Age of Mythology Civs

This mod adds civs of all five cultures from Age of Mythology, including Gargarensis' bandits as a bonus. It requires G&K, BNW, and Denmark!

To top off the couple of AoM map packs I've made before, here's a civ pack!
Most of the civs' traits are based on bonuses from one of their pantheons' major gods (which may not totally fit with AoM's campaign), so most civs have some sort of production bonus towards different types of units. Each civ's pedia entry has a section on itself in AoM and in Civ 5. For the leaders' birth/death dates, I assumed that AoM takes place in 1184 BC (the year of the fall of Troy, given by Eratosthenes). I don't have Tale of the Dragon so I don't know when that campaign takes place, which is why the dates for Jiao-Long just say "Unknown".

Each of the UU promotions and UA buildings are techs or god powers in AoM, and use their icons (e.g. the Automaton promotion is Hephaestus' Revenge and the Egyptian UA building is Flood of the Nile). Civilopedia entries use history texts from AoM (except the Storage Pit). Each civ uses AoM music for both peace and war. The diplomacy screens don't look too good, because I had to upscale and zoom screenshots of cutscenes to get good, but blurry, pictures. City names are taken from AI player names in AoM, and also use city names from vanilla civs after those, so they don't run out; city names for Gargarensis are locations in the campaign. Spy names are those of Hero units, myth units, and campaign characters (the Norse use some Hersir names and the Egyptians use Pharaoh names).
