I've encountered a problem where I can't even seem to start a game. I loaded up the mod, selected Egypt on a standard Pangaea map and after selecting ""Begin your journey" it crashes. I've tried it several times now. The first time was with the R.E.D. mod, then I tried this on its own and it doesn't let me play.
Please help, I really want to play this mod.
I'd suggest clearing the cache and trying the mod again.
The #1 problem newcomers to mods seem to encounter is the cache. When mods are updated or changed, old data lingers in Civ's cache folder and causes problems when it collides with the new data. This can confuse newcomers to mods, since the errors that occur if the cache is not clear are rather strange.
The manual solution is to delete the cache each time any mods are updated or added.
It would be great if the game can automatically detect if new mods are enabled, and if so, clear the relevant data from these two folders automatically:
Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 5\cache
Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 5\ModUserData
