I personally think the Goths are more suiting for a Fall of Rome scenario, but I think they will be added when the 18 civ limit is removed.

hmm... will there be a 24 limit with warlords? or none at all? hopefully the latter.

Well, I'm not sure if it will be removed completely, but I think I heard that you at least will be able to play 24 Civs at once. This must be done to be able to play all the 24 vanilla civs after Warlords on one map.

I never play huge maps now, because I think that 18 civs is to little to fill those maps. I guess 24 + will be awesome for the huge sized maps!

[Nanocyborgasm]

Is it reasonable to assume that this latest version of TAM is essentially complete with little but a few bugs to work out?

[thamis]

Yes, that's how it is. It works perfectly fine, we're just working on the fine tuning and some minor missing text entries.

[davbenbak]

Just posting so that I can get notices when the forum is updated. P.S. just got warlords and can't wait for a TAM compatable mod.

wahhh...
customgame on warlords; only 18 civ can be put in

is there no way this can be modded?

[thamis]

Either Dale or Rhye have modded warlords to allow for 32 civs.

We'll finish up the normal CIV4 version first and then move on to warlords. Finishing up means that we'll fix up graphics and text, and do some more gameplay balance tweaks.

wow. excellent! i can do a 32 counties of ireland scenario now...
either dale or rhye, i salute you!

[Drtad]

What civs are going to be added since the cap has been removed?

[thamis]

Version 1.95 posted, get it at the TAM website as always.

[Eddiit]

I downloaded the scenario and extracted to my civ 4 file as instucted. I'm running version 1.6.1.1841 and I cant seem to get the scenario to work. I get numerous errors as the mod is loading. I manage to get as far as the civ selection screen but after there is a critical error and civ shuts down. Am I running the wrong version of civ? Is it supposed to be for warlords? Any advice?

[thamis]

Are you sure you extracted the MOD into your MAIN civ4 folder, NOT into the mods folder? That's what it sounds like to me. It's not for warlords, but for normal civ.

[Eddiit]

Actually I think it may be a problem with civ itself. I'm reistalling. If it doesnt work ill let you know. I did install it correctly though.
