Hi folks, I got C4C a couple of weeks ago after playing Civ4 for years - I have no idea why I waited so long! Anyway, I found aspects of vanilla C4C overly complex, so I'm glad I found out about AoD2... it seems like the most popular mod, or at least a top mod to try. But I have some basic questions...
1) What version of C4C do I have?? The AoD2 download (1.12) says it requires C4C "1.01f". I used the C4C in-game updater, and "About This Build" reads:
But why guess? And why do folks always have different ways of calling game versions?? LOL. Ok, nm me. It would be nice if the main AoD2 doc had a quick note about noobs can find and interpret their C4C version, though.
2) I can see that there is, for example, a nice long changelog in the AoD2 zip file, and also, of course, there's this forum. But it there a simple overview of how the feel of this game will differ from vanilla C4C?
I take it that "AODII ChangeLog.txt" spells out ALL the changes from vanilla, yes? Which if true means that technically it shows all the differences. But that doesn't tell me succinctly how I should differ my approach, etc. If you know of a webpage or thread that says this, could you provide a link?
Thanks, folks! I'm looking forward to something that will make C4C rock!

Col Ver 101
Save Ver 2
Build Ver 1.0.0.1 (121000)
Build Date 2/27/09
FINAL RELEASE
None of these is quite "1.01f", although I can guess that 101 = 1.01 and f = Final.Save Ver 2
Build Ver 1.0.0.1 (121000)
Build Date 2/27/09
