After lots of polishing work, mainly by Ambrox and Graywarden, we’ve released what we consider to be the final version of The Ancient Mediterranean for Civilization IV (Vanilla). We’re now moving on to a Beyond the Sword version.

  • XML improvements and fixes on civics, wonders, buildings, techtree and units
  • Assyria as 24th playable civ
  • New scenario map - TAM Eastern Med - 15 Civs - Standard map

We’ve also included an updated Mac version.

The Press on TAM

Published by Jan van der Crabben on December 3, 2007 in TAM. 0 Comments

Here’s a quick rundown on what I could find out what other people are saying about TAM. Firstly, TAM was awarded “3rd best RTS mod” by Gameflood. Why it’s classified as RTS we will never know… It seems they didn’t have a turn-based strategy section. Soren Johnson, the lead designer of Civilization IV, mentions us in the book that shipped with Civilization Chronicles. Shawn Grahams, an academic who used Civilization for teaching, mentions us when discussing CIV in teaching in his blog. For the Mac, we have two mentions: Inside Mac Games recommends us in its iMod article, and Apple suggests downloading TAM for Civilization IV. Additionally, a French stragey gaming magazine has featured TAM (for Civilization III). Not bad, eh?

TAM is on a new Server

Published by Jan van der Crabben on November 28, 2007 in TAM. 0 Comments

I’ve moved TAM to a new server. My personal website was running out of space, and I’ve started a new project which requires loads of webspace… and TAM will be an insignificant blip on the server. So… happy TAMing from the new server!
