Description
The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom (Taiping Tianguo), officially "Heavenly Kingdom of Great Peace", was a large-scale theocracy declared by Hong Xiuquan in the early 1850s as part of a rebellion against the Qing government. After suffering a nervous breakdown as the result of repeatedly failing Qing examinations, Hong converted to Christianity and came to believe himself the younger brother of Jesus of Nazareth. His subsequent God Worshipping Society (Bai Shangdi Hui) grew rapidly in size and culminated in a violent clash with Qing forces in Guangxi province, leading to an almost decade-long religious monarchy under Hong's personal rule.



Comes with the custom "Bai Shangdi" (God Worshipping) religion.

For more information, see the Civ V Customization Wiki[civilization-v-customisation.wikia.com]

I quite enjoyed playing as Hong Xiuquan and taking over all of Asia, Europe, Australia and Africa. However, I ran out of turns as I turned my sights towards North America. Do you have any scenarios for the Classic Civilization 2. I would quite enjoy playing the Taiping Kingdom scenario

Question. What does the Heavenly Hall represent?

@'RotA I have! I'm still not sure fully about how to translate their military structure into a full-on "civ", but I would love to do a peasant uprising like Ikko-ikki or Yellow Turbans someday. I'm also in the early stages of planning for an An Lushan rebellion civ, since their declared "Great Yan" dynasty fits very nicely into a political entity.

Thanks for your kind words, really glad you enjoy the mod. Taiping is one of my personal favorites too :)

This might be my favorite modded civ. The civ's uniques fit together so well, both in theme and gameplay, it might as well have been an official civ.
Though that is also true of your other civs. You have a talent for making civs feel balanced and coherent, while still being unique. ^^

By the way, since you seem to be familiar with the Three Kingdoms era(going by the art for this civ), have you considered making a civ based on the Yellow Turban rebellion?

@BroRyan Hope you enjoy it! It's just been updated with new music & a cleaned-up civ icon, but shouldn't affect save games :B1:

I re-downloaded Steam just to play as the Taiping Kingdom. Really glad you made this civilization for Civ 5. I'm using a second hand laptop, so I'm really hoping to be able to play as Hong Xiuquan and the Taiping Kingdom!

Really nice for them to come with their own religion.
I like the concept of those obscure states/civs, i wonder what else may come.
(How about the Münster rebellion of 1534, or Baron Sternbergs Mongol "Khanate")?

ohhh understandable

@nekitb They upgrade to Tanks! You should be able to upgrade them once you have oil and combined arms

AAAA YOU DIDNT MAKE THE DEMON-SLAYERS UPGRADABLE. I saved like 10 of them for when I am able to upgrade them to anti-tank guns...
