Changed my flag for a better representation actually D:

 

[Robert Can't]

Requesting name change from the New Lunar Republic to New Lunar Raj (which conveniently has the same acronym!) and also supplying some exciting diplotext.

AI_DIPLOCOMMENT_GREETINGS
Greetings Once again [CT_NAME]. Hopefully we can work something out this time.

AI_DIPLOCOMMENT_DECLARE_WAR
[CT_EMPIRE] is nothing but another blight on this planet that I shall rain down meteors upon. You may consider this to be war.

AI_DIPLOCOMMENT_NO_VASSAL
This isn't working out anymore, the citizens of the Raj Will no longer be subservient to [CT_NAME].

AI_DIPLOCOMMENT_OFFER_VASSAL
[CT_NAME] as of late [OUR_EMPIRE] has found itself harried by the forces of evil and we feel it would be best if we could live under [CT_CIV_ADJ] protection.

AI_DIPLOCOMMENT_REFUSE_TO_TALK
[OUR_STATE_RELIGION] preaches that sometimes one must remain silent.

AI_DIPLOCOMMENT_PEACE
Let us hope that [CT_CIV_ADJ] and [OUR_CIV_ADJ] people can get along once again. I do ever so hope you abide by the terms of the treaty.

AI_DIPLOCOMMENT_NO_PEACE
What? are you trying to say you don't secretly have WMD capability? I'm not sure I can negotiate if you keep spouting lies like that.

AI_DIPLOCOMMENT_TRADING
You know Thorvald will want this written up in treaty language?

AI_DIPLOCOMMENT_ACCEPT
Now let me google "wording of diplomatic agreements"...

AI_DIPLOCOMMENT_REJECT
I've seen better worded treaties that still ended up backfiring. Absolutely not.

AI_DIPLOCOMMENT_GLAD
Well [CT_NAME], this is all going rather well.

AI_DIPLOCOMMENT_SORRY
[CT_NAME] I really did not realise how shortsighted you could be...

AI_DIPLOCOMMENT_TRY_THIS_DEAL
Oh, you think you can do better [CT_NAME]?

AI_DIPLOCOMMENT_OFFER_PEACE
I've got a treaty worded out just right, care to have a look at it?

AI_DIPLOCOMMENT_OFFER_CITY
Been a bit bogged down in real life, do you think you could take this off my hands?


More to come...

Also since my city list isn't long enough by the standards you asked for here's some more cities

Spoiler :

Walney
Kirkby Stephen
Kirkby Lonsdale
Lanchester

Also with getting rid of Terran I will be very sad to see the end of Christmas music in this mod. More leaders need their peace music to be Christmas carols.

Pity Me

Awwwww

 

[Robert Can't]

I know people that live there

Its quite far out so we all greatly pity them

 

[Thorvald of Lym]

Did you make any changes to my ai?

Also I don't really want to have both Terran Emperor and Terran Empress, it seem kinda pointless and I don't really want to have both a male and female leader, especially since they are both supposed to represent me i'd rather just have Empress.

Oh dang I forgot to disable Mengsk No AItweaks as far as I know, I meant to do on mor pass before released, but I got so excited that I could download the music again tht it slippe my mind.

Also with getting rid of Terran I will be very sad to see the end of Christmas music in this mod. More leaders need their peace music to be Christmas carols.

Well people can always hack around with the game files themselves...

 

[Civ'ed]

Having noticed I no longer have several peace muzak I am very sad

 

[NinjaCow64]

I played until 1300 AD in the mod as my nation, it was fun but there were a few bugs and unusual AI behaviours. I played with NinjaCow64, with 18 nations and with no advanced options on Noble difficulty.

1) I was unable to to build Giraffe Archers for some reason. I could only build chariots and they required horses.

2) Civ'ed instantly declared war on me after I refused him tribute. I assume this is his "special trait", so I can kind of forgive him for not being prepared to war me at all.

3) The AI seems awfully eager to "pile on". All of Thor, Omega, Mosher and CivGeneral decided to pile on when they had no land connection to me (it was Pangea so it would have been hard for them to come via the sea also). Omega and Thor were the worst offenders as they didn't even send armies to attack me before I peaced out, at least Mosher and CivGeneral *tried*. Assad also declared war on me but he was a neighbour and he was actually prepared to take my not-very-well-defended cities so that wasn't too bad.

4) CivGeneral's tactical AI seems a bit off, he was a bit eager to send his units on suicide runs.

Anyway, later today I'll probably request some alterations to my nation and do stuff like advanced diplotext after I poke around in the files a bit.

 

[Angst]

I wanna make a self insert here too, even if I'm not that memetic. :3

 

[Thorvald of Lym]

Now that several other obligations are behind me, I'm once again looking to chip away at a new update. There's still no clear consensus on where people want to take religions, and all the critical things on my to-do list are code Nuka, complete the graphics changes for Corporations, and assemble one or two new unit flavour packs. In order to flesh out the next patch, I want to know what other IOTers who aren't yet in the mod and/or may not ever submit an application, you want to see in the mod.

Aside from Angst, who needs to fill out the form.

RE: NC:

1. Residual error from the Giraffe Archer's switch from horse archer to chariot UU; go to CivilizationInfos and change UNITCLASS as appropriate.
2. You've never faced Sitting Bull before, have you?
3. General aggressiveness was upped for most leaders, and it's no coincidence those in particular were giving you trouble...
4. Again, no accident; he's Tier 3 out of 4 in "How much do I bet I'll clinch that lucky strike?"

Having noticed I no longer have several peace muzak I am very sad

> obligatory "Didja get the SVN?"

 

[Angst]

I think the major reasons I didn't fill out forms was due to me not having provided anything real of substance to IOT. If you think I'm good enough I'll provide a form filling

 

[NinjaCow64]

Ah shoot, I still haven't gotten my updated forms in. Not sure I'll be able to get them in before the update but I'll jolly well try.

 

[NinjaCow64]

What happens if we vote "yes"?

EDIT: Also AA you silly wrong thread.

 

[Double A]

You acknowledge that you are a smartass.

 

[Ailedhoo]

All in all I think we should have modern age elephants in the mod...

 

[Omega124]

I just noticed my favorite civic in the mod is Free Speech. Which is fine. But I'm thinking, wouldn't State Property be a more accurate favorite civic for me at this point?

 

[Terran Empress]

honestly I'd like to see an overhaul of civics like a few other mods do, but I should check on the civics too for me

 

[Ailedhoo]

We should do a review.

Then we can do a update.

Then we can do a grand game together!

At the rate some people keep revising their stats, this mod will probably end up overhauled every year or so.

Active development means active community

I reposted this because I think that is just easier because I'm changing/addin a fair bit.

Angry: [CT_NAME], why are you a bigoted meanie who invades people, uses bad electoral systems and doesn’t like memes? If you keep that up I might have to liberate [CT_CIV_SHORT] by blowing it up.

AI_DIPLOCOMMENT_OFFER_DEAL*
Happy: Hello [CT_NAME]! Would you be interested in a trade?
Angry: Let’s put aside our differences and make a deal. If either of us could get what we want elsewhere I wouldn’t be here, trust me.

AI_DIPLOCOMMENT_CANCEL_DEAL*
Happy: I am sorry [CT_NAME], but circumstances outside of our control mean that cannot continue participating in this agreement any longer. Please accept our sincerest apologies.

Stronger or Equal: Look, I usually wouldn’t threaten you but we *really* need this and you aren’t in a position to refuse.

AI_DIPLOCOMMENT_DEMAND_REJECTED*
Stronger or Equal: If you won’t give it to us, then we’re probably going to have to take it. I hope you considered that when you rejected our offer.
Weaker: Eh, it was worth a shot. No hard feelings?

AI_DIPLOCOMMENT_RELIGION_PRESSURE*
