a 1700 start will be fun ^^
I think anything we decide to do will be fun. But wouldn't you want to incorporate a quick 200 years (1500-1700) to show the excitement of colonization? The odds would be against any other civ besides Spain to get the conqueror's event, but it could add so much diversity to the game. The 1500s could be a matter of turns (possibly 10) which will only introduce you to the game. Only the Western Europeans will have the chance to see some early action.
-For example, in order for France or England to reach the Aztecs and Incas before Spain, they would have to declare war and sink their caravels against all odds, but the possibility could still remain.
The 1600s may be a bit longer starting in 1650, so say 15 turns. It would just be a chance for the Netherlands to cling onto their possessions in NA. But once the 1700s start, the game could pick up. We could see a Dutch Brazil, Dutch South Africa, and/ or a Dutch India. Or a French India. Or even Britain ousted from NA by the French.

If a 1453 - 1500 is considered, I think the Celtic/Byzantine slot should be replaced with the Iroquois.

Further development of non-European civs would be fun. Other people have done this but never in a balanced, quality way.
If we decide to do something concerning East Asia I might even be able to help

Remember also that all civs which are included should be able to get their UHV's (well maybe exept for the 3000 BC spawned civs like rome china india greece carthage and persia).
So for example Notre Dam should be pre-built in France (historicly correct) and Mali should have 1/3 UHV already completed with a decent amount of gold at start.

Just my lurker's 2 cents: I'd really love to see a Rhyes and Fall Modern-era mod, covering the entire world from either just after WW1 or just after WW2, dealing with the end of imperialism, new nations declaring independence, the start of ideological wars, the Cold War, etc.
There have been a fair number of scenarios and modpacks that deal with this era, but most tend to just throw new units and civs at it, without doing any real coding for the scenario. I think that you're one of the few people with the coding chops to give this period the mod it deserves.
We could expand the stability mechanism to deal with proxy wars/ideological conflicts/coups during the cold war, create more ideological conflicts, and use the existing functions of decolonization/nationalism

Well, if we would look at the poll, and a 1700 AD start as a futher development of RFC, well Rhye...

I would just like to throw the idea out there of independents becoming actual empires, so that when you or ai collapses there are a bunch of squabbling city states with no cohesion.
Just thought I'd throw that out there.
I apalogize if it was already mentioned.

This is a cool idea, but I don't really see how it would be done, for a "real empire" to be created, the game would first need the civilization in place, with a leader, units, AI personality, etc. I guess if there were scattered independents in specific areas, it could work, but there are only a handful of "official" empires left, and personally I'd prefer sloppy usermade civilizations were kept to a minimum. Regardless, apparently the game is coded so that it's very difficult to add a new civilization, so the most you can probably hope for is that the original empire respawns.
It's not Firaxis' mod, Rhye created, and I am guessing that the Firaxis Team helped him with smoothing out gameplay and bugs. Yet, I am pretty sure that code is so complicated that there are many-many spots to add each civilization,, let alone many. Even if it was easy, it would slow things down, especially one for every region.
Beside, two independent civilizations allow you to imagine what nation each block is. I love doing that.

I'd like to see a kinda Greek infighting game with only the Greek polis in it fighting for controol of Greece. I know it didn't actually happen but it would be cool to see who would win. Leaders could be Cleomenes of Sparta, Pericles of Athens, Philip of Macedon (if Macedon was on the map), that sorta stuff.
