I didn't know where to really ask this so I put it here.

I'm not a modder of any type, but I was wondering how I could help improve RoM besides giving you feedback.

Hmm.. well, I could use some help with strategy and quote texts, since those are still missing for almost all new things. This doesn't require any modding skills as you would just provide text that I then copy&paste to right objects.

Another thing if you are interested in history, is to go through different civilizations history and look for historical unit types. I like to add as many as possible these to make Civs feel more unique. When find something good information, provide link for it in discussions on this forum so I can check it up (I do read a lot ;)). Ancient unit types are preferred as info about those is harder to find (I can check Tank/Plane types for each Civ pretty easily).

You can suggest some mod components as well, I don't have time to check everything the community has made so some cool components might have passed by my "sensors". Adding new feature from mod components is bigger task usually so I might skip some components - I prefer to add components that enhance gameplay in way or another.

Well I'm glad that I can help you but one question.

For what would you like for me to get quotes for?

features list updated to v2.3 changes.

feature list update to v2.4 changes

Is there a detailed feature list available somewhere? I am specifically looking for a list of the new civs and new wonders. I just cannot figure out which ones are new and which ones are old for some of them.

This (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=265594) could be very long to put in, but worth it, because it would take RoM unit graphics to new level. I was a little surprised that I tried to play with Aztecs (ussualy play with Romans) and their GP was the same. Well this mod changes GP and much much much more. ;)

Added some screenshots

Please update the feature list.
I'm so curiuse, and also it's relevant information for the starters.
(Also mention the numer of RoM modmods.)

(Also mention the numer of RoM modmods.)I've updated the feature list after each RoM release and will do so again once v2.8 is ready for release.

Not sure where to post, I have a new computer utilizing Windows Vista. I cannot get your Mod to extract from WinRar. When I highlight folder and hit extract, I get a WinRAR diagnostic error box with 3 errors.
1. Cannot Open path folder
2. The system cannot find the file specified
3. No files to extract.
Can you help as I enjoyed your Mod on my last computer which was Windows XP.
Also do I need to make any changes to virtual memory or other to have mod play faster and stable.
Thanks for your help!

7z works well

Yep, this is a personal favorite of mine. Great app.

I apologize if this isn't the correct place to post this, but you mention in your features list an extra civ addon pack with 55 additional civs. Can somebody point me to where this download is available? I apologize if it is obvious but I seem to be missing it in the forums.

Thanks!

I think the extra civ pack is currently incompatible with the latest version. Some of them have been included in the bulk of the game though, but not much. Corrrect me if I'm wrong somebody.

Thanks!Info about the extra civ addon pack can be found from this thread. (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=273618) While the current version was made for RoM 2.71 it should work with RoM 2.8 as well (at least it works on my computer) but some settings are incorrect and I'm currently in the process of updating the addon pack to RoM 2.8 settings.

Feature list updated to v2.9 changes

Maybe incl. Vincentz Mods in the list (unless you have taken them out ofcourse ;))

Maybe incl. Vincentz Mods in the list (unless you have taken them out ofcourse ;))Oh, of course I'll add them to the list. Don't know how I missed them when checking what to add to feature list.

Hello there,

I m quite impressed about the weather conditions-i m talking about storms.
is there any way to add them in my mod?

Hello there,

I m quite impressed about the weather conditions-i m talking about storms.
is there any way to add them in my mod?To add storms you'd have to add new terrain feature (graphics are among BtS files) and then edit just about every mapscript in order to get the storm feature spawned when map is generated. RoM also has random events that make new storms just in case if the all storms disappear over time from map. Though in latest versions the storm generation has been decreased a lot as it was slowing down the turns when there was lots of storms on the oceans.

I downloaded 2.92, and I seem to have everything, apart from the new leaders for default civilizations.

Is something wrong?

Great mod.
Though in my humblest opinion it would benefit from including the option to hide units standing in cities. I saw an easy solution here (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?p=6366767#post6366767).

Won't be included in RoM unless it is included in RevDCM because RoM modder (Zappara) doesn't mod in C++. It may be included in AND or C2C if you suggest it there.

I don't have room for that many mods, so I've decided to download either RoM or Total Realism. However, I can't decide between the two...I like how RoM incorporates several different mods AND has more unique religions and corporations, but I'm a bit overwhelmed by its future eras and insanely huge scale.

I like the relative simplicity of TR, however, it's not as compatible with other mods as I'd like it to be. Which one should I choose? :confused:
