East Germany (GDR/DDR) With Erich Honecker (G&K)

Description
This mod will add The German Democratic Republic (Deutsche Demokratische Republik), commonly known as East Germany, to the game, with General Secretary of the Socialist Unity Party, Erich Honecker, as its head of state. It includes custom icons and custom music.

Erich Honecker's custom trait is the following:
>Staatssicherheit<
Recieve 2 extra spies at the start of the Renaissance Era. Melee and Gun units gain 25% combat bonus when defending your territory.

East Germany recieves one custom unit, the Grenztruppen (which replaces Infantry and has +4 visibility), and one custom building, the Berlin Wall (which replaces the standard Wall and provides +25% to Great People generation in the city it is built).

This mod WILL NOT REPLACE the standard Germany civilization. I specifically designed it this way in order to allow the player to enjoy the game more realistically, as East Germany never actually stood alone as the only Germany in existence during its time.

This has been tested to work 100% with G&K (and in fact, requires it, as Honecker's leader ability includes spies/espionage content).

You MAY be able to get some playability out of this on BNW. Doing so, however, will most likely cause some glitches, and you may experience crashes. I apologize for this, but I do not have BNW, so at this time I cannot troubleshoot BNW compatibility. If someone has modding experience and owns BNW and wishes to help improve the mod's compatibility with it - please contact me!

I can only hope one of the spies is Martin Rauch from DEUTSCHLAND 83. : )

>BNW causes issues
Ah, that's a shame. This mod looked a lot more interesting than the other DDR mod, but if it's going to potentially cause issues, I'll have to go for the other one.

Die Grenztruppen sind nicht kaputt. Es ist Ostdeutsche Tarnung

Were the crashes fixed in the mean time ?

Do not think that i'm a nazi, actually we're communists
No Gestapo, only Stasi
Soviet's leader we have kissed
We walled up our western borders, to prevent our people's flight
If you visit follow orders, stick to checkpoints and behave
Soveraign not quite, russian Satellite
Central Planing? No Discussion
Like our cars, we're pretty poor
Don't learn english, only russian.
Cold is our only war
Hammer compass, ampelmännchen.
The religious give us chills
Regime jokes, mean jail detention
We rule the Olympic Games
Thacks to athlete skills, well plus shots and pills.

This will help my Cold War scenario if the Cold War got hot!

SkyeShark, I know the chances are slim to none, but I still have to ask...what are the odds of seeing an update to this mod addressing the compatibility with BNW? I mean, I guess it's not really worth it to some people, seeing as how Civ6 will be released next month, but it'd still be great! If not, maybe we can see you return with the DDR in the aforemention Civ6? I'll cross my fingers!

Whoever made this mod, I want them to know that they're a God amongst men, thank you!
