hey that worked very well. I also saw a short YT video where i would just have do delete one file so the entire mod list would have been refresh, but your is quite easy in comparison. I guess its time to sit 6 hours straight infront of civ ^^

@Satan<3Cat You can use http://steamworkshopdownloader.com/ which will give you the .civ5mod file. If you use something like 7zip to unpack it and put it in your MODS folder, hopefully you should be able to use Jomsvikings

@pork bean
Is there a way to download your mod without steam ?
As far as i can tell thats the only mod which dont create a own folder like all the other mods do.

the thing is, that the modfolder isnt there. I tried to resub but that didnt help either and the strange thing is that some of ur mods i install before work and some also dont appear in the folder :/

@Satan<3Cat Check your My Documents/My Games/Civ V/ MODS folder, see if the mod is there and properly unpacked into a folder. If not, you can use 7zip to manually unpack it!

maybe somebody can help me out.
I subbed to the mod but it seems like the mod wont show up.
therefore i cant check the box to be actually able to play such a cool civ.
btw very cool idea, i love it

Ah, I see. I'm impressed you thought that far ahead.

It is a shame that is still is mostly chance when playing against humans, but I suppose it mostly balances itself out.

@Silver1906 The civ includes some back-end code to determine AI purchasing logic! All AI civs have a base chance to purchase Malamenn as long as they have the gold, which the player can influence in a number of ways: better relationships with the AI such as a Declaration of Friendship or Defensive Pact will increase their chance, whereas having poor relations with the AI will reduce it. They also take other factors into account such as their war situation, denunciations, and number of units that they already have.

Playing with human players is naturally a little different, but I would argue that any player not buying up Malamenn will be putting themselves at a disadvantage compared to those that do. Regardless, City-States also have a small chance of purchasing the unit (rising if they are Militaristic or under threat of conquest) and can also be forced to accept built Malamenn as gifts.

I absolutely love this idea, seems very unique, but also a bit flawed. If no one buys any Malamenn, which honestly might happen against humans and with less AI it's possible they might not as well, you're playing an entire game with no UA.

Is there perhaps a way you could let the player influence it rather than leaving it up completely to chance? For example, maybe literally forcibly selling them to other players or something. I'm not a modder so I have no idea, but I'm sure you could come up with something if you agree.

ok thanks

@Blood_Shrike270 it does require at least BNW, and most likely the Denmark pack as the files reference that civ's unique embarked unit models. Sorry about that, I'll update the workshop info

I can't seem to be able to play as them and when I look at the folder it says 'PorkBeans' Jomsvikings (v1)'

Does this mod require any DLCs?

Hmm, yeah. That is an interesting mechanic, and I see now that it says it only disbands if the player attacks. That is pretty cool. Thumbs up!

@Joshybones they can only disband through your own actions - i.e, if you declare war on the Jomsvikings. The Jomsvikings declaring war on you won't trigger the effect. This means you can always buy them as insurance against a potential attack, as well as use them offensively against any of the other civs.

I like the malamann as a unique, purchasable unit. But the disbanding for production bit seems bad. A) There is no incentive to buy them if they can disband. B) It sounds like it is just really overtuned.

Ahh yes, highly trained at fighting cows and sheep.

@kane4president2 They're playable! Just hit subscribe up above and wait a little while on your 'Mods' menu in-game for them to download. If you don't see them at all, then follow the advice in the comment I left below and check your documents folder.

Can I play as them? And if so how?

good m8

@Wyrm @maxor117 Not sure why that would be happening! Check your Documents/My Games/Civ 5/MODS folder and see if they show up there. If they appear only as '.civ5mod' files, try unpacking them with 7zip as regular folders.

I have the same issue Wyrm, maybe it is a bug from a recent update... couldn't find anything online though

uhhh i must be stupid but the new faction mods i have installed including this one which i was quite excited for dont show up when looking to select characters in the modded startup any help?

True, but as much as a like them, the Prussians have poor chances.

And to Porkbean: Grats man! Cant wait to include these guys in my games they're freaken stellar.

As much as I wish I could agree Troodon, their capital is in Northern Poland not Scandinavia, which makes them a compeditor for the Eastern Europe bloc and most likely a replacement for the Prussians if anything.

Now if only this could’ve been CBRX’s Vikings...
