Due to the patch to version 3.13 for Beyond the Sword, minor changes were made to Civ4 Vanilla v1.74 and Civ4 Warlords v2.13, which affects multiplayer play, as well as any games that are "locked modified assets", for Civilization 4 (Vanilla) and Civilization 4: Warlords.
WHO NEEDS THIS DLL: Anyone who does not have Civilization 4: Beyond the Sword, who will be playing any sort of MP (Online, PBEM, PTBS, etc.) play with players who have BTS. Additionally, anyone who will be playing "competitive" SP games with Lock Modified Assets. If you are playing in MP with others who do not have BTS, you may either all install this DLL, or none.
HOW TO USE THIS DLL:
Unzip the file, and then follow these steps to install it.
1. Open your Civilization 4 "Program Files" folder. For typical installations on XP this is C:\Program Files\Firaxis Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 4\
2. Open "Assets".
3. You will see a file called "CvGameCoreDLL.dll" in this folder. Move this file elsewhere, to a safe location (such as My Documents or somewhere else where you will be able to find it later if you want to undo this install).
4. Put the unzipped CvGameCoreDLL.dll in the Assets folder, in the place of the file you just moved away.
The process is identical for Warlords, except the Assets folder is inside C:\Program Files\Firaxis\Sid Meier's Civilization 4\Warlords\ (for typical installations). Place the Warlords CvGameCoreDLL.dll in that folder in place of the file that is currently there, first moving or copying the old file to a safe place.
If you ever need to revert to the original 1.74 / 2.13 versions, you can simply replace the new DLL with the old one that you saved in a safe location. You can also accomplish this if you forgot to save the old files by deleting the new files, and re-applying the Civ4 1.74 or Warlords 2.13 patches.
The new files will have a creation date of around 9/24/07, while the old files will have a creation date of around 5/16/07.
You can download the files here:
Civ 4 (Vanilla) DLL
Warlords DLL
These files are provided as-is with no warranty. They are the actual dll files installed by Civ4 BtS 3.13, but have not been released officially by Firaxis Games or 2KGames as a separate download.
Please post here if you have any questions
If you are a SP-only player, you probably do not need these files, and I do not recommend installing them if you are unlikely to ever play an MP game of any sort.
