@Space Communist As a recommendation for the Serbia mod, maybe replace the extra unit maintenance with unhappiness from population? I can not imagine Albania is to happy about the Mafiya.

5. Prussia under Frederick IV
"Crying to Sleep"

Perfect.

Anyway, there are quite a few with city-state related UA's. Maybe tone that down a bit? I could see giving Poland a science bonus and free unit upgrades to symbolize their military-industrial role.

Also, Katanga will be interesting because it was an Anarchist commune. Perhaps they should get something similar to the German UA, where they have a chance of bringing Barbarians to their side? Anyway, here is the information you'll need for any African places you want to do.

Katanga Commune.
-Leader: Marcel Hondo-Demissie
-Potential thematic names for UA's. "Charter of the Commune." "Anarchism." "Rouge General."

Tanganyika-Mozambique
-Leader: Mukwava Kidude
-Potential thematic names for UA's. "Confederation." "The African Continental Entente." "Swahili Coast."

South Africa
-Leader: Paul Redekker
-Potential thematic names for UA's. "Free Africa (aka not being in the Ethiopian or European sphere)"

Egypt (an oldy, but it had its place once)
-Leader: Sultan (never had a name)
-Potential thematic names for UA's. "The Suez" "Holy War"

Prussia under Frederick IV
"Crying to Sleep" - Melee Units require 50% less maintenance. -25% EXP required to level up Units. +100% production of Hot Babes.

I should prepare another PoW Hunger Games.

Hm. I could do that, but that means the bonus from strategic resources would have to go; it was made to balance out the unit maintenance, and without that there isn't too much of a purpose.

Perhaps. I gave them a City-State-based UA because of, well, their merger with Ukraine and their conflict with Hungary. Still, I suppose I could change it up.

Also, Katanga will be interesting because it was an Anarchist commune. Perhaps they should get something similar to the German UA, where they have a chance of bringing Barbarians to their side?

Actually, I didn't think of that. I'll add that to their UA, it was looking a little underpowered anyways.

Interesting.

Tanganyika-Mozambique

I was gonna leave this as a city-state.

South Africa
-Leader: Paul Redekker
-Potential thematic names for UA's. "Free Africa (aka not being in the Ethiopian or European sphere)"

Possibly gonna add this. I'm trying to expand on what an isolationist UA would pertain to.

Egypt (an oldy, but it had its place once)
-Leader: Sultan (never had a name)

Very old, indeed. I also remember the more recent Suez Incident, but that's beside the point. Odds are I won't add this.

Yiss.

Which reminds me, I do intend to hold my own little AI-only domination match when I finish the mods and the scenario map. Would any of you be interested in seeing how that plays out?

@Space Communist

Well Steam does have streaming capabilities now so it depends on when I'm on and if I'm not playing Phantom Pain.

That would be fun to see.

Also, when you get this up and running, somebody needs to do an AAR

Hopefully Frederick doesn't cry himself to sleep next time.

It would be sweet if we could pick a night ahead of time and watch a streamed match. Perhaps the Civ V AI will predict how the RP ends.

In the year 2352 the intergalactic empire of Spain faces off against the Commies In Space Bloc headed by China, and in a devastating battle above Earth, wipe each other out. Ethiopia rises from the ashes to become the dominant power in the universe.

Considering we are moving at, like, two in game months for every real time year, we better get some extended lives going on or something.

Actually I was probably gonna do it in the same way that the /r/civ Battle Royale is going on, aka frequent updates of imgur albums full of snapshots of the game as it progresses. However, if I could figure out how the hell to stream shit, as well as figure out how that might fit into my tight schedule, we could attempt streaming instead. Unless, of course, someone else streamed it.

I don't sit down and do long vidja game sessions anymore. Like, usually I get bored and do something else pretty quickly.

I played with it for a little while today. Seems like China is the only nation mod that is borked, so that is good. But having Sotelo come up in a dress and say "Hey, call me Isabella" is still pretty distracting =p.

One thing I was thinking though, perhaps you should fool around with the default city names? It isn't really priority with Britain or France or nations like that, but there are a few of those mods that don't correspond with the nation they install over.

Alright, cool. I've been working on China, and intend to release it without Mrs. Zetian getting in the way this time.

Look, it's his own lifestyle. If he chooses to live that way, that's his choice.

Really? I actually did replace some of the city names for certain civs. For example, Canada's capital and a few cities after that have been changed to Ottawa, Toronto, etc. I hope that hasn't been borked as well DX

I dunno, I haven't ran in to Canada. It was meeting Armenia that made me think of it, since it still had Assyrian cities.

Mm. Well, I'll have to look into it. Was Armenia's capital at least called Yerevan?

Yup.

Yerevan, Erzurum, Sevan, Kars, Van, and Artvin are cities from Evan's map that I am pretty sure have played a role in the RP. I remember modding cities into Civ IV back in the day, I assume it is still pretty easy, so if you just need lists of towns or something, just ask.

Steam streaming isn't particularly hard and the settings to do it should be in Steam's settings. I don't think streaming is in beta anymore so there's that luxury of it being all-access now.

Beyond that, it's just sending watch invites to folks.

Yup.

A vague ranking of shit.

...That was a lot shorter then I intended, but hey, I am not a hugs!

Today I learned while researching shit for this PoW post that the Russians grow tea in and around Sochi, and likewise tea and avocados are farmed in Southern Georgia.
