This is the prior V.85 release, please patch or download the new v1.0 that includes fixes and improvements... From Ashes We Rise is a continuation mod for Ashes of Erebus (Fall From Heaven mod series) that adds 3 new civilizations at the same caliber and quality of the original FFH civs. Each new civilization has custom art work, 3D models, mechanics, and play styles. Gerudo features Ganondorf and Nabooru as its leaders; Alagaësia features Eragon Shadeslayer as its leader, and Noldor features Fingolfin and Fëanor as its leaders. This is being released as Version .85 with one planned update to follow soon to finish in game text and minor tweaks that shouldn't break saves. If popular enough, I will continue to update this mod with new civs every month or 2.
To install, place the Ashes of Erebus folder into C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Sid Meier's Civilization IV Beyond the Sword\Beyond the Sword\Mods... If you are not using the steam version or you have installed Civilization 4 somewhere else, just place the folder into the beyond the sword mod folder where it is located for you.
IMPORTANT FIXES!
From Ashes We Rise v0.85
Icon fix for steam-
1. Change Windows locale to English (if its not already);
2. Right-click Civ4:BtS in Steam, click "Properties" -> "Betas" tab -> choose "original_release_unsupported";
3. Set both FromAshesWeRise.exe (in AoE mod folder) and Civ4BeyondSword.exe (in BtS folder) to run as administrator and under Win7 compatibility mode;
4. Run the game using FromAshesWeRise.exe. Problem solved!
Animations not working in Civilopedia-
1.Change the graphics settings in the advanced->options menu while in game to high. Everything else can be set to whatever you need, as long as that one setting is high animations will work.
Units reverting to original models while in game-
1. Have frozen animations turned off (not checked) in the advanced-> options menu.
Lots of work put into the design of the new civs, with an interesting new flare of strategy incorporated into each one. New civs are made to feel familiar, taken from their source material and placed neatly into the format Civ4 offers. Great mod overall
Thank you for your informative comment, I am glad you like it!
A great work of art!
Thanks for the kind words! Hope you enjoy!
