[rush83]

hi

i`m a complete newbe here and here are so many mods, but i want a mod which give a graphical modifikation of the units and/or landscape, and improves the gameplay. and not the heaven modifikation..this looks great but i want a mod that gives me a "realistic" feeling.. (from antike to future)

what mod can you recommend to me??
(I´m Austrian it would be very cool to play with the austrians)

thanks!!!!!

This is a very individual based on what each person likes. It essentially comes down to your personal tastes.

Based on what you've said I would look in the Mods forum for "diverse unit" based mods, such as EDU or Veritas or others based on them.

thanks dale!

first i want to test your mod and the Earth 1862 mod. is there any mod manager? like in MTW 2, that i can choose the mods ```??????

In the game select the Advanced menu and then Load a Mod. It'll list the compatible mods you have installed.

Once you load a mod it says the name of the mod at the top-right.

Good luck.

Check what people voted . Link in my sig (though only 1/3 of active mods in it, could not make the poll bigger).

Rise of Mankind - it massively extends gameplay, gives dozens of all new units and techologies. Graphics have been added to give more civs unique looking units. Make sure you get the RevDCM addon as well.
The whole mod is about 120mb.

Merged mods was my favorite(when is that going to go 3.17???) Wolfenshanze adds much needed boost to navies.

If you want to play as "Austria", you might want to play the fully-featured Austrians (with custom leaders, units and music) in the Wolfshanze Mod (see my sig-line)... a full list of customized Austrians, units, troops, ships and all from ancient times to modern... only mod to feature the SMS Tegetthoff for example! It's all there for Austria... even has some Mozart and Beethoven diplomacy music!

Oh... and the rest of the mod is nice too... give it a try!

Recognize anything on the bottom-right?

It's going there now! I started converting this over yesterday, it will probably take me about a week, I guess. So hopefully sometime next weekend, if all goes well.

also you mentioned a mod manager.... I use civ4fans. Its easy to use and you can switch between mods very easily, without even starting up civ 4, and going through the load mod phase. www.civ4fans.com
