    To you, everyone will appear with "MOD" except other STEAM players. To them, you (and only you/other steam players) will appear with it.

    It means that some game files are not identical. Hopefully it is only the Steam exe itself - and not something more serious in the Steam distribution.

    It (could) also indicate that someone has different XML files or somesuch - either cheating or messed up their installation (I have that problem with warlords, need to eventually reinstall that).

      Cool. I'd wager there is even a different exe given that I don't have to have a disk... just a live Internet connection at the time of launch.

      Relief though, glad to know I got my rear-end kicked because I'm a Civ4 newbie...

      Civ and WoW are my crack... just one... more... turn...

          Ok - will do later tonight - do I need a password for Pacal?????

          Or do I put my own in.......

All he'd wanted were the same answers the rest of us want. Where did I come from? Where am I going? How long have I got? All I could do was sit there and watch him die.

            Were the civs chosen THE chosen civ for the real game?? I picked any old one only to see if I could join ......

            If so, who did I pick???

              I thought this was just a test setup?

              Anyhow, I have jined the game as Pascal and played the turn.

              Only one left to play.........

                  Snoopy, Does the "test" game have the same number of civs as players?

                        Indeed

                        FF, there is a different EXE. However, Direct2Drive also has a different EXE. I don't think the EXE itself is checked by the mod check. Something else is up with the Steam install; hopefully it's something benign, and not an incorrect version file or something.

                        Once everyone's connected i'll get Ms Snoopy to draw some names out of hats, out of the full BtS leaderset.

                              I leave in about 24hrs - will we be go with this by then?

                              If not - it is fine - start the game - I will send the person who is helping me out my desired password etc - and they can play while I am away.

                              Please do not hold the game up on my account.....
