You should add a more detailed description... what does your mod do? People won't bother to download something if they don't know what it will do.

**Sfinx** · May 21, 2005, 07:04 AM

Btw, I assume you meant "except" instead of "expect" *wink*

Thanks Sfinx,

Yeah, what does this mod do? You can't just say it changes everything. How does it change it? What's so great about this that we should download it? Does it make it harder? Does it change unit stats? Changes to trade? What does it do?

Now that's better

Has made me enough curious to download it and try it out after I finish my current campaign.

Known Issues:

Instant CTD (Crash to Desktop) - when clicking on Senate Office button
Volcano in middle of Italy

Senate button - no biggy, usually not playing Romans anyway. But what about that volcano - are you talking about the Vesuvius? What's wrong with it?

**wipeout140** · May 21, 2005, 10:29 AM

Nothing, it does nothing to the gameplay or the game.
It just looks odd there.

Heres what i mean

Not sure how it came to be there

**Sfinx** · May 21, 2005, 12:05 PM

*tongue* Heheh... well... that's supposed to be the Vesuvius, which erupted in 79AD, killing thousands of Romans which were present in the nearby cities. As far as I know it becomes active once or twice during the game (smoke coming out) but it never really erupts. Or I might be confusing it with the smoke coming out of the Etna.
