Download problems

[IL DUCE]

HEY GUYS-
THIS IS A GREAT WEBSITE, I NEVER EVEN KNEW THAT DOWNLOADS FOR THIS GAME EXISTED. I HAVE CIV 2 MULTIPLAYER GOLD EDITION. I HAVE PLAYED THE HELL OUT OF ALL OF THE SCENARIOS THAT COME WITH IT, THE BEST OF THE NET 1 AND 2. I AM NOW TRYING TO GET SOME OF THE ONES OF THIS WEBSITE. I AM CAREFUL TO DOWNLOAD ONLY THE ONES THAT SAY FOR CIV 2, STILL I AM UNABLE TO GET THEM TO WORK. I GET SAVE THEM INTO THE CIV SCENARIO FILES AND THEN WHEN I OPEN THE GAME AND TRY TO BEGIN A NEW SCENARIO THEY ARE NOT THERE. BUT IF I TYPE THE FILE NAME DIRECTLY THE GAME ATTEMPTS TO ACCESS THE DOWNLOAD AND I AM PROMPTED WITH A MESSAGE OF THIS IS NOT A SAVED GAME. AND IT OBVIOUSLY DOES NOT GET LOADED. I AM NOT SURE WHAT I AM TO DO, I SUPPOSE I COULD BE DOING SOMETHING WRONG, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE THE DOWNLOADS ARE NOT IN THE RIGHT FORMAT. I AM RUNNING A GATEWAY COMPUTER WITH MICROSOFT WINDOWS. ANY HELP WOULD BE GREAT, I AM REALLY EXCITED TO PLAY SOME OF THESE NEW SCENARIOS LIKE THE AFRIKORPS ONE IN PARTICULAR. THANKS AGAIN

The files that you download from the site are zipped files (.zip). Once you download them, you need to unzip them first to get the actual files out where they are usable.

You need to download WinZip to unzip the files.

hopefully its that simple.

I highly recommend Red Front.

Do you have XP?..if so you'll need a copy of the dos choice command for batch files....one step at a time I guess

Thanks a lot man, i am such a stupid ass that i did not think of unzipping the files, it totally worked. thanks a lot, and i will also download the game you reccomended!

It really helped that you were very detailed in your question. That seemed like the main step that was missing.

Glad it worked. [dance]
