First of all, I'd like to say hi to everyone here from a newbie. :)

I have downloaded several Scenario's from this thread(e.g, Age of Conquest) and I place them into my Warlords MODS folder. Then I upload the Mod by going into Advanced on the main menu in the game, but when I click on Warlords Scenario's or Play a Scenario, the Scenario is not there :confused:
I've tried everything but it simply does not come up, no matter which Scenario I download :confused:
Does anyone have any idea how I can solve this problem?
Many thanks,
Dino

Welcome to the CFC. I don't play scenarios often, but you need to make sure the downloaded scenarios are for Warlords or if they are Vanilla only. Hopefully someone else can help you now that I put the thread into the main C&C.

Try going into the advanced menu and selecting to Load a Mod. You will probably see it listed there.

I have, and its listed there and it re-starts the game and everything, but when the game loads back up it turns out nothing loaded up and its not even in the scenario menu :confused:

I recently had a very silly problem, perhaps sharing this with you might help. I downloaded a scenario and couldn't figure out why it didn't work until I checked the directory tree. The tree should be c:/xx/firaxis/sid' meier's .../warlords/mods/THE MOD YOU WANT. The problem I had was mods/xxmod/xxmod before the files can be found. So Civ4 would try to load what it finds in the directory immediately after warlords/mods and if it dones't find anything, it loads default.

This is the classic extra directory problem that practically every newbie experiences, When you extract the zip it usually get extracted as

/NameOfMod/NameOfMod/Assets/Other folders

If you put that in the Mod folder it will seem to load, you will get the name of the mod in the corner of the menu screen and yet nothing will be different. This is because the game was looking for the Assets folder one directory level too high and found nothing. Just discard the extra directory layer after extracting a mod so its like this.

/Mods/NameOfMod/Assets/Other folders

Yup! That's me! Figured that out and thought I'd share. I've come to realise that with all the mods I've been trying, that Civ4 simply looks in the mod file, and loads from default whatever files it doesn't find. Cool.

I'm glad you figured it out. Enjoy.
