Will you ever make an updated Suebi and The Etruscans?

@Obf.Heinrich [72nd ROF] [KGL ST] The Suebi existed from ~50bc to 570ad

Wasn't Suebi a Germanic tribe during the time of the Roman Empire when it was starting to begin

@MrPlito95 Thanks, I will change to that once I get back to modding civ5.

The Suebi did had a flag, look at this: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Estandarte_Dinast%C3%ADa_Real_Sueva.svg

It is the flag of the suebian dinasty, the closest thing to a national flag at that time

Pretty cool mod! Great job!

Check out it's info on Rome II

Here is a link for rome 2 encyclopedia:
You can browse the database for suebi units. I argue that it is very accurate, but you can get some very good ideas.

For unique unit I suggest berserkers. Btw the germanic tribes used club and spear heavy light armored troops and skirmishers. As far as I know they raided a lot and ambushed armies in forests. Enjoy.

Yeah, burgundy is almost done although i don't plan to actually finish it any time soon, but i liked your winery idea.
Pixl 3 Apr, 2014 @ 10:59am 
You mentioned you were doing a Burgundy, right? I have a bit of a suggestion.

Leader: Philip the Bold (Icon is the barbed cross as seen in their EUIV flag, burgundy, of course, on dark blue)

UA: Noblesse Oblige: Begins with the first four Social Policy tree openers adopted.

UB: Basilique: Replaces Temple. +2 Culture and increases religious pressure in city by 50%.

UI: Winery: Available at Civil Service. May only be built on Wine, provides +3 Gold, +2 Culture and +2 Happiness, doubling upon entering the Modern Era. (also, use the Buccaneers for reference to make Burgundy always start with Wine available with how they work with Sugar).

What do you think? Is this entirely different from your existing plan?

When and where was the Suebi kingdom in history, are they related to Germanic Suebi tribe?

I think you always get notified for new commentaries if you already commented/are the mod creator, so i think the @ is useless.
pafeor 16 Mar, 2014 @ 9:39am 
@TarcisioCM Oh, not problem. Like you wish, naturally. Was only a suggest, you can modify what you want. XD
Im happy enough with a Galician kingdom in my game, and im in eternal gratitude with you if you make my dream come true, for i am an idiot without computer or programming abilities.
In other note, is this @thing works?? I try for the first time, but im not sure it serves for anything :/
Bubblegum  [author] 16 Mar, 2014 @ 9:33am 
okay, but do you mind if i change their unique stuff a little? (I like to make my civs as unique as possible)
pafeor 16 Mar, 2014 @ 9:17am 
@TarcisioCM As leader, the most known noble of medieval times is Pero Pardo de Cela. You can use a stereotypical knight as image of him, without more complications. As scenario, a forest or a cemetery, the two typical of Galicia.
As symbol, light blue flag with a golden (yellow) cup.
If you want a city-list, or images of the leader or flag, I can provide you with these, only tell me.
pafeor 16 Mar, 2014 @ 9:10am 
@TarcisioCM Seriously??? AW, you make me the more happiest man of the universe!!!
But, do not feel obliged nor something like that. Last word always you, naturally. I put my suggestions, and feel free to make only your wishes, not the mines.
UA: The Way of Saint James (because the importance of that pilgrimage for Galicia, since ancient times) Choose one more belief than normal when you founded a religion. Combat bonus when fighting units from a civ with more cities than you.
UU: Hidalgo (lesser noblemen, who constitutes the majority of the professional troops) I imagine it as a cheaper version of the Knights, but without the necessity of horses (the hidalgos are people of low cradle, they do not have money to buy a horse anyway, but function as warriors in service of high noblemen)
UB: Pazo (little fortresses that serves as residences to noblemen and hidalgos) I think in it like a building which provides a defensive bonus for the cities, or additional culture points.
Bubblegum  [author] 16 Mar, 2014 @ 8:51am 
@pafeor sure, i'd love to make it =)
pafeor 16 Mar, 2014 @ 4:25am 
@TarcisioCM In fact, if you want ideas for a Galicia civ, i think the ideals UA, UU, and UB to it! Only if you want to create them, and i enthusiastically tell you!
pafeor 16 Mar, 2014 @ 3:24am 
@TarcisioCM The symbol and colors that you used for the suebi are very good. Traditionally, the flag was supposed to be a dragon and a lion confront each other, but the historians doesnt know if this flag was real or a later invention. XD
And the image of Rechila is very good too. Either way, the suebis are a germanic tribe, and there are similarities between them and the goths. In the end, the suebi kingdom was invaded by the goths, in 585. Later, goes the arab invasion, and the resurgement of Galicia as an independent kingdom. And more later, after centuries of wars and problems, appears the Catholic Kings from Castile and Aragon, and: voila, we have Spain....and dont Galicia.
pafeor 16 Mar, 2014 @ 3:24am 
@TarcisioCM Either way, the kingdom changed much more when the moors invaded Iberia. Previously, the suebi lost control and mixed with the native-galician poblation, and the kingdom was refounded. The Kingdom of Galicia, as a result, was different from the kingdom of the suebi, although occupied, more or less, the same territory.
If you make a Kingdom of Galicia as it is, I TOTALLY in ecstasy! XD (please make it!!!)
I suggest you to use the symbol of the golden grial in blue bottom (flag of the medieval Galicia, and in present-day Galicia, these same symbol appears in the official flag), and to leader, a medieval knight like Pero Pardo de Cela, Pedro Alvarez Osorio, or Roi Xordo. WOH, thats a civ that i paid for it!
TPangolin 16 Mar, 2014 @ 2:51am 
Lol, nice formatting for the preview ;)
Hiram 15 Mar, 2014 @ 8:29pm 
NICE.
Fane 15 Mar, 2014 @ 5:55pm 
Just change the melee unit to "land" units and problem solved.
pafeor 15 Mar, 2014 @ 5:03pm 
WOH! You are my idol now! Finally, a kingdom of suebi! YAY
And to respond your question, yes, it is the same kingdom. Galicia was founded by the father of Rechila, Hermerico, in the year 409. He make a pact (foedus) with the roman emperor. In fact, Hermerico thinks to named it "Kingdom of New Suabia", but finally, he adopts the roman name, although modified.

holy shit i'm on fire *realized
Bubblegum  [author] 15 Mar, 2014 @ 1:38pm 
Just realize the 1º line was all messed up
Bubblegum  [author] 15 Mar, 2014 @ 12:54pm 
Oh, and there's an old unit icon still on this mod with a soldier using the hexagonal shield.
Bubblegum  [author] 15 Mar, 2014 @ 12:53pm 
then remember, this mod is about the kingdom of the suebi (Close to the fall of rome) and not the suebi tribes. Although the units still make sense even if on the wrong timeline, you could use some better models for the raiders avaliable at civfanatics (The swordsman with hexagonal shield on the barbarian unit pack).
Krajzen 15 Mar, 2014 @ 12:49pm 
Wow, this is awesome - I am working on ancient Europe map and this civ will be perfect :D
Bubblegum  [author] 15 Mar, 2014 @ 12:49pm 
oh right! late-game units have the gunpowder combat type, so their UA gets outdated by renaissance i think. Well, just keep a few pikemans around.
Bubblegum  [author] 15 Mar, 2014 @ 12:20pm 
LOL forgot to test their UA on the endgame
