ADDON: Extra Civ pack for RoM 2.0

@zap

I use regular BtS. As I only play FfH and RoM these days, I tried reinstalling the whole game and it worked fine, and as I'm a complete noob in general modding, I hadn't logged anything, sorry :( anyway, thanks for the help and keep up the good job :D
 
The Cherokee' unique Unit the Atl-Atl is way too powerful. A strength 3 scout that can attack? I suggest making it strength 2, drop the 10% city defense, and make it so they cannot capture cities.

The Apache don't have a unique unit or building, and I dont quite get why Geronimo is Philosophical and Financial. He should probably be Aggressive, Charismatic. They are known as being good horsemen. I would suggest the Horseman as a unique unit (drop combat bonus vs archers and enabled at Animal husbandry instead of horseback riding.) And Corral replacement for stable, +3 to mounted units instead of +2 and enabled at animal husbandry instead of Chariotry.

The Mapuche civ doesn't have a unique building or unit either but I'm not sure what would fit them best.

Attached file w/ changes I suggested above.

EDIT file has been removed because I have patched the entire set of Extra Civs.. see my Next Post.
 
what do these civs do for music?
 
Just a funny historical note on the atl-atl being too powerful!

When (not in Civ, in real life) the Spanish attempted a landing and conquest of what is now Florida in ~1505, a tribe related to the Tupi and Caribs living there decided to resist and fight back. The Spanish landed, fired their matchlocks to frighten off the silly savages, and strutted about in their nice shiny breastplates. The Floridian natives then attacked with their atl-atls, and the 2 surviving Spanish officers wrote about how surprised they were that such a primitive weapon could hurl a stone-tipped dart straight through their armor. The surviving Spanish fled. 50 years later another Spanish expedition returned and established a colony in Floridia... guns may not have been > than the atl-atl, but smallpox was.

As far as I've found (I'm a historian and anthropologist), those Floridians were the only people still using that most ancient (and powerful) of weapon technologies in the Western Hemisphere, though it begs the question of why it didn't experience a revival very quickly.

As for the UUs and buildings...

General consensus is that native americans didn't have access to horses until the 17th C., so giving Apaches horse-based uniques might not be very accurate. Unless you gave them a cavalry-era horse unit.

I'd suggest Toqui for Mapuchan UU, some sort of axeman modification. As for a UB I couldn't say.
 
I have Fixed many of the Extra Civ's (mostly buildings) to be in line with the RoM version of the base building they replaced, plus their single extra ability or feature. Some Civs had the same replacement buildings that which specialized in the same area, (bonus healt/happiness/culture) etc yet were unequal to each other. (One UB Castle had +5 culture while another had only +3) in those cases they have been made equal.

In a few cases, I made the UB in line with the "unoffical patched" version of RoM's base building (see my other post of balance fixes)

Here is a detailed list of the changes in the attached patch:

Why would you make the Pa coastal only?
 
I'm currently modifying extra civs to be compatible with RoM v2.4. Progress is at about 50% now - just left to go through the unique units and some python... I'll try to get new version uploaded later this week.
 
I installed it on top of Rom 2.4 straight away anyway.
It seems to work fine - no crashes or obvious peculiarities - but I haven't looked at unique units, buildings, etc.

There's plenty of small fixes in next extra civ addon pack - I had to edit just about every UB and UU to new RoM settings. ;) I also "packed" all the art files from new civs to FPK files to speed up mod's loading process. As a total it took some 7 modding hours to make the new addon package.

New extra civ pack addon is now fully converted but I do not know yet on what day I can upload it (it's almost 400 MB zip file). I'll have to visit my friend and upload it from his computer as he has more stable connection (takes 3hours to upload it so not good to have connection failures during upload process).

With extra civ addon pack RoM's installation size just reached 1GB on my hard drive... this mod project has gotten quite huge (about 2300 files) :eek:
 
Wait, I made a new (custom) civ from scratch, for 2.3. Do I have to update anything for 2.4?

It should work right away and you can check yourself if there's any changes to be made with UU or UB ;) Extra civ addon pack 1.1 was originally made for RoM v2.2 and there was quite a lot of changes between v2.2->v2.3 and mostly I was making those changes to the new civ addon pack.

Edit: By the way, check if you have put correct schema xml files for UU and UB...
 
Installation requires the Add-on to be unzipped into the BtS/Mods folder, not the RoM 2.4(1) folder; is this correct?

Yes, to mods folder.. the addon zip file should have "Rise of Mankind" -folder included in it. When installing, it should overwrite couple files from RoM 2.4 (audio + diplomacy)
 
Hey Zappara and Gold Team,

When creating the new leaders did you actually modify their personalities accordingly? Like adjusting their diplomatic/war tendencies and other aspects that made all of the official Civ 4 leaders by Firaxis more unique than simply their two character traits?
