I'm an avid BTS player who took a 5 year hiatus and only recently got back on the bandwagon a month ago. As a lover of mods, and through a recommendation of a friend, I decided to download and install Rise of Mankind: A New Dawn to test it out play it.
From first impressions, the mod seems incredibly fun and ultimately as cool and as interesting as I read in the full forum thread*. However, after 15 mins of playing with the game's mechanics and actually getting into the meat, I ran into some issues:
If there's anyone in this forum who reads this, can you please help me understand whats going with this mod and why it behaves to unconventionally?
I'm not a modder, and I have no experience with coding and rendering, so I honestly am not sure if this is an internal problem with the game or the mod, or both and I really don't want to have to uninstall it.
Please help me, thank you.

- To be honest, I don't really consider this an issue, but rather more of annoyance. In most mods, the worldbuilder mode allows the player to literally take the world into his/her own hands and do anything they want with it; i.e., add/remove players, alter the map, add/remove tech, buildings, change city stats, etc. In this, when I start every game, I make it a point to use worldbuilder with no restraints, namely to improve my cities, but whenever I take the time to edit one city at a time and return to the game, changes such as additional buildings (including structures from other civs I use for aesthetic pleasure) are removed. It's gotten so where I no longer use the city editor to add buildings and use the actual player editor to make the changes want as permanent as I can.
- What I consider to my biggest issue with this mod is that whenever I start the game, I like to make my own country (obviously) and just have fun. But what I found to be incredibly alarming is that whenever I entered my desired information in the player details screen, everything that I personally input was erased, removed, and the replaced with the games default settings and player details.
- For example, this:Spoiler Screens :I use Atlantis and other mythological places just for fun, but whenever I start the game expecting inputs to be saved and applied, I get this: Naturally I think its a glitch, so I head to the player details tab and once again put my information in manually, thinking nothing of it. I use this: But when I finish and press enter, I and look at the game, nothing's changed. And going back to the player's details tab, I get this:
