A New Dawn

The splash screen is blank, no menu there, only with a larger-than-screen wallpaper of the mod. So I can't start a game.
 
What are the exact intentions of this mod? There are quite a few "Throw in the kitchen sink" mods now, but how is this one different from Rise of Mankind. If anything, it would be nice if someone could take all the components from Rise of Mankind, and create a world map, with real starting positions, and city names, perhaps something like RFC, but with a whole lot more.

Also does this mod cut down on useless/stupid religions?
I've never played ROM-AND, so I don't know what's different.
About religions, I've added only one new religion: Zoroastrianism.
 
Then it should work, assuming you have BtS 3.19.

I've just downloaded and unzipped everything again, but the problem persists. It's the same problem of those who changed the game language from German to English.
 
Is BtS patched to 3.19?
 
hrm hrm hrm hrm hrmmm..... I KNOW your computer personally despises that mod, or it's a memory problem

It doesn't seem to be this, since memory issues would generate a crash while opening the mod (the start background wouldn't even appear). The problem is about no word or button opening.
 
I'd download again just to see what happens...
 
Does the mod have huge quality graphics? If so, it may be incompatible with onboard videocards, thus not allowing the game even to display the initial menu.

You'd have to have a pretty outdated onboard video card to have that issue, especially for it to freak out on the initial menu.
For starters, the texture replacements that don't affect the initial menu won't really have an impact on your video card from the initial menu, and A New Dawn doesn't use some suped up menu screen that could, due to your video card, cause a crash unless you're running something from back when Daikatana was still in announcement.
 
Wow,this is a massive mod. :eek: I haven't played it yet, but I will d/l. If you get the Trait text for food from animals, let me know and vice-versa.

I've also got some more mods coming that I'm sure you may like such as Advanced Diplomacy 2, Multiple Research, and City Surrender.
 
Wow. Great mod. I think one of the best i have played.

I have been playing Rom-AND and i miss some ideas from that mod
Have you thought about taking some ideas of Rom-AND?. It has these things i like:
- Bigger cities (can expand to a 3rd radius) -> I love this. And you can have large maps without a lot of cities.
- Goes further into future (more ages, future and transhuman) -> Their strong point.
- Mountain mod
- Medieval mod
- Techs... buildings... wonders.. etc (the list would be very large). There are good ideas on these in that mod (INMHO), that can be applied on this without having it unbalanced and could enricht this. (buff a AND with "the good" of Rom-And would be a really awesome mod)

Indeed, i like this mod more. It has some things i love
- Better ancient support (i like primitive workers). (perhaps not being all things obsolete... i think is better toning down a bit or even giving some culture.. but this is because my personal choice is that "being" obsolete *any* is not for me, in buildings, techs or wonders... )
The first era is too short for me. I would like more on that.
- Consistent civics. (I do not like Rom-And in that point..)
- Saboteur units. (REALLY GREAT). A must for a mod.
- Good choice of wonders. (i would like more).
- Good choice of building (i would like more chain of these)
- Very good projects
- Very good extra resources (would be more in a future?)

I miss a rich-resource map generator (i love rich resource maps, because these makes me more

Well, i think this mod is a really excellent job (perhaps the best). But i miss some strong points from Rom-AND. I would love an AND-Xtra (no matter how many gigas it would has :PP).

Thanks for the compliments :)

1. I've no plans to merge this modcomp. But feel free to do it yourself ;)
2. Adding additional eras is a LOAD of work because of all the cross-references in the XML (and a few in Python). And then adding all that extra stuff...
3. Mountains BTS (Back to Service) modcomp is added, or do you mean another modcomp?
4. I am not familiar with this modcomp. What does it do?
5. What kind of stuff do you mean? This mod is not related to RoM-AND whatsoever.
 
Is it intentional that Agg/Chm leaders can get combat 3 warriors with 2 xp? It's awesome, but kinda overpowered. I mean, I suppose Hitler's aggresiveness and charisma would get more, better troops to join his army, and keep them motivated to do better, but combat 3 with 2 xp? the promotion-xp for Agg/Chm is 1,2,3 so far. that's combat 4 with a vanilla barracks for the units that get the free combat 1 (all except sabotage units now)

If you do change it I'm keeping to old on as well and playing as Boudica or Hitler every time!!

EDIT: The battlefield (forest) doesn't have any forest-y animation.. is this intended?
