This MOD recreates the classic Fantasy setting of Glorantha (www.glorantha.com). 13 races have been totally replaced by a Gloranthan equivalent. Most units have been totally altered. New graphics have been added. There are also some major changes in gameplay, explained in the attached PDF file. Some “goodies” similar to those included in the Unofficial Patch are also included (recruitment structures, racial priests, altered Air Galley, etc.).
A large map, playable Single Player or Multi Player with two or three human-controlled wizards, is included with the MOD. The map is a faithful conversion of the famous Dragon Pass, one of the first fantasy boardgames ever designed. More maps are in the making.
Due to the painful history of the Glorantha copyright, Issaries inc., the copyright owner, is very cautious about giving permission to publish fan works. Before downloading the MOD, read the following excerpt from the license agreement granted by Issaries. Downloading this package means automatic acceptance of the terms stated below.
“By downloading Age of Glorantha, owners of a legal copy of the Game accept a restriction to the license agreement between TS and purchasers of the Game, due to the need to guarantee ISSARIES’ copyright. Players that download Age of Glorantha must be informed of this restriction prior to the actual download. Players are restricted by the download in the following ways
a. Players may not distribute Age of Glorantha without including an unaltered copy of this license agreement. Players must request explicit acceptance of the terms included in this license agreement by all other parties to which they distribute Age of Glorantha.
b. Players may not extract or modify the text and pictures included in Age of Glorantha that are copyrighted by ISSARIES.
c. By making Age of Glorantha publicly available, all owners of a registered copy of the Game are permitted to create and play scenarios that include Gloranthan contents. Players are free to create and play random Age of Glorantha scenarios, and to create prebuilt scenarios for personal use. Players need an explicit permission from ISSARIES to make scenarios created with Age of Glorantha available to the public domain.
d. All scenarios that are created with Age of Glorantha and obtain permission for publication from Issaries must be distributed under the provision of this license agreement, and accompanied by an unaltered copy of this license agreement. Subsequent modification of such scenarios are subject to the restrictions of this license agreeement.
e. Using Age of Glorantha to create and run scenarios with illegal copies of the Game (i.e. pirated software) is explicitly prohibited
f. Failure to comply with these restrictions will result in immediate termination of the effects of the license agreement for the offending player.
g. All restrictions that violate the laws of the country where the player lives are not in effect”

When you play the maps that comes with the mod it is clear that there's a lot of work behind it all. I had never heard of Gloranthia before I tried this thing out, but that didn't stop me from having fun.
The streamlined install/uninstall procedure is excellent as well.
Well done![Edited on 07/23/05 @ 02:37 PM]

Unique gameplay, as it has all-new races and units, altered spheres and spells, special Glorantha atmosphere due to well made explanations on all units and to things mentioned above.
Additional Comments:
I have waited to see an action-based Glorantha computer-game version for long, and this mod succeeds in it well. Most of the important factions and races are represented (i think) and the design is pretty appropriate for what i can see. It leaves much strategic options and the races i've tested feel different enough from each other. New graphics are good except for the racial picture on Uz towns and the model of Night trolls :P (and maby that female Orlanthi hero, whatshername..).
P.S. I hope u continue to work on this mod Rosen, to get all the races as playable ones. If u need some assistance, send me an email at sri@luukku.com, i'd love to help in project like this.

@Griffith: thanks for the comments. The troll racial city pic was taken from the Japanese RQ site, so it is rather manga-style. And the picture of Gunda is in fact the worst in the entire package, but since she is, together with Harrek, one of the best graphically characterized characters in Dragon Pass, I used this picture that is astonishingly similar to "traditional" iconography, although rather unappealing. In fact you detected exactly the two pics that I am not totally satisfied with.
Big news coming with version 2.0 of the mod, including 11 or 13 playable races. Send me an email with your address and I'll tell you how you can help. |

I can't seem to tell whether a mod or a campaign is for AOW, AOW II or SM.
I'd appreciate help.
Thanks

In this section, you'll find only mods for AoW2/AoW:SM. Mods for AoW1 are in the AoW forum section.
However, since modding AoW2 is rather difficult, there is in fact only one mod for the old good AoW2, that is GreenMonster's mod. All other mods in this section, including this one, are for Shadow Magic. |
