need more heroes and villains! this is one of my favorites and so could use more

@aylith, you mean the unit models in-game? .... you know, I never thought that the skin color of the unit models would change by nation, does it do that in the main game?? ...I wouldn't know where to change that, but now I wanna go look....

Great mod but why are the Wakandans white? I'm assuming this is a modding limitation and not an intentional design decision, but I figured I'd mention it in case you just forgot to change it.

this mod suddenly became very real

@janeperry185, this is M1sf1r3's standalone mod to add Shuri as a leader; in the main mod, T'challa is the main leader for Wakanda. We also have a mod to add Okoye as a leader. If you get the main Super Civs VI mod, all leaders are included. If you just download this mod, it'll give you Wakanda and Shuri, but no other leaders.

Why Shuri.

Why not Tchalla

Vibranium is completely useless to other civs... but that won't stop the AI from trying to trade you for it.

Also, I don't think we have any more plans for Wakanda in particular, what changes/updates would you like to see?

What is the use of vibranium to other civs and do you plan to update this civ any further?

Um, not directly, since I came from modding Civ 5. Check the forums at CivFanatics, they have a ton of great resources and an active community that can help you out when you get stuck! Start by going into the Steam Tools, and download the Civ 6 Pantry and Modding Tools, you'll need those.

Got any good resources to learn modding you can direct me to?

You sound like you have a lot of ideas, you should look into making some of them yourself! That's how I got started modding. Just take like one idea and start learning how to mod, one piece at a time. It's great experience, and if it's something you're passionate about, it'll be great fun.

Not a bug, the district gets both faith and science for adjacencies, but it gives up some of the adjacencies that the original districts have, like wonders, reefs, geothermals, etc.

As for the unique units, I'm not interested in giving one out of 30+ civs a ton of unique units for no real reason. The alternative would be making another culture with different 3d models for everything... which is probably a ton of work that I'm not gonna get around to any time soon.

And for the wonders, again, I don't want to confuse the player by using existing wonder models. If you build Great Zimbabwe, you should see it on the map and be proud of it, I don't want the player to have like 20 zimbabwes on their map. I'm really not interested in wonders like that without a unique 3d model.

Bug? Geothermal vents have no effect on Necropolis?

Ideas for unique/replacement units. In all cases, these units replace the entire tech tree units from Ancient to future, only becoming stronger and/or gaining some new abilities.

Dora Milaje: Melee land units (Stand-in model, Zulu Impi Pikeman)
Border Tribe: Ranged land units (Stand-in model, Nubia Pitati Archer)
Rhino Calvary: Calvary land units (Stand-in model, India Varu Cavalry)
Dragon Flyer: Air Fighter (Stand-in model, Jet Fighter)
Royal Talon Fighter: Air Bomber (Stand-in model, Jet Bomber)

Had an idea, could a Mt. Bashenga/Great Mound Wonder be considered a national wonder? I've seen mods that add national wonders. As for a graphical stand in, I can only think of Machu Picchu as it vaguely resembles a mine. Also, regarding the Necropolis, perhaps you can use the model for Great Zimbabwe, since that has a good African aesthetic and looks like it could encompass all those buildings.

Should be.... I'll get onto that then

Another bug I noticed, the Dora Milaje doesn't appear to receive its +5 combat bonus when fighting in or next to your territory.

Ah, I see what you're saying. But, at the same time, it's a little reductive. At least in the movies, Wakanda is a recognized country, just so small and insignificant that no-one takes it seriously. Even after the rest of the world realizes what they are, they're still tiny, and while the Vibranium is very valuable, Wakanda is more than capable of defending itself, so simple conquest isn't really an option.

Also, it would feel pretty bad having every civ hate you just because you chose your favorite character, or something. If you ACT like certain characters, you deserve it, haha, but I don't like giving players penalties for something they didn't do.

It's a means to simulate the isolationism of Wakanda through most of its history, or outsiders trying to conquer it without success (see the BET Black Panther motion comic series). Ergo, for the sake of accuracy, other Civs would be hostile to Wakanda until the Modern Era because of the desire to acquire Vibranium.

Meanwhile, I just look like a fool for misinterpreting an entire comment.

Yeah, the Impi would be the ideal choice for the 3d model... Unfortunately, they're from Rise and Fall, and I'm not sure that the 3d models and everything from the expansions (and the DLC packs) get loaded in games that don't have those DLCs active, like vanilla rulesets. There's really no way that I know of to separate loading graphics and models based on the ruleset, so it's just really not feasible to do so.

On the topic of wonders, 3d modelling is just not something we can do, it's not in either of our skill sets. It would be fun to design world/natural wonders, but I wouldn't add them in the game without a really good-looking model to accompany them.

Also, what's with the diplomacy penalty? I'm not sure what you're talking about...

I wasn't dissatisfied, and I'm not asking to use Impi units, just the model since they seem to fit the Wakandan aesthetic a little better than Warriors. Assuming you don't plan on eventually making custom assets for the unique units, districts, and buildings, I just thought there might be some stand in visual assets that might fit in with the mod.

Since Super Civs VI seeks to add in fictional civilizations and leaders from Marvel and DC Comics, we stay away from the existent units and the like from Firaxis and create our own. If you are dissatisfied with our design choices, that is fine but it's the choices Luei and I have chosen and agreed on.

After playing a bit more, I think the Zulu Impi would make a better stand in for the Dora Milaje than the Warrior. Since it is a replacement for a Pikeman, aestheetically it would be more appropriate since Dora are spear wielders. Even the Impi icon looks like the Black Panther tooth necklace.

@Gantros, wow that's a lot.

1. Should be but I may have forgotten to add that in.

2. Can't do really. This is the design that Luei and I are happy with and have reworked to get it to where it is. We might do Wonders though but they are quite hard.

3a. Yeah, it's a known bug with Firaxis Leaders, we're trying to figure out why.

3b. Need to check with Luei but that should be blank.

Gilgamesh has gold scepter bug, as well

Noted a couple bugs:

1.) Tomyris only appears as a static image of a golden staff during interactions

2.) Necropolis is a blank space on the map.

Also, had some ideas to improve the mod:

1.) Give Wakanda a unique Wonder, Mount Bashenga, which is built on a mountain (like Machu Picchu). Provides +2 Vibranium. I imagine that the Wonder is a panther statue with glowing blue cracks in the mountain face.

2.) Until the Modern Era, Wakanda has a massive Diplomacy penalty, effectively making all other major civs hostile.

Could you make this mod compatible with the True Start Location Earth map?
