This month we are again using the simple instructions method to see if this is enough information for players to successfully setup their game to play.

Included in this zip folder is a test save game file that you may load into your Civ3v1.29 game to test and determine if you have installed the graphics and text files properly to support this game. The test file is not the real game and has nothing to do with the real Gotm18-Clets game other than testing the installation. After you think you have installed the files to play Gotm18 properly, load the save game file titled "gotm19_units_test.sav" and if it generates an error message this will tell you what steps in the process that you may have missed.

In this zip package you will find a number of folders with names that will help you locate the corresponding folder that should be located under your

	C:\Program Files\Infogrames Interactive\Civilization III\

directory if you followed the default installation instructions.

Carefully open each folder that should go somewhere in the ART folders and then select all the files or folders inside and then press "copy". Locate the corresponding folder where these files should be placed and then press paste.

For the files that go into the TEXT folder, we strongly recommend that you first locate the existing files in that folder that already have the same names. Rename the existing files to be something like "original_filename.txt" or something else you can recognize easily. Then locate the new text files and copy them into place.

You must have the following filepacks from Gotma16, Gotm17, Gotm18 and Gotm19 properly installed on your computer in order for the game to play:

Gotm16 - the squid unit
Gotm17 - the Spartan Hoplite
Gotm17 - the eqworker files, volcano, and fog units
Gotm18 - the graphics files for 5 unit animations:
	 European Swordsman, Frankish Axeman, Medieval Swordsman, Persian Mercenary, and Pictish Warrior
	   PLUS two leaderhead sets.
Gotm19 - the updated text files plus the following 12 units:
arabiancaravel, Azap Infantry, Balkan Dragoon, Fanatic, Galleass, Muslim Caravel, Separatist, Settler1, Settler2, Spanish Missionary, Worker1, Worker2
	   PLUS two additional leaderhead sets.

Once you have your graphics in place the game should be ready to run and you can then download the starting save game file from the following internet address anytime after the 1st of April 2003.

Good luck in you game and please be sure to read the online game instructions so that you will be prepared to particpate in the discussions that will be opened to support this game.
