Whats update?

Paladin does not produce/make siege units when on the appropriate tile. 'Saving for great prophet' gives the option of choosing whether to get a social policy or great prophet but purchasing one does not give the option. (playing on mac)

I do not get a popup for the social policy i tried buying the great person and also just letting it come of it itself but nothing pops up, can you explain or help?

it doesn't pop up even though it says enabled in the mods? I can't play as it even though i enabled it and it says it's in use :(

any way to get the older version of the Franks, with the abbey and such?

First time playing this Civ and it looks great. But I ran into an issue where no popup appears to choose a social policy when a prophet appears from faith. Has anyone else had this issue?

I havent played it yet, but i know from history that Charlemagne was one of the best leaders ever.

@JFD Out of curiosity, do you need someone to narrate the introduction for Charlemagne? If so, where can I contact you?

Wasn't the leader of this civ the first Holy Roman Emperor/Reich?

Just tried this civ out and I have to say I really like it. Combined it with a very warlike religion (Pilgrimage, Holy Warriors, Religious Community, Just War, and Religious Fervor.) I never made it past the Rennaisance because hte game ended that early. The computer opponents just couldn't keep up with me spamming faith bought Franciscas.

This civ is no longer showing up for me even though the mod is installed and active? Kind of a bummer, I loved it.

Do you need to be Francia for the Paladin's ability to create siege units to work?
I was playing as another civ and got a Paladin as a gift because I completed the patronage tree but was unable to make a siege unit on forest tile (without a lumber mill). Is it because it was out of my workable range?

Cool idea, by the way.

probly best oped civ to me 8)

Hey,

Charlemagne didn't meet the requirements for enacting the Carolignian decision (only had his capital, no conquered cities at all), yet he still happily renamed himself. How is this possible?

Heya

Using your 32 civs DLC pack from civ fanatics, but with Charlemagne all players get the option of a free social policy/great prophet when the player using Charlemagne gets one. Only the social policy choice actually works for other players, but this obviously means they get a free social policy every time you earn a great prophet, completely breaking the game. Is there a fix for this?

I conquered a city as the Franks with the unique swordsman, and i now has 301 turns of resistance. D: Does that happen normally sometimes or is that a bug?

I really love this civ, thanks! Maybe slightly OP (those free siege units were a huge boost in my game) but the uniqueness justifies it. :) Don't think I ever took both honor and piety before.

@sebelore One of the decisions is to change the civ name to The Carolingian Empire.

Should call it Carolingian (check it out i think that's it)

dm_Robin Did you read the description to find out?

does it need BNW

I'm interested, why did you choose to change the name from The Franks to Francia? Surely more people would recognise the former.

@JFD + @Civitar, I suspect also that the great man himself was using his PR staff to push the Charlemagne monniker to impress the Pope. Karl der Grosse might have turned him off.

@JFD: Yes that's it. Plus admit it - Charlemagne is much more unique-sounding than Charles the Great (what Karl der Grosse translates literally to).

@Civitar Which is what I demonstrated as being my understanding. But my point is that his comment is out of place because it is more logical to use an english name in an english mod intended for an english version of the game that more english users will recognise than an obscure German name, even if Charlemagne spoke a language closer to German than Latin or French.

@mordcake Different background

@Nixerino Because I aready use in in the Norway mod, and because the Francisca is more closely associated with Charlemagne than the Seaxman.

If you choose to take the free policy instead, then you won't get a religion, yes.

His argument is that Charlemagne spoke german so we should call him by his german name. my dad is the same way on occasion.

Again, why isn't the Seaxman from Fall of Rome the UU?
Also, "Whenever a Great Prophet is born through Faith, you may choose instead a free Social Policy." It says "instead" does that mean that you can't found a religion?

Isn't Francisca's icon the same as the Hand-Axe's?

@Civitar But he asked why english people don't use his real name, providing the German vesion of the name and thereby suggesting that that's the name that I should've gone with (otherwise, why comment? If it's a general muse, then that's not appropriate here) But being that I am english and that this mod is english, I went with the English name (which, indeed, is the same as the French), because there is no obvious precedent to do otherwise.

JFD he's saying that Charlemagne is the french of Karl der Grosse. It just happens that the english way of naming this person is the same as the french way

@Pascaler This mod is for the English version of the game. Hence, an anglicised version of the name is appropriate here.

@Þór, theDoomBox Yup. The Franks are whom I am in the process of updating currently.

@JFD Will this include support for your upcoming piety and prestige mod? Also what @Þór said.

@JFD could you add Events and Decisions support for this mod when you update it?

anglisice? it is the french version

@Pascaler Because we like to anglicise everything.

why don't english people use his real name? Karl der grosse,because you know the franks came partially from the netherlands and partially from the region around köln

Why doesn't this have the Seaxmen from Fall of Rome as the UI?

Why can't I build the lovely abbeys? What will I do without my lovely abbeys?!

Mabe The special unit for this faction should be Frankish Knights, because The Franks where the ones to start fudalism... also Charlemagne is well rememberd for his Army of skilled Horse men, and cavalry tactics!

i was looking for a mod of the anglo-saxon england,with Godwinson, the Huscarls and everything from 1066 scenario that could be added into game. But this is the closest,so thanks

Haven't played BNW yet with mods, but I'm pleased to see you've updated the Franks. This is my fave mod. Charlemagne looks great, love the image you chose for him.

i start the game then i close the intro screen for the civ then it freezes

@Lionx10 At the loading screen, or in-game?

the game crashes everytime i try to play as one of your Civs

@KomradKthulu They're from Crusader Kings II and Knights of Honour, respectively. The titles are in the description, or direct links can be found on CivFanatics.

@zArkham4269 You still keep getting faith.

How does the Franks UA work once the Peity tree is completed?
