Howdy folks, As you can see I posted this topic almost 3 years ago! Basically I'm after a plain (un-modded) GEM for BTS 3.19 with the correct starting positions and preferably more than 18 civs. I'm wondering whether any enterprising person has made the map as described for themselves?

I've trawled these forums looking for the following scenario/map but I don't think anyone has done it... Needs the following properties: *Plain (un-modded) GEM map *Needs to be Beyond The Sword compatible *Either resource positioning but preferably ancient *Fixed starting positions (I would...

Huyana Cupac doesn't appear to be getting 3 gold (2+1 for financial) from sea tiles. Have sea tiles been modded to have one less gold perhaps? Any ideas? Ta.

Kinda hard to explain this but I'll give it a go. If you're anything like me then you probably find that Earth maps tend to provide the best games... Despite this I'm bored to tears with them now as I've played them so much. What I'd love to see is an orignal map of a fictional world with...

edit: nevermind

Update: Read a few pages down on this forum and found this thread: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=294672 The bottom posters advice seems to be working (needed to delete the Install Shiedl folders). Thing is he suggests installing earlier versions of both Civ 4 (1.61) &...

Using Vista Sp1 Hey folks I've just decided to fire up Civ 4 and the 2 expansions again after some time but I've run into a crippling installation problem. My computer still thinks Warlords and BTS are installed possibly as the result of an corrupt uninstallation last time I played... Civ 4...

Historically the Catholic church is probably most backward institution in terms of cultural and scientific advancement the world has ever known (before the papacy lost all its power atleast).

The English language itself played a hugely important role in shaping the modern world. It is more flexible, more expressive, more descriptive and far more extensive than any other language. It's relatively easy to learn too despite its volume and complexity. In terms of the modern world...

That worked! Cheers man.

Hi, apologies if this is the wrong place to post this. I've been told there are static leaderhead animations availiable to download but I can't for the life of me find them in the downloads section. I'm using Ghengis' Huge Earth Map 4.1 on my mid-high end PC. The game runs at a very...

A version of this with say 18 civs would be nice. Tried editing some civs out on my own but it kept crashing with illegal operations. It's a fantastic map the pace is just a bit too slow even on my mid-high end pc (AMD X2 Black Ed. 6400+ at 3.4GHz, 4GB GeIL Ultra RAM & a 8800 GTS 640MB on XP SP2).

One thing I've noticed despite starting the game in Marathon is the tech times are quite a lot shorter than a vanilla custom game. Unless I'm imagining it? Masonry for example only takes 27 turns rather than the usual 33. I'm not working any gold producing squares more than usual either. Ta.

Ah ok, lol. Thanks :) Should be an option for a spy though don't you agree?

Of all the new game concepts added in BTS this is my least favourite. I'm sure many of you have gone through the same thing I'm about to describe and some of you probably think its as frustrating as I do. I'm playing on Monarch difficulty as the yanks and its very late game. I'm in second...
