I allready found it.This is the list I was looking at to find out what files you change.
But 4 Files are missing : CvDefines.h ,CvTeam.h and CvPlot.ccp & h
After merging those files too,everything seems to be ok now
Edit:Seems as if it is not compatible with BetterAI Mod
After building the new DLL I got an Errormessage that there is an unresolved external error in CvUnitAI and CvTeamAI

Bad news.
I've got a bug to report. With the Merged CAR and RevDCM, I have no barbarians spawning. Animals will spawn until they are phazed out, but no barbarians will spawn, even on raging barbarians, and a large map with only two civs. I checked it out, and when I removed the CAR changes from CvGame.cpp, the barbarians started spawning again. This leads me to believe that one of the cache's is probably not being invalidated. Anyways, I though you guys would like to know of this bug.

Something is wrong with your merge. Try merge CvUnitAI.h, CvUnitAI.cpp, CvTeamAI.h, CvTeamAI.cpp again.
It could be, though I doubt it since so many players have downloaded CAR and no one report it sooner. Also, HoTK has all CAR's content, yet in HoTK barbrians sprawl perfectly. If you've got some time, could you try a AI auto play with CAR? CAR has ai auto play built in, I forgot which hot key it is though.

Specifically, only animal barbarians spawn correctly with CAR. If you changed or removed animal spawning in HoTK, you might never notice my problem...
Anyways, We'll see...

I remerged CAR into CvGame and tested it, and it seems to work fine now. Sorry about that false report.

I've got a question.
Since the CAR mod speed up the game by creating cache's of frequently used functions in the DLL, is there a higher chance that users with lower RAM will get a MAF error?

I believe not.
The caches added by CAR is independent with unit numbers in game, so it will stay the same tiny size as in the beginning. Such very tiny cache size is negligible compared to the many units and cities in late game. As for memory usage, my computer has 1 Gig, I run HoTK without any problem, nor has any HoTK players experienced any MAFs. Please keep in mind HoTK uses way more memory than vanilla BTS and thus CAR.
Also, MAF seems to be related to save game size. Save game size will increase with the numbers of units and cities in game. Since CAR's cache will stay the same tiny size no matter how many units and cities the game currently has, CAR is irrelevant to save game size increase, so CAR will not increase MAF chance.
That's my personal opinion.

Okay, thanks. I'm just getting more and more reports of MAF errors, so I was worried that CAR was the cause. I'm glad it's not.

Quick question: If I paste the DLL into custom assets, will this work with BtS?

Not in customassets. You need to replace the dll which is in the Assets folder of BTS.
Just be careful to backup the previous dll before, and know that the saves provided will not be compatible with other installations not using this dll. Careful for SGs.

yeah, these kind of bugs are ugly. I looked at your code some time ago because a CTD with DoWs was reported every now and then in my mod, but missed this. Great to see this solved 
I can't give you feedback on how much the CAR mod speeds up my mod, but except this very minor issue there were no bugs related to CAR in month now.

It was not really me
, another user in the german forum reported it.He has a question: Will the fix break savegames?
(i guess not)

Yep, ugly indeed.
I'll release an update version very soon. The mistype is in CvTeam::declareWar()

No, it won't.
