niektb Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 (edited) The Council is both happy and proud to announce a brand new release!!! I think this is what you all have been waiting for! Millennium A.D.'s first release ever! What is it?Millennium A.D. is a total conversion mod for 0 A.D. focusing on the Middle Ages. It is divided in two parts, this first one is focusing on the first half of the Middle Ages; the timeframe of Charlemagne and the Viking Age. The name of this release is Ashmen. This is the word Norsemen were called after by the Germans because they used Ash wood for their boats.What is new?This is our first release so in a way everything is new, but compared to last development the unit textures from the Norse faction are completely reworked (by wackyserious). Also we have better and more house variants. On top of that we have a new storehouse building. (all modeled by Stanislas69) I tried to capture everything in one high-res screeenshot:In the background on the right you see the new storehouse building. The two small buildings are two of the house variants. The units that you see are (nearly) all the new unit textures. Next to that we also added a Norse hero: Eiríkr hinn rauði (better known as Erik the Red):Who are we?The Council of Modders was formed up of two small modding teams and a few newcomers: Aristeia (about the bronze age) and Millennium A.D. (about medieval times) CoM aims to create a umbrella for all wannabee modders and help everyone needed and of course create their own projects.How to:1. Unzip the download but leave the inner archive intact.2. Place the unzipped folder into <installationdirectory>/binaries/data/mods. You'll see another folder there called 'public'.3. Launch the game and enable the mod in Options>Mod Selection. Press 'Start Mods'. 4. Enjoy the mod!Download:millenniumad.zipmirror:http://www.moddb.com/mods/millennium-ad/downloads/ashmen-19In the last few months some members retired leaving us shorthanded.

Tomcelmare Posted December 18, 2015 Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 (edited) I've got a (stupid?) question. Is it possible to have both "rise of the east" mod and "millenium" mod, or you have to get only one mod? Also, what are the civs available in this mod? Edited December 18, 2015 by Tomcelmare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niektb Posted December 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 Technically yes, that's possible. It's untested though.The current civ in Millennium A.D. is the Norse faction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, what are the civs available in this mod?I'm running both mods via command line "-mod=modname"Though, you may experience issues with the menu background and soundtracks from both mods mixing together..

Tomcelmare Posted December 18, 2015 Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 Well, I just tested, and I can have both the mods enabled, so I have two more civs now I like the norse buildings, especially the roofs. Congrats! I'm rellay impressed by all the progress made since fifteen (?) years now! With Aristeia, Rise of the East and Millenium, we'll going to have a full historical experience from the bronze age to the early middle ages! Wackyserious, I actually have the screen menu of Rise of the East, with the millenium logo and millenium music Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gameboy Posted December 18, 2015 Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 @wackyserious：Very beautiful work, I have a suggestion, the game background if it is a dynamic picture will be better, thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cje87 Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 I can't get the mod to work. After downloading the file and placing it under /binaries/data/mods I launched the game. I then opened mod selection and enabled it. After I hit start mod the game re-launched but no mod was there. I am sure the problem is on my end but can anyone assist me?

niektb Posted January 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 Could you tell what version of the game you are playing? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

niektb Posted January 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 (edited) To sketch your folder tree, it looks like this right? - /binaries - /config - ... (other folders) - /mods - /mod - /public - /millenniumad * millenniumad.zip * mod.json Could you post a few screenshots to show us your directories? (So I hopefully can see what's going on) I suspect that you have something like a millenniumad folder inside a millenniumad folder so that the .zip and the .json are in this directory: /binaries/mods/millenniumad/millenniumad/mod.json Edited January 29, 2016 by niektb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cje87 Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 Thanks for the help, I got it working now. You were right about the directory. Thanks again for the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
