Too many bonuses. And not even interesting ones. I expected the Temple of Time to do something cool.
The unique trait is just Byzantium's but with an extra bonus on top.
Pass.

Fixed the 'Hyrulean' thing from last time I see.

This mod is already out of date... I hope @TheMH08 would redefine the Hyurle mod for this...

The game just keeps playing the title music and won't stop. Is that normal or am I doing something to cause it?

Wish it didn't require BNW... Can't afford the expansion :(

needs Link, please add Link!

@Aloiyd, check out the Iron Man, Doom Guy, He Man, and Wonder Unit mods. They all offer really fun unique units.

I thought that the "Unique Unit" would be Link, my hope fell instantly the moment there was no Link.

(No really, a super-strong unit that can stay alive from medieval era to atomic era is something good, especially if only one can be made at a time.)

I'd like to see a more outstanding bonus from the Temple of Time. Hyrule's civilization in the lore is built around it considering it houses the sacred realm and the Triforce itself.

If its possible to code, something like the majority religion in that city spreads 25% further away (Stacking with the belief that gives a similar bonus, if possible.)


I also agree with cheesestick on espionage.

Had a random crash after turn was over.

Why cant there be a nondlc required version of this...

I can't found a religion
I can fix it? how?

Maybe, alongside increasing the production on Sheikah Warriors, make the civ weak to espionage, which would reflect the amount of times Ganondorf conquered Hyrule from within.

Also, making Zelda's last name Harkinian in this reminds people of the CDi games, which nobody wants to be reminded of.

How i wish to conquer this mod...

@Build, if you're still interested, feel free to use the stuff I whipped up. Just let me get a look at the final product at some point and that'll be enough for me.

I think this mod needs a Zelda themed religion icon. It could be "the triforce with wings" symbol. Otherwise great mod! :D

thank you Marcus Virgil

@sithlord.caleb: Click "Subscribe" and you'll find it as an option in the Mods menu in-game. It may take a while for it to show up after you subscribe, though.

how do you download

@blue_charles: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/8815800/Hyrule%20Civilization%20%28BNW%29%20%28v%201%29.civ5mod

There you are. Enjoy!

Any way you could provide a manual download available for mac?

@Build: The code's all present in the xml files if you subscribe to this one and find it in your program files. That's probably the easiest way for you to get it.

Any chance you can provide the source code?

@Build: Feel free; just be sure to give credit for the original material!

@Mic Roe Pony and @d20
I know how to program a Civ mod, and i am quite interested in improving this mod, as i'm seeing a severe lack of Hyrule mods.

Yes. YES!

Good mod, could be better but I think I'm ok playing with Hyrule trying to conquer the whole earth.

I would just like to add that in Wind Waker, the king was identified as 'Johann Daphnes Hyrule' so it would follow suite that zelda would be Zelda Hyrule. Also, if you have the time and it is possible, instead of sheikah have the Hero of Time unit. Replaces and is slightly stronger than a longswordsman but has special ability to grant the great general bonus. Just a thought or two but really liking the mod as-is.

@Flamadiddle: No custom skins, music, or appearances, I'm afraid; just unit, building, and civ attributes. Glad you like it so far!

Does this race come with zelda-ish music? Are the units skinned different? How about the cities, do they have any extra visual flair?

So far I like the bonuses! I just don't want to play a long game to forget which race I picked :P

@Mic Roe Pony: Sounds good.

Unfortunately, I've no idea how to make Civ mods, let alone re-program one. I think I'll simply wait. There's no real hurry, but if you ever get the time to fix it up with this stuff, let me know how it comes out. Take all the time you need to get your shit sorted; I know I'd want the same if I were in your position.

@Mic Roe Pony: Well, I've been occupied by real life (and that's not likely to change soon), so if you like, I'd be happy to give you permission to use the code I put together and upload an alternate version with your edits and additions.

In service of this, here are a few examples so that you won't have to do quite so much seeking out:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7yZ-jAj7Zk from 7:34 - 9:11
A perfect war theme. Huge, chaotic, and epic in scale, I would kill for this to be implemented into the mod

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ye5TV9pa_4Y
An excellent track for when you're just starting out, capturing that sense of adventure and thirst for knowledge you feel at the start of a game of Civ. Might be good as a war theme as well.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7JQgyNw068
A very calming and beautiful theme, perfect for either just starting out, or just a general song for times of peace for the Civ.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJQ4evULkmQ
Now here's an interesting one: I think this would be perfect for after dropping a nuke on another Civ. The feeling of despair and desolation this conjures to mind perfectly fits so monstrous an act.

Secondly, you desperately need to add some custom music for this mod. The Legend of Zelda series has some of the most recongnizable music in all of gaming, and there are plenty of lovely orchestral covers of almost every track ever to be in the series. Perhaps a low-key version of the main theme or the theme of a Fairy's Fountain for when you first start a game with the Civ, and there are innumerable tracks perfectly suited for going to war. I don't know how complicated the process of doing such a thing is, but if it's not too difficult, I very highly recommend you do this.

But that's just my two cents. I'm just glad you've actually considered using the elements I put together. Make what you will of my words, but I'm happy to help either way.

Looking forward to a response,
- Mic

Well, my friend, it's been just about a week since last I contacted you. I'm not sure what conclusions you came to, but I'd like to offer a suggestion or two of some improvements I myself am not capable of producing on my own.

Firstly, change Zelda's display name to something other than Zelda Harkinian. That is about as far as you can get from a canon last name for her, having come from the horrible CD-I games. I recommend either simply having her listed as Princess Zelda, or taking one of the lovely names from this page: http://hyruletotalwar.wikia.com/wiki/Princess_Zelda , based on which Zelda you envisioned leading this Civ

Excellent! Will do.

@Mic Roe Pony: I'm impressed; those look really nice. I'll give a little more thought to whether I'll update anything, and get back to you. Drop me a line in a week or so and I'll let you know.

Made an icon for the Hylian Ranch: http://i.imgur.com/QGH8QaW.png

Another variant of the Sheikah Unit's Icon, I think this one's the best so far: http://i.imgur.com/ec6em5I.png

Couldn't fit this in because of the character limit: Also found a lovely map of Hyrule that might be suitable for the single-player setup screen: http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2011/141/0/8/hyrule_map___the_dark_deluge_by_lordofizan-d3gwub4.jpg

@[d20] Marcus Virgil, Well alright then! Here's the links to what I've uploaded so far:

Now as for the Sheikah Upgrade, I've got several different versions of it, here are a few:

I also put together some icons for some potential alternate special units. They are:

Hylian General: http://i.imgur.com/HnhG3VD.png
Triforce Vanguard: http://i.imgur.com/vRRlrBd.png

And that's just about all I've put together at the moment! Let me know what you think.

- Mic

@Mic Roe Pony: I'd be interested in seeing them, sure; no guarantees that I'll be modifying anything, but thanks in advance.

I don't know if you still do mod work, but I've spent most of today putting together a bunch of visual assets for an improved version of this mod. New leader screen, icons for unique units and buildings, etc. If you're interested, contact me and I can send you some links.

Kk

@ryan_cos: Gotcha. If you have both, you can just use the BNW version (this one).

Lol, start with pottery XD

Btw this mod looks really fun!

I mean a version of this mod that lets me use Gods and Kings and Brave New World at the same time.

But I have both expansions, should just use both versions?
