I would like to share with you all a new mod I found on the Civfanatics.

It is called the Bug Project, which stands for:

BtS Unaltered Game Play.

Basically it is an enhancement of the game that makes it possible to get........... well I'll just use the authors descriptions:

BTS Unaltered Gameplay, or BUG, is a modification code for Civilization IV: BTS. CIV is a very easy game to modify, but not all modifications are compatible with each other. In an effort to combines these many different Mods from the Civ community, into one concise program, the BUG Project was born.

BUG combines mods that do not change the basic game play of CIV, while adding flavor and ease of use. Some aspects that we feel are within this criteria are Advisor Screens, City View Screen, the Main View Screen, the Civopedia, as well as the way units may look but not the way they play. Also, any addition or changes made, will not provide any information that cannot be figured out within the game itself.

BAT is an add-on to the BUG Mod, that adds flavor to and diversity to the game. It contains the latest version of BUG, so no additional installation is required by the end user.

We feel these Mods are safe for use in any Succession Games, and have ensured any bugs which would conflict with users who are not playing with the BUG Mod are elimiated. If you find any changes within the code that modify games play, please post a message to us here, or on the Project Development link listed below, and we will make it of the utmost important to fix the problem. Also, if you find something that causes conflicts within Succession Games, please let us know as well.


They swear that game play is not changed one bit. I downloaded and have tried the BAT Mod, which includes the BUG mod, and this is one screen shot from a game I have started using this mod:



As you can see, there is a whole assortment of information available on the main scree, information that is available elsewhere, that you just cannot get otherwise so front and center! That is the BUG mod, but get the BAT Mod with it and you get all sorts of graphical enhancements as well. Just look at the Mali Map, and those warriors in the cities. It's fantastic.

And when I downloaded it, it gave me the option to download for ANY version of BtS, and it also gave me the option to set the Mod as default such that it would start whenever I started BtS, otherwise I would have to load it up as a mod whenever I wanted to use it. For greater flexibility, I chose option two!

History in the Making (which DOES alter game play) also incorporates the BUG mod, and yes, I like the additonal user interface features.

I was minded to compare this site to a sort-of-private Facebook, but, on reflection, that's not right . . . Nope. Here is a forum to exchange views and discuss topics and maybe have some literary fun; post some interesting pics (not Megabits of family krap); flag up some internet sites of Interest; pass on the occasional joke. To me, (struggling for analogy here) it's bit more like a quiet and cosy pub with locals you know and the occasional visitor from "outside"; thick stone walls and a cellar full of well-kept ale. Facebook, on the other hand, is some awful massive city-centre club that serves Fosters lager.   And, you know what? I am not unhappy with that analogy. I prefer the pub.

Here is another screenshot.

See, it reminds you when your city is going to grow, when your culture is about to expand, if you click on the f6 technology map, it even brings back the Civ Advisors, as each of the Cultural, Scientific Engineering, Religious, etc. etc. etc. make their recommendations as to what research you should pursue.
