Thank you.

If you want to use the Map, City List, or other assets from my Republic of Texas mod, feel free to do so (as long as you give proper credit, of course). I took special care with the city list to only use cities or names that were around while Texas was independent--no Fort Worth, for example.

Thoughts?

Would, if I could really figure out how. I'm not used to photoshop, and I'm still using CS3. Besides, what's wrong with mine?

 

[TPangolin]

Just copy the Layer styles and adjust colours (found in the colour overlay effect). I've also included things like paper textures and stuff.

I'm also not saying there is anything explicitly bad with yours either. It just looks kinda 90's fantasy game-y.

That explains 1400s Romania perfectly.

This isn't broken or anything lol.

Gah, I thought I changed that months ago. Fixing.

 

[Wolfenmaus]

Any other criticisms on the different civs?

 

[Wolfenmaus]

Just finished the City Name list.

 

[Panjandrum]

Unique Ability - Impalement
A tile where an enemy was defeated will obtain the "Forest of Corpses" effect, causing a drop in future enemies' combat strength.

How are you intending to code this, out of interest? In fact a couple of these bonuses look tricky to implement.

Most likely, I'll make it to where all melee units have an "invisible" promotion, and when an enemy is defeated, it'll "speed create" an improvement on the tile. It'll probably involve some Worker code-splicing.

All in all, one of my main goals is to diversify how a civilization leaves the land they own, and the lands they conquer. Vlad, for example, leaves death in his wake, and it shows with each enemy killed. However, it also gives him an incentive to stay within his own borders, and give them the improvement, increasing his defensive ability, and making him somewhat of an isolationist.

 

[Wolfenmaus]

Update: Adding Haiti to the list. Am going to begin proper coding for Ghana.
