Description
Adds Harappa to the base game.

This mod is also available as part of the Cradles of Civilization Pack (BNW).

The Harappan culture, more formally referred to as the Indus Valley Civilization, was a Bronze Age civilization that developed along the Indus and Ghaggar-Hakra river valleys in the Punjab region of modern Pakistan and India. It was the largest out of all the contemporaneous Bronze Age civilizations; viz., Sumer along the Tigris and Euphrates, Egypt along the Nile, and China along the Yellow rivers. Indus Valley cities also exhibited sophisticated levels of urban planning and sanitation far more advanced than many of their contemporaries. The Indus Valley Civilization is perhaps best known today for the multitude of trade seals recovered among archeological sites. It was known to have engaged in an extensive trading network, with seals having been found in Mesopotamia, Oman, Persia, Afghanistan, and north and west India.

Note:
- This civilization requires the Brave New World expansion.
- Updates to the Mod will most likely break save games. Please do not update until you are ready to begin a new game.
- If you finish the Tradition Social Policy tree, the game will display a free Aqueduct instead of a free Sewer in Harappan cities. This is an aesthetic problem only, and you will still get the bonuses of the Sewer UB.

~~~

@Tomatekh I came back to the game mainly for the nostalgia, but on Iska and Ismet's Stones to Stars/Empires Ascendant, the game is so much fun; I'm hooked. I've ran that with this mod and it's so much fun. Thank you for providing me that experience, and there is always a place in my games.

Thanks! I'm glad people are still enjoying my mods after all these years! I actually agree that this civ is overtuned. My perspective on the game's balance has changed since when I first released my mods, and there's a handful of my civs that I look back on and would like to release one last balance update. Unfortunately, I no longer have my original mod files so I'm unable to release updates for them anymore. Still, I'm happy people can find a place for them in their games.

This mod is amazing. Quite OP to me, but amazing regardless.

Will this mod work with Yet Not Another Earth Pack (or whatever its called), the TSL map pack?

Oh yea, it might be smart AI that fcks it up?

thanks to the author, great mod.

I'll look into it. However, the AI has always worked normally in my tests and no one has ever reported that issue to me before.

Are you using any other mods which might be causing a conflict?

When the Ai is playing, they don't build the worker unit, doesn't the ai work with this mod or is it a bug?

It has served me well to stay clear of Civ mods that have brief mentions of bugs in the Comments sections. They will likely break your game (learned the hard way). But it's only fair to turn it around: I've played with this mod forever and with all kinds of set-ups (Community Balance Patch, etc). Never had a problem. Recommend.

Would love to see this guy in Civ VI.
