Going to award this!

I subscribed but mod not shown. Please help me

Yup. Ismail and Co. did more to affect Iran's place in the world than any of the vanilla Iranian leaders in the franchise. Nice work.

Marvelous. Great job.

Great mod mate !!
Could you make the same mod for Civ 6 ?
I really enjoyed to play this mod

git gud and buy BNW, why are you people so cheap?

Please add this to G&K as well - this is one of the few Shia empires that existed

"The Seljuks and Ottomans themselves were offically known as Persianite states and many modern Turkic nations and peoples were Persianized. This is the history guys no amount of nationilism can get behind the facts."

LMAO
ULTİMATE BULLSHİT HAHAHAH

Oh my god...the comments are just trash.

As an actual history buff, I can say for sure Azeris are a Iranian peoples who speak a turkic dialect. Genetics testing has shown azeris are of either cuacasian or iranian descent. The Turkification of Azerbaijan is thanks to the Seljuks and the area prior was Iranian thru and thru.

So please lets stop insulting each other and calling each other race traitors shall we?

I have an issue with Karkhane not being an option to build. It works for the AI but not for me as a player. I have disabled MODs tried several times. No Karkhane no factory haha any suggestions??

I laugh at the idiot below.

I laugh at stupid idiots below. azeris are not turks, they are Iranians. azeris are nothing but iranian race traitors.

There was no, or weak, concept about races that time as I know.
And Safavid Empire created a part of today's Iranic identity, especially about state religion for they changed it from Sunni to Shia.
Also they used Azerbaijani on religious terms and on army, while used PERSIAN on administrative terms and at court.
I just want to say, Abbas I undermined Qizilbash army and established Ghulam army.
That's a fly in the ointment.

Great mod, but historically extremely biased. Persian empire? Shah Ismail and the Qizilbash were Turkic, ancestors of many modern day Azeri's and Anatolian Turks. Nothing Persian about it.

The carpets mechanic here is simply genius

Safavids empire is the Azerbaijan empire.Not persian!Shah Ismail was a Turkish!and in the Safavids empires' language was aTurkish language.!!!

awesome

Oh Ok. Thanks anyway, and once again this is a brilliant Civilization.

@Voltaire
that is to be kept hidden :P

OK. Thanks! What would be there focus? I thought a Production/Military/Culture focus.

@john20067
Muhammad Ali would be most likely.

Brilliant! Muhammad Ali or Ismail Pasha?

@john200667
An industrial age Egypt is certainly in the works.

Also an alternate China, Japan, Korea, Arabia or Siam would also be brilliant. Thanks!

Awesome. A thousand times better than the game's Persia. Are you planning on doing an Egyptian Eyalet or Khedivate of Egypt led by Muhammad Ali or Ismail Pasha. I think they would be much more interesting than the games Egypt. Apologies if you are already planning one of them.

Thank-you

i hope this will be modded soon i would love to hear our kings speak our mother tonge

well ingame, none of the custom civilizations have leader speech yet.

i mean in game because i was kind disappointed when darius the great spoke armaric (mix of persian and arabic

@Brother Darius
If you mean in-game, then no, out of more than a few hundred civilization mods, none of them have speech yet(though a couple will in the near future).

If you meant it as a historical question, then it would be confusing since languages and their dialects change as time goes. But yes, he would have spoken a version of Farsi similar to the modern one, and he also spoke other languages, including Turkish.

does he speak modern farsi ?

Thank u so much for making this mod compatible with Gedemons TSL YnAWMP map!

Its awsome! Abbas interacts much better than Darius, I like all graphics and his aggressive, expansionist, back stabbing and treacherous nature :)

Keep up the good work!!

A new version has been uploaded and the direct link on steam has been updated as well to fix the icon issue. Turns out a file was moved to the wrong folder.

Yeah, the latest update had some weird consequences. What Tiberius described is almost exactly what I've noticed, except for me the civ icons and leader portrait keep coming up as the US with Washington.

The new update seems to have broke it a little, it seems. The icons for the unique units/buildings are black, the portrait alternates between other leaders, as does the civ icon, in the civ selection menu.

The Safavids have been updated:
-Fixed an issue with the production war bonus not working
-Added Support for Unique Cultural Influence

@AzeriFighter95

May I request you bring this issue up on the homepage thread?
That will also bring people that may be having this issue

JFD said he didn't have it :/

@regalmanemperor
no i dont think so. i tested it with and without mods and also with other mod civilizations.
only the safavid doesnt benefit from the 1 culture per city :/

I'm playing with a lot of mods. The thing is that the Liberty tree works fine for other civilizations, other mod civilizations as well. The problem only occurs with Persia.

@gentle sasquatch
are you playing with any other mods?
I will test them alone this weekend and try to solve these problems and add support for unique cultural influence

I have the same problem as AzeriFighter95. Liberty doesn't grant any bonus culture in Safavid cities. Or well it does for one turn when it's first enacted. If I toggle it off and then on in the IGE I get the extra culture for one turn before it disappears again.

@AzeriFighter95
hmm, I don't think that is a problem from within the mod. the lua and xml are relatively simple. Maybe you are playings with other lua heavy mods?

the seconds policy trees first policy (i think in english its independence) doesnt provide 1 culture in safavid cities. normally its supposed to provide 1 culture in every city but this doesnt work with safavid civilization. would you fix that or could some1 tell me how i can fix it? has it something to do with xml?

Thx a lot. Wait for good news from you :)

@farid420
hmm, I'm having the same problem now. I can't pinpoint the source of the error, the lua is in place and so is the xml, all the tags are right. I'll try to fix this as soon as I can.

OK, here is the mod free save. Duel map with 22 players. At war with Attila and Gustav for several turns without seeing the modifier on production.

@farid420
a mod free save would be very appreciated :)

No problem, thx for the help. Here is the save on dropbox. Besides CIV-Linked Great Generals and IGE, all other mods I used are in your references section above.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/nbe5iz2difstvti/Safavid%20Empire-3.Civ5Save?dl=0
If you still need a mod-free save, I can do another with duel map and 22 players easily :P

@farid420
hmm, can you upload the save somewhere pls?
thanks for the info, I'll look into it
