Welcome to Rise of the Moderns Wiki!

What is Rise of the Moderns?

Rise of the Moderns is a series of RTS mods and games, intended to replicate the rise of the Early Modern Period until the Interbellum, which use a common tech tree called the "Rise of the Moderns" tech system.

As its name suggests, this project features a mod for the award-winning game Rise of Nations and is in effect a total conversion to depict the main forces that shaped our world. Beginning in the 17th century and ending with the rise of Communism and Fascism in Europe, it is an extensive and sweeping project intended

Currently we have the following projects envisioned:

Our BHG-based Mods

Rise of the Moderns

Rise of the Moderns is being developed in several "chapters", each one a stand-alone mod by itself.

As many as 4 chapters are envisioned for this project.

Over time, we hope to develop standalone projects based on these chapters.

New World Empires: The Southeastern Dragon

287450 2937399020

New World Empires is a series of mods which move away from the epic base-building mechanics of most other mods, favouring instead rushing and deathmatch play, whilst retaining some reflection of actual history. The Southeastern Dragon is based on the early modern Old World, and attempts to explain the decline of oriental civilizations and the rise of Western imperialism, aided by a revolutionary military technology: gunpowder. This is a mod loosely based on the Peshawar Lancers series of novels and short stories by Canadian alt-history author S M Stirling, and depicts a world in which human progress and development have been all but retarded by a cataclysmic event, keeping humanity locked into early industrialisation well until the mid-21st century CE. It does not use the same tech tree system as Rise of the Moderns, but nevetheless uses the same sort of mainstream units that are present in Rise of the Moderns proper.
