Thrall of Sirens

Description
Adds the Thrall of Sirens Civilization.
Do you hear the Siren's Call? The Dazzlings have returned and will have their voices pass over all of Equestria. This is a Venice style civ to be used with Harald B's Pony Units Mod To help bring the Sirens to life the very talented Wubcake has provided her to voice speak for all the Sirens. Go check out her channel here!

Unique Ability: Siren's Song -- Due to losing their magical Pendants the Sirens can no longer gain settlers nor annex cities. Their natural affinty for Oceans doubles the normal number of trade routes available. A Dazzling appears after researching Drama and Poetry. May purchase in puppeted cities.

Unique Unit: Seapony Scout -- These Seaponies are friends of Sonata and love to tell her all about their adventures. These scouts start off with the ability to embark into the ocean and have double movement while embarked. They also cost no maintenance.

Unique Great Person: Dazzling -- The Sirens themselves come down to replace the Great Merchant. Aside from the ability to Conduct a Trade Mission, the Dazzling can coerce City-States, bringing them under Siren control as a Puppet.

what ui mod do you use?

I just picked up BNW and for my first round of it i pulledi n htis mod, being a massive fan of the Sirens Myself.

sadly, not to knowledgable about Civ, so color that a big mistake. I do think it was a proper choice to make a similar to venice set up for the Sirens, and the music and voicework (WOOT for Wubcakes help) does make me want to learn to play this vic properly...

but before htis ive only ever done well on science based wins, while this screams Culture to me. whatever the case, thank you for putting this together. it looks like a solid set up!

If you read their Civilopedia you'll find the reason why Tanks of DOOM are being used by Aquatic Pacifists.

Hey i checked out your mod and um... are seapony scouts SUPPOSED to look like this:

I was testing with pretty much just your mods + couple others that shouldn't even effect graphics.

Oh, you want to make an mlp varient of the game, I see. That explains why the Sunset one is pretty much Byzantium, and I use both of these in game right now, so I still like them in game, it's just bittersweet that we can't have anything really unique here. But if that's your intention, it's going very well.

I get that some people would find the Venice style to be "gimmicky" but thats why it has its fans: Its the only Civ that plays completely differently. Thats why I gave my Civ the Seapony Scouts. In any normal Civ this would be the most overpowered Unique Unit ever. But since Sirens can't build Settlers the Scouts main purpose becomes finding other City States and Civs to form Trade routes with and decide beforehand which City States you want to Puppet first, instead of hanging around your territory finding spots for settlers to build cities in.

In terms of First City placement I've already programmed this Civs Starting Location's to have First priority on starting on Coastal Tiles.

If you could somehow make your city only buildable in water or atleast on coasts I'd be sold on calling it a far more original playstyle Civ.
But I was thinking the same British Poo was, it feels like a Venice clone. That's not a bad thing in my book but for high-grade players Venice is consitered 'joke' tier and very weak.

I completely understand your concern. While through my modding I came to learn from the Civ 5 community that there is a faction of players who love playing Venice so much they rarely if ever switch to a different Civ. Now the overall goal of my modding is to create a Modpack with 22 MLP Civs and a variety of other Mods so people can play Multiplayer together. So I felt I needed to include a Venice style Civ in the MLP civs so the Venice players wouldn't be left out. So if I was going to make a "Reskin" then Celestia Dang It I was going to make the best "Reskin" ever. I don't see why your knocking my Seapony Scout though, it's completely original and has valid Game design behind it. Thanks for sticking around, I work too hard with other people in the Fandom to just Phone something in.

You know this may be the biggest confliction I've ever had to deal with. Everything about the civ's properties and play style are completely unoriginal, you just took Venice, gave it Polynesia's boat, and slapped the Sirens on it. But goddamn the fact that you put that music and voice acting by the great Wubcake is making me geek out uncontrollably here. Were it more like they just had a better influence bonus over city states and the unique great person be like a citadel that you can place in the water for your navy, I'd be sold. But as it stands, the voice acting and music is the only thing that keeps me interested at all.
