Also (and we'll see which of tonight's two posts gets the most interest), I've finally gotten round to uploading my "realism" mod for Civ 4. IT IS NOT FINISHED YET! In fact, I haven't worked on it for ages. More particularly, things will get very, very strange as you approach the modern age, since the tech tree hasn't been properly sorted out. Don't expect to be able to play a full game. Also, my new cultural borders work isn't complete yet, and the AI doesn't really understand how it works, meaning that you probably won't get a decent game unless you set it on a mentally high difficulty (ie. Deity). Finally, note that, just like in real life, startup of your civ is extremely slow. It is designed to be played on "epic" speed. No guarantees of sensible things happening on faster speeds.

WARNING! It DOES NOT play like Civ 4. The units work differently, the tech tree is completely different, and it is VITAL that you manage your now-expanded Civics properly in order to succeed.

Download it here.

Unzip into your /Program Files/Civ 4/Mods directory (it should then appear in a directory called "ThreeLions"), start up Civ 4 and then use the mod loader to load the ThreeLions mod. You will undoubtedly get some error messages either at mod-load time or at game-start time. Just click through these. And like I say, it's designed to be played on "epic" speed.

Bug reports and suggestions for improvements welcome.

Have downloaded it and may give it a go at some point, but as I've only just got the game I'm still trying to work out how to play the one properly! I'll let you know what I think when I get round to playing it.

Will download and play as soon as I find my Civ IV DVD. And a spare day, of course.

Will it play with the add-on packs?
