oh sorry, I didn't notice this comment, because new comments.. why are they not shown when loggin in....

those lines are alerts only. no need for worries. lots of entries in the BTS XML have NONE as the default value. and even those lines are shown in error log.

I am afraid, I can't really help with that error, because if I play with 52 CIVs my tiny laptop crashes sooner than my big comp. I think the old engine of CIV4 has RAM problems, so I only play with max 30 civs on large maps. that works really fine till the end.

it sounds as if something happened when unpacking the files. or the mod is not in the BeyondTheSword/mods folder.
you may not add the mod into your custom folder of MyGames/BeyondTheSword, but then you'll get an GUI error.

I am so sorry you dislike this mod. It isn't that easy and more strict than the original game.
I can understand your disappointment in building your improvements, and yes you can build workers first and after that you have to research what they are able to build. it would be more frustrating if it was the other way round.
and for roads: they come very, very late. but no worries, if you improve your plots, you will automatically get paths to the next city. so you don't need to build roads. If I were completely strict, there won't be roads until Roman roads.... but for gameplay, it is better to be able to build some in bronze era.
ah and yes, the Egyptian had (spoked) wheels, but they had no roads...

In his most famous epic work, The Annales, Ennius covers Roman history from Aeneas to the Punic Wars. He created the first Roman national epic. He inspired the poet Virgil in writing the 'Aeneid'.

But to expand the repertoire of famous and important ancient stuff, I'll add it and give Etruscans Ennius und Romans Virgil. ;)

Put the unzipped PieAncientEuropeV-folder into the original folder of ../CivIV/Beyond the Sword/Mods/
(not into the ../Documents/MyGames/Beyond the Sword/Mods folder)

Perhaps you have to install CIV IV new. for PAE you need the CIV IV complete edition (+warlords,+bts).

There is a new version out since some years: PieAncientEuropeVI

Please follow that version.

all the best
Pie

that could be a lot. but yes, I will upload some pics of the best known ancient CIVs. The mod contains 33 civilizations (Etruscans, Phoenicians, Iberians, Hebrews, Assyrians, Britons, Hittites,...) with a total of 156 leaders (not mentioned all the replic tribes and leaders in the scenarios).
Edit: I added some pics.

of course. with a very detailed tech tree, units, buildings and ethnic unit+city styles.
About screenshots: bronze age is only one of the five big eras in PAE: neolithic era, bronze age, iron age, classical age and late antiquity.
do you prefer map pics, units pics or comparing city/unit styles from bronze age to another age? if you know CIV, you can't still keep in a certain age, you will have to tech to a better age otherwise you get razed from your neighbour civs. ;)
