Installation of Mods

[InsertWeirdNameHere]

I was told that mods from the older version of RoN would work on the Extended version. The problem is is that there is no mods folder so I don't know where to put the mod. Is it like in Paradox games where I have to make my own mods folder?

Yes, you'll need to create your own folder called "mods".

Me is wondering where

I assume in the root folder of the game.

I finally found it! You create a mods folder in the Rise of Nations game folder and when you press solo game, there is a list on the side that allows you pick which mod you want. Now I have another question. Do any of you know any good WC Campaigns mods like the 5 in the game?

This is something that I've been working on. Stayed tuned for the next patch :)

Just a quick request - I like to mod the tga files to make my units look a little different. But the Steam verification doesn't like this. Can you check to see if there's a way to allow these sorts of "deep mods"? I.e. mods that are not contained strictly within the mods folder.

[morness]

Yeah, the key mantra is never modify original files. That's what mods are for -- and all mod files will live separate from the game files.

I've been trying to install the rise of kings mod 1.2 and or 1.3 and had no luck. Is this because of something you're trying to implement?

[super7700]

In what way does it not work? Does the game crash when you try loading the mod or is there no option to play the mod in the quick battle setup menu (under game mods)?

[Mowlana Gains]

the mod crashes

[super7700]

In that case I believe the problem is either with the mod or how you've installed it, because mods should work in the extended edition. I'm not really sure what the problem is, do you get a particular error message? When does the crash occur?

First thing you should do is check that the mod's art folder is located in "mods/Rise of Kings 1.0/art".

I did this with the Thrones and Patriots Redux mod (which makes available the ironclad and ship of the line along with some other units, and some minor changes), and it's simply not selectable. Any idea why?

[Dragonborn]

Nvm, didn't have it in a specifically named folder. Gotta make sure to do that every time.
