Note for below. They do not have to be in to prevent a break, but they do not seem to want to work no matter how hard I try either.

Currently Broken: Will not load despite Dwarven, High Elf, and Orgre Civs working fine. (However, I noticed it and Brit needed to be in the game, or loading a game using the bypass for modded multiplayer breaks.)

@RSJ-87 I play with happiness off these days. If I could see a version of this mod with a different (still warlike) ability not based on happiness, I would be a happy man (pun intended). If not, I'll just have to bite the bullet and either turn happiness back on, or ignore the ability entirely. I mean, it's worth it just to play as the literal Empire of Man against a map full of anime thots. Cheers.

THIS HAS MY CONSENT!

lul this is perfect. :D fav it :D

Fucking kings and gods

to make real warhammer mod it must be total conversation. Or just turn off science etc. otherwise its not true warhammer >> btw ths faction looks good

perhaps instead of the warrior priests add halberdiers that replace pikemen and are basically landcheknights that are produced instead of bought

很不错的mod 辛苦了 请继续努力 fighting

Ghandi only becomes a warmonger at a specific point in the game, when the AI's aggresiveness goes downward. However, due to an overlooked Ghandi aggresiveness level (as in 2), once it gets to 0 it instead goes to the maximum number because a 0 is not allowed.

Ghandi is a warmonger in Civ though...

Arcaon: "Hey Karl, buddy, you uh, seem to be placing your armies awfully close to my borders. Making me a little nervous. Mind backing them up a bit?"
*You have entered a Golden Age*
Karl Franz:

@Reaper0777: there are probably a few more UUs I could add, but I don't want to cause any balance problems with the other civs (Greatswords are deliberately barely any stronger than Longswordsmen so that Empire don't get a third powerful UU).

@Gamer Luna: you have to edit the CIV5PKG file to enable mods with multiplayer. If you haven't done this, then yes, it's normal for any mod to not work in multiplayer. I know a couple of guys who have managed to play multiplayer with my Warhammer mods, so it can be done. Here's a guide: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=519066 . If you follow these steps and are still struggling, that's unusual.

@-=F5PU=- (D)evil Vi(k)ing: probably Autocracy. Lots of gold, happiness and military potential.

Add more unique units, like the demigryph knights and the great general should be replace with balthazarghelt or franz himself on deathclaw, total war warhammer came out a week ago, im excited

The game in the Warhammer Fantasy, Total War: Warhammer, is finally approaching. It's release is due tomorrow...

The mod works only in single player, is it normal?

@RSJ-87 which ideology would suit the Empire best?

@Corvus-Evrant: thematically and in terms of gameplay mechanics for this mod, LIberty or Honor are probably your best openers. After that, focus on happiness and economics to support a big army with many Golden Ages, so Aesthetics, Commerce and maybe Exploration.

@crypticryan23: thanks, man :-)

Question, any idea as to what Social Policy trees would best reflect The Empire?

I love these mods, I hope you add the orks and the Tomb Kings and eventually take time into creating custom models. Keep up the great work.

Mandatory Indrick Boreale joke.

@RSJ-87 no did not know i need that one will get it thanks man

@bahzell: sounds like a content compatibility problem. Do you have the Empires of the Smoky Skies scenario? The Empire civ needs it for the Steam Tank model.

for some reason i cant get your mod to run i have used the link and downloaded it and put it in my mods folder but it dont show up in my mods to use. All the other races work just fine.

@dr pool: thanks! :-)

@KaijuJaegar19: short answer: probably.

Longer answer: I haven't built them with compatibility for other mods in mind, so it depends what aspects of the game other mods change. RED is a skin replacer and model rescaler, so I would assume it adds new skins to the base civs (which shouldn't pose a compatibility issue). If it tries to rescale ALL infantry/cavalry/tank etc models by applying code across the game (rather than to specific civs), then that might cause a conflict. Probably best to try it and see, and let me know of any issues. Make sure you only have RED and one of my civs enabled - Empire is probably best since it has a custom infantry unit. If you wanted to be really thorough, you could test RED against each of my civs in turn :-)

Are your warhammer civs compatible with RED Mod Pack ?

omg its so amazing

@Tio Patacas: all civs other than Chaos now have at least one custom model. I use them where suitable models exist, and I have to admit that Chaos could do with an update. I'll see what I can do.

@Borosev: the direct download link above should send you straight to the Empire civ folder on Dropbox. Just copy the folder and paste it into your Civ 5 mods folder (default root: My Games > Sid Meier's Civilization V > MODS) and play the game. I don't see where you're having trouble; if I've misunderstood your problem please clarify.

Do you plan in adding custom models to your civilizations, such as the Chaos civ?

Um...In my experience Ghandi is the biggest warmonger in game...The guy does not mess around when it comes to war...

@⺈ĐꚆѓøčĶ῭Ǭج৴.: Since WPs can be produced normally (ie, not with Faith), it'd unbalance the system if they could spread religion twice, which would almost put them on a level with Missionaries. I might raise their strength to 500 or something, but I'll wait to hear what others have to say first.

On the Steam Tank, sorry if I'm missing something, but it looks like you're showing me a mod that adds a weaker ironclad, at a later technology, and asking me to *strengthen* mine. If you consider his mod balanced, that's an argument to weaken the Steam Tank. They're 6 strength more than Cavalry, with none of Cavalry's downsides. That's huge; they're powerful enough.

GS are mainly included for the look. Raising their strength by 2 would give them 4 more than the Longswordsman, whose strength is 21 IIRC, meaning the Empire gets a third UU that's 20% stronger than their rivals' equivalent. That, again, seems unbalanced.

I too have been able to use warrior priests as a completely different civ, even when the Empire isn't even in the game (but the Mod is active)

@djah48: thanks very much; very kind.

@Doobowa: that does sound a little more authentic. I'll change it and credit you in the next update. Re: collaboration, no promises, but friend me and message me if you'd like to discuss further.

@Mortalis: thanks for raising this, others have also done so, which tells me the issue is common. I'll fix it in the next update.

Thanks to all for leaving comments and kind words!

Warrior Priests don't seem to be actually unique to the Empire - I was playing a game as Germany with the Empire as my rival and noticed that I could faith-purchase Warrior Priests as well.

Can I be a stickler for detail and criticise your quote for the diplomacy screen there? I reckon it'd be much more fitting for him to say
"See this fellow? His is the fate of my enemies. I am Karl Franz, ruler of the empire. You will prefer me as a friend, trust me."

I'd be honoured to collaborate with you on dialog or even VO :)

Great modelling and balancing. 5/5

@Shangrillama - Civilisation is spelled with an S if you use British or international English. I believe the mod author is entitled to spell it as he / she wishes. With that "tiny little issue" out of the way you can enjoy the mod in its entirety.

Looks great and seems like a good Civ to play as but there is one tiny little issue that just bugs ,e way too much about this....Civilization is spelled with a Z not an S im sure any other grammar police like me will understand my dilemma.

Thanks a lot! I admit I was hoping for an alpha release around now about three months ago, but I got work with the local farmers once school was out. So I've barely done anything since mid-July.

@Civitar: that looks amazing. I won't ask when it'll be ready because it'll clearly be a while, but I can't wait. *Hat tip*.

Here [forums.civfanatics.com] is a link to the mod. There is also a slightly out-of-date link to the Units Thread (I have been busy and have not updated that thread as regularly as I should be! There are now a good few more units in nearly all civs than shown there) in the main thread.

Ah, I was wondering if it would be possible to see Sylvania or Tomb Kings in the future. I'm definately going to check these out, though.

@Shoot2maim: Thanks! And yeah they seem to have gone down OK so will probably do at least a couple more. Maybe even the whole lot if my enthusiasm doesn't wane. Maybe even... and now we're ahead of ourselves.

These look pretty good. Are you planning on making any more of civs like this?

i'm so excited for civitar's mod

@Civitar: wow, sounds ambitious! Would love to take a look.

Hi, I'm making a ginormous WHFB project that is a total-conversion of vanilla civ5. If you'd like to check it out (it is unfortunately nowhere near even an alpha release though), I can link you to its CFC page.

AM OBEY WITHOUT QUESTION

These are some cool looking civs. Keep it up! Been waiting for someone to do this for ages.
