I’m launching my first Civ, the Brazilians, available on 1.0 version. There are some files containing all the stuffs, they are all in this forum, they have animated leaderhead for 4 different eras, civilopedia (Civ, leader and Unique Unit) and icons for Lula. You can use the Brazilians in Vanilla, PTW and C3C version, you find the necessary stuffs for this 3 versions on the files below. My UU Embraer Tucano is ready, it uses the same characteristics of Fighter airplane, just changing the costs to 60, instead 80.

Civilopedia, the Brazilians:
The mix of the European, African, Native American and Asiatic cultures results in the Brazilian Civilization. It has started in XV century, when the pioneer sailors coming from Portugal arrived in nowadays Brazilian territory.
These lands were inhabitant by native Indian races, as the Tupis, Jês, Karibs and Aruaks, that were killed by the superior European armies. The survivors were slaved or get married with your new masters. First, have arrived the Portugueses, to explore the unique wood Pau-Brasil (here born the name Brazil) and plant crops, after them, arrived the French, English, Dutch, Spanish and other nations, to pirate and conquest new lands.
Too many wars happened in this Portuguese colony, because it had natural resources and a good soil to agriculture. These wars happened between Portugal, rival nations and strikers inhabitants of colony. The economical activities had some cycles, as the wood, sugar, exotic plants, gold and cafe, they always have ruled all others activities in Brazil. In the cycle of sugar, exampling, the northeast coast, mainly area of this activities, rules all the life in colony, when the sugar fallen down and the gold cycle rises, the southeast turned its economical, political and cultural heart.
One way used by the Portugueses to heat their economic in Brazil was the slave work. Africans were slaved in their continent, to work in the crops and mines in colony. They came mainly from nowadays Moçambique and Angola, former Portuguese colony in south of Africa. The slavery was abolished just in XIX century, creating too many chances to poor Europeans and Asiatics that dreamed with a better life. So, people from Italy, Japan, Middle East, Korea, more Portugueses, Spanish and other ones arrived in the country.
Brazil gets its political independence in 1822, when Dom Pedro I, A PORTUGUESE PRINCE, declared Brazil and Portugal two separated kingdoms. He did that for his clan continues ruling both countries. When his father died, Dom Pedro I went back to Portugal to take over the royal seat, his son, Dom Pedro II, continued rules Brazil. The Imperator just fell down when the Republic was declared in 1894. This republican time continues today, but had stopped in two periods: to 1930 until 1945, when the popular farmer Getúlio Vargas had his bloodily dictatorship and to 1964 until 1986, when the army took over the country, supported by United States of America government, saying that URSS had a plan to invade Brazilian boarders.
Brazil today has one of the 15th biggest PNB of the entire world and has good previsions to the future, in spite of the constant crises: agribusiness, commerce, factories and tourism grew up faster in the XX century, the biggest tax of the Occidental World, bigger then the American ones. The natural resources, as potable water, are abundance in the raining forests, attracting International interests. The worst problem of the country is the division of the generated rent, resulting in favelas (shantytowns), urban violence, landless people, starving and diseases. Because this problem and its consequences, people say that Brazil is a sleeping giant.
The great leader of the Brazilians in Civilization 3 game is Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, the Companheiro Lula (expression used by workers of industries that means "fellow"), former labor leader in the past, actual President of the country (2.003 to 2.006), elected by voting. Lula has ample popular support and fight against the bad situation of the majority population. After elected President, he starts an External Relationship plan between Brazil and other poor countries to combat together their common problems and the aggressive economical politics of the rich nations, turning a national and international stronger leader.
In Civilizaton 3 Conquests, the Brazilians are considered Religious (the country has the biggest concentration of the Christian people around the Planet) and Agricultural (agriculture and extractives are important activities in the history of the nation). In the Vanilla and Play the World version, they are Religious and Commercial.
Civilopedia, Embraer Tucano (UU):
Embraer Tucano is the result of a national project started in 1978, to replace the older war airplane of the Brazilian Air Force (FAB). Tucanos are building by Embraer, one of the biggest enterprises of the entire world that build commercial and militaristic airplanes. The recently versions of Tucano are the best planes that use helix ever built, they are easily to be built and have bigger sphere of action. Some countries bought this project, as England, France, Iraq, Argentina and Venezuela.
So, I'm waiting for suggestions! I hope you enjoy this Civ!
