WOTM with just Civ4/BTS?

[Drphil]

Is it possible to play WOTM 15 if I have Civ 4 and BTS but not Warlords?
If so, how do I load the game?

Thanks

No, it is not. You need warlords to play the WOTM.

Sorry, if you don't have Warlords then you can't play WOTMs. BtS doesn't automatically come with Warlords unless you buy one of the combination packs.

I bought the Civ 4/BtS bundle from Direct 2 Drive. Will that work for WOTM?

 

[AlanH]

Only if it includes a \Warlords\ directory and a Civ4Warlords.exe file within your Civ4 main directory.

[UPDATE] Sorry, I just checked what you bought.

I bought Civ4 Complete on a single DVD in the UK for UKP17.99 including delivery. That's less than US$38 at current exchange rates, all taxes and delivery included. It contains Civ4 plus BOTH expansions. The UK is not noted for its low prices on imported games, but US$59.95 for Civ4 plus ONE expansion looks like a very poor deal to me

So it's only one expansion?

Hmph.

Hmph.

That's how I read the Direct 2 Drive web info, but since you have the product you can tell for sure whether you got Warlords as well.

Right click the shortcut for Civ4 and select "Properties". Note the disk folder that it gives. Use Windows Explorer to look in that folder. If it contains a Warlords folder that contains a file called Civ4Warlords.exe, then you have Warlords. If not then you don't.

There's a warlords folder, but no Civ4warlords.exe. Also, I discovered that I have Pitboss! Yay!
