Need Help Installing ROM+AND+CoC

[Kordanor]

Heya,

after playing Civ5 for a short time I feel like playing a game with epic proportions again and therefore I thought playing ROM+AND+CoC would be a cool choice.

Unfortunately I don't get it running. But I also have some issues with the basic understanding about how Civ IV Mods work.

So as far as I understand I need to install it in the following Order:
ROM (2.92)
AND (1.75)
CoC (1.1+Patch)
(The CoC Installation consists of creating the Hashishim directory, pasting it into Rise of Mankind/Assets/Modules/ and modifying the MLF_CIV4ModularLoadingControls.xml)

The first thing I don't understand is the installation of AND: Why do I need to have the correct version of ROM installed if AND is in a completely different directory anyways? Does the installer Copy ROM Files into the AND directory?

ROM Alone works fine. Starting AND after the installation runs fine as well. Doing the CoC Changes into the ROM directory works for ROM, but after that it is not included in AND. Doing the CoC Changes (copy dir and xml change) within the AND dir leads to errors when launching AND.

Well, actually I am quite sure that I did everything as it was instructed, but maybe I don't know anything elemental everyone else takes for granted.

So it would be great if anyone can help me here.

PS: Does anyone know a world map working with these mods, preferably with real starting positions? I only found http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=371247 but it only contains 44 Civs and has some other issues for me.

AND 1.75 is a standalone mod, meaning it has nothing to do with RoM anymore even though it uses all of RoM's files. Try putting CoC (what is that anyway?) into the AND/Assets/Modules folder and don't forget to add the line in the MLF_CIV4ModularLoadingControls.xml it should work then.

Ah, I understand. I guess AND is not up to par to RoM though? I realized RoM had many additional unique Civ units which AND does not have. In addition AND says in the FAQ that you can choose the different modules you want to install in the installation. Well, basically all I could choose there was some new interface colors, blue marble terrain and formations.

Anyways, with CoC I meant Clash of Civilizations: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=365268
I already did as you mentioned, as this is also mentioned in the file of Clash of Cilivlizations. However it does not seem to work for AND. Including CoC to ROM is not a problem though, works perfectly there.

Thanks for helping!

CoC might not work with 1.75 since it's not getting updated anymore.

Ah, I see. Too bad but I guess we can expect something cool for Civ V then.

There's is another mega pack being made for AND 1.75 in the works right now:

Also if you download the startegyonly's prehistoric mod it has some extra civs. It has AND in it already and a bunch of other modmods:

Most of the options were moved into gameoptions instead of installer options. AND still has all the UU's in ROM, I've simply changed the way they appear. Instead of cluttering the civilopedia with dozens of identical units (but with different names), I've given Civ's unique artwork for them. AND still has all the variety RoM did, but without the clutter.

does this mean that if I cannot get ROM to run (after installing it), i can still install AND, and I can play AND?

Yes. If you download and install "Rise of Mankind - A New Dawn" you wont need RoM to play it. Make sure you have AND 1.75 (or higher e.g. 1.75C) and this is so.

And as exchange for CoC you can use the AND Mega Civ Pack, which you can find here:
