Confused on what I should download.

[lightning551]

I downloaded an older version of this mod and then after playing around some I downloaded a newer version or update a few months back. Something like that.

I'm not sure what version or anything I have but i'd like to make sure I have the newest usable version and everything before starting a new game. I'm just confused as to what that would be and how to find it.

Sorry if i'm missing something obvious but i've been looking around on here and all the talk about versions and patches just kinda leaves me confuse.

For the absolute latest version, you'll want the SVN, but that can occasionally go unstable due to someone making a mistake.

For latest fairly stable version, you'll want Joseph's patched release from his V36 Crime patch thread. The current latest release is http://forums.civfanatics.com/threads/v36-crime-patch.559944/page-9#post-14451192 . Note the extra file he linked in the same post. Later updates will be posted in the same thread, and he usually edits the first post in the thread when he updates.

Thanks Joseph

So I haven't been playing much and cleaned some stuff off the computer leaving me with extra space so I just went ahead and downloaded the svn. I'm assuming I could play a game on the current version and then a few months down the line update it to the newest one again and not have any problems with saves?

Also on a side note I can no longer find the confederate states. Were they removed from the game or am I missing something?

An update that will break all saves is due to be pushed to the SVN any time now.
We usually never break saves in updates, but we felt it was time to do so now between v36 and v37, because it was simply time for a proper spring cleaning. Another reason for breaking saves was that we wanted to have more than one barbarian team, animals, neanderthals, aliens, regular barbarians and so on; this required changes that would definitely break saves.
After v37 is released we won't break save games for many versions to come.

There's a modmod that has pretty much any and all other civs you could be looking for. That was one that was removed from the core and put there. (At the demand made in the forum by a player giving feedback actually.)

Thanks. So after V37 is released I’ll be able to update regularly but until then I should wit until I’ve finished a game first? I know you guys don’t know exactly but any general idea how far off that release will be?

Also thanks thunderbrd. I checked the modmod section and found it. At some point here I’ll probably add it to my game.

I'm not sure when release will be. It always seems right around the corner but then the corner becomes an entrance to another labyrinth. We want a stable release where we aren't going to break saves again and that may be asking too much.
