Very nice mod. It has so many improvements that I cannot play CIVIV without it anymore.
It has a major struggle between good and evil, magic, heroes, events and much, much more. A must try.

Well, I am going to give this a go as well.
What exactly does one need to run this mod?
can't seem to locate the install instructions... I am sure if it was a snake it would bite me.

When you say "MoM", just how "MoMish" is it? I loved that game, so it would kick ass if they made a remake, even if only as a mod.

damn - that never happened to me in civ 4 - another civilization asked me to leave mine and take over as their leader.
Buuut - as stupid as I am a read that they wanted to offer me their kingdom so i accepted and *woosh* i had this bottom ranked, totally mismanaged tiny kingdom in the middle of a few freakin mountains and between two of the strongest and most aggressive civs.
So i saved, loaded the last auto-save and saved it under a new name - loaded the other (with the new civ) again and thought 'let's try':
A couple of turns later my kingdom is growing (had to re-do almost every modernisation - AI must have been put on stupid-mode) when both of the other civs started attacking.
Well, unnecessary to say I got torn apart there - but I was able to keep 1 city that lies a bit more south in the mountains.
I'll see later where that gets me - I suppose oblivion but at least I wanna try
This game's fun
But did that ever happen to anyone in the vanilla civ 4 (or bts)?

well... FFH lacks of zoomed tactical combat... its only "Momish" not a MOM total conversion. But with over 300 units, events and magic is a great dark fantasy game itself

nope(this feature is not in the normal civ version), like I said it has A LOT of cool events, for example later when the armageddon counter is high enough the 4 hourseman come and bring destruction.
Or the first time I played I got an event which gave me a hero o.O
Oh and every civ has a cool world spell which you can only use 1 time.
There are so many more cool things, like 2 special civs which you can "summon" to the world. It's just such a great mod, and everytime you play you find sth new.

well, I downloaded Civ 4 and all the patches, mods, and cracks I needed.
I downloaded the 3 files for the mod. Seemed to have installed everything fine... when the mod loaded it gave me some kinda of error about not being able to load a control gui or some such. i am sure I screwed something up along the way. Will try again tomorrow.
Fatigue makes my brain misfire... not that it fires normally anyway.
I may put an order in to buy Civ4 and all the expansions. i am sure there is some kinda platinum edition or some such.
Are any of you guys playing it with warezed copies (probably a dumb question).
Edit: well, apparently the only bundle is gold and they offer just the warlords expansion.
Speaking of which, i didnt install warlords. Do I need to install that as well as Beyond The Sword for this to work?

there are 2 versions of the mod
for Vanilla civ and for BtS civ, you don't need Warlords
go to this URL
http://forums.civfanatics.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=1
if you have BtS you click on the download file link
you can also download patch L and media pack for version 0.32, both are optional though.
if you have Vanilla civ download the 0.23c version
I don't think that a crack would srew up a mod, but I have not tested it.

Greetings!
FFH2 is one of the best civ4 mods ever =) actually a lot better than regular game imho.
To answer last question you dont need warlords installed and you can launch ffh2 directly through a shortcut (or one of the mod launchers you can find at civfanatics)

i also strongly recommend the map plugin: TECTONICS --> "This script is designed to produce mountain ranges, and simulate plate tectonics, giving more realistic/earthlike terrain (mountain ranges, mountains near the coasts like the Andes or between subcontinents like the Himalaia)"
http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=149278
copy paste the file in Publicmaps. Choose Tectonics ingame.

Bought and installed CIV 4 complete during the weekend, then found this mod, and fucking hell it's awesome! I'd rather play this mod than a lot of full price fantasy/strategy games (Dom 3 excepted though). Only drawback is that the AI seems somewhat weak and unable to use magic and stuff effectively. Anyway, any Nforcers with experience with all the modmods and stuff? Are they as good quality as the full mod and well balanced?
