CITY & GEOGRAPHY NAMES
The city names are the names of the various clans that live in or are associated with the Hidden Sand, as well as various places within the Land of Wind and in neighboring lands such as the Land of Rivers, and the country the Hidden Rain Village is located in due to serious lack of naming material within the Land of Wind alone. This mod also contains the names of natural features and landforms, both canonical and creatively made-up (mostly the latter), shown throughout the Hidden Sand, Land of Wind, and place that are or potentially are beside it.

CUSTOM MUSIC
The music of the Hidden Sand Village come mainly from its themes from various Naruto video games.
Ancient Theme
Medieval Theme
Industrial Theme
Atomic Theme

VOICED LINES
Gaara's quote in the Civilopedia is voiced. Sadly, I do not know how to cut that extra music out, but either way, I think it makes for a good touch when listening to his quote~ (Especially given Gaara's sad backstory before battling Naruto.)

CUSTOM ASSETS
Unfortunately, as much as I wanted to give them that, the process of asset creation turned out to be too ridiculously difficult for me to grasp, as much as I tried hard. Should anyone see this, I would gladly appreciate it if you could help create assets for this mod! Additionally, you could also teach me how to do it, that would be great as well! If I ever figure out custom assets in the future, I'm definitely updating this mod for that!

The Stucco Buildings takes the form of Samarkand's Trading Post, and the Shinobi are pretty much just Warrior Monks painted light brown like their canonical counterparts. The Hidden Sand shares the same Palace as the Zulu, since it's the palace that most closely resembles the canonical Kazekage Office.

The icon for the Stucco Buildings was drawn by myself.

MODDER'S THOUGHTS

Not much to say, but especially with Gaara's abilities, this civ is basically Vietnam but for deserts instead of trees xD

I am slightly concerned about the Sand's iteration of Shinobi being too OP though, it's like Genghis Khan having Bombard-combined Winged Hussars. (Though regarding combat strength, they're significantly weaker than actual Winged Hussars.) I expect the Sand's start bias in deserts should nerf this indirectly though, but if this civ is still too OP, please let me know in the comments, and I will try to nerf it if it's too much. Additionally, suggestions on how to nerf it would be welcome, but overall I think all should be well despite my concern, besides in the case of the Hidden Leaf, their Shinobi move faster and gain experience like Zulu Impis when trained with a Ninja Academy, so yeah...

Btw important note, I won't be adding the 1st to 3rd Kazekage as alternate leaders anytime soon because info regarding what they did as Kazekage specifically is very scarce and lacking, I can't make up bonuses for them.
