Hello all,
I was hoping someone could please help me get ROM:AND to work. I have read the forums for the last few hours, and can’t seem to get further.
Here is what I have:
Windows 7, Civ 4 retail CD’s, Civ 4 BTS retail CD’s.
Here is what I have tried:
ATTEMPT #1: Disabled my UAC, then Installed Civ 4 retail CD’s, then installed Civ 4 BTS retail CD’s. I checked the game to make sure it works. It does. Then I downloaded the game via the direct link: DOWNLOAD HERE from

(I couldn’t understand the SVN method). After running the download, is said it installed fine. Then I right clicked and Ran as Administrator, and the BTS game loaded. Clicked on Advance, then Load a Mod, then clicked on Rise of Mankind: A New Dawn and the OK. Then the original game vanishes, and after about a minute, the screen flickers, and then nothing. I know something was happening, because I saw BTS running in my processes in the Task Manager. After that screen flicker, the BTS process disappears.
ATTEMPT #2: So I deleted the games using the control panel, and deleted a copy of the BTS file still in program files. With UAC still disabled, I installed both sets of CD disks again. Then I installed an installer program, found posted here

That seemed to go through a new install procedure. But after installing, I tried the new installer window that comes up, but nothing happens when I hit “Launch Civilization 4”. So I then just tried to launch the the normal way, and I can’t even get the normal BTS game to start now.
Please help 

P.S. I don’t like Civ 5 and 6 seems like it will be worse, so our Civ 4 ROM:AND is my only hope for the best Civ experience.
P.S.S.: Long time member, it says this was my first post. But it must have deleted my old post from 12 years ago, hahahahaha!
