Rise of Nations: Thrones and Patriots - 0wca's EPIC modpack v.5.02 - Game mod - Download

0wca's EPIC modpack is a mod for Rise of Nations: Thrones and Patriots, created by 0wcabibi88.

Description:

This modpack adds all the additions from the TaP Redux mod and also completely overhauls the game. Each age now feels more extended and isn't rushed, as well as gameplay is more strategic than just spamming units from production facilities. It is best used in multiplayer, although the computer can be quite a challenge on the higher difficulties. It also tries to re-balance the entire game and add unique units to underwhelming nations and take away unique units from overpowered ones.

BUILDINGS THAT COST MORE THAN 1MIL RESOURCES:

These buildings were included in the TaP Redux mod, and this was my workaround of disabling them, since its almost impossible to amass so much resources in a single game. If I simply disabled them from the game, it started crashing for some weird reason on random times during the game. The reason I wanted to disable them was because the computers were building them like crazy, wasting resources and screwing with pathfinding so I thought best to not use them. They actually don't give anything anyway, just diversity to your town so it can upgrade to a higher level.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The changes in this mod are extensive. Below are some of the highlights:

As of version 5.0, all civilizations have 5-7 unique units, spread out through most of the ages. A few still remain, that I will add at a later time, to ideally, make every nation have 6-7 uniques with at least one in Industrial Age or later.

20 'NEW' UNITS:

RAH-66 Comanche and MB-1 light bomber (America)

Inti Tribesmen, Peruvian Guard and Elite Peruvian Guard (Inca)

Chola Ship (India)

Mitsubishi Ki-51 (Japan)

Turtle Ship (Korea)

Lakota Riflemen, AN/TWQ-1 and Lakota Supply Wagon (Lakota)

T-54 and BMP-1 (Mongolia)

Holy Roman Knight and Panavia Tornado (Romans)

Man O' War (Spain)

F.H. 98/09 and T-155 Firtina (Turks)

as well as several units from TaP redux that have been re-textured, made into unique units and re-balanced for this mod

BUILDINGS:

Redoubts have much bigger range, to cope with increased range bonus from CEO

Supply wagons have more range; all supply wagons heal units, French supply wagons heal at double speed

Aircraft costs more pop limit

Tanks take 2 pop instead of 1 (increased pop limit because of this)

Nations:

added several new (previously disabled by default) powers

re-balanced existing powers

Wonders:

give more balanced bonuses

Scouts 2x faster

Nukes now VERY EXPENSIVE and take A LOT OF TIME TO BUILD, but also increased damage and blast radius

FUTURE PLANS:

add more unique units (to the point where every nation has 6-7 and at least 1 is in Industrial age or later)

naval generals (will be hard to do, depends on the amount of "free" entries I have left in the data files)

re-balance everything as best as possible
