Advanced Civ mod - HIGHLY, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

[Vuyek]

Everything is tweaked, but not TOO much. Everything makes sense.

AI trades techs with you even if their research points in that tech are greater than yours - basically they play like a human. their build order is also changed.

barbarians stage d-day invasions from galleys, like proper "sea people" and later vikings did.

it is an awesome mod.

it is basically vanilla plus, not too many changes, just enough for game to play much better and everything makes sense.

instructs Steam users to "revert to Game Spy version", without further instruction.

The mod works perfectly with the Steam version. Installed 2 weeks ago, no problems at all.

just "Copy the unzipped AdvCiv folder into Beyond the Sword\Mods under Program Files"

Did all that, and it doesn't appear in the list of available mods.

Ah well, back to Rise of Mankind.

You installed it on C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Sid Meier's Civilization IV Beyond the Sword\Mods\ ?

There is 2 layers of Beyond the Sword folder, both with a Mods folder. Double check the mod is in the 2nd BtS/Mods folder.

C:/....../common/Sid Meier's Civilization IV Beyond the Sword/Beyond the Sword/Mods

If you needed to revert to the gamespy version of the game, you go to library collections and right click civ 4 and choose properties. Then you go into betas i think and choose the unsupported version.

If you play unsupported you will be unable to access steam multiplayer, however with a few other easy changes, you can play on the Zulan gamespy clone server instead of steam, which still has some players and you can play games with more than 4 people at once.

Yup, didn't drill down to the right mod folder. Think I did that with the last one I installed, too.
