I'm making an adult mod for Civ 5, just because. Wanted to discuss for ideas.

[Grundy122]

Basic, main idea of the mod; upon discovering the first ruins, you find a person there, drawn from a list of female characters from media. After that you periodically get random events every few turns based on whomever you found, which can be either mundane or lead to sex scenes, and you get rewards or punishments depending on your choices much like normal random events. Similar to the crusader kings mods we have, but for civ.

(Down the line, if the main part is ever finished, I wanted to make the characters into military units as well, but that is far in the future if ever)

There would be two kinds of characters, main heroines, the ones who would have multiple events and quests, and minor characters, who only have like one or two scenes and then become a buff or something.

Also just to get this out of the way; scene images will most likely be AI generated. I know, less than ideal and morally iffy, but I simply do not have the money to pay for artists, and if I were to use already existing images I'd be stealing from artists just the same.

What I managed to do so far; create a working, somewhat not ugly event framework, that can be called easily.




What needs to be done; the actual events, coming up with (balanced?) rewards for those events


Also right now I'm making a list of potential, minor characters that would be tied to different countries. Those would be for those one-off events, and would trigger either when you meet the country they are tied to, or some other conditions yet to be thought of. I'd appreciate if you guys could give me ideas for characters that would fit each different country. Ideally those characters should be government workers / soldiers of some sort (Peggy Hill from Marvel for America), or visibly represent their country/nation (Chel El Dorado is visibly ancient south america coded), or just be famously *from* there (as Tracer is from england) but since some countries have a very limited number of recognizable female non-underage characters, I know I'll have to skirt those lines a bit

What I've come with so far;
 

Spoiler

America - Maria Hill (Marvel)

 

Arabia - Either Jasmine (Aladdin) or Morgiana (Magi) (Jasmine fits much better but I sort wanted her to not be limited to just a minor character also a lot in this list are already disney)

 

Assyria - Siduri (FATE) (literally the only character I could find that sort of fits)

 

Austria - Marie Antoinette (Rose of Versailles) (Austrian-French counts damnit)

 

Babylon - I have literally NO idea. I googled and found this character, Shamhat, from the epic of Gilgamesh (same one Siduri is from I'll double dip if necessary), but she doesn't have any mainstream counterpart except for this... mobile porn game on the playstore? If I can't find literally anyone else I'll go with Bêlit, the pirate from Conan the Barbarian. She is not from Babylon, but she's from a fictional country that was based on it.

Brazil - Brazillian Miku. Ok look I'm *from* Brazil, I don't know what brazillian characters foreigners lust for, feel free to tell me.

 

Byzantine - No idea, will probably need to get a greek character and call them byzanthine.

Carthage - Zafina (Tekken) Literally the only character I could find that is probably canonically representative of the general region that Carthage might or might not have been located in. But she is pretty so ya.

Celtic - Korsica (Hi-Fi Rush)

 

Chinese - Probably Chun-Li or Mulan. There are many famous chinese characters to pick from, but those are the most recognizable.

 

Danish - Either Mjoll the Lioness or Anna from Frozen. The closest I could find of suitable viking / danish characters.

 

Dutch - Franka (Franka)

 

Egyptian - Farah (Legend of Queen Opala)

 

English - Lara Croft

 

Ethiopian - ????? Need to google later

 

French - Falbala (Asterix)

 

German - Helga Sinclair (Atlantis)

 

Greek - Megara (Hercules)

 

Huns - ??????????  Christ I think I'll have to pick like any random character from the general area the huns used to be from.

 

Inca - Malina or Chicha (Emperor's new groove)

 

Indian - Symmetra (Overwatch)

 

Indonesia - ??????

 

Iroquois - Pocahontas (Disney) Probably not the accurate native american ethnicity but look

 

Japanese - The opposite problem of most of these; so many characters that I can't pick one.

 

Korean - Same as japanese, except worse because I don't read manhwa

 

Mongolian - ???????

 

Moroccan - ????????

 

Ottoman - ?????????

 

Persian - ????????????

 

Polish - ??????

 

Polynesian - Either Nani Pelekai or Moana

 

Portuguese - ????????

 

Roman - ?????? Probably will pick an italian character, it counts

 

Russian - Natasha Romanov(?) Probably there are better other options

 

Shoshone - Eliza Masa (Gargoyles). Again, a stretch, but she's of unespecified native-american descent. Also she's waifu material

 

Siamese - ??????

 

Songhai - ???????

 

Spanish - Probably easy to find a character but right now ????????

 

Swedish - Same as above

 

Venetian - ???????????

 

 

Mayan - Chel (El Dorado)

Sounds like a cool idea, looking forward to it.

 

On your point about AI/using existing art: Imo, if you use artworks that an artist has publicly posted themselves, e.g. on Twitter or Pixiv, and you don't take money for your mod in any way, I would argue using that seems way better than using AI art, which is definitely created with stolen art and for profit. Looking through your list, there's a bunch of characters which have a lot of publicly posted stuff available.

That's a fair point but using the artwork directly feels weirdly personal to me. The AI art has sort of a fuzziness like I'm stealing from everyone at once and thus nobody in particular, whereas if I were to get a picture from, say, cutesexyrobbuts, then I'd definitely be getting something from *them*

 

Plus on a much more selfish reasoning, AI art would be more flexible and easier to work with. Like I once tried to make a similar mod for CK2 using existing pictures of Nami from one piece, and ran into the trouble of, I wanted an event that took place during a ball, but none of the art I could find of her wearing that one purple dress was in the appropriate setting, and other similar things. I ended up having to write the scenes around which pictures I could find, which weren't many

Cool project, I really like that idea.

 

Roman: Lucilla (Gladiators of Rome)

Polish: Renfri (Witcher), or maybe Triss...

Sorry to bump this thread, but I'd like to give the update that the mod is still being worked on; I've streamlined some ideas of how the events should play out and how they affect gameplay. I also reduced the scope for now; the original idea of having permanent companions is still what I'll eventually aim for but I'll start with just adding events first.

 

That said, some of the event ideas may clash with the Civ setting, so to speak. Does anyone think for example having events involving elves, furries, aliens, monster girls in general, would be too jarring? Or super-powered girls?( I really wanted to add Mirko eventually.)

 

I do have an idea to explain the presence of non-human characters, but honestly I'd only bother to write it down if people think "they're just there, don't think about it" isn't good enough

[Obligitury]

I feel elves are human enough to work in a civ setting, especially when they reach the medivel era. tho the others Im not so sure about, Mabey alien if restricted to the future era.

Seems like a cool mod, when do you think you will release a playable version?
