Who wants their own Civ?

[Fuzzball]

I've been making a mod for some friends to edit the civs, so they have their own custom civs. Just wondering if anyone else would like to have their custom civ. All you need to do is send me a list including the following:

• Civ Name
• Default Leader names, male and female.
• Atleast 30, but up to 50 city names.
• A diplomat picture, or choose one of the default ones already in civ. (it doesn't matter what format the pic is, I can edit it to fit ok.)

I can edit up to another 55 to 60 civs at the moment, as there is only a few custom civs included so far. All are welcome to participate.

Cool... What are some of the new civ ideas?

Sorry, I can't think of any.

[Fuzzball]

The ideas for people's own civs are pretty mixed, with city, leader and civ names taken from Texas, to the NFA league teams, to New Zealand, to Fanatasy literature. All with people's own mark on them

Nice one Wombat But should the capital be MarkG, Dan, or should it perhaps be Immortalised?
Thx Hunter, any particular picture you want me to use? A Kiwi Russell Crowe pic from Gladiator perhaps? I'm sure I can look one up.

[Hunter]

yeah that would be cool if you can find one

Hey, Fuzz...

Cool idea...I believe someone had a little program a while back...forgot who it was...that created a civ--don't recall it in the downloads' section

Oh, if you or anyone needs leaders pics--check the thread and post or email me

BTW, I do have a civ_str.txt set-up that has a large number of cities for 32 civs {although, many are customized for my games on an earth world map--and I cheated quite a bit on many, haven't gotten round yet to making all the cities completely accurate, so some civs just have a lot because another civ is suspiciously missing city names --oh well, better than stumbling upon the absurd Paris2 or Rome3... }. Plus, it's sorta set-up for a WWII period, but that can be changed easily enough.
Let me know if anyone's interested. Here's the civs I have with the # of cities I have named for each:

1. BARBARIAN 30
2. GREEK 100
3. AMERICAN 130
4. ENGLISH 120
5. GERMAN {NAZI} 150
6. FRENCH 90
7. JAPANESE 90
8. CHINESE 170
9. RUSSIAN{SOVIET} 160
10. SPANISH 90
11. VIKING{SCANDINAVIAN} 90
12. ITALIAN 90
13. EGYPTIAN 110
14. PERSIAN{IRANIAN} 100
15. TURKISH/OTTOMAN 90
16. ZULU/CONGO/SOUTH AFRICAN 100
17. INDIAN 120
18. HEBREW {ISRAEL} 80
19. INKAN/SOUTH AMERICAN 80
20. MAYAN/CENTRAL AMERICAN 80
21. KOREAN 80
22. MEXICAN/AZTEC 90
23. MONGOLIAN 80
24. MALI/BANTU/NIGERIAN 100
25. ETHIOPIAN 80
26. VIETNAMESE/SIAMESE 90
27. INDONESIAN/MALAYSIAN 90
28. CANADIAN 90
29. AUSTRALIAN 100
30. ARABIAN/IRAQI 100
31. POLISH 80
32. SIOUX 100

{Note also: in several civs, I have rearranged city names, for the AI: this is so the AI will lay down cities sorta-kinda in the *general* area of an earth map where the civs' cities should be roughly in the real world (I used to hate it when Rio ended up on the coast of Chile, or Philadelphia ended up in Saskatchewan... ), but this is only effective on a large map and as settlers leave the first ten to twenty or so cities...then things get scattered as usual...but it helps }

Later.

That's awesome Nordicus! So if any of you guys wanted to participate, but don't have the time, imagination or the patience to put it all down....you could get Nordicus to perhaps let you use one he's already made.
I think I know the program you're talking about too Nordicus. Maybe it was the one used to create the Eldar civ for version 1.1? ...I'm not too sure. It's easy enough to edit once a template's set up anyways. It's just typing practice really, handy exercise for my edumicated Fuzzy brain.

Yeah, wasn't it Lucky who made that??
Can't remember. Looked again in the downloads' section, nope, not there. Aw well
That was prob'ly a year ago, too...

Yeah, I'd had a civ_str back then with about 60 civs, and each had at least 100 {legitimate} city names--had to reformat, lost everything--so I know how tedious that can be typing all those names out
Some sites, if you can find them, have lists of city names--I found one site that filled out most east Asian civs nicely.

Well, back to the salt mine...
