AIM Corporation

[vincentz]

This mod adds 1 modular corporation named AIM (Arms Industri Manufacturers)
for BTS3.17 ROM2.6x

It is not completely finished yet, though should be very playable.

Its a little bit different than the other corporations (see spoiler)

Todo list :
Find out who made the units and make a credit list
Make Civipedia entries
Add more units

Installation : put the AIM folder from the rar into ...\Civilization4\Beyond the Sword\Mods\Rise of Mankind\Assets\Modules

Uninstallation : delete the AIM folder (simple right?)

Known problems :
It will replace the standard ethanol corporation as it wouldn't otherwise have a Gamefont icon (on citybar and on mouseovers).
IMO standard ethanol is obsolete in itself, (if you don't have oil in on that time, theres a good chance you'd already been wiped out) plus it competes with a LOT of other corporations.

Solution :
1 Download the AIMgamefont.rar
2 Make a backup of gamefont.tga and gamefont_75.tga in
...\Civilization4\Beyond the Sword\Mods\Rise of Mankind\Assets\res\Fonts
3 Copy the gamefont.tga and gamefont_75.tga from rar into
...\Civilization4\Beyond the Sword\Mods\Rise of Mankind\Assets\res\Fonts

This will provide a correct citybar/mouseover icon for AIM, but will still
replace the standard ethanol corporation.
(If you cannot live with the standard ethanol logo)

This looks interesting, but what happens if I want to use AIM and Standard Ethanol? Is this an unsurmountable problem?

The real reson why I replaced the standard ethanol was that I already made 6 corporations and that seemed like the limit on 2.63. When I tried to add a 7th the resource icons f... up.

That, however, shouldn't be a problem with 2.7 as they have HUGE space for new corps/religions/resources. So is it a unsurmountable (love that word, have no idea what it means thou) problem? No, but you have to wait awhile

Unsurmountable means the same thing as insuperable and almost the same thing as invincible
