Where to download latest build ?
- Thread starter terranu1
- Start date
V36 is the latest official version but it is really outdated already.
The SVN can give you the latest build of the mod.

I suggest using the "Crime Patch" if not using the SVN. It's pretty up to date(just a few revisions back). However, some of the changes from the newer revisions are save breaking, so you would probably be better off with the SVN.

Thank you ! I saw that SVN thing but thought it said for developpers, I will download through that now.
And one more thing, I've read alot about insane turn times and game-breaking crashes in later eras but most of these people were playing huge/gigantic with more than 20 civs .
Is the game finishable on what I usually play AND2 mod, large map with 15-20civs revolutions off ,snail/marathon ? Maybe a heads up of what to expect. I love seeing a game progress from most ancient times to modern eras but never was actually able to finish an AND2 game or C2C which I tried a few years back, always after 700 turns or so, the dreaded gamebreaking crash that I could do nothing about.
I did use all the tricks in the book, back then, low graphic settings, quick combat/quick movement, single unit graphics, setting a bat file to assign high priority and have a 3.3ghz quadcore, 6gb ram , 1gb video mem so it was surely not a memory limit thing.

SVN isn't for developers only so much as it's for those who are willing to put up with developers' constant stream of changes, and occasional mistakes. Once you get the hang of using it it's much better and more flexible than any fixed download, as you can update or revert to previous versions easily.
I usually play on Large maps with 12ish starting civs, no revolutions, no barbarian civs (no new civs emerging from barbarian cities), Snail, and I have reached well into the Transhuman era (After Modern, before Galactic) without any major issues, and lower system specs than yours. That corresponds to turn counts of well over 1000 turns, though recent adjustments to tech costs have changed that significantly. I think my longest-running game, on the previously mentioned settings, was nearing the 2000 turn mark before the combination of boredom and SVN updates led to its abandonment, and turn times were still manageable. Slowdowns, of course, but even then I've rarely had turn timers go much above a few minutes at most. I haven't a clue as to how the pacing (or map size, for that matter) compares to those of AND2, but overall C2C is far more tolerant of larger (if not truly enormous) map sizes and longer games than it used to be, due to various technical breakthroughs made by programmers more talented than I.
There's currently a few erratic bugs relating to combat animations that remain unsolved, but I've always used Quick Combat and haven't had any reproducible/unavoidable crashes in quite some time.

For getting back into C2C Marathon is a better game speed 3000 turns compared to Snails 5000 turns. Normal is a 1000 turn game and Epic is a 2000 turn, while Eon is 7000 and Eternity is 8100 (not recommended for getting reacquainted with C2C).
And playing AND2 vs C2C is now a complete world of difference even though both started from the same source. AND2 tactics/strategies may not work to well for playing C2C. I was a former AND2 team member, just like Vokarya was a former C2C Modder. Still miss his keen eye for detail.

Cool thanks very much. Hopefully that combat bug won't crash the game , I like to disable quick combat when I'm in a war that's actually a challenge ,like seeing some big battles lasting for 10 minutes between stacks of 300 units, once in a while. I have a game of AND2 going on right now, 900 turns snail im still in medieval because a few AI's got quite big and they're a pain in the ass to deal with and there's also some damned world event that keeps massively depopulating cities.(these mods have changed dramatically since I've last played them)
There's 13 AI's left, 4 of which got very large and powerful but turn times are 20 seconds or less which is surprinsingly faster than before( when quick combat/movement and minimize AI turns are enabled) . Good to hear C2C also improved, I really want to start a game there too, because of the extended timeline.

Excuse me but i am having difficulties to install civ 4 C2C on my new computer (that run under windows 10). it seams that it requires a cheat no-cd, + all patch BTS off course already installed,
that situation is very frustrating as i am a big fan of C2C for the late game that requires a strong PC hardware or not the game crash at a certain point. so i have choosen the new PC option, with a strong hardware.
but i can't install it !
please give me some response : where to download the "cheat no-cd civ4. version.BTS" file, I can't find one the civ fanatic website.

I would just by the steam version if I was honest and roll it back to the latest beta.

Huh?
What version of Civ do you have then?
As far as I understand, you simply need the "fully patched" official BTS for that (aka 3.19 version), and that's it.
Then go to the game folder, then to Beyond The Sword subfolder, then create (if there isn't) a Mods subfolder, then put the Caveman2Cosmos subfolder there - and it should work.
Note:
The mod folder MUST be called Caveman2Cosmos or it WON'T WORK.

And that's it, really.
Again - what version of the game DO you have, eh?

Some general installation tips are here too (even if you aren't using SVN).

Cheat no cd isn't a thing!
3.19 patch doesn't require any CD, and don't post in SVN thread as its for devs only.

Also you can try this one:

That worked fine for me with my new laptop. It has windows 11 so C2C will work with it too.
may I ask you if we can talk about it by whatsapp i give you my phone number if your are ok ?nut i have the original CD and i don't want to use on my PC internet in order to avoid any crappy horsehockey stuff from the net

Did you do what was suggested to you (aka updating to BtS 3.19), and did it help?

To y
You were given certain instructions how to fix it (namely, to update to BtS 3.19).
Did you or didn't you follow those instructions - and did it help you?
You complained that you had problems with installation.

He should buy game on Steam, if he's too paranoid of doing stuff in old fashioned way.
