@DanTheTerrible I was part of a group that attempted to make lord of the rings civs for civ 6 when the game was released. It was very difficult trying to mod because none of the modding tools were released yet. Anyhow we burned out before it was finished, and somebody else's parallel project was released. When I have time to mod, I spend it on cities skylines.

I stopped working on this for two reasons, one of my updates failed miserably. It wouldn't let users load saved games, and the problem was how civ 5 handled dependencies. The other reason was that I met my wife. . .

Thanks for the quick reply, yenyang, even if it was a "do it yourself, lazy!" I have kind of been looking for a small project to get my feet wet modding, this may be it. I'll let you know if anything comes of the thought.

I quite understand you not wanting to work on a now obsolete game like Civ 5. I am curious if you are involved with modding projects for any other current game, such as civ 6?

@DanTheTerrible You can easily copy the code for making a city state and alter it to make lorien. Or just modify the names of one of the city states to be lorien. It is even possible for you to figure out lorien's coordinates and give it TSL but that will require more knowledge about how METSL works. Don't expect me to do anything though, I haven't done any development on this since 2016.

I was disappointed Lorien is not in either this or the ME civilizations mod. I would like to see Lorien (AKA Lothlorien) added as a city-state. I think it would be most appropriate as a religious city state as Galadriel seems much involved with spiritual matters. It would be located in that patch of woods North of the Entwood.

@Klon1568 If this or any of my other mods does not show up in your mods list after subscribing you should try deleting your mods database cache Its located at C:\Users\[User Name]\Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 5\cache\Civ5ModsDatabase.db. Then restart the game and the mod may redownload. If you have trouble with that you can use the Direct Download and put it into you mods folder at C:\Users\[User Name]\Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 5\MODS\.

The mod doesnt appear in my MODS file after I subscribed it,but the other five are

cant wait to give this a blast =)

@scribzey Thanks. I'm glad you enjoyed the mods.

I love your mods, this is what ive been looking for, thank you... now to test it out on my mac :( wish me luck

@King Harry IIL Thanks that's always nice to hear.

Thanks, btw i love these mods :D

Cool thanks, yea i like the mixture

@Brince it adds city states into the game. So if you don't use another mod to remove the base game's city states then you'll have both of them. You can use Remove Vanilla City States or my mod Middle Earth Only (If you are also using a mod that adds civs) to get rid of the base game's city states.

does it replace or add?

@King Harry IIL Each of my mods has a direct download if deleting the cache isn't working then you can resort to that. Drop it into this folder C:\Users\[User Name]\Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 5\MODS

ive subscribed, deleted the cache thing but it doesnt appear in either my documents or the game???

oh, well that's nice :D

@TheZuma This was a critical step required before doing a map with True Start Location which I'm sure you are looking forward to.

@TheZuma No, it adds city states into the game. So if you don't use another mod to remove the base game's city states then you'll have both of them. You can use Remove Vanilla City States or my mod Middle Earth Only to get rid of the base game's city states. The end result is something similar to editing the names since city states are just a name, a type, and a description in the civilopedia.

is this just a mod, that edits the name of city states?
