Description:

Welcome to Rise of Empires. Found your empire and expand your borders, discover new technologies, explore new lands and much more.

Details:

Rise of Empires includes a mix of both vanilla-friendly and game-changing mods. The goal of this pack is to allow players to experience the game how they wish. Whether it be simply creating incredible structures, fighting insidious monsters or collecting loot and knocking out achievements, there is something here for everyone.

This pack is currently a WORK IN PROGRESS, and runs in Minecraft-v1.12.2. Over time, my aim is to improve the balance and functionality of the modpack; however, this is primarily a passion project and something I am working on in my spare time.

Features:

Create and forge unique world you want to play in — Users can utilize world generation settings from either Vanilla or Biomes O' Plenty to create a truly unique experience.

• Team up with friends or venture the world solo as you claim land and complete pre-made mod-specific quests (currently being added)!

• Create your own factions, companions, quests and more using Custom NPCs.

• Over 70+ unique biomes to discover in the Overworld!

• Battle new mobs that grow more difficult as you level up. (work in progress)

• Take treasure hunting to a whole new level as you explore both Doomlike and Roguelike Dungeons.

• Master the various forms of dark magical arts and get weird with some wizards.

• Grow massive mystical farms and use your crops to create hundreds of new food recipes, potentially even gaining you new hearts!

In addition to the overworld, explore multiple new dimensions with more being added over time:

• Aroma1977's mining dimension — A simple mining dimension, filled with all the ores you could ask for! (Configs may need tweaking to allow for other mod-specific ore to generate)

• The Between Lands — Ever wanted to visit the deep-southern gulf swamplands of Louisiana or Florida? Then look no further than The Between Lands! Only the most sane of adventurers will be able to withstand the Lovecraftian-style horrors that inhabit this place. But even those who live to tell the tale will surely never be the same.

• The Nether — Do not be fooled, this demented hell-scape is not the same as you remember. Though treasure abounds for the willing, hellish creatures await adventurers who dare delve into their lair.

• The Twilight Forest — This ancient forest may seem like a thing of beauty on the outside, but venturing into the dark woods may prove to be more than what adventurers bargained for. Hidden treasures, abandoned cabins, ancient labyrinths, forgotten castles and many more locations are just waiting to be discovered in The Twilight Forest.

And much, much more...

Running the pack:

With this being an extra-large modpack, players will need a minimum of 4GB of RAM (up to 8GB) in order to launch the pack smoothly.

Note: Java gets weird if too much RAM is allocated, so it is recommended to set no more than 8GB of RAM for the pack otherwise Forge will stop responding during the load process.

FPS issues in Minecraft are usually caused by bottlenecked processors and low-end graphics cards, but the following mods may help.

• BetterFPS — included in the pack but will require user tweaking for the best performance results.

• Optifine — not included or tested with the pack, may cause conflicts with other mods.
