The BUG Project

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. The development chat is at CFC but we have our own website where we store the code.

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 can be used as a stand-alone MOD, and will require BUG to be installed as well to have all of it's features.

We feel these Mods is safe for use in any Succession Games, even if the Succession Game being played is running off another Mod. 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.

If you would like to have your Mod added, please visit the Project Development page on SourceForge.

Current BUG version: 2.10 (Compatible with Beyond the Sword version 3.13 only!)
Current BAT version: 0.06 (Compatible with Beyond the Sword versions 3.00 to 3.03!)
