300 Anno Dominae

[Ajidica]

The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire​

Vannila CIV4 only.
First BTS Version is Here!!!
The mod is currently on pause due to a CTD while loading involving the laucher. You can download the mod here http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=259674 and could you please respond back on how to fix the error. I have looked at it extensively and have no clue what is going on.
Hopefully I will have the complete BTS vesion up by end of the week. Since I can't play on it but on the other thread, primordial stew says he can play it just fine I think anyone downloading it will be able to play. Since me being unable to play means I can't test things, when I get it done, I will need help in testing it.

In 300 AD the Roman Emperor Diocletian thought that the empire was to big and unweildly to be ruled by one man. To ammend this, he created a tetrachy, rule by four. The new areas of the Empire were, Roman Gaul, Italy, Illyricum, and The East. After Diocletians abdication and the rise of Maximillian on the Italian throne, tensions between the new powers are increasing. The domestic problems are not the only worry to the new Roman Empire.
The massive waves of barbarian migrations are increasing in both frequency and size, Rome is hard pressed to keep them away. The fearsome Huns from the great Steppes of Asia are pursuing them, or are they fleeing from another tribe?
Only a strong Emperor can survive the coming storm, and be the true continuation of the Roman Empire.

Factions:
The Eastern Roman Empire
Roman Gaul
Illyricum
Italian Rome
Dacia
Maghreb People
Bretons
Franks
Huns

Known Bugs:
When loading the mods map, you get an XML error with FormationsInfo, this has no effect, just click OK.
You have units all the way to the Modern Era, when I tried to remove all non-mod units, I got a major XML error.

To do list:
Give all factions a second UU
Edit the tech tree
Add another barbarian race(Goths?)
Replace any Leaders or cities with PLACEHOLDER, if anyone could help, that would be useful.
Add more barb cities and get raging barbarians. How do I make them not attack the Huns?
Does anyone know how to get barbarian uprisings from BTS into vannilla civ? If it is possible, could you please tell me what to do in Python? Or please post the nescesary changes.

BTS Version

This is just a map, I get a crash when I add a unit.
BTS Information
New Civs Are:
Alemanni
Sassanid Persia
Saxons
Goths
Sarmatians
Vandals
Burgundii
Lombardi
Ostrogoths
Visigoths
Slavs
Berbers
Roxolani
Dacia is gone along with Illyricum, Roman Gaul, and the Maghreb People.

Also, I will try and make my own calender so the speed is not marathon and edit the tech tree, so there are only two other techs.

Looks cool.

 

[ruffriders23]

looks nice, but does anyone still not have Warlords or BTS?

 

[Zuul]

What name is it? The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire OR 300 Anno Dominae? And what version number? (for my releasdate list)

 

[Agent327]

Cool! But you seem, like myself, to have put the file itself instead of the DL page URL in your 1st post...

@ruffriders23: Yeas, I still own Civ4. Quit nagging

 

[Ajidica]

THe reason it is CIV4 is because I couldnt find any good maps for BTS and it has alot of bugs, and not for Warlords because I hate walords. And everyone has CIV4.

@JLNijholt-How do I put it on the downloads page? Don't I just include the .zip here?

@Zuul-The name is 300-AD. I chose The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire because that is what it is about. This is also version 1. Next verson will hopefully have a soundtrack, 2nd UUs, modified leader diplo attitudes, adjusted techtree, and no more modern units in the pedia.

@All-Have any of you actully played it yet? This is my first mod, and I want to know if it sucks or not.

 

[ruffriders23]

Make it BTS compatible and you will get me to download it. Warlords was cool, but BTS is better.

 

[Ajidica]

BTS is too buggy. If you don't like how it is, don't play it. Until enough people want it converted or until someone tells me how to convert it, it is staying vannilla. Besides, you can't play BTS without vannilla.

 

[Ajidica]

Has any one actually played it yet? If not, I won't bother releasing the next update.

 

[ruffriders23]

I didn't. The idea looked solid, but I don't play vanilla civ anymore. Warlords and BTS offer better gameplay.

 

[Ajidica]

Could you try it to see if it is worth upgrading to BTS?

 

[maxbjr]

I actually did try the mod, 3 times. As Briton, Western Rome, & Eastern Rome. Build times for units and buildings are very slow, starting gold is very low. Those are the major problems right now. But I think the mod is well designed and has great promise. I think an upgrade to BtS is a must for this mod to acheive it's full potental. With corperations starting at a lower tech level you can the great merchant houses that drove the trade economy during this time peroid. And altering some of the religion names, along with their techs would work well also.

 

[Wolfshanze]

Oh... this is for Vanilla Civ4?

I only play BtS mods!

 

[ruffriders23]

Oh... this is for Vanilla Civ4?

I only play BtS mods!

TRUE! So true!

 

[Ajidica]

@maxbjr: I didnt get around to changing the religion names. They will be changed in the next version, which will be the version that BTS will be based on. Also, the reason it felt so slow was the calender was set to Marathon. I orriginally had it at epic, but then you would be using longbows, macemen, and crossbows. I may evetually get around to changing the tech tree, or make my own calender for the game.

Hopefully, the next version, the one BTS will be based on, will be out by the end of next week. Also, can I just port the map over to BTS without having to make a new one? I put alot of effort into this map and I don't want the work I did to go to waste. Expect the BTS version between Christmas and New Year at latest.

 

[Ajidica]

Sorry for not responding. I have been busy with school and Total War. I hope to have the BTS version out before Christmas. It will be nearly identical to the current version, as I don't have the time to do any real changes.

Edit: This will take alot longer than I thought. I can't get the map to transfer over to BTS. If anyone caould help me, I would be most grateful and could get this mod done faster.

 

[onedreamer]

it is Anno Domini, Dominae would be female...

 

[Ajidica]

Thank you. I'll change that.

 

[Zuul]

Any news on this project?
