We have summers?

I think that there should be a production bonus for all cities (work ethic), but a maintenance penalty for roads (ice heaves).

I think it's the NDSU fight song, but I really don't remember

What are the tunes you selected for the unique music???

A strange bug I found while playing as North Dakota: I can't build, purchase, or upgrade to musketmen. I discovered this when I researched gunpowder but couldn't upgrade my longswordsman to a musketman; checking the tech tree revealed that the musketman icon is completely missing from the gunpowder tech. In the same game, my neighbor, Rome, is currently fielding musketmen. No other unit seems to have this problem.

@ ruhrgebietheld , I like that idea of the farms on tundra/snow. The UA is indeed underpowered

The leader and aesthetic updates are quite nice, and give this a pretty polished look. The one thing that's still a negative though is the UA. Even in the latest iteration, it's just too underpowered. Both UB's can be pretty good in the right situation, but the UA is weak no matter how many times I use them. The double oil is a fairly common UA, and so it needs to be paired with something fairly powerful. Basic upgrades for scouts, however, are worth even less, so the UA as a whole is extremely lacking. Maybe if those upgrades were applied to all military units, it would be a little closer to being adequate. Or tack on something else to the UA that makes sense for North Dakota, such as being able to build farms on snow or tundra tiles with no fresh water access. Regardless, the UA is in dire need of some buffing.

Thanks, I have a leader update in progrress but no ETA.

I love this mod, but I have one.. severe probably with it. Why is the frickin logo UND? They're terrible! Change it to the state flag or something. You could also change the president Roger Maris to John Hoeven, who was an even better North Dakotan. As a North Dakotan too, I like this mod since we are less recongized. I also loved the touch of the Minot Airforce Base.

Ummmm, Roger Maris is a Hall of Famer. It's a better question to ask why an athlete, not a politician. To which i would say, I need to fix that.

why is this state represented by an athlete that noone outside of the state has ever heard of?

Minnesota and North Dakota are like America's version of Siberian Russia, especially in the winter, eh? Enojoy!

You might consider chagning the leader, or at least the graphic for him. It's a little weird that whenever I pull up the Leader Screen for North Dakota the first thing I see is a New York Yankees hat and jersey. The music's also a little strange, since the state has no MLB teams. I would suggest maybe using John Burke instead of Roger Maris, since he was a political leader. Also, I still think the UA needs to be buffed. It has the same Oil Boost as your Alaska Civ, and a much weaker second part of the UA than them.

do north carolina

On the land stolen from Native Americans and their forced relocation opened up the Land of Hard Winters and Short summers, Wheat abundance and the grand Minot Air Force base. Welcome to North Dakota!

darn

@dm_Robin - It does require BNW. Editing description to add

does it require BNW

Love the less-popular states getting some love here. Unfortunately, compared to most of your other states, this one is severely underpowered. The UB is solid, but on most maps you will only average about 1 wheat per city, so it should probably also give bonuses to something else, such farms on plains tiles. Normally I hate when someone makes a unique national wonder, because you can only build one and thus don't get that much use out of it, besides having to have already built a bunch of buildings in all your cities to get it. However, the +4 Uranium immediately makes it worth it. The UA however, is terrible. Plenty of civs already get double quantity of oil or other strategic resources (Russia, Arabia, etc.). And for all of those civs, that's only a minor add-on to a much better ability. The Scout ability also isn't that great, because scouts are highly specialized and not really combat units. You'd have to add on 2 or 3 more abilities to the current UA to make it remotely balanced

woo my home state! lol

I was stationed in Minot while I was in the Air Force... Harsh isn't a good word for the winters. More like deadly.

@Killermuffin - like the ideas, thanks

This is just silly.

The requests are going to come in for every single state in the US.
For instance: Arizona (Where I am)
Leader: Jack Swilling
Capital: Phoenix
Unique Ability: Cactus Garden: Gain one food per desert tile after discovering pottery (Granary)
Unique Unit: Cowboy: Replaces Cavarly. +20% Combat Strength in desert and plus 2 movement.
Unique Building: Biosphere: Cannot be built next to each other or by a river. Gives +3 food and +1 production. Can be built after discovering dynamite.

This is only a suggestion. Nice work!

It was foretold in ancient prophecy that one day Roger Maris would rise from the grave and lead his people to world domination.

Great ideas! I love the corm palace

Possible Idea for South Dakota if you ever thought of doing it:
Leader: George McGovern (He's popular for having ran against Nixon in 1972)
Capital: Pierre (P.S. Pierre sucks!)
Unique Ability: Great Faces, Great Places: World Wonders containing any human likeness get +40% Production. +1 (maybe +2?) Food from wheat tiles.
Unique Unit: Pheasant Hunter: Replaces Rifleman. +50% Combat Strength in any tile containing any type of animal. +1 movement if starting turn adjacent to another Hunter unit.
Unique Building: Corn Palace (I know it's only in Mitchell but I liked the idea) Replaces Amphitheater. Along with benefits originally from the amphitheater, +25% Tourism output of city.

Change it up however you see fit. Any way you do it, it would be amazing! Thank you for your consideration. :)

Can you add a download link?

That stinks - sorry about that

Awesome man. Too bad I play on Mac or I'd for sure have to get this mod.

Population: 15.

it defidently suits my style xD

No music, sorry. Hope the game play suits your style, though

A good mod must have music..

i think it would be awsome if you did all the states and the mod more than one on it, id love to annex South Dakota^_^

@D.O.G - Glad you like it!

from someone who lives in North Dakota, THIS IS FREAKING AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!

California is up there on the list. Actually not sure what I will do next. NY, CA have been popular requests. I'm tempted by TN (Lynchburg, TN = Jack Daniels, plus the Volunteer makes for some easy decisions on UU and UB)

A california one wolud be cool to have by the way

For those that asked, Ohio is uploaded

@Contrast - Probably won't get to them all, but it would be fun to put together a TSL map with many included

@Faiko - sorry, I tried Google tanslate but I'm still not sure what you're asking. If you are having a problem seeing it in the mod list, there are some suggested solutions out there

if you do plan on making all of the states, it would be cool if you made a scenario map after with all or most of the states in one game

Μου έχουν ακολουθήσει εδώ. Δεν μπορώ να τους αποτρέψει.

@TRusheeRush - thanks! Ohio is in progress. I like your suggestion and considered the same thing, but I went a little different direction. Until it's done, I could always change

These mods are very well done, kudos. I also advocate an Ohio state mod. The UA I think should reflect Ohio's fantastic generals from the civil war, perhaps be similar to China's.

and with the florida suggestion a unique National Wonder, Disney World

Well i would perfer if MI was overpowering OH since i am from michigan

That's a thought. I was thinking Rock N Roll Hall of Fame, along with a musketman replacement (trying to keep OH and MI balanced - I'm not taking sides in that war!)

Might I suggest a UB for ohio. Cedar Point. Not sure what it would replace but it could give Extra happiness
