Mod recommendation plz: More of everything

[SanPellegrino]

Just like everybody else I got to bide my time 'til CiV comes out. So I thought I try one of the several elaborated mods. The only ones I played extensively were FFH and TAM.

Now I got a new comp and I want to test it to its limits So I want more of everything, bigger maps, more civs, more corporations, wonders, units, just everything. I don't care that much about historical accuracy or balanced AI.

So what would you recommend:

- Rise of Mankind with giant maps?

- World of Legends with hero units and a lot more civs?

- Overlord with more UUs, Religions, Corporations?

- or something entirely different?

Thanks in advance

Yeah, pretty much this. If it's about "MORE! FEED ME!", then AND is pretty much *the* reference mod for CivIV (and I don't even like "more" mods a lot - and I'm still impressed by AND).

Alternatively, if you want to tax your PC and history isn't a must... the Rise from Erebus modmod for FfH2 is also huge and tends to be slow...

Cheers, LT.

Hmm... try RFCM and wait 'til the modern era.

Thanks for the input, guys! I'll give ROM with AND a shot.

Kiwitt, your scenario looks pretty interesting too, although I prefer the classical from "stone age to space flight" game. But btw you wrote in system requirements "5: Windows 7 64 is recommended as is 6 GB of RAM or more".

Can Civ 4 use that much RAM, I thought no 32bit program can use more than 2 GB anyway?

Civ 4 "Beyond the Sword" 3.xx version is "Large Address Space Aware" ... i.e. on Win 64 it can access the full 4 GB of RAM, that a 32-bit program can address.

I agree that RFCM could be harsh for hardware XD Despite you get no more kinds of units, etc. playing as USA requires really a powerhouse XD
