In the time before time, the Great Spirit descended from the heavens, carrying your people, the ones called the Matoran, to this island paradise. They were separate and without purpose, so the Great Spirit blessed them with the three virtues: unity, duty, and destiny. They embraced these gifts and, in gratitude, named their island home Mata Nui, after the Great Spirit himself.

 

This mod contains six custom civilizations based on the Matoran villages on the island of Mata Nui from Bionicle, each under the leadership of their Turaga village elders. Play as Turaga Vakama's Ta-Koro, Turaga Nokama's Ga-Koro, Turaga Matau's Le-Koro, Turaga Onewa's Po-Koro, Turaga Whenua's Onu-Koro, or Turaga Nuju's Ko-Koro.

 

Also included is a custom-made map of the island of Mata Nui! This map is packaged with a scenario to place the six villages in their lore-accurate locations without any pesky city-states clogging up the land. Or, feel free to play on the map with your favorite civ from the main game, whatever boats your float.

 

All six of these civilizations feature custom icons and music taken from Bionicle media through the ages. City names are from locations around Mata Nui. Spies are Matoran villagers.

 

The strategic view icons are not implemented, sorry to the SV users! I hear there are literally dozens of you out there....

 

Requires Brave New World, the latest expansion pack for Civ 5.

 

This project is not affiliated in any way with The LEGO Group.

 

These civs are based on the Mata Nui villages as they existed in 2001 before the arrival of the Toa. This mod is based mostly on the villages as depicted in the Mata Nui Online Game from 2001, with some minor additions from later years. Lore and descriptions draw from my own copy of the Bionicle Encyclopedia as well as MNOG, MNOG 2, the Bohrok Animations, and various books and comics.

Woaahhhh

 

I'll have to check this out later.

 

What music did you use?

[Iguanotron]

The music is all from the 2001-2003 era. The vast majority of it is ripped from MNOG, but there are a couple tracks from MNOG 2 and the Bohrok Animations. A couple tracks I pieced together myself using swf files from MNOG, since in game there was too much background noise.

[TheSkeletonMan939]

Neat.

 

If you ever need help with audio for a future version of the mod, PM me, I specialize in that sort of stuff.

[Tuuli]

Is this Minecraft

[TheSkeletonMan939]

Is this Minecraft

 

No. It's a mod for Sid Meier's Civilization V game.

 

Technically I think it goes in the Fan-Made works section, but we'll need a mod to move it.

[MrSciFiGuy]

I love you.

 

When Bionicle mods arrive its always the best thing. Like how I never get over the fact of Bionicle Skyrim mods. Awesome work man!

[TuragaNuva]

This is amazing. I've been trying to work through my Steam backlog, but this is definitely going to distract me from that
