Marathon Improved MOD for Civilization IV
(TEG version 2)
This is a mod for game Civilization IV from Firaxis. I am/was disturbed by
the ultra fast gameplay on normal, and the extremely slow producing gameplay
on epic/marathon. ALso I did not like the small maps in vanilla civ. Even HUGE *IS*
small (compared to huge maps in earlier civ games), even if some refuse to admit it.

Download this mod here: Marathon_Improved_mod_for_civ4.zip
How to install and play:
- Download this.
- Extract the zipfile into the Mods folder where your installation of Civ
IV resides. For me it is: C:\Program Files\ Firaxis Games\ Sid Meierīs
Civilization 4\Mods.
- Start the game as usual
- Click on advanced
- Click on load mod
- Click on Marathon Improved
- Click load and then answer yes on the question
- Wait a while. Now Civ IV restarts and you should see a text in the upper
right corner indicating that you are running a mod.
- Start a new game as usual!
What I have changed:
- Avaliable map options: now you can also play on a GIGANTIC map which is
2.25 times as large as "HUGE" with 15 civs or Mega map which is 1.5 times as big as "HUGE" with 13 civs.
- Two gamespeed settings: one and two. Both have marathon science + turns. The first one has normal production and growth, while the latter have faster than normal production and growth. Just hoover the options ingame to see help.
Notice:
Gigantic map requires a lot of RAM! Please make sure you have at least 1GB - 2GB RAM!
