I think a general link to the subforum is missing .

Nice. Too bad works getting in the way. But WTH, DL'ing anyways, who needs sleep?

 

[keldath]

your doing a great job man.

keep it up

 

[dacubz145]

Thanks, three 30 years wars (1618, 1630, 1635) scenarios will be next, based on the 1600 one, but I need to focus on my other mods, and get those updates out first

I made new diplomacy music for the Zapotecs which you can use in your mod if your interested. its attached to this post.

 

[dacubz145]

Personally I don't add diplomusic to my mod as, if I did, my mod would triple in size easily. I personally play civ with my computer muted anyway

How does this button and flag look for the Tarascans? It is an Mesoamerican pyramid with sunlike beams coming out of it
If you prefer a different one no problem, I don't mind making another one as I will keep this one, add it to my list and when I get a bunch I just release them on here as a group

Tell me if the flag doesn't work correctly, been a while since I made one

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

My failure at getting my own mod to play the new soundtrack has caused me to listen to custom music now...I have a track for each culture, with each era for each culture, and one thing I hated was each new civ not having its own diplomusic, they don't feel complete or as immersive without it. Anyway enough of my rambling lol

They flag works, and it looks pretty darn good too. Only thing I'd change is the color on the button, from yellow to metallic gold, but its not really a must it does look great as is.

What do you think? Is it good as is? Should I add it to the Tarascan module and then upload? Up to you my friend.

 

[dacubz145]

send me a link to a pictures of the color you want and I will change it, is black your secondary color? if not link again please

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Also I'm pretty much done converting Cybrkhan's old civ of the week, the Mississippians into a modular civ if your interested. One thing I've always hated with a passion was how firaxis combined all native civilizations into a monolithic, stereotypical "native american" civ.

I am to fix that lol

 

[dacubz145]

ive actually wanted to add missisipians to the mod for a while but havent cause it isnt modular (now just the taino )

ill upload a new button sometime tonight

also i will create a new button for missippi as i dont like the waving flag look of civ of the weeks buttons (only thing i dont like really) if you want to use it as well

 

[dacubz145]

Here ya go, personally the colors don't look good IMO. For civ colors you want to get one dark and one light one typically (unless one of your colors is white/black, or the colors are contrasting) and the two colors you picked are both about the same

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

I totally agree about the current Mississipian flag/button. I think their symbol would be a bird, maybe in a similiar style to one tribe of their descendants, the Cherokee. They were a very influencial empire and culture for like five hundred years after all lol.

I'm going to upload the Tarascans in a few minutes...

 

[dacubz145]

Excited to see the Tarascans

mmm can you send me a url of something close to what you have in mind for the button (just an image of the bird) and i will see what I can come up with

EDIT: Also the color scheme

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Tarascans are up. Now they are around to remind everyone that the Aztecs weren't the only empire in Mexico lol

Anyways, maybe something like this would work for the Mississippians:

The bird symbol used by the Mississpians and Cherokee and other North American tribes in the region was supposed to be the legendary Thunderbird. Interesting no?
