Installation Instructions:

First, in your Conquests/Scenarios folder, create a new folder called Far Horizons.



Part 1 : Folder Art and Text


Unzip Part 1 into the Far Horizons directory. This will create text and art folders like you need. The one exception is with the .biq files--move those two .biq files into the main Conquests/Scenarios directory.


Part 2 : Folder Far Horizons PART TWO with Art.


Unzip Part 2 to a temp location, like on your desktop. Then pull the Art folder out of the Far Horizons Part 2 directory that is created by WinRAR and move it to the Far Horizons directory you created.


Part 3 : Folder Far Horizons PART THREE with Advisors, Cities, Leaderheads,Tech chooser , Terrain and Wonder Splash .


Again, unzip this file to a temp location. Again, pull the directories (Leaderheads, cities, etc.) OUT of the Part Three folder and move them to your Conquests/Scenarios/Far Horizons/Art folder.


Part 4 : Folder Far Horizons PART FOUR with Art

AND

Part 5 : Folder Far Horizons PART FIVE with Art

Do the same as Part TWO. Extract these folders to a temp location, then pull the Art folder out of each one and copy it to the Conquests/Scenarios/Far Horizons directory.

Also, Bobisback recently alerted me that there is a problem with the Longbow Apache unit. To fix this problem, go to the Longbow Apache unit folder(In the Art/Units directory inside the Far Horizons Foldier) and rename LongbowApache.ini to Longbow Apache.ini. This should take care of the problem.

Enjoy!

Can't wait to try your mod. About time a DyP type mod was released. That wasn't just a little bit more. I like lot's more and this mod will have it.

Looks cool. Too bad i have dial-up

 

[Duddha]

Just downloading it and will probably go to bed much to late tonight as a consequence.

 

[Duddha]

Maybe I made a mistake in installation, but I think the leaderhead flic for Isreal is missing.

 

[NateDawgNY]

I didn't see it either, so I just used the David leaderhead.
btw SOG, looks good!
I'll play it till R&R comes out.

 

[Lachlan]

When i clicked on civ selection phase on israel the game announced thah will exit because he lacked a file .flc ....

Non finished mod = mod crap !

 

[ibcoltscrew]

I just download your mod but there is no folder with the name Far Horizons in the download. I'm a little confused with the installation... ..

Part 1 : Folder Art and Text

Part 2 : Folder Far Horizons PART TWO with Art.

Part 3 : Folder Far Horizons PART THREE with Advisors, Cities, Leaderheads,Tech chooser , Terrain and Wonder Splash .

Part 4 : Folder Far Horizons PART FOUR with Art

Part 5 : Folder Far Horizons PART FIVE with Art

Now i want to know EXACTLY what i must do with these folder. Hard to figure out how it's work when i have lot of different folder like that.

Hiho,
i want to play your mod but it doesn´t work. I guess its my mistake but maybe you can help me:
After installing the mod to Civ/conquest/scenarios/FarHorizon
and starting the game i get the message that a pedialcontext ist not ok. Anything with the Hagia Sophia.

It happens all the time after starting the mod in the mainmenu.
Maybe u can tell me what i did wrong.

EDITED: The mod is working, the error was my mistake. I play the Mod few minutes (course, with the Brazilian Civilization ), good work Sword I had to go back to Native Americans civ developing.
I check the icon of Conquest of Mars, maybe u had a old version of this wonder, the icons of these old version are in 24bits color (not 8bits, how it suppose to be). The new version is in 8bits, so, the icons appear instead the black square If you lauched in the future a patch, do not forget to fix it (replace the old icons by the new ones). Check my signature to find the new version of Conquest of Mars, I uploaded it one mounth ago, I guess.
I will do some screen shoots to place here, again, it is really a ameasing work Sword!!! I'm glad to have did some of the arts of this ameasing Mod!

Hey everyone... longtime reader (never registered )finally found something I know to post about ;-)

I downloaded the files yesterday, and got them to work on the first try. But like you I had no idea what to do with the directory structure, so I basically emulated the structure of my other favorite Mod, Rhye's of Civilization. I think the big confusion comes with the fact that there is a "Far Horizons Part X" folder in most of the files.

So here is what I figured out, see if this works for you.

First, in your Conquests/Scenarios folder, create a new folder called Far Horizons.

Part 1 : Folder Art and Text

Unzip Part 1 into the Far Horizons directory. This will create text and art folders like you need. The one exception is with the .biq files--move those two .biq files into the main Conquests/Scenarios directory.

Part 2 : Folder Far Horizons PART TWO with Art.

Unzip Part 2 to a temp location, like on your desktop. Then pull the Art folder out of the Far Horizons Part 2 directory that is created by WinRAR and move it to the Far Horizons directory you created.

Part 3 : Folder Far Horizons PART THREE with Advisors, Cities, Leaderheads,Tech chooser , Terrain and Wonder Splash .

Again, unzip this file to a temp location. Again, pull the directories (Leaderheads, cities, etc.) OUT of the Part Three folder and move them to your Conquests/Scenarios/Far Horizons/Art folder.

Part 4 : Folder Far Horizons PART FOUR with Art

AND

Part 5 : Folder Far Horizons PART FIVE with Art

Do the same as Part TWO. Extract these folders to a temp location, then pull the Art folder out of each one and copy it to the Conquests/Scenarios/Far Horizons directory.

Now this is what worked for me, so far I love the Mod. See if this helps.

Another thing I just noticed. There's two versions of the scenario. The one WITH Finland works fine with the Israel leaderhead. The one that DOES NOT have Finland has the file mislinked or something. I dont' know enough about this stuff to fix the broken one, but it seems like an easy fix for those that know a bit about the editor.

I will wait that 5 parts are reunited in 1
