Drtad's First Peoples Mod: Includes Sumer, Babylon, Urartu, and many more!

[Drtad]

I have decided to add a few new leaders to the existing civs like Persia. For Persia I am going to add Darius I and Yazdegerd II.

 

[Drtad]

I am nearly done with the new version.

thx for all the hard work Drtad. I havent added any mods yet so im not sure of exactly how to get this one working (where to put the assets folder, open the reg warlords or in mods, etc..) any tips would be most appreciated. thx

 

[Drtad]

Okay, the folder you have to extract it in is Program Files/Firaxis Games/Sid Meier's Civilization 4/Warlords/Mods and you are done. Then you start up Warlords, go to advanced, click on load a mod, and you can use the civs that I have added. I hope that helps. And extract the WHOLE FILE. Not just the assets.

Found a horrid bug that made the Greek Odeon the Unique building of the Illyrians. Fixed in the next version.

 

[Drtad]

Version 0.3 posted!

 

[Drtad]

I fixed an artdefines bug and uploaded a new version. delete the one you just installed and download anew.

 

[Drtad]

Updated my list of things for the upcoming version.

 

[Drtad]

I just found a great new castle model by Chameadrys. Its definitely going in as the Illyrian Citadel.

 

[Drtad]

I saw some new city graphics being worked on in the Graphics modpacks. If they fix all of their texture problems. They will definitely go in this mod as new city graphics for whatever civ they design it for. (India I think.)

Great scenario/mod Drtad. One of the original TAMsters (Pi-Ankhi) would have loved it. He was a Nubia-phile and he would have been all mooney eyes over Candace. This has the feel of Thamis' original Fertile Crescent mod.

 

[dazman92]

thanks, this looks awesome man!

 

[Drtad]

Thank you both very much.

 

[Ankenaton]

Thank you both very much.

Now maybe when you have a spare moment...maybe we can lobby Thamis so that we can create a true update of his Fertile Crescent mod, which is the precursor to his TAM mod.

 

[Drtad]

Didn't you look at the TAM forum? Thamis is leaving for a game designing job, and Laurino is the new TAM leader. I am now part of the TAM team as well. I do not know what the Fertile Crescent mod was, if you can enlighten me on the subject, I might be able to resurrect it myself.

No I usually contact him via private e-mail. If you have an old copy of Civ3 you can see it in the mod/scenario section. Basically it was TAM comprised of the old civilizations minus any civilization north of Greece and Persia. So you had civilizations like Nubia, Egypt, Sheba, Israel/Judah, Babylon, Assyria, Persia, Medea, Sumer,the Hittites, Akkadians, Lydia, Troy, Mycenae, Minos (Crete), etc. Basically the precursor (first) civs. I was one of the last guys from the Civ3 Tam Team other than Thamis, Laurino and BenG. I never really got that intricately involved in Civ4 TAM other than a suggestion here or there. I will have to write Jan (Thamis) about these recent developments. Thanks for the heads up.

Cool, Illyrians are in. Thanks!

I might make a scenario for my mod, Akhenaton. I will also be adding the ancient Atlatl unit for the next version.

Great! Add that to the Jaguar Knights and the Incas, Aztecs and Mayan Civs should have a nice interesting unit. Can't wait to see it. Also can't wait to see the new scenario that you are thinking about. Anyway work on it when you can....there is no pressure....really none at all.....lol.

 

[Drtad]

There are no Mayans in my mod... But good idea for a later version.

I might get my hands on a Med map and put correct starting locations for the ancient civs. Some might be a bit bunched up but that would encourage early warfare, which is good.
