Check out the "Creation and Customization" forum. There are hundreds of Mods and Scenarios (with installation instructions).

Scenarios are fun too .

I am almost embarrassed to ask, but how does one find this sub-forum? Please don't supply a link because that won't teach me to navigate this place, which I have always found baffling.

The simplest way is probably to go up to the bar at the top of the CFC screen, mouse-over the 'General' pull-down menu, and then click on 'Forums' -- this will give you a list of all the subforums for all the Civ games.

Then scroll down(, down, down) to the CivIII section and click on the 'Creation & Customisation' link, which is where all the hardcore CivIII-modders hang out and upload their stuff.

Sorry no screenshots -- not sure how to do that on a Mac (and shouldn't really be here during working hours anyway...)

Thanks tjs282! You just opened a whole new world for me

(for Mac screenshots, place the cursor at the top left corner of the frame you want to capture and hold down these keys: shift, command, 4, then drag the cursor rightwards and downwards and let go. Capturing the entire screen is probably shift, command 3 but I never use it so I ain't sure.)

They all go in the Scenarios folder. So if C3C, Civ3/Conquests/Scenarios. The .BIQ, and the mod folder if there is one.

They will then show up in Civ-Content

You didn't understand what im saying..
i know where i can find the mods but i want to know witch mod you can recommend to me? and there is a lot of things to download and i know each thing you need to install it in other places..

 

[Lanzelot]

Well, that depends mainly on your taste, doesn't it? Some like those werewolf/zombie mods, some don't...
But I guess you can't go wrong, if you try "Age of Imperialism"... It's a legend...!

 

[Takhisis]

Scenarios? Age of Imperialism, Hegemon, RFRE, Twilight of Byzantium, The Rood and the Dragon, Rise and Fall fo the Mughals, The Ancient Maya, just to name a few you could play.

Best mod imo is CCM. Wish he would finish the new version soon.

You said there is not installation instructions. Which is why I said what I said.

My teste is not zombies and etc... i prefer most realistic mods of our age and older ages..
i want that you will reccomend me the best terrain mod, total conversion and units..
(and i want to know how to install units from sub-forum).

 

[Nathiri]

I would recommend Anno Domini (ancient-medieval) as a good scenario to play. Even Anno Domini II Demo is fun to play, but there are some errors that appear later in gameplay that you would have to fix.

For Terrain Mod, probably Ares de Borg's terrain.

And about Anno Domini - can you give me the newer version of this mod? i couldnt find..

 

[Takhisis]

Hmmm, Israel itself, I don't think, but the area is featured in some places.
There is Beta Israel, the African jews around Ethiopia, in Plotinus' African Scenario.

Also, a mod I forgot to mention: somewhere there is a Hell terrain which I have installed here. Playing on darkened terrain and having all water turn to lava is quite cool. If you have the time you can have maps with both Hell and regular terrain.
I myself use Sn00py's terrain, currently.

Oh, I should of said Anno Domini Classic version, as the first version of Anno Domini, its download link and original files was lost.

The expansion to the Classic version is also good.

Rhye's of Civilization is a lot more realistic than the original game, and it has an israeli civ. They are religious and scientific, with judaism as both early and later religion (other civs have two different), and maccabees and merkavas as unique units.
