The Dust Settles Mod

[LildawgGaming 115]

So, The Dust Settles has been made into a full blown mod. I have a trick for full on mods that I will share with you.

First the story:
In 2052, World War 3 broke out and destroyed society. Thankfully, the fallout wasn't as bad as they initially thought it would be, so humanity was able to rebuild within 100 years and take back most of the planet, except for most of Africa.
With the less sparsely populated World and even less resources than we once had, wars are more common.

 

Notes:
-Africa and Australia was added. However... I ALSO ADDED THE AMERICAS! MEANING THE WHOLE WORLD IS AVAILABLE!

-A new Royalty Free Sountrack made by the awesome folks at TeknoAXE. Certain nations will get a theme song. I have already given a few some, but I would like YOU GUYS to decide which nations should get one in the next update. 😄 More on that below.

-New darker and Gloomy map to fit the ruined world theme.

-New Governments, will most likely add more in the future.

-And of course, new nations and leaders. Which brings the mod up to a total of 107 Nations, 106 of which have leaders.

 

Future Plans:
-I will be porting the previous and more classic versions of The Dust Settles over into the mod, meaning you can play in the classic "Western Russia and Eastern Europe" setting from the first ever scenario.

 

How to install the mod, and my trick for having mods.

Step 1: Open My Computer and head into your Local Disc.

Step 2: Click on "Program Files (x86)", then "Steam", then "SteamApps", then "common". You should be in a series of folders that say the names of the games on your Steam.

Step 3: Create a new folder, name it anything for right now.

Step 4: Go into your Age of Civilizations folder and select all of the non-folder files. Copy them into your new folder.

Step 5: Add the folders from The Dust Settles Mod into the New Folder.

Now what I just did here is have you make an alternative file for the mod. The game looks for the file called "Age of Civilizations II". This means that if you rename your original AoC2 folder to something else, and name your mod folder to "Age of Civilizations II", it will look in that folder instead, which runs the mod. Then if you want to go back to the original game, do the same thing. I do this with all of my mods, which is how I am able to switch between the regularly and very easily.

Unfortunately, the mod has gotten so damn big, I cannot upload it on this forum. So I will have to upload it to another site for download.

Here ya go: https://drive.google.com/open?id=19e6gwATBYgxYAta1cePDmY69Xg8g8IYJ

 

This mod was alot of work... I hope you enjoy it. I plan to update it as time goes on.

Also, give the guys who made the music you hear in the mod a visit. https://www.youtube.com/user/teknoaxe

Sorry, you footage looks horrible.

Nice mod, although it could use some work in a few areas.

My footage is terrible because my computer is terrible. Cannot run a different recorder without it breaking part way through, and then sometimes even forcing me to reboot the whole computer.

Yes, it does need a little work. Will change a few flags around and add more themes to the various nations. This is my first mod and I am still figuring things out.

This looks real good. 

All it needs is new flags.

I don't plan on making completely new modded flags. There are 107 Unique Countries in this mod that I would have to make flags for. There is a reason I am only adding a few theme songs at a time. I will be updating flags through the editor to try and make them unique though. Just don't expect modded flags.

You could add events in the scenario

There is a reason I did not add events.

I want the player to build their own story within the scenario and want complete randomness to what happens in-game.

However if it is indeed highly demanded, I will make a second scenario with events.

At least you can put more effort on the flags

Refer to what I said earlier about flags right here.

No problem dude. I may do a major flag update in the future, but flags are not a major focus right now.

I don't have the mental capacity to try and learn how to do that. If demand is high, I can try and get someone who is skilled at porting PC scenarios to Android and have them do it for me.

Update 1.2 Available:
