This game will be played in Civilization IV Beyond the Sword, version 3.19, using the to be released BUFFY-3.19.005 HoF mod.
If a later BtS patch is released during this game you will NOT be able to use it to play. You will need to complete this game in BtS version 3.19 before updating your copy of BtS, or you should create and update a separate copy. See also the note about Steam updates below.
Macintosh players can only join in if they are able to run the Windows software on their system. - Steam
If you play BtS using Steam, then your BtS will auto-update to a new version which is incompatible with those playing the DVD version.

If it loads OK in your copy of BtS, then you are ready to play.
