Due to size constraints regarding the download, by default Thomas' War includes static leader heads and wonder movies. Animated leader heads and wonder movies are available to download and are installed similar to a patch by either unzipping them into the Thomas' War directory or copying the Assets directory over.
Note, if you were experiencing significant MAFS with previous versions it is not recommended you switch to animated leader heads or wonder movies as the game runs better and is smaller in size with their static versions.
However, the animated and static versions do not break saves so it is possible to begin the game with animated versions and install and switch over to static later in the game.
To install simply extract into your Thomas' War folder.
The default install path should be something like:
Program Files/Firaxis Games/Sid Meier's Civilization 4/Beyond the Sword/Mods/Thomas' War
Alternatively, copy and overwrite (don't delete) the Assets folder. This replaces the files found in Assets/Art/Movies/Wonders).
