Mod is out. I will no longer be supporting this mod (not that I did much...)

OK, we're humbly expecting it. :)

Now.

When can we expect an rework and update?

Working on a rework.

Hi I have q problem with Qizilbash unit, when I builds it, it doesn't appear.

well given that Firaxis might be adding Nader I will be revisiting this.

i like this man ,
thanks for your great mod . Nader Shah and Shah Ismail I Are one of Most Greatest Kings and shahs of iran . made more mods for iran if you can

aaa

Without making any comment on the politics of Iran or the Ayatollah, there is absolutely no way I'm opening THAT can of worms. As always, refurbishment is coming "soon" and I'm looking at leaders I can add on for it. But definitely not the Ayatollah.

Dear friend, don't you think that Ayatollah Khomeini may be the leader of Iran. I believe that he is the one who differs from the rulers of Iran during the time of the Shah.And it should be interesting.

it's on my list.

Hey is this updated? I was wondering if the Jazayerchi replaces the line infantry. If so could you make it so.

No Ayatollah 0/10

I love Iran-------from China

Will put it on my list. Unfortunately, Engima's just gone for some reason and I'm on a modding break until May 16th

Hey, love the mod I was just wondering if you could change the design of the troops from the european standard to the ME type, its kinda distracting

fuck. I'll put it on the Bugs-I-Really-Need-To-Fix-But-College-Means-I-Don't-Have-Time-Right-Now list

(playing with GS and ynamp)

@ Captain Lime, when i try to play with Nader, it doesn't show civ icon or leader icon in the leaders list and after pressing start button the game crashes

@HyperLonk, the story is not so simple as you suggest. The basic game represents only the Achaemenid Empire, while this represents the middle age and Early Modern Persia /Iran. Another modder developed the Sassanid Empire. Capitals, special units etc. change over the course of time. No reason to stick to one single empire for the whole history of one civ.

@HyperLonk: I am well aware of this, thank you.

Iran is already in the game... Persia IS Iran, Iran is Persia in Persian.

I seem to have come upon some problems. The Qizilbash never appear after being produced, the Tofangchi do not ignore the hill terrain movement penalty cost, they do not seem to obtain experience from Governor titles and when rifling is unlocked and consequently Jazayerchi, Tofangchi vanish from production lists. Jazayerchi seem not to gain a free promotion either. There could be mod incompatibilities, but I am unsure what could alter that. I have no game-changing mods, only mods that add new civilisations or new units to existing civilisations.

The music Persians developed is considered traditional Iranian music, albeit yes, the people of Persian highlands developed different music than their Azebarijani cousins or Turks, from whom both Ismail (albeit by blood Ismail was actually Circassian, Georgian, Azebarijani, Armenian etc.). Yet both of them adopted Persian culture as de facto culture of the court. Conquerors by heart, but still Persian Shahanshahs, patrons of Persian arts, music and sciences. So Persian music is very fitting, but you could argue that the mountainous Azebarijani have more in common with their steppe Iranian ancestors, the Iranian tribes of Scythians.

As to the person bellow me, you must not forget Iran is a term referring to a very large area of middle east. Iranian people occupy lands from Azebarijan in Middle East to steppes of Central Asia. From highlands of Iran to mountains of western Asia. However it is the Indo-Iranians that settled in modern day Fars, in ancient times known as Persis, land of Iranians who called themselves Persians, that dominate Iranian culture. In fact Persians have become a synonym for Iranians. Due to efforts of Cyrus the Great, the nomads and herdsmen of Persis conquered the known world of antiquity, spreading and developing their tolerant culture. What was considered Persian later dominated cultures from Balkans, through Anatolia and Middle East all the way to farthest corners of India. Such was their cultural beauty. Persian became the language of not only Sassanid (who by origins were in fact Persians) Zoroastrian dynasty and their Empire, but of all Islam and majority of Asia.

Trully marvellous.
I now have Achaemenids, Cyrus the Great and Darius the Great; Sassanids, Boran, Kawad, Shapur and Khosrow the Great; Safavid, Ismail and Afshar, Nader Shah. The greatest Shahs of Persia and Iran.

Can I make a wee request? Can you give them the Scythian theme song? IMO it has a more "Iranian" feel than the Persian theme.

Thank you for the update! :)

ty :D

Uhh... It is updated for Gathering Storm

Update for GS please...🙏

is there an non-steam download link of this mod?

horngeek, I actually like the convention in Civilization games to use 'Persia' to denote the pre-Islamic country ruled by Cyrus, Darius... all the way up to the Sassanids, and to use 'Iran' to denote everything since that country's conversion to Islam

You are a very nice modder, i can't wait to see other civ from you =)

thanks for the report - unfortunately my university semester has reached another critical stage, so it's (again) difficult for me to deal with this. I'll get on it when I can, but as usual it may be a while.

Hey, just want to report that it for the UA, gaining governor titles doesnt seem to give a burst of culture or faith, but the production bonus to districts seem to work. Ismail's LUA which gives +2 era score doesnt seem to work as well.

Yeah, that's fair enough. :)

We are aware of that, but this was a conscious choice. It's the issue with differentiating a civilization whose history is broken sharply into pieces. For example, say there were a Modern Egyptian mod. Do you call it 'Modern Egypt?' Because that's a little clunky. You could rename the other Egypt to 'Kemet', but that's far less recognizable. Alternatively, you could call Modern Egypt 'Masr', as that's the name of the country but that's even less recognizable than Kemet.

Part of me wants to nitpick that 'Iran' is just the native name for what the West has historically called Persia :V

That said, this looks pretty good regardless, and I like the usage of governors.

Huh, I could've sworn that they were going for Shia. Lemme check on that.

Can you have this work w/ some other mods, like Tomatekh's historical religions? Like right now, if I'm using that mod, then both these Iranian leaders claim Sunni, if they have the first dibs at it, when they should be Shia/Imamiyah

I don't take commissions, andEnigma is more the engineer here than I am so - I only did the art. Also, call me Lime :)

This one's great. Hey, Captain, do you take comissions? I have some ideas for some civs. Do you have a Discuss account? Thanks

We're going to update to Gathering Storm, but real life got in the way for both of us. My plan is to fix the Ottoman Sultans and then see about the updates if Enigma hasn't beaten me to the punch already

AWESOMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

nice mod! are you going to update it for Gatherig storm, by any chance?

Has this been updated to fix the bug I referenced?

Actually, Persia is an exonym. There never was a Persia, until the Shah called it like that. There was always IRAN.

WOW
