About the mod
The idea for this mod started, because I have myself always prefered the late game in civ. Unfortunately it always took SOO much time to get there, and the late game start, where you start in any other than ancient era, weren't realistic at all. So I decided to make a mod focusing the late game. Like the name says it focuses to 19th and 20th centuries. The name may sound stupid and wierd because I didn't have any better ideas, but that shouldn't change the game play. :p I started making it by asking what do you other people want in it. I have myself always lacked ideas. But anyway, I got lots of great answeres and help from these great forums. In the future I'm going to focus more coding than graphics but not going to forget them totally.

I have redone nearly the entire tech tree, but the late game might still need some fixing and balancing. Also because I have deleted old parts (buildings, eras, tech, units, etc...) the events and quests can have wrong text messages and even effects.

I recommend you to play with many civs and large or huge map with epic or marathon speed. The research speed has been made in the noble difficulty to almost represent the real history. (I have tested it myself, and it's fairly possible that you play better than me :p)

And in the end enormous thanks to jdog5000, without the help I got this mod wouldn't have been finished.
This is my first mod so I would like to know what you think about it. If there are problems with the mod or if you would like to change something, post here! And please, if you download give me some feedback.

Customizing the mod
Because of the incorporated BUG, there is now more user friendly interface where to modify the options. I have moved the options from xml to the BUG screen.

Current features
Better BTS AI
Spoiler :
The Better AI project is the best component ever made for BTS. It fixes lots of AI bugs and make it much more competitive than the vanilla. It also includes the unofficial patch that fixes other bugs from vanilla civ.

Better BUG AI
Spoiler :
Better BUG AI contains Better BTS AI, BUG and BULL. Both BUG and BULL are great interface mods. The add much more info to the screen without changing the game mechanics.

Cultural Citystyles
Spoiler :
Cultural Citystyles adds lots of new city artstyles and building art. It gives the cities more unique look.

Route Air Bombing
Spoiler :
Route Air Bombing modcomp is a small component I made as my first DLL project. It allows air planes to bomb routes disconnecting the enemys' resources from its' cities.

Ranged Bombard
Spoiler :
Ranged bombard has been converted to work with BTS 3.19 and been slightly modified. Ranged bombard gives the artillery units the ability to bombard unit from a distance.

Hire Units Advisor
Spoiler :
I have created a page to military advisor that allows you to hire units with experience if you're running the Hired Army civic.

Global Warming
Spoiler :
The Global Warming mod changes the global warming change the terrain gradually and allows it to rise sea level.

Ruthless AI
Spoiler :
The Ruthless AI is incorporated from Afforess' modmod A New Dawn. It makes the AI more unpredictable and a back stabber and more likely to declare war.

Occasional promotions
Spoiler :
Occasional Promotions allows units to gain promotions from combat depending on how well they managed to fight. With low combat odds your units have higher chances to acquire a promotion.

And that's only few of them. You will find lots of interesting things that makes the game even more enjoyable.

Known issues
-There is still missing some buttons

Future plans
-bug fixing

Please inform me if you find any bugs or errors. Also tell me everything you think should be changed. New ideas and suggestions are still welcome.

Take a look at the Wolfshanze mod, it adds in Steamship Navies, a vital part of that time period.
 
I have been trying to ask people can I use their graphics via PM. But nobody answers. Is it broken or something? Or is it the same thing that is in adding a custom avatar that you have to have been registered in this forum for 30 days and posted atleast 30 posts?
 
Though I naturally can't speak for everyone, most people post their art / code here specifically so that other people can use them. Unless they specifically said otherwise in their post, I say feel free to use whatever you want. It is nice to credit the various authors yourself when you post your mod on the forums, though.
 
I agree; if people don't respond, just send them a notice and mention them in your credits. The whole purpose of people making their creations available is to make use of them and what better use in somebody's mod?;)
 
Does any one know how to fix this? It's a screen shot.
But please tell me if you know how to fix it. It's not very important but I think it would be better when the leader head is normal size.
 
For one thing you should reform routes.

My Future mod starts in 1815 and the current version has unpaved roads, paved roads, railroads, and highways in that order. Unpaved roads are routes that allow you to get resources, period. They don't do anything for movement, but can be built very fast. Paved roads double movement. Railroads give an across the board triple movement, and they increase the yield of improvements. Highways require combustion and oil, to reflect that building the route means not only building the route itself but the vehicles and support infrastructure for traffic on the route. They increase the yield of improvements and give that big flat movement like the standard game gives railroads.

Also, mess with early and late art for units. For instance, you can get the WW2 Frigate from Road to War and use it as the Late art for Frigate. I use the WW2Transport as the transport and use the current Transport as the late look for Galleon, which I rename "Light Transport." I also use the WW1 infantry from the vanilla fpk as the late look for both Grenadier and Rifleman.

There is also modern art you can use for the workshop and the lumbermill and the forge and the granary.

I always start with a tech tree.
 
I have planned editing routes but first I have to get everything else to work. That's also one reson why I'm using Jeckel's JRouteNative in my mod. The route changes won't be in first versions but I'm going to it.
Thanks for your advice. I'll keep it in my mind.:)
 
Still lot to do. I think it'll take few weeks for me to finish it and ofcourse I have to test it too. This mod isn't going to be out very soon but feel free to post your suggests here. I keep looking this thread even I'm working on the mod.:)
 
your mod sounds like it'll be very interesting once finished. Are you planning on making a scenario or just have it for random maps with modern starts?

If a scenario, would it be whole world or certain areas or both? Like you said, theres alot that happened in that time so it could cover all kinds of stuff and be as deep as you wanted it to be.
 
I planed to add scenarios but I'll have to add them later because I'm working on this mod by myself. And about that are the scenarios going to be whole world or certain area. I think it depends on scenario. Someones might be better if they concentrate only on certain area.
 
Does anyone have/know proper train graphics? I have been searching for them from this forum but I haven't found any. I even looked from the Civ3 downloads but it uses differend type of files so it wasn't any help. I'm planning to do a train that could transport units very fast and could move only on railroads (thanks to JRouteNative).
