I downloaded the files on filefront, but all three contained the same info.
To download the 600+ megs file on dl.free.fr seems an utopia (9 hrs !!!).
Still looking forward to the day I'll be able to play your mod :)

The 3 files work together, they don't contain the same files ;-).
 
I really wish I could get this to work because it seems absolutely increadible! The scope is immense, and I am excited to find something so historical and with so many options - absolutely amazing looking. Now, the problem. When I start playing I have no menu options presented, when I found a city there's no city screen and I can't select anything. The problem might be due to my running the driect2drive (version of civ and bts, but they're all up to date. I don't know - but I'm so excited to have the chance to play this mod. It really seems amazing.
 
Verify that you haven't any mod installed in My Documents/My Games/Beyond the Sword. You can re-install the game to verify that your original files aren't modified. It seems to be a conflict between your installed files and the mod's files ;-).
 
WHAHAHAHA !!!!
It works !
I'm with stupid, and he never leaves me.
 
i seem to be capped at 30 KB/s (my usual is 55-60)--DAM FILEFRONT! lol
o well a 7 hour wait isnt bad for such a awesome looking MOD!
I wish it had a world map though:)

Personally Ill be using it on a world map..even though it wont have all the new resources..because I love earth:)
 
do you mean i should have ANY mod, or just your mod in the mydocuments\civ4\mods.i have thomas' war 2.85 installed in the my documents. i have your mod installed and it works fine for a few turns but then ctd. why would having a diff. mod there cause this problem in your mod.is this right, i need to delete ALL files from mydocuments\civ4\mods for yours to work correctily??

Installation of mods in the 'mydocuments' folders is always a bad idea ;-). You must install all the mods in the \Firaxis Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 4\Beyond the Sword\Mods folder. If you install some mods in 'mydocuments\civ4\mods', you will encounter many incompatibility problems.

I want to know when mapscripts are compatible with this mod? Full of Resources will crashed when I select or use it.

Hum i'm sorry, but i don't know how mapscripts work. Can't Sto make an adapted version of Full of Resources ?

It's wonderful! Thank you for this wonderful mod. Are there any plans to make a world map for it?

No world map planned, sorry. I don't know anything about map creation. I will try, nevertheless, to ask some help on a french forum.
 
talk to JELEEN ABOUT maps for your mod
 
After installing the mod I get an innumerable amount of XML errors on startup.:( (I do have a Windows Vista 32 bit OS.)
 
just great, hope a new version soon, more stable one. No need to have a lot of civilization but having a choice between real greats leaders.
