  • Possible Diplogame Mod

    I found a Modpack at Civfanatics which I really like, and I think it would be good to use for diplogames for a few reasons;

    1) It adds new civilizations which I think would be fun to play as (Israel, Brazil, Mexico, Hittites, Timurind, Champa, Aborigines etc.)

    2) It has new ethnically inspired skins for units and cities that look amazing, now you will have units that fit better all the way up to the modern units. I will post some screens showing this.

    3) It adds new civics, which will make the game more challenging and dynamic.

    4) It adds Hellenism as a new religion, which could add to storylines (there are also mods with Zoroastrianism, Nahulism, Amun-Ra which we could also add to spice it up).

    5) There are two new great people types; great doctor and great statesmen. I haven't used/got the great statesmen unit yet, which is kind of dumb on my part because I should have tried to when I tested it, but the great doctor can spread plagues, which would be cool to do.

    6) There are inquisitors that remove religion and lawyers which remove corporations which are pretty cool too.

    7) It adds new traits which will add a dimension that may level the playing field a little (at least at first) for those of us who aren't that good and for those of us who are.

    8) It also adds new leaders to existing civs (Caligula, Hitler, King George III, Dido, etc.) that you can play with as well.

    It is called Thomas' War, its a really fun mod and its multiplay compatible. I suggest you check it out, here is the link RIGHT HERE, so if you want check it out.

    I will forewarn you though, there is an annoying known bug that if you go to the units section and select a unit the game will crash, but if you want to check out the abilities they have. I hope you enjoy it, have fun guys, and let me know what you think.

    I'm glad that we don't have such 'great doctors' overhere in Holland.
    We may be a bit backwards, but our doctors try to heal plagues instead of spreading them.

    Apart from that, I'll check it out.

      Sounds like a huge mod that will slow the game down quite a lot.

      Plus, we already have a thread for diplogame mods.

        Just trying to help, that's all.

        That thread is old and its pages upon pages long, and besides is anybody working on one right now?

          I'm actually trying to install the sdk....
          maybe I'll get used to it and I can make beautyful things.
          Maybe I'll suck at it and I won't get anything done.

          maybe maybe maybe....

            A lot of the mods we need don't need the SDK. They can be done with just XML and Python.

              Another thing I like about this mod is that it offers a couple of new wonders, like Macchu Picchu gives bonuses to mountain tiles, which could help out countries that have mountainous terrain.

              And for the tech issue; this mod gives you the ability to steal technology (if you could already do that I didn't notice, bc I am usually beyond the AI in tech) so people would have to focus more on their espionage. You also gain tech from conquest. So it gives the people lagging in tech better options for coming back.

              I was going to ask if anybody (like maybe a couple of people) wanted to play a standard speed game on a small map with me to test this out and see what they thought. We could set it up for a simple hour session or so per week and report what we think.

              I think the best way to fix the tech issue is to do it in a mod, that way there is no possibility of cheating and no hopeless attitude.

              I played a little today and got in a dogged fight over a holy city with Hitler, that bastard. He went down hard though.

                      I can't get it to work...

                      the readme says put it in the civ 4 folder/customassets/python which I did.

                      Am I as idiotic as Capo or even more so...

                        Aborigines (I assume we are speaking of the Australian ones) are not a civilization.

                            That was unnecessary.

                            Heraclitus its just a game, who cares if they made a civ out of them?

                              I put it in the .../user/documents/mygames/beyondthesword/mods/ folder and it worked for me, I definitely wouldn't put it in the game assets folder.
