About the mod

The Goal

This mod is my attempt to enhance Civilization 4 to a whole new level. This completely free "Expansion pack" keeps the basic Beyond the Sword game mechanics but converts them to much more complex system which makes this modpack to feel like it's completely new game.

Ever since Civilization 1 I've liked this series a lot but during Civ 3 I found mods Double Your Pleasure and bit later Rise and Rule which made the game be so much more fun than before that when finally Civ 4 was released, I felt disappointed as it didn't offer as much as did DYP or RAR. Civ 4 had some new elements like religion and civic system (like in Alpha Centauri) but I wanted more techs, more units, more complexicity so I began working on my own mod. I started by going through most of the popular mods and check what's been done already and then by using those mods loosely as my guide, I created this mod.

The Concept

This mod is specifically designed for myself and I continue to make changes to the direction that I feel like is correct and which make me like more this game. Aim of the mod is to be more accurate historically which is why the whole tech tree has been redone and many new techs has been added. New techs meant much more room for new buildings and for new units and adding those was my next step. Once I had added most techs, units and buildings it came clear to me that I need to redo unit categories, promotions and change many unit abilities so that more modern units are really superior to older unit types. Note that now you must consider more carefully what to build in city because the number of different buildings has increased so much and because you are now limited to 4 World Wonders per city. I used most of my freetime past three years to make this mod so there are numerous changes compared to original game but I didn't keep record of every little change - you'll have to check Civilopedia entries for all the changes. Players' feedback will help me improve this mod and find the correct balance for everything so please post to Rise of Mankind forums if you notice things in the mod that need some tweaking.

Features

Because the modpack contains now numerous other mods the feature amount has grown steadily over the years. The first thing you'll notice when you start a new game is that there's new map sizes and new game speeds. Giant and Gigantic map sizes give more room for larger empires and for more players but the downside is that these map sizes require quite a lot from your computer so you should only try these maps if you have high-end computer, preferably with 64bit operating system.

When the game starts you'll notice the next improvement which is the interface changes. In Rise of Mankind the interface is fully customizeable through BUG options which you can access by clicking BUG button on top left of the screen or hitting CTRL+ALT+O. The options have been divided into different pages and if you hover your mouse pointer over any option, you'll see help tips for them. Experiment with the settings and change the game look to your own liking.

In Custom Game menu if you scroll down the options list you'll see that there's several new game options. Most of these options are on by default: Revolutions, Inquisitions, Barbarian Civs, Dynamic Civ Names, Tech Diffusion. Rising Seas and Barbarian World options are off by default.

Transhuman Era

Transhuman Era is a new game era between Modern Era and the Future tech. The new era contains many present day and near future techs which give access to the most powerful mech, robot and nanite units and to all kinds of new buildings and wonders. In making the new Transhuman era I used Galactic Civilization and Alpha Centauri games as guides so if you've played those games you'll notices similarities. To keep it bit more realistic, I've gone through dozens of science articles and science websites to look info about near future techs. Many of the new techs are based on real life research and many transhuman era units are based on prototypes that exists today in our world.

Game length

I recommend playing this mod on Marathon game speed and on huge map size. I prefer making custom game and use Smartmap mapscript for making good continental maps. Mod has also pre-made huge Earth map scenario with 28 Civilizations which all are on their historical starting locations. If you prefer extra long game you could try out the new Snail game speed which has 3000 turns.

Translations

The mod works best on English, French and German language settings. Spanish and Italian work as well but translations for those are incomplete. For other languages the translation has just begun but there are other modders who have already translated this modpack to various languages like Polish, Russian, Chinese and Japanese.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. I'm missing UI elements (buttons, city screen not working). What should I do?

This is known to happen on some computer configurations. Here are few steps that can be done to fix this problem:

Make sure you have patched BtS to version 3.19. This mod won't work on previous versions.
Make sure language in BtS is set to English. In main menu click Advanced->Options and on Game options page, there's language setting.
Make sure that the mod folder name is 'Rise of Mankind' in 'Beyond the Sword\Mods' -folder.
If you have installed addons, make sure you followed instructions carefully. Failing to do so might cause UI problems.
If you are using Rise of Mankind 2.6, go to 'Rise of Mankind' -folder, open file CvAltroot.py to Notepad and follow the instructions there on how to edit that file and where to move it. This file should fix this problem on some operating systems
If any of these didn't solve your problem, then you should report it version 2.x bug reports -thread. Read the instructions what info you need to post when this problem occurred. Posting the log files from your game is the fastest way for me to check what went wrong, usually with 'No interface' problem it's python error or that the mod couldn't find config xml files.

2. Religion xxx doesn't have Missionary unit! Is this bug?

No, it's not a bug. All religions are made to be more unique in this mod and few early religions do not have missionaries. You will have to use other tactics to spread these religions. All religious buildings in this mod spread their own religion.

3. I can't build more Wonders in my city! What's going on?

Maximum number of Great Wonders you can build in one city is set to 4 in this mod. This was added to the mod to make Wonders spread out more. You will have to be bit more careful when building Wonders. Holy cities can have 5 wonders: Holy Shrine + 4 regular Great Wonders. If you want to have unlimited world wonders per city, open up file '..\Rise of Mankind\Assets\XML\GlobalDefines.xml' and set the world wonder defines to -1 value.

4. Can I use Modules made for BtS in this mod?

In most cases no. Because this mod makes changes to almost everything, most BtS modules are not working correctly with this mod. They have to be edited so that they match the changes in Rise of Mankind.

Check the Addons, Modules and Scenarios post below for mod components that are made to work with Rise of Mankind 2.0.

5. Can you add mod component X to Rise of Mankind?

Adding more mod components is lengthy process - I am of course updating the mod from time to time so new components might get added.

6. Can you add more flavor units, combine Varietas Dilectat or flavor mod XXX to Rise of Mankind?

My goal is to have eventually ethnic unit flavors. Unfortunately I can't directly combine any other flavor unit mod as those only change the BtS unit classes while my mod adds plenty of new unit classes which too need new flavor units. I'm trying to find the best suitable units for new unit classes but it's time consuming process. So future patches each will probably add some more flavor units. I also try to do my research about historical unit types per each civilization and add those units as new Unique Units instead of flavor units. You can suggest these too and provide web links so I can check them (I don't know the full history of each civ). Flavor units is not my main concern when I update this mod, my first priority is to enhance gameplay.

7. Mod loads just fine but when I start new game it crashes during the loading screen?

Make sure you have patched your BtS to version 3.17. Patch can be found from here.

8. Can I use your mod as a base for my own mod project?

Yes. This has been asked few times past year and I'm openminded for these kind of things. You can use parts or whole Rise of Mankind mod for your own projects as you see fit, just note that this modpack consists many mod components made by other modders, so please give credit to where it's due - I've tried to include complete credits list in the mod's readme file.

Will it work if I rename the mod folder to e.g. Rise of mankind v2 ?
I also use v1 with RevDCM and it doesn't like to be renamed (though I think I saw a fix for that somewhere)

zappara · Apr 29, 2008, 12:16 PM

@RobO

Yes it should work that way too.

Hmm.. don't think so. I got dozen different RoM test version folders in my mods folder and they've always worked when I've just renamed the folder.

Not at the moment you can't. Kalimakhus has just started working on new addon for RoM 2.0 that will add DCM functions + some other features.

Thanks

Yeah, lot of work has gone into this mod now.. 16 months total since I started it January 2007. I think it was one of your mods back then that gave me the initial push to start modding... or at least one of them, after seeing what wonderful mods others had done, I had to make one for myself and that process has got me now this far

Good to see you back. I'll be waiting for those reports!

royal62184 · Apr 29, 2008, 06:54 PM

Ever thought about adding terraforming to you mod? like plains -> grasslands and tundra -> plains like i've seen in a few other mods.

Something similar is on this link http://apolyton.net/forums/showthrea...ight=terraform

zappara · Apr 29, 2008, 07:03 PM

@royal62184

Warlords version had terraforming as it was part of Greenmod that I had combined. AI players didn't "understand" what terraforming was, so I didn't convert those functions to BtS version (8 months ago). I think I saw newer terraforming mod here somewhere but haven't really had time to check what it's all about and how it's made. So yes, I have thought about it but at this time I can't say / don't know if RoM will have those functions some day.

HiroHito · Apr 29, 2008, 08:18 PM

whoa thanks a lot, will report if anything weird happens !

brun58 · Apr 29, 2008, 08:21 PM

Playing, and glad to see 2.0 out, thanks for all your hard work. I was always a big fan of Rise and Rule, which I know you said early on was one of your inspirations, and I really feel like you've brought the spirit of that mod to Civ4

zappara Mod Designer Join Date: Dec 2003 Location: Finland Posts: 2,781	Frequently Asked Questions 1. I'm missing UI elements (buttons, city screen not working). What should I do? This is known to happen on some computer configurations. Here are few steps that can be done to fix this problem: Make sure you have patched BtS to version 3.19. This mod won't work on previous versions. Make sure language in BtS is set to English. In main menu click Advanced->Options and on Game options page, there's language setting. Make sure that the mod folder name is 'Rise of Mankind' in 'Beyond the Sword\Mods' -folder. If you have installed addons, make sure you followed instructions carefully. Failing to do so might cause UI problems. If you are using Rise of Mankind 2.6, go to 'Rise of Mankind' -folder, open file CvAltroot.py to Notepad and follow the instructions there on how to edit that file and where to move it. This file should fix this problem on some operating systems If any of these didn't solve your problem, then you should report it version 2.x bug reports -thread. Read the instructions what info you need to post when this problem occurred. Posting the log files from your game is the fastest way for me to check what went wrong, usually with 'No interface' problem it's python error or that the mod couldn't find config xml files. 2. Religion xxx doesn't have Missionary unit! Is this bug? No, it's not a bug. All religions are made to be more unique in this mod and few early religions do not have missionaries. You will have to use other tactics to spread these religions. All religious buildings in this mod spread their own religion. 3. I can't build more Wonders in my city! What's going on? Maximum number of Great Wonders you can build in one city is set to 4 in this mod. This was added to the mod to make Wonders spread out more. You will have to be bit more careful when building Wonders. Holy cities can have 5 wonders: Holy Shrine + 4 regular Great Wonders. If you want to have unlimited world wonders per city, open up file '..\Rise of Mankind\Assets\XML\GlobalDefines.xml' and set the world wonder defines to -1 value. 4. Can I use Modules made for BtS in this mod? In most cases no. Because this mod makes changes to almost everything, most BtS modules are not working correctly with this mod. They have to be edited so that they match the changes in Rise of Mankind. Check the Addons, Modules and Scenarios post below for mod components that are made to work with Rise of Mankind 2.0. 5. Can you add mod component X to Rise of Mankind? Adding more mod components is lengthy process - I am of course updating the mod from time to time so new components might get added. 6. Can you add more flavor units, combine Varietas Dilectat or flavor mod XXX to Rise of Mankind? My goal is to have eventually ethnic unit flavors. Unfortunately I can't directly combine any other flavor unit mod as those only change the BtS unit classes while my mod adds plenty of new unit classes which too need new flavor units. I'm trying to find the best suitable units for new unit classes but it's time consuming process. So future patches each will probably add some more flavor units. I also try to do my research about historical unit types per each civilization and add those units as new Unique Units instead of flavor units. You can suggest these too and provide web links so I can check them (I don't know the full history of each civ). Flavor units is not my main concern when I update this mod, my first priority is to enhance gameplay. 7. Mod loads just fine but when I start new game it crashes during the loading screen? Make sure you have patched your BtS to version 3.17. Patch can be found from here. 8. Can I use your mod as a base for my own mod project? Yes. This has been asked few times past year and I'm openminded for these kind of things. You can use parts or whole Rise of Mankind mod for your own projects as you see fit, just note that this modpack consists many mod components made by other modders, so please give credit to where it's due - I've tried to include complete credits list in the mod's readme file. __________________ Civ 4: Rise of Mankind v2.92 mod for BtS v3.19 Rise of Mankind: Features \| Download v2.92 (torrent) \| Download v2.91 \| Download v2.91patch \| Addons \| Scenarios & Maps \| Strategy & Tips \| FAQ \| Bug reports \| Version History \| Forum Last edited by zappara; Jul 26, 2009 at 07:02 AM.

royal62184 Prince Join Date: Aug 2007 Location: Oak Ridge, TN Posts: 312	Ever thought about adding terraforming to you mod? like plains -> grasslands and tundra -> plains like i've seen in a few other mods. Something similar is on this link http://apolyton.net/forums/showthrea...ight=terraform

zappara Mod Designer Join Date: Dec 2003 Location: Finland Posts: 2,781	@royal62184 Warlords version had terraforming as it was part of Greenmod that I had combined. AI players didn't "understand" what terraforming was, so I didn't convert those functions to BtS version (8 months ago). I think I saw newer terraforming mod here somewhere but haven't really had time to check what it's all about and how it's made. So yes, I have thought about it but at this time I can't say / don't know if RoM will have those functions some day. __________________ Civ 4: Rise of Mankind v2.92 mod for BtS v3.19 Rise of Mankind: Features \| Download v2.92 (torrent) \| Download v2.91 \| Download v2.91patch \| Addons \| Scenarios & Maps \| Strategy & Tips \| FAQ \| Bug reports \| Version History \| Forum
