History Rewritten 1.24 file

INSTALLATION

1. Rename, move or delete any previous installation of History Rewritten
2. Extract the downloaded archive (7zip)
3. Move the resulting "History Rewritten" folder to the correct location (see below)
4. Done!

For clarity, the location you need to install History Rewritten is the same place that all the mods that came with BTS are located; Gods of Old, Road to War, etc. This location may vary a little on each system but the correct path should closely resemble one of the following:

OS X:

• /Applications/Civilization IV/Beyond the Sword/Mods/
• ~/Library/Application Support/Steam/SteamApps/Common/Sid Meier's Civilization IV Beyond the Sword/Mods/

Windows:

• C:\Program Files\Sid Meier's Civilization IV\Beyond the Sword\Mods\
• C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\Common\Sid Meier's Civilization IV Beyond the Sword\Beyond the Sword\Mods\

Note that BTS has TWO mod folders; one in the same location as the BTS application itself and one somewhere in /Documents/ or \MyDocuments\. History Rewritten will NOT work if installed in one of the Documents locations.

It will also fail to run if the folder is renamed. It should be named "History Rewritten" with no version number appended. Also be sure that your unarchiving software has not 'double-nested' the mod folder - there should not be a History Rewritten folder inside another History Rewritten folder.
