yeah, i know. this mod had the ultimate potential for coolness, just not enough 3d modelers. my mod goes a bit into the future if you would like to play it. the link is in my sig.

I have to say, this mod was innovative and interesting. and i have to vote that it has the best terrain set yet made for a mod, imo.
Im pretty new to Civ4 (any Civ game actually) and have just installed a few mods. But this one doesn't want to start up. I go to the advanced screen and select a mod, and its there. But when the game restarts to load it I get an error and it shuts down.
I just wish I could get it working cos it looks so cool, being a huge sci fi fan. Maybe a Stargate mod would be good!

this mod is rather abandoned. it is very unfortunate, since i felt this mod had some amazing potential.

Someone will make remake this game to something better, I still like this version theme song every time I load up this mod.

If this mod is a abandon mod, then I suggest this mod should go to the graveyard. Woodelf, if you have the knowledge of making your own mod, please remake this game but make it way much better then this! I will give you suggestions of many features that I can think of to help you out.
I'll make you a deal darkedone...if you want to keep suggesting AND go through this thread to list the bugs, fixes, and suggestions made by others and then jot them down here I'll take a look at putting up an update in my spare time. Purely XML and cosmetic stuff for now.
I do have a growing collection of sci-fi graphics to add in if there's a desire for me to do so.

by the way gentlemen, i would love to help. i also have some preexisting sci-fi units. and of course there are a few spaceships in the database too. perhaps if we crop out some of the less important units, we will be closer to have a real release!

sweet, it's time we give this new mod a new name... I think we should name it Song of the Universe. This mod must be able to colonized all the planets and maybe the moons, OR for random map making, We should be colonizing almost every generated planet and moon out there.
Uh...the map is set on the surface of the moon. Colonizing multiple planets is for the Interstellar Colonization mod or Vadus' mod not this one.
Nice to have you on board Tony. I don't know where this is headed since I'm doing SMAC, but the leftover buildings from SMAC can go here as well as some of the units.

ok then... Since there will be no colonizing other planets, that just void the name of song of the universe.
Are you planning on adding in a storyline for this mod? If so, then the other mod name should be "Earth's New Moon", and features them screenshots during the loading screen showing what happens to the moon, and how the humans reconstructed the moon by this and that.

Yeah, Lunar Dream sounds better, if your adding a storyline to this game, then count me in... I love making short stories that will make this mod a little interesting.
Are you going to add in new terrain? Are you going to add in events that could destroy the moon (similar to the Armageddon thing that FfH 2 has)?

Yeah, the Armageddon counter is really is a good idea, there got to be a point where the moon will be destroyed, and we do need to borrow or make some new terrain to place in the map to tell how much the moon is taking damage.
We do also need some natural happenings, something like that plague they did on the total realism mod, and make a different natural happening, meteorite hits... the moon have been hit a lot with these rocks, and it still protects the earth from them 80% of the time, now all we need is to add that in the game.
Once the meteorite hits a terrain, that terrain will become unusable till 20 turns, after the 20 turns, the land can be used again. If there is a city that got hit, it will take a lot of damage (building losses and populations only).
Now we need to set up a different space race on the game as well, change the name of the space race to Mars Colonize. More infomation later.
