I think you should put a few fish resources in the far eastern mediterranean to encourage the Phoenician AI to settle on the coast instead of further inland like Syria. Currently, the AI sees better locations inland, making phoenician city placement unrealistic and their UUs not very useful.

Overall these are good pictures; but the leaderhead of Hatshepsut is the most inaccurate depiction that I have ever come across. It looks more like that Macedonian transplant (Kleopatra) than someone from the Nile Valley.Notarzt said:To be honest, I already did that. But it won't be a historical correct picture. I had to make some compromises as I wanted to create leaderheads with the same basic design.
It should have been a surprise, but after all, why not post them here:

Please notice that they are an interim solution. We're planning to implement selfdesigned 3D-leaderheads.
So don't complain too much, they'll be gone sooner or later

The only criticism that I have as a participant in helping to flesh out TAM in Civ III is that there is presently no Nubia. Hopefully that will be rectified soon. As in everything this mod is a work in progress; positive criticism should and is welcomed by Thamis and his crew. But criticism in and of itself is a waste of everyone's time.Mr.Earl said:

i finally got TAM up and running after first failing at it one week ago. i am not patient with computer stuff, so each time it didnt work i walked away from it and did something else. Some of you gave encouragement and i do appreciate that.
the problem was i was using old or maybe only a partial 7zip, and then I wasnt using it correctly. After downloading several 7zip versions, one(or maybe it was two pieces you need to have together?) of them seemed to click and it was working. My next problem was that TAM works differently than previous mods. Although the first problem was getting 7zip to work, a second problem was i was not opening to the right place, despite thamis' clear instructions to load into civ 4 and not into mods.
It occurs to me the reason it worked today could have been that 1.6 TAM had something different in it that made it work. (shrug), its all voodoo to me.
you may imagine that i am computer illiterate and you would be right, although in real life stuff i am not so dumb. I am an old country doctor who simply distrusts computers. Soon i will have to use computer to document and to access medical records. Can you imagine how lost I am gonna be?
I might post a review of 1.6 after I play it a bit hopefully soon. Is there any aspect of the game that especially needs testing?

In 1.6, none of the smithies seem to become obsolete. I can now get a 70% strength bonus from smithies. This isn't intentional, is it?

Don't feel bad Doc. I am just a city social worker with a passion for history. By the way, I love your moniker General O.O. Howard!O.O. Howard said:
The Smythies will obsolete in next versions hopefully... Units will also be unable to have 2 kind of weapons promotions, as it is now, once the Python stuff is done.
Nubia: It's in there, as are Goths, Persia, and Etruria, but not on the map. there's not enough place on thet one for these anyways. Many other Civs are left to be added...

I can't change the name of cities. They are assigned on foundation and I couldn't change it llater on. This is frustrating, because I always like to name my cities according to historical and geographical accuracy, like Massilia, Tarentum, Caralis, etc. But now I have Cumae and Antium everywhere

In 1.5, tech discovery made them obsolete, and you could'nt get the bronze weapon upgrade anymore even if you didnt build an iron smithy, that's not what we want. the buildings are supposed to go obsolete upon completion of a more advance one.
