I have just been playing GEM without RoM and realised there are many thing that need changing from GEM to RoM.
1. in the GEM mod Turkey has been edited to mean the turks and their city names changed accordingly (Samarkand...), but in Rom GEM they start in turks area but have ottoman names (Istanbul).
2. in the GEM mod Byzantine has been edited to mean Hungary and their city names changed accordingly(Budapest...), but in Rom GEM they start in Hugary area but have byzantine names names (Constantinople).
I tried fixing this once but couldn't find the names for all the civs. Maybe I'll try it again. I'm also going to look into making a mod that brings the banners for the new civs into ROM.
3. i dont know if this is just your preference but why does each civ start with a unit placed far away from their capitol? it means it is much harder to see stuff on the minmap and in some cases messes up the game (maya kills roman settler), (turks kill maya settler).
That's a bug. I don't remember what causes it but I think it has something to do with the "Start as Minors" option.
4. you have filled in the desert floodplains in amsterdam with marsh floodplains but doesnt the same need to be done in china, east india, siam, mexico and great plains and a little bit in central africa. (i think flood plains have been put instead of grass here to give more food (alike in amsterdam) but they look out of place.)
I just did that for the Netherlands because I know that that place is marshy. I don't know exactly which terrain would be appropriate for those other areas. Maybe just plains?
5. in RoM now pre-astronamy boats can move across ocean with a high chance of dying, but there is only one line of ocean at alska/russia and greenland/iceland so it is very easy to get to america early on. (perhaps a RoM problem though)
News to me. Are you sure it isn't a modmod that does this?
