Attention we need modders.
Well, basically I was looking around the forums tonight, and I found Apocalypse New York Civ III Scenario. Being from New York, I looked over the city list and saw all the neighborhoods and names I'm familiar with. It actually inspired me to make a mod about New York, but in Civ IV, and instead of being about an Apocalypse, make it about history.
This mod is not based on the movie, get over it.
Also this mod will be based on the 1900 immigration boom, to the 1950's/60's
A little background to this mod:
In the early 1900's the second wave of immigration hit the United States. These new immigrants were mostly Italian, Irish and Jewish. Many of these immigrants were told outrageous things about America, like the streets were paved with gold, but when they arrived they were greatly mistaken. This new immigration wave all arrived in Ellis Island, in New York. Since these immigrants were poor and had no money, they concentrated themselves in New York City. Many neighborhoods formed, as generally Irish, generally Italian, or generally Jewish.
The Italians became the most distinct however. They saw the problems of the city, and twisted it to their advantage. They started their own mafia, modeled from the Sicilian mafia back at home. After only a decade, five "families" broke out, competing for un-official control of New York. The rest, is history.
About this mod:
In this mod, you will play as a leader of one of the gangs (families.) You will start out in 1912 controlling a neighborhood or two in New York. With the help of your trusty soldati and intelligent capos, you will take control of surrounding neighborhoods. However, just enough, is never enough. You will soon find yourself competing for the rest of New York (and a small part of sub-urban New Jersey) with the other families and may have to "hit the mattress'" every now and then. (More to come.)
Please Note: I live in New York, and have an exceptional understanding of the mafia. Game concepts are easy to come by.
