Greetings fellow Civfanatics,
It has been 9 months since I have created this Turkish MOD which was the first mod ever to be created for Civilization IV and tens of thousands of fans have downloaded my Mod from this thread, more have accessed it through other inclusive mods which Turkish MOD was a part of and it has also been offered in a bonus CD which came with a PC Games magazine. Turkish MOD has since been an example to set the standard and an inspiration for other modders to create their own nation-mods. There has been numerous new releases and with every new mod created by various modders the overall quality and the playability of the game improved.
All this time, I have tried to update the mod every now and then to match the latest versions, made additions and improvements and provided support through e-mails and private messages.
I am happy to see that most of you have enjoyed playing it, and thank you very much for all of you who have provided feedback which helped me improve the mod further.
This week, Firaxis has finally released their latest expansion pack "Warlords" which includes the Ottomans, which is basicly the name of the Turkish Empire between 1299 and 1922, thus the Turks are now officially IN. This is the dream of every modder coming true with their nation released as an official expansion receiving full Firaxis support and 3-D leaderheads, original Janissary units and furthermore a unique Turkish building; Hammam which replaces aquaduct and gives +2 happiness.
I encourage everyone to check the Turks out at the "Warlords" and enjoy the new civs and features, while I will still keep providing support for the Turkish MOD here for those who enjoy some of the other features, units, sounds, graphics and leaders. Thanks to everyone here once again for encouraging me to go through all the hard work and sleepless nights, and let me tell you one thing; 'It was well worth it, and I enjoyed creating this mod as much as playing it'.
