AAranda's modcomps for RoM 2.7

[os79]

Just to be clear, that is all. Not urgent, okay?

I want to be sure you are still working on Buildings mod, right? Because when I downloaded your buildings mod again and installed what buildings I wanted (Watch Tower, Pottery Workshop, Sea Farm, and Tank Factory) I noticed first thing when I get Animal Husbandry tech that I have Dog Kernel in my building queue options! I did not put in Dog kernel (or whatever you call it) because I don't use it anyway so how can it be in the game? Is it because of your AAranda_whatever files? If so, I think you should work on deleting these files and put more specialized AAranda files for each building individually.

I already checked your civ mods and I love how you modularized them. They are just what I 'm looking for in your building mods All files in each building's folder, not outside.

Again, it is not urgent because I can wait for your new building mod if yo are working on it still.

Thank you!

I'm not working on my buildings mod , i'm done on it
I don't know what have you deleted or not from the mod , but one thing is for sure all my mods are modularized in the same way , civs and buildings too
Now , if you want to delete something , you must open AArandas_buildinginfos and AArandas_buildingclassinfo and delete wathever you don't want to use from them . Now , you can erase the folders named as the buildings you wanted to erase , containing just art files , like in all my others mods

Oh these files. Okay, I will go into them too and delete the entries on these buildings I don't want too.

But, fyi, there are some people who are leery of XML editing so you may want ot consider changing the directory system to make it just one delete operation, no xml editing at all. But that is up to you . I'm fine with what you directed me to do.

No way , for 2 reasons:
First , if i do mods like that i'll spend ten times more than now , basically is like making a complete mod for each building/unit /religion /thing which could be ok for little mods , but mines are quite big normally and i have in mind work for a whole year or so . Doing this it can be saling civilization XI and i'm still working on civ IV
And second , in mods there's always things you like and things you don't , but you must weight if the good points are biggers than the bads , and choose if you want it or not ... or edit the mod to your like . I mean , there a few things i don't like from RoM ( wich i consider a marvel , by the way , like civ 6 or 7 ) , i specially hate the light/normal/heavy swordsman thing , but i'm not going to tell Zappara to make RoM all modular so anyone can choose what must be in or out , because it would be a TITANIC job , and so is for me : splitting every single thing from my buildings mod into modules would mean around 50 work hours , and splitting my religions mod ( wich would be the best , because people like so much some of them but no others ) around 100. I'm not going to use my time on this , my mods are what them are , leave or take it
I hope no one gets offended by this post , i'm just trying to clarify my position , and , of course , if you or anyone else wants to edit any of my mods in any way and need some help to do so , i'll be glad to help .But by yourselfs , i'm done with wath is done

Hey Aaranda. A quick question. Did you add any gamefont icons for your corporations others than the ones that was already part of 2.7 and if not, can you check with these fonts, to see if your corps/religion icons are right. The reason is I added 10 guilds and changed/added my corporations, so hopfully the gamefont can be part of 2.71. Thanks

There was a bug in the mods making wondermovies splash twice , now fixed thanks to Dancing Hoskull's brilliant help. The main mod is fixed too , so you can download the full version repaired or just this patch if you have already downloaded it . By the way , saved games will work perfectly if you patch the mod
Also , in the buildings mod , building names are in capital at the beggining of a word and some building names has been changed as requested by users:
Dog breeding house ---- Kennel
Watching tower -------- Watch Tower

Building's mod patch

Hello Aaranda!

Just applied those patches and the buildings still have goofy names (Watching tower, Dog breeding house, etc ,etc,etc).

Just for your info, the Kennel is also used by some that use Subdue Animal for capturing of Animals, its a small mod comp(that uses same name for building), so might want to change that name to "K9 Kennel" so it does not interfere with those that use that mod comp.

K9 is still incorrect terminology, the proper one is Canine Kennel. Or if you prefer to go pure latin a Canis Lupis Kennel.

Alright everything looks good now, Thank You!

BTW, are you planning to update your units with correct names?

Do you meannames with starting words in Capital or changing names ?
If is just the capital thing , no. If is a matter of incorrects names i'll be glad to update just let me know my mistakes and show me the correct name

I mostly meant Capitals, but now that you mention the case of unit names I do think a Bard instead of Story Teller makes more sense. But that's okay capitals are no problem I've already fixed that myself, I was just wondering is all.

Hey Aaranda

I finally found the reason why the original gamefont didnt work for your corporations.

The Grid is broken 4 places between the paws and the mask. Propably in the alpha channel as well. I'll fix it and post a new gamefont in the 2.7 Feedback/bug thread, but you'll have to change the TGAindex for your corporations to the standard (zappara) gamefont. That way it'll be modular again

Hi, just a quick question to your pirate civ. I really like them, but why give them like 4 attributes.. doesn´t that make them a bit unbalanced to the rest?

Hi, just a quick question to your pirate civ. I really like them, but why give them like 4 attributes.. doesn´t that make them a bit unbalanced to the rest?

Yes , the leader is overpowered
In my civs mods , all leaders have 3 or 4 traits , usually just 3 , and when they have 4 , one of the traits is very weak and normally related to a very specific terrain
But in this case the terrain is sea and the others 3 traits are strong too . I let it be because it shows perfectly a pirate personality : maritime , aggressive , militaristic and greedy ; and because i always place pirate civ in a quite bad starting position : a little island , so the traits balance the bad start
Anyway , if they are placed normally i understand it's to powerfull . You can delete some traits opening the leaderheadinfo file inside your pirate civ , if you want

 

[Nekator]

Alright, thank you for the info - and keep up the great work

 

[AAranda]

I'm going to update all my civs mods , if i'm good enough , adding a couple of new concepts , and i will appreciate any help as those concepts are going to be reffered to civs history and , even when i think i know a little about it , my mind is quite short in some , or many , of them

The first concept is UNIQUE WONDERS , meaning that i'm planning to replace some of the existing wonders or national wonders for others representatives of the civs in matter , always if the unique wonder is well known and important :
CANADA ----------- CN TOWER / NATIONAL TV STATION
USA --------------- YELLOWSTONE PARK / NATIONAL PARK
MEXICO ----------- CASAS GRANDES / MOHENJO DARO
I don't want every civ to have one , just want to show in the game more diversity adding things important enough ... so if any of you want toadd something in both americas , now is the time

The second concept is UNIQUE HEROES , even when "heroes" should't be the correct word , meaning that i 'll add special units representing each civs heroes , and working as wonders : just can be builded once . You could attach a great general to them as well :
GREECE ------------ ACHILLES / LIGHT SWORDSMAN
PORTUGAL --------- VIRIATO /SWORDSMAN
VIKINGS ----------- ERIK THE RED / DRAKKAR
ITALY ------------- MARCO POLO / TRADE CARAVAN
SPAIN ------------- HERNAN CORTES / CONQUISTADOR
SPAIN ------------- LUIS DAOIZ / CANNON
I hope i managed to express my idea , and i hope you like it and want to help

just fyi, compatibility patch made for your religions mod and my ANM by i_diavolorosso's request

There are mods for both these concepts on the mod components forum except I think the heros were not tied to a civ but were like a great wonder and you raced to see if you could build the hero first. Will you be simulating the down side of having heros? You know less beer available

Thanks. About unique wonders , yes , that's exactly what i'm thinking , but the wonders listed are all added by Zappara or by me in my buildings mod
About heros , i want to tie them to their national civ giving them between 5-8 promotions , and i would like to add at least 1 per civ

Sounds like the special UU some mods have where you get to have just one - I think the Egyptians had a "Tutmoses III" unit which was a special chariot unit with 5 promotions. The Egyptians got special chariots and this "hero" unit with charioty.
