mod recommendations?

[Avicenna]

Gold is essentially the same, except for the changes made in patch 1.5. Gold uses RTW patched to 1.2, Platinum to 1.5. Platinum's download link is from the forums, I'm afraid. You can use the Will of the Senate files, found in the Throne Room topic called the Will of the Senate FAQ. However, this has got files of all the mods we're using in the Will of the Senate, so it will give you RTR PE, the Naval mod, Metropolis mod and landblock mod. These make the AI use their navy more effeciently, makes a navy harder to build (only certain ports can build naval warships) and cities harder to hold, as only some have walls. The landblocks stop Bactria expanding into the steppe and stop the Ptolemaics/Carthagians doing a pre-enactment () of Rommel.
