The Offical IOT Mod Brainstorming and Organisation Thread

[Civ'ed]

Hey if Egypt's tombs give conquerors bonuses...
As for the not-bazaar, a ghostgate should be easy to make, using simple arcology graphics you're a decent amount of the way there.
The ghostgate could offer less protection, but give culture.

 

[Double A]

Ghostgate would be a wonder.

 

[Civ'ed]

It's been a month, any news?

 

[Ailedhoo]

When the time comes we could play with technologies, especially to reflect the... bizarre nature of IOTs.

 

[Civ'ed]

If I can commission a new civ, New Rhodesia pls

 

[Ailedhoo]

If new civs are to come: SUDS!

 

[Thorvald of Lym]

Everyone heckle TK for a portrait pic because by God we need him in this and I will not tolerate half-assed stand-ins.

I'unno about Reus, but I haven't had time to work on anything. Hell, I haven't had time to complete the latest playtest.

 

[Tee Kay]

I authorise Thorvald to make something up.

I don't have time to follow this even if I want to.

 

[Ailedhoo]

I say we give Tails phi/ind

 

[Terran Empress]

If we are requesting civs from previous and ongoing IOT's I request that The Republic of Greater Australia and New Zealand be added.

 

[NinjaCow64]

If we're adding that Australia then we should also add the glorious Democratic People's Republic of Australia.

 

[Thorvald of Lym]

I have two main criteria for game-specific countries: They have to be notable either within the game or within IOT lore, and they need a recognizable leader. So as much as I'd love to add Rhodesia, we a) know zilch about its leadership and b) have no portrait outside a stand-in, and I'm not keen on those.

That said, at the risk of starting a dibs war, if you find a worthy leaderhead in the downloads database I will use it. With that in mind, I call these.

 

[Terran Empress]

I have two main criteria for game-specific countries: They have to be notable either within the game or within IOT lore, and they need a recognizable leader.

So besides the lack of pictures for the Leaders of Greater Australia, I can still do it right.

Since we have currently 2 possible leaders for Greater Australia, PM David Walker and GG Peter Anderson

This is the closest I can think for my image of Peter Anderson but I would like this background if possible.

 

[Ailedhoo]

I will do a sign up for the SUDS later on, including figure heads.

 

[Thorvald of Lym]

so i herd reus is work

Just so y'all know a new revision's still in the works, here's a list of the changes planned for Revision 7-8:

• Sexy new terrain graphics
• New unit category for Covert Ops with unique promotion
• Expanded naval line between tall ships and WWII-era
• UU rebalances and UB revisions
• Triforce World Project, requires Military and Science Academy

Stuph that may or may not get in next revision:

• taillesskangaru's faction
• Two new character factions and revision of Eastern Union's UU
• Custom popup faction defeat messages

Stuph dependent on Reus

• Indonesian voicepack
• IOT XIV-inspired scenario

IOT XIV-inspired scenario

You'd basiclly need to make entirely new factions to represent every nation in the game, not to mention the reworked religions/corporations make no sense in the XIV world. This would be better off being a completely unique mod.

Also reiterating my disdain of character factions or really any factions besides the one each user was supposed to get.

 

[Thorvald of Lym]

Almost ready for new patch; tragically, the Python tweaks I'd planned are running into problems with BUG and the dev team's troubleshooting guide is completely inaccessible. Also, turns out World Projects don't work the way I thought.

I do have basic code laid out for tailless' faction; the Uniques are all Firaxis material at the moment. I have a bunch of new units that may end up reorganizing the tech tree to balance properly, but I still feel that this could use a bit more punch.

So, who wants Cossacks what player(s) not yet covered are people anxious to see?

 

[Ailedhoo]

Jeho might be a good consideration to be in the mod.

 

[Kinich-Ahau]

I've been putting this off for some time, but I wouldn't mind being included myself.

 

[Thorvald of Lym]

Milord.

P.S. Do us a favour, Ailed, and update the OP.
