I have the resource files installed to begin play gotm20, using the plain version(doesn't matter though).
Playing a regular game of Civ, I realize that resource pics are replaced with words(horse pic replaced with word conquest for example) on both game screen and trade screen.
So I look at the original and new resources.pcx file and see whats going on. In original file, horses are in top left corner, while the new file has the word conquest there with horses moved elsewhere.
Ok, basically, is this correct and there is something I've missed that I need to do?(this is my first GoTM, but I think I've done everything correctly) or do the pcx files need to be updated?(all the resource files are changed the same way)
 
In Civ3v1.29, you have to manually switch the resources.pcx files back to be your preferred original version of the resources when your are playing out-of-the-box Civ3 games.

Here is the last paragraph from the readme file that details how you should swap the resource files in-and-out:

You must use one of the three supplied version of the resource graphics to successfully play the game. The special resources for the Gotm20 game will not work with any other Civ3 or PTW game outside of Gotm20-Spain. To load and play other standard Civ3v1.29 games that have not been upgraded to be compatible with PTW, you will need to follow a similar procedure to reach down into your "resources storage" folder and get a copy of your original graphics files. You may switch back and forth as often as you like as long as you pay attention to the name of the folder where you select the resource graphics from.

This swapping in-and-out process is only necessary for the Civ3v1.29 version of the games because the PTW version has the feature built in to the scenario control functions.
