Game won't start

[docwontstart]

Greeting Civ fellas.
I used to play the older versions of Dawn of civilization without issues .
I am not able to start the current version
I install the mod as instructed.I load the mod without issues.
If i start the scenario it throws me out to windows without an error, while initializing.
If I load the worldbuilder save, I get a you have been defeated message right after I pick a civ.
Does anybody have any ideas?
Thanks
