I tried starting the new 6.0 version for BTS, but it failed. I installed it in the same directory as the former versions. I can load the mod without a problem.
But when i want to select a scenario, i dont see the privatemaps for GEM, only the Public maps. Am i doing something wrong?
Oops, sorry! It suddenly works perfect now. Must have been me doing something stupid.
Let's just never mention this again...

For people complaining the diplomatic screen:
Thanks for JEELEN for reporting:

I don't want to include it in GEM by default because I don't have a problem with it and don't want to waste that extra space for the scroll.
It only has one file so it should be a easy merge. But remember, use WinMerge with the existing file in GEM if you want to keep everything.

Another solution is to use the BUG mod, which also allows for a scrollable scoreboard. It can be used with GEM without any problems and no need for merging (by installing the BUG mod in the "CustomAssets" folder, see documentation).

I tried to use the BUG mod with this map, and the Domestic and Military advisors didn't work, so I uninstalled it. Also I noticed some changes from 5.3, which I am tentatively attributing to GEM 6.1. Changes to Markets, Grocers, Banks (+1 trade routes added by each) and Airports, (no extra trade route, +25% trade yield) Cannon requiring Replacable Parts instead of Steel, and Levee's requiring Engineering instead of Steam Power. I like these changes, although the Levee change makes the Dutch even more powerful than before.
Also, I noticed that the AI likes to build cities with just 1 space between cities. Is this a GEM change?

GEM combined with BUG works fine for me. You have to delete the advisors from GEM though to have the BUG ones work.
Those from GEM are only from the unofficial patch anyway, and superflous if you use BUG.

I've got myself a new computer now, with the following specifications:
Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 3.16 GHz (overclocked to 3.48 GHz)
4GB Corsair RAM
ATI Radeon HD4870X2 2GB
I'm in the future era on GEM, and I have to wait fifty seconds between each turn.

I got a new computer today and the first thing I wanted to do was try GEM on BTS since i couldnt run it before, however I have lost disk 2 for BTS and so i must settle with CIV 4
-Is this mod any good for CIV4 or is it just good for BTS?

Vanilla Civ4 only upto Version 4.1. It doesn't include any of the scenarios.
I love looking at this thread. I haven't downloaded it, and I don't think I will for some time, but this is just incredible. The scenarios look flawless and the map especially looks like it came from another world.
One question though:
Is RFC on GEM just my fantasy, or could it ever be a reality?

I downloaded the GEM mod today. It seemed to install fine and opened up seemingly just as well. The thing is that, though, once the game started none of the menu bars or buttons showed up. I had to do everything by keyboard hotkeys. I have BUG installed. My guess is that there is some conflict between the two? Anyone have ideas on how to resolve the issue?

Yes. BUG will cause a conflict with GEM. It is because GEM uses Better AI and the two have some conflicts in python. In fact, I have just installed BUG myself recently and found out this page to merge the two:

I followed exactly the method of "If you installed BUG 3.5 to CustomAssets and want to install Better AI as a standalone Mod:" and I got BUG to work on GEM!

No. I think I should leave it optional. I am installing BUG in the asset folder and running GEM as a mod.
I will need to check whether GEM will still run smoothly without BUG now.

I'm really liking this mod so far. I don't really like major rule changes in CIV mods (there's always a problem with game balance), so playing a mod that focuses on creating an awesome map is great.
There's just one issue so far. The slower tech rate and higher military costs seem to be hurting the AI more than me. In my game (4000BC start, ancient resources) it's around 1000 BC and I've walked over Germany, Hungary and Rome without any problems. They had cities guarded only by warriors, so it was a cakewalk for me. Also, if I'm not mistaken, the AI starts with Archery on higher difficulty levels, so them having only warriors was really weird for me.
I do however enjoy the increased road mobility on a huge map.
Overall, awesome work!

To everyone,
I haven't been working on Civ modding for a while as I have been busy at work. I also don't think I will be spending time on modding in the near future. In fact, as has been mentioned before, I have been phasing out of modding and now is probably the time I would like to say goodbye.
There were already some work I did for GEM 7 which I could tidy it up and release it if I have time. It will not be a completed release, however, as was planned.
Thanks for your support to GEM in the past, it was a great experience to meet lots of you in here. Probably we will see again in Civ 5

Godspeed, Genghis. You've left a lasting legacy in your excellent map, and I would like to thank you for all your effort. Hopefully we'll see more of you when Civ 5 rolls around.
