Newbie to GOTY: 2 questions

[Grotius]

I'm new to GOTM, and I'd like to try the current GOTY. I have Civ 3 Conquests installed, and I'd like to play with PTW in the Open category. I have two questions: have I downloaded the correct files; and where do I install them?

I. First, have I downloaded everything? Does Conquests come with the correct versions of PTW? I've downloaded the following:

1. PTW GOTM21: the full PTW DL (gotm21_ptw_full.setup.exe) (the webpage says the file is 3.1M, but Windows explorer says it's 3847KB)
2. PTW GOTM22 add-on (.exe, 288KB)
3. PTW GOTM23 seemed to have no add-on, only a readme file -- did I miss something?
4. PTW GOTM24 add-on (.exe, 4991KB)
5. PTW GOTM25 add-on (.exe, 7113KB)
6. Nothing from GOTM26, right?
7. PTW GOTM27_open_zip (78KB zipped file)

II. Where do I install all this stuff? One source seemed to say I should download all the .exe files into the Civ III directory, not into the PTW folder. Is that right? And I assume I put the GOTM27 zip file into the PTW save folder?

Sorry for all the questions, but I want to make sure I've got this right.

Grotius,

Welcome to our competition.

I'm not 100% sure of the directory structure created when the conquests PTW install in created. However, I would be 99% sure that you should install to the main directory - certainly NOT the PTW directory.

The directory to install to will be the parent directory to the Civ3PTW directory.

Please also note that it would also be appreciated if you direct these questions to me or a GOTM staff member via e-mail / PM, to avoid turning this forum into a tech support one!

Ainwood,

Thanks for your reply. OK, in the future I'll direct this sort of question to you via PM or e-mail.
