Units?

[Pariah]

The thing about those UBs (which are good ideas) is that they take into account and replace Vanilla Buildings... we are going to compleltly change the buildings.

I assumed you would simply rename and the standard Vanilla/BTS buildings, and give them new graphics... Which ones are you doing away with? All the industrial & modern ones?

I should have said "replaces [standard building] OR EQUIVALENT;..." in my list.

though some will still be there, i doubt we'll have grocers and observatories

Observatories were not unknown in Tolkien's world - elves and Numenoreans, in particular, took great interest in the stars.

If no grocers, perhaps the Trade Citadel UB could instead replace Market; +25% commerce, +1, +1, allows 2 Merchants; +1 from fur, ivory, silk, whale.

What about levees, will you have those (or anything equivalent?)

 

[thomas.berubeg]

maybe... is there any reference to them in the lore?

 

[Pariah]

Not to levees themselves, but the hobbits did use watermills.

 

[rocklikeafool]

Hmm...yeah. But that was for the purpose of grindin grain. That is in the lore.

here is an idea: for units (barbarian of course) you could have dragons in the anciant times. like animals in the original civ4
and i do remember there was a water mill, but i forget exactly where, i do remember it was there though.
