[ focused onto modded AI-only Civ 5 CE campaigns until I can fully move to a custom content threadmill that emulates such whilst tracking way more data and doing so very transparently. ]

* Always learning and never able to arrive at a knowledge of the truth. -Colossians 2:8, Bible *

Done first for Firaxis’ Sid Meier Civilization 5 Complete Edition with a hand-curated modpack (may also include or not my very own in-house tweaks and component upgrades), with plans to port elements of Civ 6 & Beyond Earth Rising Tide components and towards FreeCiv as well…

‘Vorbis’ reality specifications for 'Seraph’, 'Feywild’ & 'Octavia’ meta-narratives

The twelve major Civilizations (excluding city-states, barbarians and observer slot):

( Shoshoni Union of syndicalist Republics, Commune of Samoa, Liquid Republic / Dominion of Sumer, Inuit Assembly of Nations, Heavenly Empire of Vietnam, Federation of Brazil, Theocratic Maya Unitary State, Tsardom of Poland, Monarchy of Assyria, Imperium of Portugal, Enlightened Despotism of Babylon, Absolutist Authority of Morocco; ) = Global Community of Angora [read as planetary]

36 (balance between complete edition vanilla & expansive overhaul modpack-tier), account for 1 slot for barbarians and 1 slot for active map observer; (~50-64 map processing “agents”/“players”)

Enraged barbarians, complete kills, random personalities, new random seed, randomize map resources and goodies, abundant resources, high seas, a few map geographies from a fixed set of tectonics (yet to be entirely decided from a range of candidates) differing mostly in climate conditions (list to be expanded onto), several pseudo-historical scenario variants (scenarii list to be expanded onto)…

288x144 master hex map (to be redone entirely with external sources) enriched using 'QGIS’+'Azgaar’ workflow and split into six sectors of 96x72 hexagonal tiles each (miniature workflow and workload to ease processing for Civ 5 & FreeCiv with 8 Civs & ~24-40 city-states per such sectors).

External content, inspirations, materials and sources for the project

• Must study & document my very own saved maps, recorded sessions and savegame state files (specific instances and related stories to be described relatively soon)
• Existing multimedia, fandoms and shared universes I enjoy from all across the world wide web (yep, much is to be pervasively accounted for in the shared realm of “16^12”)

My very own mod additions + tweaks

[ TO BE INSERTED IN DUE TIME ]

More constraints and additional parameters to account for

In-sync with my aesthetic themes on Linux, use version control software such as 'Git’ or 'Subversion’, may get other people / folks involved into a community branch of my project, get alot of testing & debugging done, windowed or borderless window display mode for Civ 5 (sticking to both 1440x900p, 1920x1080p [& 2560x1440p if possible ?] resolutions), integrations with several other playthroughs far beyond the baseline workload of Stellaris, FreeCiv and Firaxis’ Civilization games (including Beyond Earth Rising Tide modded with Codex overhaul);

Take hints from history & fiction & suggested hypotheses, improvise & append & iterate content extras as needed, think ahead about the Azgaar to GPlates + GProjector to QGIS documentation pipeline, get as much mileage from InfoAddict as decent enough, keep some loose / leeway for a couple of topics but still go quite verbose / describe / suggest as much as it is comfortable to do so, think about how it source files render both in 'transparent & libre FOSS’ & close-source software but a slight preference for open formats;

Don’t forget to explain & demonstrate by “show not tell” as much as it is optimal, think about the sound design (soundscape, sound effects 'SFX’, music tracker, voice tracks with closed captions… ), consider requests & contributions & commissions for slide illustrations / assets of the multimedia compositions, fail faster, don’t forget to credit source material & respect licenses where applicable, be overt about the social contract, make sure to be strict with the people who don’t respect the rules in place;

Simply a note before this announcement ends

As I am doing a quick pace yet long length worldly conquest on Settler on a experimental playthrough of mine, just wanted to note that as soon as such is done, I will be going onto the first contents as planned by the following post hyperlinked banner, which will indeed lead to the grand scale playthrough that this post actually announces.

Don’t forget about how the content generated will be reused and expanded onto through the community and power tools, as somewhat announced here:

Thanks for sticking around for this post, I appreciate every second of it.
