When I select Internet game I get one option Gamespy, which of course no longer works. I have uninstalled and reinstalled - no help. anyone know how to get around this?

s.bernbaum, I downloaded Civ IV and BTS from Steam using the Properties tab to get to the "Original Release Unsupported" Beta version. The Steam area is in Program Files (86)\ Steam\Steam apps\Common\Sid Meiers CIV IV BTS\BTS. The Mods folder at Program Files (86)\ Steam\Steam apps\Common\Sid...

I found the BUG folder in the mygames area and copied to the MODS area in the steam/common/etc etc area. Doesn’t work.

Well crap. My Religion tab got corrupted so I deleted and reloaded Civ and BTS using the beta. I started (not from BTS.exe cause I could not find it) but from the BTS application buried in steam/steamapps/common/ BTS/BTS folder. No BUG Mod. Checked the Mods Folder- no BUG there. What have I...

Wait!!! I have it. I don't need to select the Bat Mod, it automatically opens. Thank you so much!!

Sadly I cannot see the Bat Mod when I open Civ BTS. I am sure I missed some steps. 1. "Right click on BTS in Steam and go to Properties --> Click Betas tab -> in drop down on that screen select "Original Release...blah blah". Steam will download files and reinstall." I selected the Original...

Thanks again.

Sorry to be a pain but I only see the Original Civ IV on Steam. Do see a Beta verision. Is there a trick to accessing it?

Mr Bernbaum, Thank you so much. I will uninstall what I have and get the beta version tonite. Civ IV BTS BAT is pretty much the only game I play so this is really good news. Phillip

I posted this earlier and had no luck getting it installed. Background: I have a new laptop with Windows 11 I can play BTS without it but BAT adds so much to the game. Downloaded CIV 4 and BTS from Steam Downloaded BAT from a site I now forgot but it was a site recommended. The first BAT was...

I only saw one version of CIV 4. How can I tell if it is the experimental version?

I installed Bug Mod on my windows 11 laptop. I run it through Steam. I can select other Mods but not Bug Mod.

Thanks for the comments. I know one can win without oil given good circumstances. I have done it several times. And if oil can be grabbed in the short term no worries. But if nation strength is somewhat equal, infantry vs tanks/mechs/aircraft is a losing gambit.

Have one Vassal, am in second place and then get Scientific Method. Yep thats right no “$+%#€£ oil. Vassal has none. None close and in realistic acquisition range. no one with two yet and the ones that do have it are bastards. I mean sworn enemies. sigh. Edited your thread title to help others...

Thanks for the response. The two issues noted have wandered off. I have issues getting BTS to load properly sometimes now. I’m using a laptop with a hdmi attached external monitor. It appears BTS gets confused on resolution. This affects the laptop sometimes even with the hdmi cable unplugged.
