Canada First Nations Mod
« on: January 16, 2014, 06:35:33 pm »

My plan for this mod is to have several human civilizations in order to as acurately as possible simulate the quebec area around the time the french started setting up shop there
I have plans for the french, Iroquois and the Huron. I am currently working on the language files

Cool idea! I don't know how politically correct it would be to have baby-snatching corpse-eating humans though. Can you somehow emulate scalping and replace the cannibalism with that?

The make trophy ethics are for that, though they won't scalp people, they'll just make leather from their skin and wear jewelry made of hair, teeth and nails.

he went out for a sock,

I am working on the french first, and i am having a hell of a time translating the language files to french
I'm thinking of, in a while, making supernatural beasts like those in first nations tales

Not to seem annoying or anything, but perhaps you should move this thread to the generic modding board instead of releases (since, well, there isn't a released version for this mod yet)?

Gwah, how?
I could release a version later today, probably, but the main addition would be two new weapons and a french language pack

A copy of the first version of my mod can be found here http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=8339
It is nowhere near to where I want it to be, I need to finish the french a bit more.

I don't think the First Nation were big on underground fortresses.  :P
Looks like this mod has potential though, I'll be watching this.

A few other Mods focus on above-ground, mainly by removing the option to mine stone.
