AAranda's mods for 2.8 (some of them)

TO INSTALL:

It is MOSTLY modular , all you have to do is place the "AAranda" folder inside your RoM modules folder ( if it is not the
first module you install from me , just open AAranda folder and copy everything inside to your existng AAranda folder in RoM)
, wich is inside "assets". Inside modules folder you will find 1 file already existing in the original , just replace them.
When unzipped , you'll find other folder "PYTHON" , inside "assets". JUST OPEN FOLDERS AND REPLACE THE DOCUMENTS INSIDE THEM
IN YOUR RISE OF MANKIND MOD.

This mod adds a few units to the RoM world, but i thougth them will be quite interesting to be included as them provide the possibility to bombard city defenses earlier, build hammers using food, make enterteineer unit able to use at all eras and gives you the chance to kill those annoying medic units healing enemies troops just at you city's door.
Have a look.

The following were removed as they are part of another modmod - Dancing Hoskuld while upgrading this to RoM 2.8

3 EXTRAS JUST IF YOU'RE FREEK ENOUGH:

-GIANT TURTLE barbarian SEA ANIMAL , but it must be placed manually , does not appear on its own like land animals
.SORRY

-GIANT SQUID barbarian SEA ANIMAL , but it must be placed manually , does not appear on its own like land animals
.SORRY

-SEASNAKE barbarian SEA ANIMAL , but it must be placed manually , does not appear on its own like land animals

I did not include some of the movies in the pack due to space limitations. Some of these are available in Wonder Movies by Arian see post #3 for an alphabetical list.

• Blue Mosque goes in the Islam/cutscene folder
• Solomon's Temple goes in the Judaism/cutscene folder
• Toltec Pyramid goes in the Nagualismo/cutscene folder
• Ishtar's Gate goes in the Zoroasterism/cutscene folder

They need to replace a static movie already in the folder so make sure they end up with the same name.

I am not sure yet where AAranda got the movies for Qaboos and Templo Mayor.

FIXED FROM PREVIOUS VERSIONS:

Version 2.8 and 2.81 of RoM (Dancing Hoskuld)

Made each religion modular so that you can choose which religions you want in the current game. This only applies to new religions not the RoM religions.

Moved the help, strategy and pedia text out of the various XML files into a GameText file to allow for language support.

Changed the AI options in the XML for the Druidic and Animistic religions so that they work better. basically I added the MISSIONARY option to each religions missionary unit so that they would spread their religion.

Found and added some graphics. Added sounds for Andean, Asartu, Mesopotamian, Shinto and Tengei.

Problem: Not all of AAranda's changes were modular some of them required replacing the code in the base files. While this is still possible for straight RoM installations it is not for the "A New Dawn" project extensions to RoM since they also change the base RoM files and coordination is a problem. There is a feature "coming soon" which should allow the replacement to be done in a modular fashon. In the mean time I will provide the new buildings for the standard RoM religions but leave the other adjustments out.

PRODUCTIONS BONUS ON CATHEDRALS
As this versions adds 15% extra production bonus to build cathedrals from every religion with differents resources , i 've

MATSUMOTO CASTLE
As Zappara has included himeji castle ( wich was one of shinto's unique wonders in religions mod previous versions ) as a new
