Caveman2Cosmos is a CivFanatics community mod that add new features and content to the Civilization 4 experience, with almost daily updates since November 2010. It is the spiritual successor the The Civilization 4 mod Rise of Mankind and its addon A New Dawn, and combined the work of over 100+ modders to create a mod to "rule them all". It is developed by StrategyOnly Productions with its modding team made up of prominent members of CivFanatics.
Version 40 rules. A large volume of fixes, speed-ups, memory efficiency and graphic improvements.
They are permamently active now
Keep up the great work!

Having a problem: Load error: GFC Error: failed to initialize the primary control theme.
Playing via Steam, tried putting the mod in both the BtS install directory AND documents, or in either. When it's NOT in documents folder I cant even select the mod in the load a mod menu ingame...
I didn't have this problem with the previous version of this mod. Please provide a detailed instruction on how to proceed. absolutely LOVE this mod so really want to play it BAD
Mod and game can't be in my documents
Make sure it isn't in nested folder and is named "Caveman2Cosmos"
In C:\Users\<USERNAME>\Documents\My Games\Beyond the Sword there is CivilizationIV.ini, open it and edit "mod =" line so it says "mod = Caveman2Cosmos"
Also enable beta for Civilization IV as without it you have graphical glitches
Problem solved in the Programfilesx86~beyondthesword folder was AGAIN a beyondthesword folder where the mod was supposed to go in the folder MODS.! now it works!
Ah so base game folder had confusing name :p
So yeah, there is base game folder/Beyond The Sword/Mods
Report it on forums.
I do like this Mod, Although I do have a question that just won't go away, Why has the UK not got the SAS and SBS. Although under SOE at the time, these boys were disabling mines across all of the beaches of Normandy. The SAS and SBS Trained the Seal team, Yet Firaxis and many modders follow the line that the SEAL team is the only important special forces, which is incorrect wrong and misleading. Please, Please add the SAS and SBS and give them mine field clearance as that's what they are trained to do. Another point is that more UK special forces have purple hearts ect American medals than any US special forces having UK medals. The UK Special forces have been at the fore front of any US military campaign and were in the Vietnam war. I would also like to see special forces chinooks, and Hercules and Globe Masters of which these guys can do para drops from. I would also like to see SBS been able to use Submarines for stealth incursions by sea. These minor improvements would for me make this amongst the best Mods in the whole series. Would it be possible to use the WLBO mod, as that is such a brilliant edition to any Civ 4 game?
There is unit review ongoing, maybe those will be added...
Help pls the game crashes whenever I click on load the mod.
Mod can't be in my documents, and must be named "Caveman2Cosmos"
This is listed as a Full Version, but when I load the mod it complains that files cannot be loaded. For example "Assets\xml\text\strategy2_civ4gametext.xml". These files exist in the v40 download.
Never overwrite old version with new one.
You must delete old version.
A really impressive mod, the last time i checked it, i noticed that the optimization was significantly improved, my PC is basically a potato so that helps a lot.
Keep up this awesome work, of course!
Are there any installation instructions for steam users? I switched to beta version (and as a result i get annoying error messages about an audio capture device), and tried installing the mod in the steamapps and under My Games, but always get the GFC error when loading the mod.
Can't be in Documents folder and must be named Caveman2Cosmos
Out of nostalgia I came back to CIV 4, never expected this mod to still be alive and getting updates! Amazing work all of you! Really appreciate the content you provide!
A3 is correct, the mod folder MUST be Caveman2Cosmos. Probably some hard code reference to it. This is the location for the Steam installation: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Sid Meier's Civilization IV Beyond the Sword\Beyond the Sword\Mods\Caveman2Cosmos
Yeah there is lots of hardcoded stuff, that prevents mod from functioning in Documents folder, and with name other than Caveman2Cosmos
