Russians Improvement Pack
Russians Improvement Pack for Rise of Nations
Hello, Kaiser_Mobius here with a second simple nation improvement pack mod for Rise of Nations, this time for the Russians.
For this improvement pack I have added a host of new altered textures and a couple of new units for the Russians in order to give them some more unique flavour. First, in the modern age, I have altered the textures for the Katyusha rocket launcher and the T-34-85 tanks with new colours, and some new decals. The T-34-85 texture applies to all countries that use the tank as their tank in the modern age.
In the Information age, I have added the Nuclear Missile Sub from the Cold War campaign as a unique submarine unit for the Russians, and renamed it the Typhoon Attack Sub. The default Shock Infantry are also modified, and have been replaced with VDV Infantry using the American Assault Marine’s model with AK-47’s, an altered texture, and a new unit icon which is just a photo I found on the internet. T-80 tanks also now have their own unique texture to differentiate them from the T-80 tanks that other nations get in the information age. I might change this texture if people do not like it, as I am on the fence with how its camouflage pattern turned out in game. The Hind attack helicopters that Russia gets have have a slightly altered texture.
I have also added a new texture for the Advanced Battleship, to give it a colour that is more similar to the Slava class cruiser that the unit model is based off of. I think I have its colours down right, although I might later rework the colour of its deck as it may be a bit too orange. I have also modified the texture for the MiG-29 fighter jet, and given the Russians a unique carrier fighter bomber painted to look like a Russian navy MiG-29K.
Finally, I have added Joseph Stalin, Nikita Khruschev, Mikhail Gorbachev, and Vladimir Putin to the Russian leaders list.
To enable this mod, all you have to do is play a skirmish game with the Russians Improvement Pack enabled in the mods drop down menu. To download, all you have to do is click the subscribe button.
If you have any suggestions, criticisms, problems, or find any bugs with the mod, feel free to leave a message. The only bug I have been able to find so far is that the aircraft carrier doesn’t use the MiG-29K that I added if you play a game where you tech up from the modern to the information age, but if you play starting in the information age it should work.
Have fun!
