<div class="IPBDescription">i need some mods</div> well i just got the demo for rise of nations thrones and patriots, and well, its kinda cool, just, like the first one it can get old fast...really fast. The reason it does in my opinion is you have to do the same thing to each city you create, which gets really really really old.
I was wondering if anyone knew of any mods that got those buildings to auto build with the click of a button, or make you only build them in one city. Or if you know any just tell me some bad **** mods that you liked (that change game play not just graphics)
/edit I dont think RON-TAP is out yet i just want reg RON mods <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

There aren't any mods that will build the buildings for you (it's kind of a necessity in RTS games), but there are some that change how the game works (no nukes, one end tech only). The only true mod there is is a Warhammer 40,000 mod (that is unfinished and doesn't look overly nice).
That's about all I know of.
DGN, I suspect you're getting bored of RON either because you've been playing CTW, or are doing something wrong (probably overdoing your economy, cuz normally there isn't all that much building to do). The expansion should make single-player more fun, but still the best way to play the game is in multiplayer games, either you and a buddy versus some computers or human-human competition.
Then it's more like a couple of nations with generala attacking eachother instead of hey, this is me, I'm building, time to send some dudes over there. I think this game needs an Aliens versus Predator mod...now that'd be nice.
(or an NS mod...you know, but I can't model or texture units, heh..and I don't know about the tools either)
I'm wondering if anyone knows of any world map kind of things (or possible mods) of RoN...you know, instead of the "World Map, Classic to Information Age" think for Conquer the World. I've tried searching a bit with google, but that just brings up FAQs with questions like "is there a world map for multiplayer" kind of things.
I find that Conquer the world is too short and the territories are to big. So, if there's a map editor or something, I could make a world map with smaller territories, more turns and more resources and stuff to collect (since there's 17 or 18 nations and only 30 or so territories).
So, any conquerers maps or conquer the world map editors?
I've found a new map to play, it's a Europe (with 1500's based names and civilizations.
You can download it (~ 4mb) <a href='http://ron.heavengames.com/gallery/Mod_Album/aas' target='_blank'>here</a>
There's a readme that tells you how to install it in the zip file's 1500_europe\tomove folder (just dig a bit).
There is a terrible bug in it, that took me around an hour to find. So, after you throw all your stuff in there (I don't think you even really need to overwrite your help.xml, unitrules.xml or rules.xml - my rules don't seem any different and the map still goes from Classic to Information Age, just 5 turns per age now, and a lot more lands). Wouldn't have found it for awhile if I didn't play Russians first...heh:

There is a line (once you install the stuff) in .\conquest\1500_europe.xml that needs to be altered, it's near the top (just look for all the CONTINENT declarations.
<CONTINENT name="the Commonwealth of Poland-Lithuania" id="P" barbarians_file="1500barbarians_poland.xml" image_file="./conquest/1500 Europe/victory_poland.png" />
This line needs to be changed to:
<CONTINENT name="the Commonwealth of Poland-Lithuania" id="P" barbarian_file="1500barbarians_poland.xml" image_file="./conquest/1500 Europe/victory_poland.png" />
You'll notice 'barbarian_file' now has the 's' removed... Yep...one little s.

Works fine for me, it's pretty fun, as it's basically just a lot more territories (only in Europe), spread out over a longer period of time. Maybe the 'putting it in the 1500's' works for you guys.
I would send the bug to the French guy that made it, but I can't find his E-mail address anywhere on the site or the readme (along with some more English-ly correct spellings of some of the Russian city names).
So, any troubles installing it and I can try to help you out.
