If it can't uncompress the game data, it's likely that you're not using the correct version. What version of Civ/BTS/RFC are you playing? Also - MacOS or Windows?

I like razing Fort Albany because it presses too much against New York & Boston. NY & Boston are already too close together, and Fort Albany makes it tougher. Generally even with razing Fort Albany, the copper is still within my cultural borders, so I'm still getting the production boost from...

Those are the cities I tend to build. In my current game (and past games, I have played numerous games based on the same start) I found Washington in place, and Jacksonville (French), New York (British) and Boston (British) flip to me on the third turn. I then conquer New Orleans from the...

Turns out the calendar isn't wrong. I ran into the calendar "problem" and started playing around with the python files, but it turns out that you just need to update to 3.19 before installing the patch, and you're good to go. Jmerry's patch works smoothly, but I've run into a few python...

Yeah, the problem isn't so much where to find the oil, it's getting combustion (and plastics) early enough. I'm finding that the Americans have to expand very rapidly, and are therefore bogged down with very high maintenance costs. I'm having trouble getting my economy strong enough to get the...

I just realized that I uninstalled, then re-installed BTS, and forgot to patch it to 3.19 before using his patch. Everything works wonderfully now. Now if only I could figure out how to get all those damn oil resources...

Best... Creative... Solution... Ever... Step 1. Destroy Apostolic Palace Step 2. ? Step 3. Profit!!!

Ok - I started playing around with the python scripts. From what i've gathered, I'm not getting an exception error message because there is no exception! Turns out, the python scripts that come standard with BTS for the mac leave out a lot of mod's functionality. This particilar...

I just edited the CivilizationIV.ini file, started up RFC and founded Washington. No error message popped up.

Okay - I've reinstalled BTS, and both the calendar and city-flips are working - but now I'm running into another slight problem. When I had jmerry's patch, my new cities started out with 3 pop & a number of pre-built buildings. Now i'm founding Washington (and detroit etc.) and i'm only...

Gotcha - I think I installed jmerry's fix. That must be the reason my calendar is off. I'll re-install BTS and see what's up. Thank you for your replies.

Hi everyone! This is my first post to the forum, so I might as well introduce myself. My name is Drach, and I'm somewhat new to BTS & RFC, but I absolutely LOVE the mod. Thanks, Rhye, for putting in all those man-hours to entertain and enlighten the masses. Anyway, I've run into a couple...
