The absence of Vietnamese in civs and Age of Empire is always a great pity for me.

My previous comment stated that this mod is outdated.

TT gunboat? really? Vietnam has a 4k years of history, which generates a huge amount of history legacy that can use to create some awesome unit like repeating crossbow which is hundred ahead of the chinese one, Trung sister's elephant, Trịnh/Nguyên era warship, not to mention in the 1600s-1700s Trinh/Nguyên infantry used musket widely (6 or 7 out of 10 soldier were equiped with muskets) which can replace musketman in the game.

Understand that it is difficult to decipher what you're saying if you don't make proper sentences. Thanks anyway.

Anyway, this mod is outdated, I have since picked Le Loi as the sole leader and changed the Unique Unit to a pikeman unit.

vietnam why not

@SoAmasian You can simply go to My Documents/My Games/Sid Meier's Civilization V/MODS/Vietnam (G-K)/XML and open Gametext.xml with notepad or whatever it's called and manually replace all the characters and save the face again.

this may seem strange but can you make a version of the mod without the accents on the leaders names it doesnt really fit in with the other leaders

I agree! It is strange.

Anyway, I can't wait for you to bring the new version out!

I don't have BNW yet, I can't have BNW yet :P Perhaps I will. But it'll take some time. It's strange.. I don't know what the problem is.

I even tried to install Le Loi instead of Ly Thai To, but no go either. Neither of them appear in the Leader selection screen when you try to set a game. Any chance you might modify this mod for BNW? Because I am buying the new expansion pack today.

No go... I tried to install manually. The mod appears in the main mod list, but once again in the setup, I cannot find Ly Thai To...

I was installing it for G & K... I tried multiple times with the subscribe option. I will try the alternative download. I read through the page too quickly so missed it completely... Thanks! I will keep you up-to-date!

@newvelaric You're not trying this with Brave New World, eh? If so, it's not made for that expansion :p I have no problems with it, but I use Windows 7. I don't think it matters if you use Windows 7 or 8. Try to resubscribe. If that doesn't work, try the alternative download and see if that works.

Guys, anybody else has problem with this Civilization not appearing at the leader selection list? I have it listed as a mod in the mod list and I did press the green button to activate it. But in the menu for setting up a game, Lý Thái To is not there...

PS: I am using Windows 8 does this make a difference?

If anyone cares, I was thinking of removing the Capture enemy units effect for mounted units. Why? because I think it'd be enough to only affect Melee since upgrading doesn't make them lose the effect. With tactic, you'd be able to benefit greatly even after removing the effect for mounted units.

I'd appreciate it if anyone can test it for me. Is it overpowered or not?

That's a very cool map indeed! I would have chosen a greater leader, but I can't make art from a scratch and there wasn't a lot of appropriate art on the internet.
Not sure if I should use it due to the leader difference. Kind of strange to display another emperor's achievements (conquered lands) while using this leader :P

I was browsing the internet and I came across this:

Maybe you should contact Sukritact and see if he would be happy if you use this map (aside from the obvious leader difference, the map fits)

I believe I did not define that particular icon and the default is America's icon. I'll find out how to define a custom one when I have the time.

Great civ! The only flaw I can find is that when as an AI civ the citys have america's icon instead of the custom one for vietnam. Just fix that and it would be perfect!

change the UU to vietcong guerilla!

Thanks for the tip :) I'll change it.

Dear Davey, a minor change, but the cities should be Hanoi - Ho Chi Minh City - Da Nang - Hai Phong, since Da Nang is larger and more influential than Hai Phong. Furthermore, it's Can Tho, not Ca Tho. I highly appreciate your work and am hoping for even more!

Okay, I made major changes to balance this civ! I hope it's balanced now.

Currently working on it ;P I always make them overpowered xD

This civ is too owerpowered.

After somet thinking the Gunboat should replace the destroyer, be cheaper to build but slightly weakr (not by much one or two points or keep the same strength) and maybe gain a combat bonus on the coast if you make it weaker than the destroyer. If you keep it the same strength give it +1 sight.

Okay, I could remove the 30% Great People bonus and keep the 20%. Hmm, should I change the yields? I could do times 1.5 If I go any lower, I feel like it's not really useful at all. Keep in mind that Great Persons aren't just rare, but you might use them for other things as well. For example, I always use the great engineer for rushing a wonder.
About the Gun boat, what can I do to make it better? I could make it weaker, but would it still be useful?
I'd like some confirmation about these ideas before updating it. Might be still too powerful!
Thanks for the feedback :)

a Gun boat historically was FAR FAR weaker than a Battleship and FAR FAR weaker than a Destroyer. Not to mention the UA is to OP. Sounds like a wonder more than anything. I have to agree with flygongengar about the UA. needs to be decreased somehow.

@The Author

I like the direction of this mod, but I feel it's too strong. All three uniques can be toned down. +30% Great People is already a strong ability, theres no need to add another +20% to that after building their UB.

@Soulthief

So? Who cares if there's another Vietnam civ already on the forums. That has nothing to do with this mod. This author wanted to make the civ and he did a great job doing it. Not to mention the other Vietnam mod uses some anime/video game character for the leader screen. Also, no other civ has a 3D leaderhead. Modders can't add them

Oh, I didn't know. Is it in the Steam Workshop?
