So after a little over a month now, Civ V's true colors have been revealed and seems to lack quite a few modding abilities that Civ IV had even from the start. I for one have pretty much turned off my interests for Civ V and just do other things for now and when I do want to mod in the near future, I'll probably just mod for Civ IV.
I remember reading from somewhere that they'll release the SDK source later this year so I guess the real modding begins when the modding toolset is improved. I don't recall how it was with Civ 4, at what point did they release the SDK sources? I think they're making couple expansions anyway so we actually don't have any rush to get our "little" mod out any time soon...
If people see whats there, there might be more ideas then. Besides some people don't even have Civ V yet. Wasn't RoM/AND based off of RevDCM/BUG/WoC, after a while?

Can I pick up where you left off? I know you had some stuff already made. I have been having no problems on my machine in testing with the Prehistoric + HAND. Note that the trade off is having to run on lower settings and smaller maps.
At the very least you should make it as an add-on for RAND and then I could convert it over to the Prehistoric mod if you computer cannot handle it. Its funny since if you told me a year ago which would be more done a prehistoric mod or a space mod I would have said the space mod.
In short please don't give up on Civ4 AToM just yet.
Since Strategyonly is busy with his prehistoric mod for Civ IV and no one has mentioned about starting the tech tree, I went ahead and took the liberty of starting it. I'm currently looking at this picture which is the last one to be edited and starting the tree off it. Next I'll be hooking the techs that have no plan with whatever prereqs I deem plausible through reason. I've finished the prehistoric era (as much as I disagree with it, but if we don't this'll prolly end up like the call to power mod which is a copycat of RoM v1... RoM must stay on top!

The Caveman 2 Cosmos project is a good idea, but Civ IV just can't handle the content. Its inability to multithread has my computer on its knees with the current ANDv1.75b at low settings when my comp was a high-end machine at the time of RoM 2.8. Truth is, Civ IV has had its run, we pushed it with RoM+AND and danced menacingly on the brink. I think it really is time to stop the large Civ IV projects since anymore added on will simply freeze just about any high-end computer. This doesn't mean you can't add units/buildings/etc, but any more will really just slow the game to a halt.
