This is a total conversion mod for CIV IV BTS 3.19. It plays during the antiquity from 5000 BC until 500 AD. PAE goes very deep in detail of those times. The ranking system of the Romans you've learned to play with in PAE V since patch 4 will be expanded to the Egypt, Carthaginians, Macedonians, Greeks, Spartans, Sumerians, Persians, Assyrians and Babylonians. With those new ranking systems (works like unit promotions, but come automatically in almost every won battle) you are able to upgrade to new officer units with their historical look (skin).

Hi Pie.
Firstly, thank you so much for your work on this mod and its predecessors. They have been my favourite mod for any game since I started playing it in 2011.
I recently reinstalled Civ IV and started playing the latest version of the mod with all patches available here, and everything played many many turns on the 52-Civ Marathon scenario until it reaches a time around 2700-2500 BC and then the game will crash at the end of a specific turn, every time, but will play fine from preceding turns.
I have replicated this on both the Steam version and on the GOG version, playing through from the start each time. The turn is different but it is the same result.
With logging enabled, the Python error log remains empty and the Python debugging log does not indicate any issue.
Looking at the xml.log, everything is SUCCEEDED up until "SetGlobalClassInfo (Civ4SpecialistInfos/SpecialistInfos/SpecialistInfo)", and from that point there are several errors of "info type NONE not found" logged after each of the following XML files is loaded:
"SetGlobalClassInfo (Civ4SpecialistInfos/SpecialistInfos/SpecialistInfo)"
"SetGlobalClassInfo (Civ4VoteSourceInfos/VoteSourceInfos/VoteSourceInfo)"
"SetGlobalClassInfo (Civ4GoodyInfo/GoodyInfos/GoodyInfo)"
"SetGlobalClassInfo (Civ4SpecialBuildingInfos/SpecialBuildingInfos/SpecialBuildingInfo)"
"SetGlobalClassInfo (Civ4VictoryInfo/VictoryInfos/VictoryInfo)"
"SetGlobalClassInfo (Civ4CorporationInfo/CorporationInfos/CorporationInfo)"
"SetGlobalClassInfo (Civ4RouteInfos/RouteInfos/RouteInfo)"
"SetGlobalClassInfo (Civ4ProjectInfo/ProjectInfos/ProjectInfo)"
"SetGlobalClassInfo (Civ4BuildInfos/BuildInfos/BuildInfo)"
Looking at the LSystem.log, the following errors are logged several times each:
"could not be loaded by the resource manager"
"building:Art/Structures/Buildings/Sklavenmarkt/sklavenmarkt.nif does not contain a node called SHADOW. Its shadow, if present, will be corrupt!"
"building:Art/Structures/Buildings/Well/Well.nif does not contain a node called SHADOW. Its shadow, if present, will be corrupt!"
"Warning: Node Leaf_2x2 has no generic art matching constraint 0.000000"
"LSystem failed to place node Leaf_LandImprovement_4x4!"
"LSystem failed to place node Leaf_Farm_4x4!"
My guess is that everything is working fine up until some particular technology is discovered that grants some particular specialist to the AI civ that discovers it, and then some bug causes these XML/NIF errors to cascade. This aetiology would explain why the error takes place at a different turn on each playthrough, and from that point an earlier save from the same playthrough will work fine up until that same turn where that technology is then discovered.
Let me know if there's an address/location to which you'd like me to send the full logs.
Cheers, and thanks again for such a wonderful mod.

oh sorry, I didn't notice this comment, because new comments.. why are they not shown when loggin in....
those lines are alerts only. no need for worries. lots of entries in the BTS XML have NONE as the default value. and even those lines are shown in error log.
I am afraid, I can't really help with that error, because if I play with 52 CIVs my tiny laptop crashes sooner than my big comp. I think the old engine of CIV4 has RAM problems, so I only play with max 30 civs on large maps. that works really fine till the end.
I haven't seen a mod as anal and basically unfun as this one. This is Civ IV with a straitjacket. You have workers? Don't bother. They can't farm, they can't build towns, they can't mine, etc... Got fishing boats? Don't bother: they can't fish. Wanna build roads? You need wheels. Why? (Don't ask.) Oh but wait... you don't need just *any* wheels, they have to be *spoked* wheel. Why? (Don't ask) You got spoked wheels? Well, sorry: you *still* can't build roads. Haha! Fooled ya again. Okay, I'm sure there's some sort of reason why all these limitations come into play. I'm not gonna bother asking. This is so slow and boring, it's taking the Civ game down a torturous path hardly worth the time. I don't generally write negative reviews (or rants), but this one takes the cake (or the Pie, sorry for the pun).
I am so sorry you dislike this mod. It isn't that easy and more strict than the original game.
I can understand your disappointment in building your improvements, and yes you can build workers first and after that you have to research what they are able to build. it would be more frustrating if it was the other way round.
and for roads: they come very, very late. but no worries, if you improve your plots, you will automatically get paths to the next city. so you don't need to build roads. If I were completely strict, there won't be roads until Roman roads.... but for gameplay, it is better to be able to build some in bronze era.
ah and yes, the Egyptian had (spoked) wheels, but they had no roads...
I can't open it. It shows "Failed initializing Phython". Can someone help?
it sounds as if something happened when unpacking the files. or the mod is not in the BeyondTheSword/mods folder.
you may not add the mod into your custom folder of MyGames/BeyondTheSword, but then you'll get an GUI error.
hey, is the bronze age period featured? could we get some screenshots of it if it is? thanks a lot!
of course. with a very detailed tech tree, units, buildings and ethnic unit+city styles.
About screenshots: bronze age is only one of the five big eras in PAE: neolithic era, bronze age, iron age, classical age and late antiquity.
do you prefer map pics, units pics or comparing city/unit styles from bronze age to another age? if you know CIV, you can't still keep in a certain age, you will have to tech to a better age otherwise you get razed from your neighbour civs. ;)
could you do pics of the factions in the mod, maybe?
that could be a lot. but yes, I will upload some pics of the best known ancient CIVs. The mod contains 33 civilizations (Etruscans, Phoenicians, Iberians, Hebrews, Assyrians, Britons, Hittites,...) with a total of 156 leaders (not mentioned all the replic tribes and leaders in the scenarios).
Edit: I added some pics.
