Brief Description
World of Legends is an unofficial expansion to Civilization 4, that seeks to recreate the atmosphere of a normal expansion. Its main features are Heroes, Guilds, Inquisitions, and Minor civilizations that could pop up now and then.
Unlike other big mods that introduce a whole avalanche of new features and add-ons, World of Legends tries to keep these to a smaller number. (The only time World of Legends veers off this unofficial expansion goal is in the addition of civilizations and leaders, which I feel is something people enjoy playing with different cultures and peoples.)
This is version 0.50 of World of Legend; it includes the new heroes, guilds, civilizations, leaders, units, buildings, wonders, civics, promotions, and game fixes and tweaks.

Features of WoL:
Heroes: The biggest feature of WoL. Each civilization has two unique heroes, a military hero (like Joan of Arc or Thuthmose III) and a national hero (like Thomas Jefferson or Lord Nelson). Military heroes are super-powered units that can change the course of a war; national heroes, though a little less powerful, can build an Achievement that can give a civilization powerful bonuses such as slightly increased culture or science in all cities in the long-run.
Heroes also receive special promotions that no other unit can retinue. Reminiscent of the retinue in the total war series, these are people like spouses, adventurers, and war veterans that give your heroes huge bonuses. However, heroes must be used wisely, as they will automatically die after 25 turns (this is done for mainly balancing issues, but it also presents a strategic challenge to players).
Guilds: Guilds are national wonders that are precursors of the Corporations. Their main feature is that they allow for the hiring of special civilian units every few turns units such as artists, who can slightly increase culture in a city, or explorers.
Minor civilizations: Based on The Js SpawnCiv modcomp, this feature mimics the rise and fall of barbarian and minor civilizations throughout history; peoples such as the Huns, Anglo-Saxons, and Khitan have a chance of popping up during the game. They are at war with every player and cannot have diplomacy with anyone; though they can be defeated, they will be very annoying, and it will take some resources to defeat most of them.
New Civilizations and leaders (a more detailed list can be found all the way down): 27 new civilizations, and 28 leaders to existing civilizations, have been added. There are also four new traits agrarian (extra food on tiles with 4 or more food), progressive (+2 science beakers in all cities), and nationalistic (+2 spy points in all cities, free Combat I promotion for all mounted units). New Civilizations and their leaders:

If anybody wants to help with python and SDK, please contact me via PM.
Anyhow, a big thanks goes to the former team members of WoL dutchking, Gaius Octavius, Ball Lightning, and TheLastOne36, as well as unofficial team members, Zerver and Seven05, who helped so much to get this mod started. Without them, this mod would be nothing.
Special thanks also goes to Bakuel, for all his amazing units; The J, for doing all the python voodoo I couldnt do myself; NikNaks, for making the civilization buttons and FlagDECALs not look lame; WzySub_10 and the CivGold team, since I nicked off a lot of stuff from them; edgecrusher for his hero interface; and The Capo, Ekmek, and IgorS, who provided a lot of the leaderheads I use in this mod, as well as helped me make my own.
A really special thanks goes to Sevo, whose SevoMod was the first mod I played extensively, one that I enjoyed and played numerous games with. This mod is a homage to him and his mod.
A full list of credits of other people whom I nicked modcomps, unit art, building art, LH art, and a whole bunch of other things from (if your name isnt on here, and I used something of yours, please gently remind me, and Ill put it on):
