helped with fixes.

And when will you work on your WIP LHs?
Or still don't have time for modding?

I really want to but RL doesnt give me a big enough block of time to do it.

Apparently he credited you as a co-author in the downloads database, so... yeah.

Oh well. We all have to deal with that one way or another, no?

How do I install these? They don't seem too be modular.

Simply extract the zip file into your mods folder.
