I have giant red, green and yellow faces floating above my units indicating how many moves they have left (I think). This is really annoying and wasn't present in the game before I patched it. Have I done something wrong or is there an option to turn this off? It really breaks immersion.

Also only one unit is showing up per tile even though I don't have that option enabled.

That means you installed it wrong OR your computer needs to be updated. (If it's the 2nd one, BTS should look weird too.) Try reinstallin it first.

Isn't it.

- Install CIV IV
- Install BTS
- Install BTS Patch 3.17
- Install FFH 0.32 base
- Install 0.32 media files
- Install FFH 0.32 Patch I

That's what I did?

Huh, weird. Ask Kael. He might know.

Hmmm, anyone think this forum needs a thinking Smilie?
Sorry, I have no Idea what it is. I don't know how faulty dowloading could cause that. :xmastree:

Faces, or just dots? Having dots is normal, but they are usually small.

Are the units and resources also oversized?

I'm guessing that you have Adventure mode (one of the game options only meant for future scenarios) turned on. It makes all unit use single unit graphics, and increased the size of the graphics (including those dots) as well.

As of the BtS 3.17 patch a lot of people have had the adventure mode turned on. I think this is because BtS now saves the game options. I think that the extra game options confuse BtS, and they may be saving options from the main game or another mod. Or, maybe KAel just accidentally turned it on, I don't remember.

Anyway, there are two ways to fix this. One involves editing the .ini, but I forget exactly what you would change because I prefer the other option. That is to edit prefer instead editing the GAMEOPTON_ADVENTURE_MODE entry in C:\Program Files\Firaxis Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 4\Beyond the Sword\Mods\Fall from Heaven 2 032\Assets\XML\Gameinfo\CIV4GameOptionInfos.xml:

<GameOptionInfo>
<Type>GAMEOPTION_ADVENTURE_MODE</Type>
<Description>TXT_KEY_GAME_OPTION_ADVENTURE_MODE</Description>
<Help>TXT_KEY_GAME_OPTION_ADVENTURE_MODE_HELP</Help>
<bDefault>0</bDefault>
<bVisible>0</bVisible>
</GameOptionInfo>

Make sure the bDefault is a 0, and if that doesn;t work (because it was saving settings) change bVisible to a 1. That means that the option will appear in a custom game, so you can turn it off. (I went ahead and made all the options visible just so I can see what they do.)

The green/yellow/red dot above your unit to indicate its movement status has always been in civ4 afaik.


If its really giant, you may have the adventurer mode problem on. Are all your units giant single ones?

If so, look for the Brigit thread, has how to turn it off.

You have adventure mode on. Open you CivilizationIV.ini and turn off all the game options by setting them all to 0 as follows:


; Game Options
GameOptions = 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 000000000000000000000000

Thank you Kael. Before your post I ran a complete reinstall and this also seemed to fix the problem.
