Special Aknowledgement:

Coming 1.61 CivPatch compatible Release: (May 9th 2006)
------------------------------------------------------
We are making very good progress and just for your information:
- The XML files are now 100% 1.61 compatible
- The Python files are now 90% complete.

We have added plenty of new mods like the Slave Mod, Creative Trait Mod, Military Leader Mod, Modified TechConquest Mod, Updated Cultural Decay Mod, upgraded Great Person Mod, Animal Mod and much more to come inclusive new Black African Warriors, new Settlers, new Nuclear Submarine model, new UU for France and some other Civs. New Units in general etc.

Very good news; since we have not just made our Mod compatible with 1.61, just to make it run and keep everyone happy, but rather starting from scratch and considered all changes the developers have done and inserted out modifications back to the new files. With this approach nothing has been left out. e.g. Music if there is a peace treaty etc.
Since we have redone all the python codes we have discovered some skeletons in the closet. Few very old and outdated mods that caused a loop problem after each turn. This was the reason why Realism Mod was slower than competitors. The new Mod is much faster than the Mod 1.09.

Just to keep you updated. We are working hard and are waiting for some models to be finished by Rabbit White and some new Mods and SDK Mod mergings by our freelancer 12Monkeys. Meanwhile we are still finetuning the whole timeline Techs and Units once again and implement the last important mods. Stay tuned and be patient since the Mod of the Mods is awaiting you soon.

Enjoy!

Important Note
This Mod is not yet 1.61 compatible, but I assure you we have put 2x more improvements in the game than version 1.61 did to 1.52. To be able to use the new patch AND still play this MOD you have to make a Dual install

Dual install is pretty easy.

1. Copy "Sid Meier's Civilization IV" in Program Files/Firaxis Games, to "Sid Meier's Civilization IV v1.52".
2. Rename "Sid Meier's Civilization IV" in My Documents/My Games, to "Sid Meier's Civilization IV v1.52".
3. Install the patch.
4. Run from one directory or the other to get the version you want. You'll also be able to install mods separately for the two versions, save games will be separate for the two versions, etc. The new version will have a clean install with no mods, which is probably what you want (since many old mods won't work).

Though if you have you already installed the patch you can rename the game folder to V1.61 then reinstall the game and update to to old patch, then rename that to V1.52 and change the V1.61 back to the original folder name.

You can now download the whole Mod as one file from the country you are from:
http://civ4mods.sourceforge.net/realism/index.html
We ONLY use this Forum as communication platform between Fans and us. Do not use the Forum in the SourceForge!

No problem here
A little suggestion... if the size-increase isn't too much what about make the archive self-extracting ?

Civilization 4's - Realism:The Third Resurrection
by Houman

If you've been following the Realism:Resurrected Mod thread then you know I've picked up the development of further releases.

ToDo List for v0.65

- Adding Abbamouse's Realistic Religious Mod: (status 95% done)
http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=141585

- More realistic Unit balancing
Based on Fanatic Demon's Idea
http://forums.civfanatics.com/showpost.php?p=3540998&postcount=54

Code:

- All artilery units gain 25% advantage versus soft infantry targets (meglee, anchers, firearm unirs)
All cavalry units gain 25% bonus siege units, (making them more effective defending or artacking siege units)
- All firearm units gain 25% bonus city attack (making them realisticly more effective assaulying cities)
- Crossbowman gain 25% bonus vs Knights (crossbow bols could easily penetrade armor knights)
-Longbowman gains 25% bonus vs anchery units when attacking (missile bombardment)
- Swordman gains 25% bonus versus Anchers (making them more effective attacking ancher located in cities then macemen)
- War elephant gain trapling bonus (max 3 unit calateral damage) making them more effective agains stacks
- Horse ancher +50% more effective versus War elephants (Dhendis Khan defeated persian War elephants with ease by running in circles around elephanhts)

This ideas will be modified to reach even more realism.

- Adding the real Persian Immortal Unit and removing this horribly-mounted-historically-totally-inaccurate-type of Immortal in vanilla Civ4. (I don't understand CIV4's History Research team - if they had to model an Immortal, why don't they research what an Immortal was about? Is it that hard?)

- Adding a real World map. I have picked so far the Earth_realism V.1.3 If you know of any more realistic but still not too huge and playable worldmap, please write down your comment.

What does "Increased BASE_REVOLT_FREE_UNITS to 2, from 1." mean ?

Does anyone know what the exact meaning of iCollateralDamageLimit is?

I think it defines how much damage the unit can do other units via collateral damage. so 75 means that you can them them down to 25% health.

@ acantoni
Maybe a self extract would be a good idea. It adds 100KB to the file, but still is 1.9 MB smaller than the ZIP file. Thanks for the idea.


@Junter

"Increased BASE_REVOLT_FREE_UNITS to 2, from 1."

This is a change that has been done before my time. Maybe Kristine can explain it. I don't know what it is either.


@[to_xp]Gekko

I hope you are right. The catapult has a value of 50. i have to test this to see, which way around an increase would affect a stack of unit.

I think is the minimum number of units a city gets when it revolts. And they are free to the new civilization.

The cities can become indipendent state ???

It seems I found the answer:

iCollateralDamageLimit = Percentage Collateral Damage Unit is allowed to do (100 means you can destroy units using Collateral Damage)

Perhaps you've heard of patience, junter. It's a virtue.

The revolution referred to is that one which happens prior to cultural flipping and these cities wind up as either yours or your opponents, depending on the direction of flip, of course.

Reading the manual can possibly substantially enhance your understanding of the game.

Thanks for following this thread guys.

Regarding the Realism Map; I have already taken the map and placed all the new resources. I am testing it right now. My idea was to put each new resource in its original place. e.g. Potato and Coffee comes from South America, Lemon comes from Iran while Cotton comes from India.

If anyone has more information where to place the following new resources according to their origin please help me: I know that nowadays every country has its own potatoes, but if we place each resource everywhere, AI won't trade anymore with you. So stick with the country of origin please:

Cannabis
Coffee
Cotton
Lemon
Pearls
Potato
Salt
Sulphur

Regarding forbidding other maps, well some people might to like to play generated maps rather than the Earth map. I know I don't understand them either.

Hello

I like this mod, but this feature is bad:" No City Razing defaulted to true. I dont like this option. You should be forced to deal with a capture."
Could this be turned off, or can city be destroyed after capture, or is destroying own cities possible at all?

Sorry for my noobisness. Im quite new at civ 4, though old veteran with other civs.

The question is valid. Razing a city was indeed possible and would make it more realistic from my point of view.

1) I was actually looking for the option where this can be turned on and off. Can someone help me finding it?

The reason is, I am not sure if the Razing is still forbidden. As far as I remember I was given the possibility to raze a city upon capture. I haven't tried to raze any city yet.

2) Can the testers give any comment please?

Thanks
Houman
