General Instructions
- The mod use a custom DLL, it's not Mac compatible. The last version without DLL is R.E.D. WWII Edition (v 31) beta4.
- Finish your current game before updating, savegame compatibility is not assured.
- All other mods will be automatically deactivated to prevent potential incompatibilities. A few mods are marked as authorized (see end of post).
- Because of it's size, the mod is split in two parts. Both part are needed and can't be used separately
- The small part, R.E.D. WWII Edition is the core mod, it contains the code and defines for the new game rules, and is frequently updated.
- The bigger part, R.E.D. Data Files contains all the sound and graphic files used by the core mod, and is less often updated.
- The simpler way to download and install the files is using the Steam Workshop (see post #2), but a direct download version is also provided (see post #3).
- The mod copy a few files in the DLC folder of Civilization 5, to prevent crash when disabling the DLC and fix some visual effects. To uninstall, or if you downgrade to a previous version, delete the RED_WWII folder in "..Steam\steamapps\common\sid meier's civilization v\Assets\DLC"
- Optional add-on R.E.D. Xtreme for WWII Edition with smaller scale and more models per units. Must be installed after R.E.D. WWII Edition for the formation to be shown correctly.

General Troubleshooting
Before reporting a problem during installation, please try the following :
- Delete the content of your game cache folder (..\My Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 5\cache\)
- Make sure you don't have multiple version of R.E.D. WWII Edition and R.E.D. WWII DataFiles in your mod folder (..\My Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 5\MODS), multiple versions installed may cause bugs, even when only one is activated. Just keep the most recent version of both part.

Other mods incompatibilities
