I have been working on a scenario that's similar to your 600 BC. Here are some details:
Name: Classical Antiquity
Timeframe: 600 BC - 300 AD
Map: Europe/Ancient Mediterranean (Tiny)
Civs: Rome, Celts, Carthage, Egypt, Greece, Babylon, Persia, India, Independents, Barbarian tribes
BTS events: semi-random historical events (AIwars)
This last one is what should set it apart from "yet another scenario".

(And I wouldn't worry about it being "yet another scenario", as most tend to be Modern Age - heavily overrepresented - with a preference for WW II.)Just updated 600 BC for CIV Gold BTS, which now includes 7 custom civs from CIV Gold mod. One odd issue: I tried including the Philip (II) LH as Macedonian leader, but this made Macedon disappear from the civ list screen. (The odd thing is: I tried it with another scenario, thinking he was Philip II of Spain, and that worked fine...)
Hi- I've been quit the lurker, but the issue I'm having made me finally join the boards.
I am having a problem with Civ Gold 4, (patched). I changed the modular entry in the CivIV Config file, and I have no problem loading the mod.
The problem enters into when I've tried to start a game. I choose my leader/civ, design my world in the Custom Game menu, and when I click the 'launch' button, it starts loading, generating my worldmap etc, and then the program crashes. I don't have a chance to 'wait it out', as Vista only gives me the options of closing the program or searching online for a solution AND closing the program.
Frankly, I'm very excited, and the mod seems wonderful- I just wish I could get it to work! Any ideas?
Thanks so much.

This was one of the symptoms of the video issues I was having early on. It may or may not be related for you, but check your video driver. If you happen to be using an nVidia card, see http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=269573
I'm towards the very end of a game with pre-patch Gold. As the Germans roll over their neighbors, they have conquered both a Luxemburg (from the HRE, I think), but also a Luxembourg (from, I think, a barbarian state). Not sure if this is Gold related or not (I know some of the barbarian lists had to be redone), or if it was addressed in the patch.

I was playing the Welsh the other day and noticed that the Caer seems to render significantly smaller than the castle renders. Was this addressed in the patch?
While you're at it, the in-city-screen graphic of the Cothon (Carthage) looks very odd. I know that is an original civ, but wasn't sure if some mod had been made to it. Referring to the image that appears in the lower left when you're building this item.
Also, was paging through the Civlopedia with my daughter as she picked her next leader, and we noticed that Pearson's entry is missing the Canadian flag and link.

I'm experiencing an odd error. My game is loading the fonts, interface, etc, for the mod but not any of the new mod civs. Can you give me any help troubleshooting this problem?
Having spent much of last week getting a stable version of 1862 AD for CIV Gold BTS up, I'd like to report that CIV Gold civ South Africa and Leaderheads Hidalgo, Peron and Hirohito could not be included, unfortunately, as they caused errors.
@Vandal Thorne: Do you have a CIV Gold folder inside the CIV Gold mod folder? (If so, rename the upper folder - to like "zCIV Gold" - and copy/move the folder inside to the BTS/Mods folder. You can then delete the redundant/empty "zCIV Gold" folder.)

Although we have included 2 more leaders for Canada (total of 5), we did not hook them up for Canada and cannot be chosen as a leader to play with. Because of the modular XML they are still being loaded though and therefore show up in the civilopedia.

Without more information on what the "errors" are or a scenario file to test, we can't help you.
I'm sorry, by errors I mean: any of the ones mentioned caused the civ I put it in to disappear from the civ list (best case) or CTD on startup of the scenario (worst case), which, with the present mod load time, got really annoying after several CTDs. As I mentioned on my scenario thread, it me took most of last week to even get a stable version of "1862 AD" ready. After several trials I simply gave up trying to include the LHs and South African civ... (I chucked the CTD files, so I don't have a copy of those.) I'm just glad to have been able to include 6 civs + 7 LHs from CIV Gold mod.
Anyway, I was only reporting the errors, cause I thought CIV Gold team should know about them. (I haven't discovered what exactly caused the errors, so I can't be more specific, sorry. If I do another update I'll save the faulty WBS files and post 'em - as I'm still not happy with the end result as is.)

One thing to note is that the leaders mentioned all have original modelling as part of their NIFs.
As for South Africa, I'll review to see if there is anything wrong with the files.
On a general note - I apologize for my absence lately. Big RFP we did at work just closed, I had a recent AGM for an association for which I volunteer, and I have a big community event I am helping to run due this week. Plus, our new nanny just moved in yesterday, I was in the US last weekend looking at property, and my wife was away on the long weekend two weeks ago leaving me with the boys.
*sigh*
Busy, busy month.
