Rise of the Moderns (cap 2) Forge of Storms

The early modern period was a watershed moment in the history of all mankind. It didn't just witness the rise of unprecedented technological innovation in industry, but the emergence of a single crucial idea: that all human beings are equal, and so are worthy not just of freedom, but are also deserving of peace, dignity and perpetual harmony.

Today, however, THESE THINGS ARE UNDER GREATER THREAT than never before, even as the need for them has all but increased. We at Beelim Solutions[www.patreon.com] thus humbly ask, that should you have enjoyed this mod, you make a donation to any or all of the charities listed below.

"The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865)

As its name suggests, Forge of Storms[modernity.fandom.com] is a sub-mod meant to be a sequel to Ultima Ratio[modernity.fandom.com] and extends the scope and timeline of Ultima Ratio well beyond the Napoleonic Wars and towards the end of the 19th century, eventually covering several more conflicts in the process, most notably the all-consuming American Civil War and the Franco-Prussian War. Like all Rise of Nations mods, it has its own set of 24 factions as well as its own wonders, all loosely based on the Rise of Napoleon mod by Ray Tang.



In addition to Ultima Ratio...

History, expanded.
This time, post-1830s conflicts and colonial wars are now investigated and reflected in this mod, ranging from Siam's and Vietnam's bids for independence, in addition to more well known flashpoints in Europe and the New World.

Custom units & structures
- Unit makeovers. Some units, including Danish kanonchalup, Rocket artillery, Barbary corsairs and the ship of the line all received new skins and animations.
- More and more historical units, ranging from Peruvian breñeros irregulars to zouaves, Greek tribal militia and even Texan cavalry and machine guns.
- More naval units and artillery units, courtesy of Petar Tsarev[p2t5r.itch.io].
- A whole new complement of weapons, ranging from rifled guns to torpedo boats and submarines form the arsenals of this mod chapter.
- A vast new array of Wonders and defensive structures await your build orders.

19th century historicity
- New factions and new powers have been added. The number of German and Muslim factions have been reduced, but new Asian and American factions, including Mexico and Texas are now present.
- Updated tech tree to reflect the 19th century and its most prominent technological, organizational and cultural developments.
- Politics, intrigue and asymmetric warfare options. Unleash terror upon your opponents with Spies and Terrorists and Partisans.



While we take pains to ensure a smooth player experience, we nevertherless advise players to take note of all the following data whenever they start a new game:

- Factions chosen
- Map size
- Presence of snow/water
- (if a crash occurs) what you were doing and what age you were in when it happened.

These are issues that are being looked at and which should be corrected in future.

In the meantime we advise strongly against the use of random players. For best results, you should take down notes on which games had snow or navigable ocean, and what factions were used. Why not use a virtual dice thrower to select the factions for you instead?
