the idea that "oh sydney was the first capital, thus its fine" is kinda dumb. Plenty of civs have capitals that are not the first, but were the capital for either modern day or contemporaneously. E.g. America, Capital city is Washington, as it is today, however it was neither the contemporary capital, nor the first. Philadelphia was the first capital. Another example could be China. First capital, AND contemporary capital for Wu Zetian, was Xi'an (at the time called Chang'an). Yet the capital for the China civ in game is the modern capital of Beijing.

Robert Menzies was PM nearly two DECADES after Canberra had been built as the capital of Australia (1913). With the base game civs to go off of, you have every reason to make Canberra the capital. It was purpose built as the capital, it was the contemporary capital for the leader you chose, and its the modern day capital.

I may be biased as a Canberra boy, but I hate this damn town so only slightly.

robert Menzies

Hey - any chance this can get updated to be multiplayer compatible? Absolutely froth this mod. All the traits of the nation are perfect and love the leader. Not a fan of Sydney being the capital but meh i can change that easy. But anyway, would love to show this mod off in a multiplayer with my mates.

Disappointing not to have support for YnAEMP.

swap there names

-rep ... you made SYDNEY the capital, but included Canberra... the ACTUAL capital.

An Australian person posted on the Parkes civ that he doesn't care if Sydney is given as the capital. Canberra is fairly recent in terms of history, Sydney was the first capital and plays a more important role in its history and is still the most important city there.

So the concept of an Australian civ is nice, but atleast try to be somewhat accurate atleast with the capital city... Its Canberra not Sydney

If you ever come back to this mod, would you consider doing a Woomera Spear thrower to replace slingers and archers and SASR to replace Scouts in the Modern / Information age?

Good mod, but i noticed that the diggers are bugegd and you cant upgrade the unit for gold for the unit in the tech tree

♥♥♥ yea Straya kunt!!!!!!

Just a thing im sure everone else has pointed out, the 'Goldfield's historical info and strategy text is swaped. This may be fixxed in the mod (as at this point i am yet to play it) but the picture should be changed

I am making a game of the 6 or so Australia mods on a map of Australia, to see which one are the true Australians! (hint: it is whichever one I play as)

I know this would be harder to make, but what if the Goldfield was a tile improvement that, when compleated, had a chance of spawning a resource at that position? Also, in the descriptions, should it be "Southern Cross", not "Souther Cross"?

Never mind, I found what I did wrong. I'm an idiot.

Stupid Single Player button in the mod list looked like a heading. Like, "These are the mods active for this mode"

Subbed, downloaded, enabled, but Australia isn't showing in the Civilisation List when I go to set up a new game. This makes me a very sad monkey :(

Whenever I try and start a game, it crashes

and change the capital to canberra, its better than sydney

Change the leader to a labour party leader instead of liberal party then people would be happier

You liberal party supporting asswhipe. Menzies was a terrible prime mister and does not deserve to be in a game that supposed to be about "The greatest Leader of All time"

DOES IT WORK WITH TSL?

I have come back to civ and for some reason my mods are gone even though I'm still subscribed. Even when I unsubscribe and resubscribe this won't show up where others will, can anyone help?

Anyone know how this would work with yet not another earth map pack (TSL)

Shouls]d have been Whitlam, he had a major role in putting Australia on the world radar, and made Australia at least a little bit influencial

Looking forward to the indigenous peoples mod!

I think there should be a seperate version of this mod that includes TAbbot or KRudd as the leader, and instead of all that positive stuff, It should just be all negative.

Gough Whitlam should be the Prime Minister, last good one we Australians had.

John Curtin or John Howard or even Edward Barton should be the leader of the Commonwealth of Australia. Curtin and Barton are the more significant leaders of Australia, Curtin being the WW2 time leader after Menzies forfeited and ran to england and Barton because he was the first PM

@ mr bubbles apart from mr abbot having no historical or cultural significance he is a wanker

I think Sydney should be the capital even now, since it's the place the first fleet landed and is the first area settled. So good job :D

John Howard for leader?

@brotherhoodofsteel34. Stop talking, you spelt capital wrong and so what if its sydney... Melbourne was the first capital of australia anyways until 1927, so get off your high horse.

why would you even think of making abbott the leader mrbubbles

Why is abbott not the leader ?

this mod is awesome, great to know people know how to represent australia in games

Bob hawk would be a better leader

Curtin should be the leader in my opinion

Capital Territory is wherer Canberra is.

Oh and one of the cities is named "Capital Territory", which is weird.

Stop complaining about Sydney being the capital, read the mod description. Canberra is more of a large village than a city in the real world anyway.

This is an excellent mod, but I have noticed a few problems: Diggers are not upgradeable to Infantry, which is a bit annoying.

In my last game with this mod most of my cities had access to silver resources, which allowed me to build Goldfields, but when I did each one increased the population of every city in my empire, not just in the city that it was built, which of course put a huge dent in my civ's happiness score.

Maybe give people a choice of leaders, so they're not stuck with Menzies? Maybe Curtin? Or Parkes?

u little idiot look up the capitol of australia, ITS NOT SYDNEY!!!!

This is just what I was looking for! Cheers!

Love it, fantastic mod

ANZAC is Australia and New Zealand Army Corps, not just Australian

I think it would make more sense if the unique unit was called ANZAC troops rather than Diggers.

Canberra is the capital of Australia and i would know as i am an Australian

Bob Hawke should be the leader, and Canberra should be the capital. But apart from that, well done mate!

Cool mod.

In my opinion, the special unit should be an ANZAC soildier. The leader, maybe... Bob Hawke
as he was one of the most succesful Prime Minister in Australia.
