When I have any free time that I'm not spending on Matrix Games "War in the Pacific" (finally really understand this game and reckon I might try a PBEM after the new Admiral's Edition comes out) I'll play a few turns on one of the two or three games of Civ4 BTS with the History in the Making Mod.

If you guys have not checked it out, you should. Best BTS mod I've seen by far.

I was minded to compare this site to a sort-of-private Facebook, but, on reflection, that's not right . . . Nope. Here is a forum to exchange views and discuss topics and maybe have some literary fun; post some interesting pics (not Megabits of family krap); flag up some internet sites of Interest; pass on the occasional joke. To me, (struggling for analogy here) it's bit more like a quiet and cosy pub with locals you know and the occasional visitor from "outside"; thick stone walls and a cellar full of well-kept ale. Facebook, on the other hand, is some awful massive city-centre club that serves Fosters lager.   And, you know what? I am not unhappy with that analogy. I prefer the pub.

The thing I really like about this mod is that it makes combat a bit more realistic, what with all the different units, and different promotions. Esp. if you play on really slow setting . . . then you get the problems with how tactically feckless the AI is, but *sigh* at least you're facing a feckless computer opponent with something like a more realistic OOB.

What's an OOB, or did you leave a B off the front?

If you say "Judaism" I'm going to start rolling in laughter.

Well... there are 3 leaders in the mod with Judaism as favourite religion. Two of them are the two Israeli leaders, Kings David and Salomon...

This mod really is amazing guys.

Arty works about the way it should. The promotions/buildings/etc. actually allow you to build a custom built army. You can use generals to create a building called an "Armory" that allows all units built in that city free upgrades when they are eligible . . . got 15 longbows lurking around when you finally discover muskets . . . *poof* you got 15 muskets for free (assuming they have that free upgrade promotion from being built in the armory)

Lots of other stuff too that really fleshes out the game a lot nicer. It is in a similar flavor as the old Double Your Pleasure mod for C3C which was then redone as "Rise and Rule." But this HiTM mod is a bit more balanced, and a bit less overflow of extra junk than in DYP or RAR.

I've got a Prince game as the Vikings, with everything totally random that looks like it is going to be really fun one to play out.
