Welcome to the Beyond the Sword Game of the Month for October.
Scope of the Game:
Please note that the HOF mod is compulsory. See Software Versions for details. Windows Players: If you have NOT installed Beyond the Sword version 3.13 or 3.17 then you either need to do so, or you need to replace the CvGameCoreDLL.dll files in your Civ4 and Warlords \Assets\ folders to emulate this installation. Download the replacement files here. C-IV Botm CCXCVII: Mongolia Play as Kublai Khan of the Mongolian Empire at Prince difficulty level. Perhaps an unusual combination of settings to make it spooky. Enjoy! Game duration October 15 to November 15
New Players If you have not played a Civ4 GOTM before then please visit the Introduction Page to ensure you are familiar with the rules and requirements of the competition. Software Versions Windows players require version 3.19 of Civilization IV BtS, as well as Hof Mod version BUFFY-3.19.005, available here. Mac players will require version 3.19 of Civilization IV BtS, plus HoF Mod version MacBUFFY-3.19.003, available here. Entries played under any other patch, or not using the Hof Mod will not be accepted! There is a post here detailing the game-play differences between vanilla, Warlords and BtS. Thanks go to psparky for compiling it.
