From what I've seen so far from those end of era crisis events, you're just drawing some cards with some negative effects, and I do have to admit, that it looked a bit... boring to me. Since they seem to try to make the eras more immersive and they also seem to have leaders from different eras...

While I could probably live with having the same leader myself, I'm a bit worried what that means for for the leaders of AI factions. If only a fraction of the nations have their own leaders, it would also mean that the other nations would use replacement leaders. So can we expect stuff like...

For me it'll depend a lot on how they actually implement that feature. I think splitting the game in three ages, that can even be played separately is a great design decision. All three ages are very distinct and should have enough time to really dive into them. So if the goal is to give each...

That's probably it. I somehow seem to have run into every special case that makes problems. lol Odd, I would have thought that the sound files would be one of the easier things to handle in Civ 4 modding. :dunno: Still, I think a little less off-putting sound would have been better in that...

Is it possible that the cobra/snake beast has the attack sound of an... elephant?! Was attacked by it in the desert and and the attack sound was pretty weird. Nothing big, just wanted to mention it.

@lfgr, I've just seen that you updated the "Download archive" option with the Steam instructions. However, the installer works perfectly fine if the old unsupported BTS branch is used. I only had problems with the installer when using the normal BTS branch.

Yes, exactly! Just for Civilization IV: Beyond the Sword instead of Warlords like in the linked page. Then adding "mod=\ExtraModMod" to the Launch Options in the "General" tab and it should work correctly. It might also be worth mentioning that Civilization IV: Beyond the Sword has to be...

Okay, I guess I figured the problem out. Seems like if I use the old unsupported Civ branch, all the shortcuts starting Civ4BeyondSword.exe directly don't work anymore. Even double-clicking Civ4BeyondSword.exe to start Civ4 will trigger this error. Instead the mods have to be set up via the...

Using the old BTS version branch seems to have fixed the installation problems, but both FFH2 vanilla and EMM refuse to start with a critical error: If I go back to the original BTS branch, I'm at least able to start them, but I get dozens of XML errors and the game is pretty much broken, since...

Well, that could explain why an older EMM version I tried just caused weird errors when I tried to start the game. It's a pity there isn't a Steam workshop option for Civ 4 to get all the required mods installed easier. Thanks for the hint. :)

Hi, I tried to give this a try after a pretty long time, but don't seem to get it to work with Civ4 on Steam. I just get this error: My steamapps dir is in C:\Games and not in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam, which is probably the problem. Any other way to get it to run?

Found another little bug:

Sorry for the late reply. I'm actually not really sure. We didn't use any special settings, so if they are on by default we played with them, if not then not. Edit: I checked the options: Puppet states were not activated

Had a fairly entertaining MP game with a friend today. I played Calabim, he played Hippus and the rest were Makakhim, Balseraph, Clan, Sheaim and the last was a Svartalfar I never saw I think. Usual settings - small map, quick tech and lakes, but we increased difficulty to monarch this time...

How nice that the mod is still developed. After a year of Civ abstinence the release of Civ6 motivated me to... try Civ5 for the first time, which made me aware that its tech tree is shockingly simplistic and the atmosphere a lot more goofy than the dark and gritty FFH2, which motivated me to...
