Anybody? I really want to try this!
RFC Epic
- Thread starter Vishaing
- Start date
Try just unzipping the files from and placing the; "Rhye's and Fall of Civilization Epic" folder into your mod directory. Then load it like a normal mod.
If it doesn't work, make sure you have the latest patch from Firaxis and are using the correct version of the game (Vanilla, Warlords, BtS). If you still only get the errors, try redownloading and reinstalling.
If you STILL get errors, then the version I uploaded is for some as of yet unknown reason not working, and I'll check if the version I have is working, and reupload.
Though, even if you get the normal start options, still try going to 'start scenario' and choosing one of the RFC Scenarios. It should work regardless of what the main screen looks like unless theres an actual code problem with the mod.

Still nothing, I've never had problems with a mod like this before. I reinstalled Civ 4 and both expansions, all patches, and then extracted the epic mod. When I load the mod there is no option on the main menu to play the RFC scenarios, but if I just load BTS then they are there as an option. Any ideas?
tatertot18. The normal start options is all you should get, and RFC-bts epic is a seperate mod from "standard" RFC-bts. After loading the RFC-bts epic mod, you simply pick the scenario you wanna play, it will "automatically" be on epic game speed.

So I will be playing on random maps? The only maps I can start on are the random maps or the default maps from BTS. I have no option to start the game on the RFC map that comes with the epic mod. I guess I was confused as to what this mod did.
Okay, go into your Rhye's and Fall of Civilization Epic folder. You should have the following.
Assets
PrivateMaps
RFC_README.pdf
Rhye's and Fall of Civilization Epic.ini
That's what it should be, but I just noticed on mine it says PublicMaps. Try renaming it to PrivateMaps.
Now, on mine it works, so I'm not sure why it doesn't on yours, but this might fix it.
Where exactly did you unzip the files to?
@Lord Neil; great, provide any comments on balance and game speed. Anything you find going too quickly or too slowly, or if hte barbarians are too powerful. This goes for everyone who plays RFC Epic, give me info or I cannot balance the mod.

Changing it to PrivateMaps made all the difference! See, I knew it was something more then installing it....Thanks for the help!
I just hope my computer gets back from the shop at least playable...
First I brought my computer to the Shop to get a new modem so I can download things like this so I wait about 2 weeks... Then I get it back... They took all virus protection off so I cant even try and see if they fixed modem(Back to square one) So I think o well... I have been Civ less for 2 weeks so I decide to play RFC... alls fine first day so I get up the next morning... load It up... loading screen doesn't appear where it should... I wait about 15 minutes still nothing... I close it... try again... and again... after a few hours of loading different saves one finally loads... I had started as the Chinese then switched to the Russians... turns out I could only load Chinese saves... then I try loading it ingame it works! Im playing as the Russians! The Spanish contact me... and... im deaf... I cant see any words they say... im mute too... I cant say anything!!! So I load it up again... I get about 10 turns in without troubles... then my computer reboots
at this point I was really getting mad... My computer had encoutered a serious error!!! This goes on for about another 3 HOURS!!! then I decide to take out my anger on some lunch 
So then I played a game as the portugese... computer crashes a few more times, devolope a loading sequence... lots of minor and SERIOUS error reports... 
red=me blue=computer shop dude

I can load the mod but there are no options to start a game... and when I try to extract RFC.mp3 something pops up and says "bad CRC c10fd899 (should be 510f4f16)" It says I need to download it again to fix it but it took me 8 hours... do u know anything i can do about this? Maybe if you could put that file separate or something
it is RFC.mp3

have spent over 12 hours downloading this and unless you know what is wrong I am not gona try againI'm sorry, but I have no idea what's going wrong. It downloads and extracts fine on mine. I can't test it in game because I just reformatted and am having trouble getting the time to reinstall cIV.
Are you using Internet Explorer or something along those lines? Because I know IE has trouble downloading large files or files that take a long time to download. If you are using IE, the download is probably getting corrupted from long download times. Unfortunately the only way to fix this would be to downlaod a download manager (there is a good one in Firefox or Opera), and redownload the mod.
Sorry I can't help, but that's all I can think of.

Okay, I have two ideas that, while crazy, might just be crazy enough to work.
Idea 1: go into the Rhye's and Fall of Civilization Epic folder, and Delete the file called Rhye's and Fall of Civilization Epic.ini. Try running the game, this should let you choose any game option, go to scenarios and try the RFC Epic scenario of your choice.
Idea 2: Does normal RFC work on your computer now?

I may try idea 1 tomorrow and yes normal RFC does work currently... Also I cant seem to get the patch 3.07 for RFC either... for the patch, I download, use winzip wizard thing and choose unzip and install then everything just kinda disappears... its odd... im gona try to start anew tommorow by deleting the files and zip files... Im really getting anoyed
