Im havig trouble with orgainizing which parts go where in my civ folder could someone please tell me in detail where everything goes?I've downloaded version 1.97 for windows xp

From the Stickied thread above:

Installation Instructions
Delete "The Ancient Mediterranean" folder in your CIV4\Mods folder if you have installed TAM before! This ensures that your XMLs are up to date if we split old files into several new ones. Then double-click the installer and extract it into your main CIV4 folder. This will not overwrite any original CIV files.

The map is in the PublicMaps folder. Best way to launch the mod is to simply double-click the map file!

It should do everything on it's own.

Good luck and welcome to the CFC. :D

thanks but game has error in finding marathon speed....guess ill have to just wait and get warlords( in a few hours;))and theres something else about two files dont remember exactly.

Make sure you have installed the latest CIV4 update from Firaxis.

Also, TAM does not work with Warlords.

You probably miss the latest patch. Marathon speed came with one of the patches.
