btw check this map out http://www.thomaslessman.com/History/images/East-Hem_1000bc.jpg

using that map you can add up more countries like: Thracia, Sardinia or make some changes.

PS: Hope u're still working on this.

Sorry, I've been very busy with exams and stuff this week. It all looks good, I'll be doing some work on the mod over easter so I'll put it all in then.

Incidently, Sardinia (Shardana) was in very early version of the mod, but I removed them so that Sardinia would be colonisable.

This may or may not have come up before, but therees a bug with Assyria. After 5 years or so their armies become invincible, they defeat any army immediatly and any fort immediatly - i have no idea why that is!

Did you try saving and reloading? I have no idea if this would work, but it's the 1st thing to try.

[deadmeat1471]

I'm already using all of the sprites that are appropriate. There are some awesome ones of civfanatics, but I'd need someone to convert them. I don't know if there's anyone around here who still does that.

Work on this has come to a standstill as I've been busy with university stuff, but I plan to release at least one more update over the summer. Any further updates will use a different map, Arabia Universalis looks like a good prospect for a more middle-east orientated version of the mod, and KaRei's Ptolemy map will be good when it's finished (which won't be for a very long time yet though).

you realy sure these cant be used?

Maybe, I hadn't noticed those before.

I've done a bit of work on the mod, just a bit of tinkering. I think the problem with Assyria is that they were simply massively overpowered, so I've nerfed them somewhat by changing their starting sliders and tech + added a new country in those two eastern provinces. I'm also going to try and sort out city sprites and add more country descriptions and flags for version 0.5.

Blaster, I want to add those flags you made, but the link doesn't work anymore. If you still have them could you rehost them?

Also, I tried to add Chinese leader names, but can't get them to work. I put the appropriate stuff in the randomleaders and country files, but they won't show up in game.

Here are the macedonian flags and shields... i'll try find the rest. (you should've saved them when you had the chance)

You considered to add Japan in the mod? It could have small start areas but big colonizer-policies so it would eventually grab all Japan. Map would be limited to Japan and Korea, so it wouldn't colonize anywhere else.

Hmm. Japan was at this time in the late Jomon era, and from what I can gather was in a period of decline. I'd have to do some extra research. If I did add them they would be very isolated and poor.

any progress?
