has anyone seen the RFRE mod yet? man these guys are getting good. better watch out thamis i saw a mod earlier today that was closing in on your turf. twas called paths of glory and was set as an ancient world scenario with same concepts as tam, cept no map. by the way does anybody out there recommend any mods? i gots em all: TET, RAR, TAM, Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire, Kaoz Tribe, Rood and the Dragon, WW2 Global, The Great War, Alexander 2.0, the Medieval Europe Mod. By the way has anybody had any screen problems with that last mod (if anybody has it)?
This thread is for discussing TAM. If you want to ask about another mod, ask in its respective thread.

In my opinion TAM is the most realistic and engrossing of the mods that you mentioned in your post. The only one that can give it a decent run for its money is Tet's mod/scenario because of the huge number of African, Latin American and Asian civs that are available to play (Abyssinia, Mali, Inca, Tibet, Cambodia etc.). Most of the other mods focus on European civs with one or two tokens from the above listed areas.

oh yeah i forgot to mention rhye's of civilization. i got that one too. but u gotta try rise and fall of the roman empire. the only playable civ are the romans but the mod is made so articulately around them it will pull you in, that is if you get around the latin. almost everything in the game is in latin like it was back then.Winterfell said:
Civ3 v1.29f requires the old TAM version 1.2
The latest TAM 2.5j is for C3C v1.22 only.

Probably not... go ahead and edit the coracle so it is available to Etruria. There may be an actual reason but we need to hear from thamis for that.

Hey Industrial my Conquests disc cracked into a million pieces, so I have to buy a new one. Copy protection really can cause one to scream some times. You cannot even make a legitimate backup copy to something you paid your hard-earned for.

Anyway, TAM sure is the best mod I´ve ever played so far, but it´s far too difficult for me. Playing as the Romans on Regent (!!!) I´m currently getting my arse whipped by the Iberian scum! Between Madrid and Marseilles there´s a large strip of land with dozens of ruins of once glorious cities...
I just can´t hold the area I´ve taken, they have like 20+ horsemen and my troops barely have a defence rating... My best defenders fall in 1on1 combat like flies so I don´t bother building them anymore. It´s a bloodbath, peace treaties get broken by the AI after 2 turns (!!!) and their bloody UU can move through mountains so I cannot attack them!
So you see, it´s still a long time before I´ll even try TAM multiplayer. Maybe I should start from chieftain again...

Wise words, though I have already come to that conclusion
What tactics would you propose? I mean, I have 8-2-1 units en masse, while my enemy has 8(8)-1-1 and 5-1-2 units en masse. My best defender is 2-4-1 and the same price as the attackers.
I already lost an entire army of broadswordsmen to those filthy Iberians... I thought this to be a cakewalk (on Regent...) but it turns out to be a bloody mess. Good job on the beefing-up part! But how about a hint or two on how to win this war?

If mountains are a problem, you need to build lots of archer class units. Broadswordsman just aren't gonna help.
You have to out produce them. With offensive only units, there are gonna be losses. Just make sure the other guy loses more than you do.
Try to always move in stacks. Solo units are sure loses.
If mountains/swamp are not a problem, use lots of fast movers. Same idea... keep them in stacks and hunt down thier stacks.

It's a good idea to take a mix of units. Some offensive and some defensive in a stack. Taking advantage of terrain was vital for winning or losing battles in ancient times -- this also applies to TAM.
Also remember that archers have defensive bombard.
