RoM Latest Version

[Ironmann]

What do I have to do if I want to have Stacked Attack and Archer Bombard in my game? It says there Deactivated in the start of the game.
I deleted my last Rom before I installed the 2.3.

At least there are more activated now, my Rom 2.2 had only 2-4 things activated and I had installed and removed and replaced the required files etc.

Enough whining, Thanks for an extreme good mod to civ!
This and Foh is the only two mods I play with civ Iv!

@Ironmann

In "Rise of Mankind\assets\xml\" Open the file GlobalDefinesAlt.xml in Notepad. You will find tags for each DCM component.

http://www.mediafire.com/ <-- perhaps your'll can use this as a secondary place to upload the files, as filefront is awfully very unreliable , i had to download the mod twice in order for it to be downloaded properly as the links kept on dropping.

 

[Hashishim]

oh and sorry for this im not sure wether my post earlier went through, what i need to know is, i have downloaded couple Modular Civs for BTS 3.17, how do i make them compatible with ROM? can you please tell me what do i need to do and change etc.

 

[Agent327]

I noticed that on the EarthStd23Civs map Assyria starts South of Egypt (should be Northeast of Babylon/North of Sumeria). On the 28 civs map the Zulus start in Congo/Zaïre. Other than that everything looks fine!

 

[Hashishim]

i am attempting to merge other civs into this mod, refer to the thread i made for more details, but im gettin and error when the game loads , but it runs after it though,

Tag UNITCOMBAT_AIR in InfoClass was incorrect
Current XML File is ......\Modules\Custom Civilizations\Iraq\Units\Iraq_CIV4UnitInfos.xml

Any idea how to solve it? Note. There where other errors but they were all repetititve of the same files, and same InfoClass just different CIV, but the civs that i have tried to merge. I looked at the xml file and im not really sure what to actually edit or change there.

 

[Hashishim]

ive managed to merge 100% the following civs: Peoples Republic of China, North & South Korea, Iran, Iraq, Soviet Union, Venezeula, and the Vatican City. Will upload it as soon as possible. Credit given to the Modders who creaeted the civs, i just took them and made it compatible to RoM.

 

[cr0ws]

I just stopped to say what a wonderful mod this is! THIS is how BTS should have felt in game play from the install. This mod triples BTS Playability. A little more polishing up here and there (like clerics and buildings and other minor stuff) and this will be a mandatory add on for Civ 4! Thanks you very lot for this!

 

[truetom]

I can't find the post - which file do you have to edit to limit the number of civs in the game? Thanks.

TT

Edit: found it.
