Historical Archive Of Civ4 Mods

There has been a problem with unmaintained Civ4 mods becoming unavailable in the past. This archive is supposed to address this.

Available Mods

The following mods are currently available in the archive:

Wild Mana 8.34

The final version of Wild Mana, the predecessor to Master of Mana. However Wild Mana is noticably different from Master of Mana and some people consider Wild Mana to be the superior mod. It is certainly a complete, stable, and fun mod. This package is standalone and does not require a FFH installation.

Master of Mana 1.42g Hotfixed

The last version of Master of Mana before things "got crazy" as I like to say. More balanced, complete, and less buggy than later versions. This package is standalone and does not require a FFH installation.

Master of Mana 1.42g Hotfixed Xtended

Modmod of the above with more stuff and some changes. This package is standalone and does not require a FFH or Master of Mana installation.

Orbis 1.0b Hotfixed With Soundtrack

A beloved FFH modmod which is hard to sum up with a sentence or two. Just try it! This package is standalone and does not require a FFH installation.

Installation

All mods are repackaged as RAR5 archives with BLAKE2 checksums i.e. you need WinRAR 5.x to extract them. Once WinRAR is installed simply extract them to the mod folder e.g. assuming you installed Civ4 to "C:\Games\Civ4": "C:\Games\Civ4\Beyond the Swords\Mods"

If you want to start a mod directly just create a new Windows shortcut with a target like:

"C:\Games\Civ4\Beyond the Sword\Civ4BeyondSword.exe" mod=\Orbis

Switching Between Mods

Remember that switching between mods in Civ4 might mess up the settings of said mods. Always start a game with "Play Now!" (i.e. not "Custom Game") once after switching mods to restore the mod's settings to their defaults. Note that you do not actually have to play the game, just start it.
