Downloading, Installing a Playing a New Civ

[kodakumisuperfa]

Is it possilbe (and if it is, how so) to download multiple civs, or even one, and then install them into the regular BtS game? I mean without putting it in a mod folder.

No. Modular civs need to be put into mod folders. Non-modular civs are usually blended into the Firaxis XML, but still put in a mod folder.

If you add several of these civs, you will need to add them into all the various XML yourself.

I would not suggest doing this in the deafult XML files.

If you want a mod to show up everytime you start the game, you can add a line in the Civ.ini file to do this (see the first page of this thread).

so i have tried all those mod tips (i am trying to use Esnaz's Mod for BtS) and i still dont get any of the new civs in the mod. I have only been trying to access them with the Play Now and Custom Game options; do i need to make a scenario?

First off I like to thank you for the mod, about time that us Canadians get on the map.
The only issue I am having is that once I have loaded in the "Canada Mod", the Canadian Leaders do not show up on the list of people to select. What have I done wrong?

Thanks! Can you post this in the Canada Mod thread with some details on your setup? It's best answered there, thanks!

how do you do that

It's a bit hard to explain if you're not familiar with XML files. It also depends on what mods you want to combine, and whether they are modular.

As long as you both have the mod installed, you can do multiplayer games.

You should probably post this in the 'Nazi Germany' civ thread, where the mod author will see it.

I want to add a custom civ to an existing mod, can I do this? And how can I tell if they will be compatible?

What existing mod? A mod like CIV Gold uses a modular format, so your approach would be different than, say, Amra's Modpack, that uses universal files.

The best way to learn is to look at the setup for an existing civ, then copy it.

Hi - I've loaded the Ukrainian and Czech mods on vanilla Civ IV (version 1.6.1) and I'm told that I've been defeated after 10 turns. Any ideas on why? I've turned off the time victory....

can you tell me please why does the australian civ not work with the 3.13 patch installed.

There are a few different Australian civs, so it depends which one you are using.

There are Australian civs in Amra's Modpack and CIV Gold that *do* work with 3.13, but the standalone ones may have not been updated to work with the patch.
