Patches an mods and, and
So, I got fed up playing the same thing,
I have only the normal civ IV
and then I found the Thomas_War extension, great I thought,
I even found a forum for it , but , it did not work for me
it turned out it needed something called BTS, and
so, I know now that BTS means Beyond the Sword, but, nothing said about that at the download side, so,
after a lot of investigating, I used the FAQ here, and that I must say is quite useful,
even if I was able to download TotalRealism for Warlords
(of course it did not work) and that I must say was my mistake, it really said it was for warlords,
anyway ..
I then downloaded Totalrealism for vanilla (thank you the one telling that vanilla is the normal thing,
how shall anybody know that without people saying,)
(and why call it vanilla?? why not say normal civ IV, why make it dfficult for folks ??)
so, I downloaded both things, there is a patch- file (2.3.1 or something) and the normal setupfile,
and it says it needs the 1.61 patch yes, but I have the newest steam civ, and version is 1.74, so ..
but it did not work, so I dowloaded patch 1.74, because that must be better that 1.61, and I am trying to
place it at different locations, but all it says is that I do not have civ IV wherever I place it
so ..
it is difficult, nobody is telling where to place the things, .. and
I really liked the FAQsection,but why can it not be a good description of everything with the download ,
before there used to be a txt-file to go with the files for troubleshooting
and why all these abbreviations, I still have no idea what this concept HOF is which is written so much about and,
as I was telling before, BTS was a mystery a long time ..
Yours sincerely
