Why is AGG/PRO banned? They never struck me as traits that were overwhelming even with the buffs.

I believe due to overplayed. Pro is one of the best traits currently, and AGG is not far from it. Makes TOKU of all leaders, top...3? leaders.

Settings looked fine, thanks for setting this up!

Thanks to everyone for setting this up.  I'm in and everything looks fine on my end.

I'm going to be somewhat out of pocket until April 21.  Should be able to play just fine, but I might have a delay here and there.  No pauses necessary or anything like that.

I am ambivalent about AI diplo settings.

Just spent an insane amount of time driving.
Arrived at destination, need some sleep and I'll get my first turn.

I downloaded the mod and tried to log in and.. was immediately kicked out of the game. An error message said something about a "runtime error" which I`ve never seen before.

The mod was placed in the same folder as the other mods I`ve downloaded. What to do?

Screenshot of the error?

[JR4]

Screenshot of the error?

Here is what it says:

"Runtime Error! 

Program: IV/Beyond the Sword/beyond the sword/civ4beyondsword.exe

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.

Please contact the application`s support team for more information."

I would also suggest you install our two optional enchantments:
1. The modified executable 'Civ4BeyondSword2015.exe' Without this variant you will blocking other players if you are logged in.

2. The 'BTS_Wrapper.exe', which improves the login time. I've posted details about this program here: https://www.realmsbeyond.net/forums/show...#pid697240

I've bundled the files both features in this Archive. It needs to be extracted into your Civ4:BTS installation folder.

To load the game with mod + enchantments, create a shortcut to one of the new executables.

@Ramkhamhaeng: I did the above and created the shortcut to Civ4BeyondSword2015.exe ... yesterday I opened Civ through your .exe file and noticed that Steam screenshot key didn't capture any screenshots. I didn't have time then, but just tested logging into the game after loading the mod the normal way and screenshot key worked fine (opening Civ through Steam > load mod from main menu). Is that expected behavior for Steam screenshots not working from your .exe? If so, how does one take screenshots?

Separate issue: I get the following errors when trying to load the wrapper .exe ... after clicking OK to clear both messages, Civ 4 BtS opens with no mods loaded. [EDIT: resolved the .dll file issue, Symantec identfied it as a threat and was blocking it]

Please check if the folder structure is "Mods/RtR_4.0.8.5/RtR_4.0.8.5/" but not "Mods/RtR_4.0.8.5/".
This double nesting is a common issue and the crash indicates that the RtR-DLL was not loaded.

If you start the '2015-exe', the game is started without any dependency to Steam. One could say you hat now two variants installed. The old Steamless-variant and the newer Steam-variant.

@Screenshots: If you press [PrintScreen], Civ4 stores Screenshots into „My Documents\My Games\Beyond the Sword\Screenshots“.
With [Shift]+[PrintScreen] you could also naming it directly (But in sense of Pitboss games I prefer the correct ordering by the picture id… )


@BTS_Wrapper.exe: The libcurl.dll is included in the Zip-Archive. Did you copy all files into the BTS-Game installation folder? Maybe an antivirus program prevent the Wrapper from loading the DLL?
Edit: Does you add an space character after 'mod='? I think it is missing. The first character after '=' will be stripped by Civ4! An other stupid behaviour

Yes, that worked. I was able to log in and claim the correct civ. Thanks!
