Imperium Romanum [BTS]

[NBAfan]

I've been away from Civ for quite a while. Always was a sucker for ancient Rome. Decided to give this a try; but have forgotten how to properly install the mod and then how to start it. Old age demetia is setting in. Please help.

Place it in this folder: C:\Program Files\Firaxis Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 4\Beyond the Sword\Mods
Then start the game, click on Advanced and click load mod, then click on the mod you want to play.

There is a problem in the Multiplayer - 200 BC Grand campaign ( might be in others as well - havent tried them so far). When we reach 150 BC the game gets an error and kicks me out. I played as egypt and other folks seem to be alright so it might be just an Egypt thingie...
Try to fix it if you can.

P.S. I tried to replace The bug in Assets\XML\GameInfo\GameSpeedInfo.xml as sugested above but a series of errors appear when the game starts and then it crashes. At least in multiplayer this fix does'nt seem to work.
Good luck with the mod, I hope you fix all the problems because I REALY REALY like it!

Sorry for delay. Hadden't updated to 3.19 and had to finish other game. Loaded as you said. Found IR in advanced mod area and clicked on it. IR seemed to load, and stated such in upper left corner of screen but no new maps, and no different choices of countries. Loaded the same old game. Now what?

Did you update to 3.19? It will not work unless you do so.

Please check the folder structure.
It should be BtS\Mods\Imperium Romanum\Assets\etc.
If there's another Imperium Romanum folder in the Imperium Romanum folder, then move all the things from the second folder in the first folder, and try it again.

This is a great mod, it remerber me a lot one of Arne, a german guy that stopped post here some years ago, has he been working in it too?

Is the 1.2 version in the deutch forum translated to english?

 

[The_J]

Yes, it should be translated.

Mmhh...where has fromAustria gone? I think, i have to kick his a*** to look a bit more in here.

 

[MightyOne]

Yeah, I agree.
This mod is really good, only thing i don't like in it is that disappearing of units. Let's say, that I am Seleucid empire - i have the highest scores in the game. But my units are on the strike and they started desappearing. This is really annoying, becouse, even if i late in the game get highest scores, there is same issue.
Otherwise brilliant mod

2) To make Gaul harder to conquer, consider having their cities on hills and give their units guerilla promotions. This is realistic as Gauls always built their forts on hills and even a mighty Roman army lead by Caesar would suffer heavy casualties conquering a fort like Alesia. This improvement also wouldn't give a human playing the Gallic tribes a big advantage.

good idea

3) Germanic tribes should be much stronger. I haven't gotten to invading them yet, but my one stack of 20 units (I have like 5) can obliterate them completely and historical Rome never managed to conquer you guys . In addition, Germanic tribes did not have a Celtic religion afaik - put in a new Germanic religion and get rid of Buddhism which does not have any significance in the scenario even if present in a few Bactrian cities.

a germanic religion is one thing that i am advised, but the religion is only for the german tribes, and nothing else, i didnt implemented it. but you are right, the buddhism is a useless religion in this mod

4) Carthage has a fairly weak navy so maybe fix that.

with carthage you can build very easy a strong fleet, because they have the doubleharbor in quarthadast

5) The Central Asian plains are empty so add the Scythians or Sarmatians. For their units, you can add the graphics from Keshiks and Horse Archers since these are the kind of units these Turkic/Mongolic tribes used. Give them like 10 cities with minimal infrastructure but a lot of mounted units and make them at war with the Persian factions or the Dacians.

this is one idea for a additional map, but in the old i want to make hard attacks from barbarian horsearchers in the late game

6) Finally, this is something that doesn't bother me but may turn some users off - some of the text in the game is in German instead of English like leader traits. Once again, I'm totally cool with it but others may not be.

the newest version is already finish, but the events are only on german, so i want to make an translate before i am upload it here

. a part from the first douzouns of turns where I need to "manage" my empire, the rest of the game looks just like an endless unit building and warring, am I wrong?

this is one thing that i will change in the next versions with more buildings, more technologys, cost-intensive units, and more features

There is a problem in the Multiplayer - 200 BC Grand campaign ( might be in others as well - havent tried them so far). When we reach 150 BC the game gets an error and kicks me out. I played as egypt and other folks seem to be alright so it might be just an Egypt thingie...
Try to fix it if you can.

thank you for the advice

But my units are on the strike and they started desappearing. This is really annoying, becouse, even if i late in the game get highest scores, there is same issue.

this is the challenging on the seleucids, you have a great empire, but a weak economy, build more buildings for your economy, change your civics to the best for , and build in the citys

thank you all , and sorry for my bad english

 

[MightyOne]

yeah, I know it is for that It's just ... annoying. You should place one archer per each city, that army woudn't be so good ore somethin. Becouse this unit disappearing ... The same is with Genghis Khan mod

Otherwise, really great mod, just as I said.
It has god big pallete of units and LH's which is veery good.

Maybe you could add some civilization or maybe create new scenarios? I can't wait for the update.

ps: Your english isn't really bad, mine definitely is

 

[fromAustria]

Maybe you could add some civilization or maybe create new scenarios? I can't wait for the update.

maybe the sarmatians for a alternative campaign (but by these i am not assured), otherwise only renamed old civs for example Ilyrians (dacians) or the kingdom of massylia (numidians)

and creating scenarios is my hobby, i love it

 

[gmithe26]

i can't download it

 

[grad]

[fromAustria]

Is this mod supported anymore?

yes, but currently i dont have enough time (i have to much projects for my free time)

i can't download it

my internet is broken-down, at the moment i think i cant upload it , but i will try it

and into the bargain, my display is f***** up

 

[fromAustria]

ok, my internet have allowed to upload it it is version 1.2 , but the events are only on german, so when you play on english you have to play without events... sorry

I tried to download the mod at megaupload, but is says: file is not available

Then, I tried to download it at rapidshare, but there was another error message:
"This file has already been downloaded 10x, this is the limit and the file may not be downloaded further"

(see whole message in German)

Would be cool, if you could re-upload this promising mod - perhaps at WePlayCiv?

Yeah, Rapidshare sets a limit of 10 downloads, unless it's from a "collector's account". So just change it to that and then we can get it!
