(Dale's ranged bombardment)





Rise of Mankind is a mod that is a conversion of my first mod, Epic (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=229126), that was made for Warlords expansion. Rise of Mankind is made for Beyond the Sword expansion but it will also require Warlords expansion since I've used graphics from Warlords in my mod - so be sure to have both expansions before you try this mod. Mod supports only English language.

Plus all the other respective authors who have helped in mods mentioned above.

Things to do

- ranged bombardment: missiles, better artillery
- buildings that need electricity (power) as requirement for any production, including science, health, food, hammer, culture, happiness, commerce
- more events
- more religions: Hellenism (Zeus, Athene etc), Zoroastrianism, Protestantism, Roman religion (Jupiter, Mars etc.), Mesoamerican religion (Jaguar and other animal gods), Viking religion (Valhalla), Egyptian religion... religions that are older than current major religions but vanished due to religious propaganda.
- more corporations
- add religion specific crusader units
- civic specific buildings
- Zone of control like in Civ3
- Civilization specific flavor unit lists (huge task)
- 1 new civic categories once I get properly working civic screen (python) that can show 8 categories correctly
- Balancing modern time and near future unit strengths and abilities
- 1 or 2 new UU units for each civilization
- Python: add Alerts mod
- Add all strategy and pedia texts for all new objects (huge task)


Changes will be made based on your feedback so please let me know if you find any bugs. There are also things that I haven't had time to add to the mod. For example there's plenty of flavor unit graphics that haven't been enabled yet. Religions, Corporations and Events will be changed later as well.

Sounds awesome! downloading now, good job!

:wow: Look impressive! :thumbsup:

wow, very imppressive pack!!!!

I have a question : i have Civ 4 and BTS it's ok...

And Warlords is included in BTS CD/DVD no ?

Very nice! I feel overwhelmed just looking at it!

I hope you used the better graphics for the Mausoleum in the Lost Wonders mod. ;) I haven't had time to update that yet. On the question of civic-specific buildings, I believe Zebra 9 has a modcomp that will let you set that. (It might be units, but it could be adapted easily enough.)

When you write that only English is supported, does that mean that the mod is in English only, or that the game and expansions must be in English for that mod to work ?

I've downloaded the mod, and put it on my French installation of Civ4, but with the mod loaded i cannot see any text in the menu ... :(

I believe he means there are no tags for other languages in the XML files, only English. That's why you aren't seeing any text.

Very ambitious pack, may be the most ambitious for BTS so far. I can't wait to try it.

By the way, is your mod includes a modified DLL? I am asking because Solver's unofficial patch is becoming quite essential for playing BTS or any mod based on it (Unless the mod changes the game play entirely). So are you considering merging it in?

I also see that you included ranged bombardment on your to do list. Are you planning to include Dale's mod for that matter or you have your own implementation?

I guess if the tags for other languages are there even if they include copies of the English ones they would work for localized version. If this is true it would be a simple fix though a little time consuming.

On the question of civic-specific buildings, I believe Zebra 9 has a modcomp that will let you set that. (It might be units, but it could be adapted easily enough.)Hmm.. wasn't Mausoleum included in BtS as well? I think I used art files from it. I'll have to check it later at home. There's probably lots of new material that I could use, just haven't had time to check what people have made recently. Lately most of my freetime has gone with this mod project and now that I got first release, I can again start searching for new materials to be included so any tips are appreciated. ;)

I've downloaded the mod, and put it on my French installation of Civ4, but with the mod loaded i cannot see any text in the menu ... :(English only, meaning that if you try the mod in any other language you won't see most of the text elements for most objects added by the mod (ie. usually empty or just . for text). You'd have to change to English language from game options. If that isn't available, then only choice is to wait mod to be translated. I haven't studied french so I can't do that translation. Expansions or the game doesn't need to be English but there must be English language option available .

Currently there's no new DLL in the mod yet. Originally I was going to combine CCCP for BtS which would have DLL but since it hasn't been released yet, I'm open to suggestions - I'm no programmer so I would have to use DLL that someone else has made. In best case I'd like to get DLL that has plenty of new features that I could use. There are few things that would require new DLL: ranged bombardment, flying tag and civic screen that can display 8 categories with 9 options in each. But for now I can go without those features and just try to balance the mod as much as possible and I also play it myself now a lot - reason why I created in the first place was to get mod for myself that I like to play. ;)

the download is very slow...

I uploaded this to Rapidshare

Oooh nice, thanks. I hadn't noticed there was an option to change the language ingame. I was thinking about reinstalling everything in English :lol:

hey,
theres a 8 catagory screen over 10 options each in the dl data base.

:)

i like the cool units you addedd from the future mods in bts

Good news ! Its ok with cd of Vanilla Civ 4 + DVD of vanilla BTS :mischief:

Its not surprising...

I gave it a rather quick trial. Seems quite nice. I've noticed that you stretched the game's time and had an early start. I liked that a lot. I also like the new buildings I encountered so far. I hope some techs that are empty now get fleshed with buildings or units.

A minor bug is that the on map city bar seems missed-up as it shows incorrect icons. Resources and so are fine. I looked into the Game Font file but I can't see what is wrong with it.

About the DLL, I was thinking of merging Solver's patch with Dale's bombardment and maybe other SDK modifications. I am just waiting for Solver's patch to become somewhat final. For now it is almost updated daily.

If you have other things you like to include in the DLL just tell me and I will do it gladly. I already like your mod a lot and I think it is a very promising one.

Well, one thing I don't like about this mod is the 3 wonder limit on the cities, so I'm going to go destroy empires and make more of my cities.

I got a CTD when I was playing as the japanese empire and researched blood cult. I also want to say that I like this mod, it reminds me of Heart of Destiny Mod for Civ 3.

Try the giant and Gigantic map sizes. You shouldn't run out of cities to build whatever wonders you need.

(I just forgot to mention that I tried the giant map size - great addition)

When building a worker for the first time you are congratulated for obtaining your first armored unit! (funny but I guess it is a bug)

Any chance you could also write up a note for my wife, Zap, to explain why I now need to "test" Civ all weekend?

hey,
theres a 8 catagory screen over 10 options each in the dl data base.

:)

i like the cool units you addedd from the future mods in btsChecked dl database and didn't see it. I'll have to check for it again later unless you can provide me link for it. ;) I had almost working civic screen for 8 categories in Epic mod but getting it to display all texts properly seemed impossible without changes to DLL file. I tried using that python file in RoM (Rise of Mankind) but it just didn't work at all. So I postponed those civic changes to future versions.

Good news ! Its ok with cd of Vanilla Civ 4 + DVD of vanilla BTS :mischief:

Its not surprising...That's good news. I wasn't sure if it would work with just BtS as I have both expansions installed.

I gave it a rather quick trial. Seems quite nice. I've noticed that you stretched the game's time and had an early start. I liked that a lot. I also like the new buildings I encountered so far. I hope some techs that are empty now get fleshed with buildings or units.

A minor bug is that the on map city bar seems missed-up as it shows incorrect icons. Resources and so are fine. I looked into the Game Font file but I can't see what is wrong with it.

About the DLL, I was thinking of merging Solver's patch with Dale's bombardment and maybe other SDK modifications. I am just waiting for Solver's patch to become somewhat final. For now it is almost updated daily.

If you have other things you like to include in the DLL just tell me and I will do it gladly. I already like your mod a lot and I think it is a very promising one.Yeah, I stretched game time a bit. I've tried to add icons for most new buildings but some are still missing and most new buildings just re-use building graphics from existing buildings so cities won't look different with new building types. Empty techs will be filled at some point, for example I have about 20 new civic options to add when I get new working civic screen for that many options. There's also lots of stuff on my lists that haven't yet made into the mod.

I think I found reason for that messed up city bar - I've only changed GameFont.tga, I'll have to add GameFont75.tga as well. I just hate editing those files. New index value in xml for resources did help a bit but still it's difficult to mod those gamefonts. :(

I have no rush with adding DLL to the mod. One thing that I liked in CCCP's dll file was the added iCommerce options for health and happiness to all commerce tags. With those I could create more diverse civics and buildings. Another thing that is missing is that you can't use Power as requirement for health, happiness and so on. That could be new tag: <CommerceWithPower>. Maybe I'll make a list of things that might be useful in new DLL. I'll have to think about it. :)

Well, one thing I don't like about this mod is the 3 wonder limit on the cities, so I'm going to go destroy empires and make more of my cities.

I got a CTD when I was playing as the japanese empire and researched blood cult. I also want to say that I like this mod, it reminds me of Heart of Destiny Mod for Civ 3.Reason why there's that limit was the amount of new wonders added to the game in this mod and the limit prevents making huge culture cities. In real life also the wonders of the world are scattered around the globe so the limit is there for also realism - player shouldn't be able to build all wonders in a single city. The limit can be adjusted if people feel like that it's too low.

Try the giant and Gigantic map sizes. You shouldn't run out of cities to build whatever wonders you need.

(I just forgot to mention that I tried the giant map size - great addition)If you play on those new map sizes, I appreciate any feedback from them (with game difficulty and game speed options). There's few variables on those map sizes that might need recheck if players find them too easy / too difficult.

When building a worker for the first time you are congratulated for obtaining your first armored unit! (funny but I guess it is a bug)That's a bug for sure. I'll add it to fix list.

Any chance you could also write up a note for my wife, Zap, to explain why I now need to "test" Civ all weekend?

mNote to mrhyms' wife: If you let your husband play Civ this weekend, I'm sure he'll make it up to you next week with some kind of surprise. ;)

About GameFont file again. Some resources (I noticed Salt) don't have icons. I think maybe if they are added the city bar would be fixed as well. Rationally these are different sections of the file and shouldn't interfere with each other. But I can't find any other cause for the missed-up city bar. It seems as icons are used with an offset of two cells if there are two resources with missing icons this would be the answer.

Zapp - How did you arrive at your timeline numbers? Was is a direct translation of the original gamespec and subtracting turns based in increases in productivity gained through buildings/techs/etc and adding turns for the extra buildings/techs/etc available? Did you do any further tweaking?

Are the turn ratios analogous to BTS or Vanilla/Warlords?

I'm asking since, from what I have seen, the delicate balance (which was still a bit off IMHO) from Vanilla/Warlords has been thrown for a major loop with the seemingly arbitrary changes to turn numbers in BTS. This increase in game length does not seem to have been accounted for in any of the other major formulas of the game.

Anyhow this mod seems ambitious, and I intend to dig into it eventually.

Oh, and as to the languages...When I made my mod I just duplicated the english text for all languages... I did this based on a polling of the community 2 years ago in which I determined that most of the community would rather read english (even if it is not their second language) than the hashed up mess I was able to produce using online translators...heh.

wow already coverted to BtS nice! :goodjob:

Well I think the number of wonders should be paced up just 1 notch;)
Kinda irritating when you got ravaging barbarians at the door and hey youre only 3 rounds from gettin the Great wall but then you forget how many wonders you got in that city and make it a holy wonder of hinduism and boom you gotta start all over to build the wonder you were building because the limit;)
I usual play huge terra maps and i love the wonder bonuses. so im and "ind" and i got the urge for cities to fill with my wonders:D

yes is there a way to set the wonder limit back to unlimited (A)?
i hate playing with that limit on :P
just tell me were to change it in the files :D

under Rise of Mankind/assets/xml Open the file GlobalDefines.xml in Notepad

find the following

<Define>
<DefineName>MAX_WORLD_WONDERS_PER_CITY</DefineName>
<iDefineIntVal>3</iDefineIntVal>
</Define>

change 3 to -1

under Rise of Mankind/assets/xml Open the file GlobalDefines.xml in Notepad

find the following

<Define>
<DefineName>MAX_WORLD_WONDERS_PER_CITY</DefineName>
<iDefineIntVal>3</iDefineIntVal>
</Define>

change 3 to -1

thanks for that
i too want to be able to build many wonders in one city, mostly for when i try culture victories, i like to build them mainly in 3 cities to build up the culture for those 3

Sweet. Great mod. =D

Hm, didn't you forgot the new leaders from BTS ? ^^

Ok, i've tried a game with the mod.

I've reached 490 AD, and this is really wonderful ! The ancient times aren't moving at the light's speed anymore, there are lots of units that really enhance strategy and the gigantic map size allows the strategic ressources to be spread around so that you don't have everything near your first town.

However there is something that needs to be fixed about trade. I have loads of lemons that i can trade with the computer AI but ... He will never accept any agreement. Why ? Because the lemons are valueless, just as are coffee, coton and pearls (even if pearls may be a little usefull later in the game i guess).
You should add a health bonus or an happy face for those ressources to be tradable, and maybe include them in the ressources that buildings like markets use to improve the bonuses ;)

Just another thing, how does the game run with a gigantic map on your computers ? I've an Opteron X2 @2.5 ghz, 2 Gb of DDR1 @250 mhz and a Radeon X1950XT (a former high end computer so) and during a turn it's quite playable, but not really fluid. And when switching from one turn to another it becomes a nightmare, i've never seen the game lagging that way :eek:

This in fact a very great mod!
Play it once to get used to the new unit\building\techs then after that all the next games you play is gonna kick ass;)

Great mod! 8+\10 from me;)

Only miss the little factor thats in the mod Extra(I believe) that you could se a smiley face beside the other nations how they feel about you;)

Nice to track who's you friends;D

Seconded! Its hard enough to track everyone with 10+ civs.

@ Strat I have a Athlon 2800 with a 9800 pro and i run a giant map. It has a long(er) waiting time between turns and when a leader contacts you there is some lag. But its doable. I think its not the map size but the amount of civs?
Wouldnt even have tried this pre-BtS i think the speed mod was added to BtS, not sure.

Some things i noticed:

Researching the normal way without specializing wont get you anywhere in this mod. You have to set certain cities to either mint or research. I dont know if this is intended or not.

Caravans lets you see whats being produced in a foreign city, you can even hurry the production. A city of mine on an island had its health resources connected but not its happy rescourses. This is before cities are connected via ocean. I could land a settler there via another civs territory by galley so that would also imply trade is possible no?

Crusaders exploring rival territory this could be a posible exploit, just build a bunch put them behind enemy lines and declare war.

catapults didnt do damage against a city of mine which had walls, castle and high walls.

Also if possible could there be some early version of cannon? 12 seems a bit too steep. coming from medieval units. mortar perhaps?

Nice to see those wardogs upgradable! :goodjob:

Really enjoying the mod thanks for all the hard work!

I like the units and the new additions, but I hope you can incorporate the latest unit creations as well.

The ethiopian Oromo warrior doesnt need sulphur. Its the UU that replaces the musketman.

Whats the red dot on the city bar? connected to trade network? Its annoying for me at least.

Who wants to build a brothel the neg is bigger that the happy face. Some buildings that give a happy face arent available until later and the choice buildings which give are happy face are funny :0

The upgrade from heavy swordsman to rifle is 80. From musketman to rifle its 110 that doesnt make sense. How is it calculated anyway amount of hammers ?

I CTD 'ed when i clicked the link to shaft mine in the biology tech popup.

Oh and Hannibal or William of Orange can use a color change when they are in the game together you cant make out the borders.

back to the game...

Also if possible could there be some early version of cannon? 12 seems a bit too steep. coming from medieval units. mortar perhaps?


An early "bombard" unit would work for this, say around strength 10... sounds great. There are graphics for one in the File DB by woodelf, I believe.

the download is very slow...

I uploaded this to Rapidshare

http://rapidshare.com/files/49608317/RiseOfMankind0.8.zip

Are you, by any chance, the owner of Rapidshare? I just couldn't help but notice that virtually all of your posts are uploads to Rapidshare. :lol:

Great mod, however for me it runs toooo slooow on the two new map sizes.
Also, I think the civic addition sucks. I agree that we need a better system, the system you use seems to further complicate things with several silly ways to implement civics. [State property doesn't inherently mean less GP, etc...]

Got to 1932 (in industrial era) then i crashed (twice so i gave it up). I played a giant map 18 civs. I dont know what caused it. I can send you the savegame if you like.

Screw propeller only has an icon shown for ironclad and not transport and early destroyer.

Heavy pikeman upgrades to nothing.

i loaded the mod but when i played it, it is still the regular game. what am i doing wrong?
nvm

wrchamp14,
hi, you probably have dual folders of the mod,

make sure the mod is like this under you bts folder:

mods\riseofmankind\ mod files.....

i think your is like this:
mods\riseofmankind\riseofmankind\ mod files......


**leif, freakeave,

i suggest you guys play on large maps, on huge,

bigger maps with tons of added mod componants - make a lot of burdun to the memory of the cpu,
thus too much stuff - youll get a ctd,
this mod is impressive with its additions, but, its need to be carfully tested - so i suggest play small maps quick games -so youll help fuknd the bugs fast.

:)
besides, its a great mod, lots of cool stuff, havnt played it though,
goodluck :)

The siege weapons in the early day with 12 str(cannon) is not overrated.
Its just about enough to actually get something done with those loveguns.

And another thing I miss from the mod Extra(I guess) is the notice 1 turn before if a city is gonna grow and if that city is gonna be unhappy.
My main problem is that I have to check each city for about 5 turn intervall if they gonna grow and if they gonna be unhappy when they do so.

Kinda annoying to check into a couple of town to do that when you have a nice feature that Extra have;)

But otherwise I just simple love this mod;) even tough all the Ai dont even touch the religion techs. and another thing. I like the christian way of life so I want to get to Theology fast as possible but on the way I have to have allmost each of the early religions.

Anyway to make Theology some other req techs?

Hi Man,

Interesting, very interesting mod. A good one ! :)

Just a note: Total Realism Team members aren't those you write in credits.:p
As a member, i only suggest you to write: TR Team. ;)

Hian the Frog.

Any strategy of early grow??? what i have to do with 1 pop citie for a long time?
I can figure in civilopedia when my cities will grow up..

Excellent mod... im enjoing it..

Well place your town close to water and have the fishing tech and set the town to grow. when you build settlers\workers you use all food to produce them so in the start if you want growth build something or produce scouts\warriors.

If you really want to grow get near water as said and produce some work boats to harvest fish,crab,pearls etc and remember fishing boat isnt like worker it doesnt need food to be produced. or at least it doesnt stall the food process

Ok, you are right thanks,!!!!
Im testing the mod... it has a lot of changes.. i like civics !!!

Thank you so much for a great mod.

this mod avoid the early unit rush to kill your closest neigthbour...
there are a lot of buildings to build... but i affraid that if you build all of them your are going to be backward in military or in expansion of your empire..
any strategies?

Hallo,
i have a Prob. with sulfur. It never reveals on the map when I discover the Tech.:eek:
Every Time I have to put it on the map by myself with the Worldbuilder. I have BTS v. 3.03.

In the Overlord 2 Mod i have the same Prob. with sulfur and rubber.

Any ideas?:confused:

Yes inbetween turns that thought appeared to me aswell. :lol:

To come back to mrhooci's problem, if you play on small maps then the rescource spread is even worse. I have the feelling all these new resources arent incorporated in to the map seed properly since all the new rescources arent as abundant as the originals. (Noticed in earlier games/mods) Hence mrhooci's problem.

Before i restart on a small map ill check in the worldbuilder first (note to self)

It just seems that a napoleon era cannon coming from the renaissance is a bit too much. In the end its all abstract i know.

Dont you have the option checked "advanced city view" or something lets you see growth and whats its building. Also there are more options to warn you for a city going unhappy next turn. Dont shoot me if i say anyting you already know just trying to help.

I found that you best specialize your cities with this mod. I fell behind in tech pretty quikly on prince diff.

Which reminds me that even the most smalles civs are getting on to par with techs which annoyes me alot. Maybe a system ala VISA where you get tech leak? and a small amount when you conquer a city?

I play always on huge maps, and some new recources reveal at many places on the map - natural gas for example from the overlord 2 mod. But sulfur or rubber is never on the map ....

I carry on posting my testing impressions ;)

1°) There is something wrong with the bonuses against bombardment. Wall (30%) + high wall (50%) + Castle (25%) = 105%. The siege weapons stop to be effective and the AI armies stay stuck in front of a city trying to destroy a wall they can't destroy ... There are 2 solutions :
- decrease the bonuses so that it cannot be over 90-95% with all buildings
- Add an instruction to the AI so that it tries another city if it has no gunpowder siege weapons or try massives attack without bombardements in that case.

2°) Crossbowmen requiring Iron ??? Why ? I know the bow of heavy crossbows is made of steel, but it can be made of wood too, and that unit could be really useful for ironless civilizations to survive ;)

3°) The canon should appear later. At the place it has it's an overkill, blowing almost everything. And it should require sulphur to be built too, not only iron.

4°) There should be an early canon appearing at the tech "invention", the bombard. Requiring iron/cooper + sulphur, maybe a strengh of 6-7 with a good bonus against towns (it was very long to set in position, so really usefull only against fortifications ;) )
And then, maybe sulphur could appear not at "gunpowder" tech but for exemple at a new tech called "alchemy", coming sooner, maybe near "guilds" (just a though that needs improvements, as revealing sulphur at another tech means "gunpowder" becomes useless) :king:

I play always on huge maps, and some new recources reveal at many places on the map - natural gas for example from the overlord 2 mod. But sulfur or rubber is never on the map ....

I recall sulfur and rubber being optional in a mod whose name slips me at this moment so maybe it wasnt activated? but then i had sulfur in my game.
Anyway just thinking out loud :)

G'day, great mod, love the tech tree and all the buildings.

Pikemen arn't replaced by or upgrade to heavy pike.
Heavy pike don't upgrade.
Gunpowder units don't get bonuses from barracks, meeting hall or garrison but these buildings don't become obsolete so you still have to pay for them :)

Gunpowder units don't get bonuses from barracks, meeting hall or garrison but these buildings don't become obsolete so you still have to pay for them :)

There is no maintenance costs for buildings unless specified ;)

Wow..... I'm not sure if I was tired, but I found it really complex to know what I was doing! :lol: The limit to Wonders really threw me! ;)

Anyway - great job and thanks for the hard work on this Zappara - it's much appreciated!

Wow, lots of posts. I'm waiting now internet connection to be opened at my home and it should be opened any day now. I just red all the posts but unfortunately can't reply to them all yet. I'll reply to them as soon as possible. :)

Meanwhile, I've been digging into the event system and I'm beginning to understand how it all works. Made some adjustments to most events because of new resources/buildings/units etc. Also the civics have been changed and there's 2 new civic categories and there's new options as well in the existing categories.

I'll try to fix all those things that you've posted and hopefully I have a patch ready in a week.

About GameFont file again. Some resources (I noticed Salt) don't have icons. I think maybe if they are added the city bar would be fixed as well. Rationally these are different sections of the file and shouldn't interfere with each other. But I can't find any other cause for the missed-up city bar. It seems as icons are used with an offset of two cells if there are two resources with missing icons this would be the answer.I fiddled again with gamefont files as well. There's definately something odd going on. When I added gamefont_75.tga file the fish bonus went missing as well on city screen. I have no idea what causes issue there.

Well I think the number of wonders should be paced up just 1 notch;)I'll increase it by 1. I have met the 3 limit to be bit problem as well in my own games.

However there is something that needs to be fixed about trade. I have loads of lemons that i can trade with the computer AI but ... He will never accept any agreement. Why ? Because the lemons are valueless, just as are coffee, coton and pearls (even if pearls may be a little usefull later in the game i guess).
You should add a health bonus or an happy face for those ressources to be tradable, and maybe include them in the ressources that buildings like markets use to improve the bonuses

And when switching from one turn to another it becomes a nightmare, i've never seen the game lagging that way :eek:I'll look into those resources. They were supposed to be added to different buildings to give happiness/health.

I usually run on huge map with marathon game speed and on Prince difficulty level as I try to balance this mod for huge map and marathon speed. I added 2 bigger map types just because I know there's people with high end computers and who just like to have big maps (was friend's request).

Hm, didn't you forgot the new leaders from BTS ? ^^Aren't they there? Or do you mean some leaders from the BTS scenarios/mods?

Only miss the little factor thats in the mod Extra(I believe) that you could se a smiley face beside the other nations how they feel about you

Nice to track who's you friends;DOh, that's good feature. I'll try to add it some point.

Really enjoying the mod thanks for all the hard work!Yeah, you must specialize your cities in this mod.

Crusaders will change at some point. There was supposed to be religion specific crusader units but it's been time issue with all the additions. Currently it's just converted from Epic mod.

I've been experimenting with upgradeable building lines which means that walls upgrade to high walls and when High walls is finished normal Walls is going to be disabled in the city. Same will happen with Harbor->Port->Commercial Port->International Port and with some other buildings as well. There's still few bugs left in the system and once I have them fixed I can add this feature completely to the mod.

By the way, when you said that you catapults didn't do any damage, did you attack with them directly ie. tried to move catapult to city or did you bombard city defenses? Bombarding should decrease city defenses.

I had Bombard unit on my to-do-units list, just hadn't found any graphics files for it before the initial release. So yes there will be new siege unit type between trebuchet and cannon. Modern time Mortars would be nice addition as well - I served in mortar troops during my army time so I know great deal about those units. ;)

I like the units and the new additions, but I hope you can incorporate the latest unit creations as well.I will, once I get that internet line open at my home. I have been visiting my cousin and "loaned" his internet connection to download mods and upload my own mods.. he's probably relieved when I'm not going to visit him every second day. :D

The ethiopian Oromo warrior doesnt need sulphur. Its the UU that replaces the musketman.

back to the game...Brothel building had it's effects changed in the conversion since I hadn't DLL in the mod anymore. CCCP's DLL in the warlords added some new xml tags to buildings and Brothel were using them. Effects for that building will be changed later again.

I'll fix the Oromo Warrior and I'll check the upgrade costs as well. I'm not sure how they are calculated but it's probably related to unit hammer cost.


An early "bombard" unit would work for this, say around strength 10... sounds great. There are graphics for one in the File DB by woodelf, I believe.Thanks, I'll get that unit and add it. :)

Also, I think the civic addition sucks. I agree that we need a better system, the system you use seems to further complicate things with several silly ways to implement civics. [State property doesn't inherently mean less GP, etc...]Any suggestions what would be good effects for State Property? Or any other civic options?


Screw propeller only has an icon shown for ironclad and not transport and early destroyer.

Heavy pikeman upgrades to nothing.Transport and Early destroyer can be built on later techs - Screw propeller is just one tech requirement for those units.

And another thing I miss from the mod Extra(I guess) is the notice 1 turn before if a city is gonna grow and if that city is gonna be unhappy.
My main problem is that I have to check each city for about 5 turn intervall if they gonna grow and if they gonna be unhappy when they do so.

Anyway to make Theology some other req techs?Seems I have to download this Extra mod and see what's in it. ;) I usually set my cities to "Turn on avoid growth" when I notice that they are going to get unhappy. I guess you could try that as well.

I haven't found any religions yet in my games. I play always with random civ and I guess a religious one hasn't been yet my civ. But I've noticed that religions have been found usually all around the map and around "the correct" times which was one of the things I wanted to have in this mod. Downside was indeed that religious techs are bit linear techs now. If you have good ideas how to edit requirements for those techs, I'm all ears.

Hi Man,

Interesting, very interesting mod. A good one ! :)

Just a note: Total Realism Team members aren't those you write in credits.:p
As a member, i only suggest you to write: TR Team. ;)

Hian the Frog.Noted. I'll change it. I guess the version I had was from early this year and haven't checked how that mod has changed past 6 months.

Every Time I have to put it on the map by myself with the Worldbuilder. I have BTS v. 3.03.

In the Overlord 2 Mod i have the same Prob. with sulfur and rubber.

Any ideas?:confused:What map type are you using? At least Great Plains map type doesn't know how to add those new resources to the map.

Which reminds me that even the most smalles civs are getting on to par with techs which annoyes me alot. Maybe a system ala VISA where you get tech leak? and a small amount when you conquer a city?Yup, tech leak would be nice feature to have. Probably will be added if I someday get DLL file for this mod.

Gunpowder units don't get bonuses from barracks, meeting hall or garrison but these buildings don't become obsolete so you still have to pay for them :)Ups, I have to check those buildings. Those should go obsolete when gunpowder units become common (infantry). Garrison should give bonus to Gunpowder units. I'll check those pikemen units too.

Thanks for the long update. Looking forward to the weekend. There are many new units to incorporate. :)

Also, can you check the requirements for ocean faring transport ships. It has been 200 years since I discovered a new continent, but I cannot send settlers.

And there's a repeating CTD around 1200AD just before the discovery of gunpowder. After the crash, my desktop screen resolution and color balance is messed up. I need to restart the computer.

Seems I have to download this Extra mod and see what's in it. ;) I usually set my cities to "Turn on avoid growth" when I notice that they are going to get unhappy. I guess you could try that as well.


Btw very nice of you to listen to us gamers about stuff;)

Yeah that is what im doing to but then I have to check each city about how much it can handle before the people gets pissed off about space etc;)
Nice with a little heads up like "London is growing to 23 population next turn" followed by "London's citizents are gonna be unhappy next turn" or London's citizents are gonna be unhealty next turn"

And thanks again for a great mod!:goodjob:

Is there a reason Representation doesn't give +2 happy?

Another problem about trade (but maybe not coming from the mod, i don't remember my very old games on Civ4 ;) )

The computer IA refuses to trade strategic ressources such as Iron and Horses, even if i have very good relationships with him, and even if i offer the skin of my a*s + enough money / turn to buy an empire :eek:
I'm playing the game at Emperor level, so i expect that unfriendly neighbours won't trade that, and it will be expensive with the others. But none of the 17 AI players accepts trading those ressources. And on the other hand they will trade my copper or my sulphur almost for free ...

I also saw an event happening "the Americans are going to help their French friends in their war effort by providing them strategic ressources supply", but actually nothing happened, they didn't give me anything, and when i tried to make a deal no way to obtain iron :(

edit: I've just noticed a funny (bug ?) with the brothel ... In the IA's cities it's giving +26 happy faces / library, university etc ... :lol:

You are right about garrisons, barracks and meeting halls.

Swordmen upgrade to macemen and heavy sword but not light sword. You can still build swordmen up until you get the tech for heavy sword.

None of this makes me stop playing :)

When building a worker for the first time you are congratulated for obtaining your first armored unit! (funny but I guess it is a bug)

In addition, you are congratulated to have built your first naval unit :p

I'm just in the first turns now, but it looks quite promising! Keep up the good work! :goodjob:

I haven't yet found any reasons why they won't trade them. It might be some wrong value in some xml tag - just have to find it and fix it (if it's that kind of bug).

I have no idea why that event didn't give resource to you but I'll try to locate that event and see what it actually does.. might be bug in python code that handles events (new resources not added to events yet).

That brothel bug is odd indeed. I have checked that building's xml tags and it is set to give happiness to Barracks, Harbor, Port and Carthage Cothon. Why it gives happiness to library or university is a mystery to me.

You are right about garrisons, barracks and meeting halls.

Swordmen upgrade to macemen and heavy sword but not light sword. You can still build swordmen up until you get the tech for heavy sword.Those are fixed in version 0.9.
