Heraclitus its just a game, who cares if they made a civ out of them?
It was a practical concern.
Does the civ have a sufficent city name list?

I played with it on a small map and it seemed okay, I have to admit I don't know much about the Austrailan Aborigines though, so I am no expert. If you all are interested some of the leaderhead choices annoyed me so I am currently editing the mod so it looks better, if you want I can put up a zip when I am finished."Our cause is in the hands of fate.

EDIT: I deleted what pretty much resulted in a DP, but here's the rest.
The accuracy of civilizations (I mean they have the Papal States in this for f*ck's sake!!!) is not important, I am focusing on other additions. And I believe the total list of additions are...
Italy
the Goths
Champa
Inuit
Aborigine
Papal States
Hurrians
Hittites
Minoans
Nubians
Polynesia
Timurinds (Tamerlane's empire)
Lydians
Phoenicians
Mexico
There may be more, I can't remember off-hand. I am not saying this is the greatest mod ever, but I haven't had a Memory Allocation Failure yet playing it, and I've had a good time with it too. While it may not fix every gripe we have with diplogames (tech situations, "vets" dominating," etc.) it may give us some room to improve our plight.
I dunno, I just liked it."Our cause is in the hands of fate. We can not guarantee success. But we can do something better; we can deserve it." -John Adams

Yeah, it's good.
Abo's are a civ btw. That's how they'd see it. They weren't just nomadic either. Some tribes actually had permanent settlements with solid bildings in Victoria I believe (southern Australia)."Old age and skill will overcome youth and treachery. "

dont let any aborigine hear you say that.Originally posted by Heraclitus
Aborigines (I assume we are speaking of the Australian ones) are not a civilization.
They have their own culture and way of living, much older than many civs in the game already.Comment

Yes, I would definitely call the Australian Aborigines a civilisation.
Settlement not mandatory although Aborigines did settle as I posted above BUT also a highly specialised division of labour is a mark of civilisation.

I just had a blazing row with my wife who says they are NOT a civilisation! But she's a pommie bastard - a ten pound pommie immigrant to Australia
Can someone definitively provide an answer here. Wikipedia seems to support the fact that they are a civ..."Old age and skill will overcome youth and treachery. "

what is the definition of a civilisation ?Comment
-
I don't think its important, its just a game.
I don't know enough about the Aborigines to comment, but I am sure they have a religion (or belief system), a language, some form of art, concept of a group or groups (ie semblence of tribe, nation, people), some form of military or defensive function, music, social norms, etc.
I don't know if all of that constitutes a civilization, but as far as I know all you need for this game is a leader and a citylist, and they have that."Our cause is in the hands of fate. We can not guarantee success. But we can do something better; we can deserve it." -John Adams

Anyway, I've been working on this mod for those of you who like it and I've done a pretty good job so far putting in the proper leader-buttons, changing some of the leaderheads so they look a little more unique etc.
If anyone is interested in getting it when I am finished let me know."Our cause is in the hands of fate. We can not guarantee success. But we can do something better; we can deserve it." -John Adams
