The BUG Project is a collaboration of
modifications for the computer game called Civilization
IV: Beyond
the Sword. The goal of the project is to combine
different components that will make playing Civilization IV:
Beyond the Sword more enjoyable, as well as more user friendly, without
altering any of the game mechanics. Not one part of the game
play has been altered. We welcome and encourage anyone who can find
where we have altered the way the game is played, or gives information
hidden from the player normally, to contact us and we will correct the
issue.
As always, if you are a mod designer,
and would like your mod added, or to include BUG in your own Mod,
please let us know. We believe in the free exchange of all code, so you
may include in your Mods. We just request you give us credit for our
additions, and to keep all references to The Bug Mod and the version
you used, within the code.
We highly recommend you install the Blue
Marble Terrain Mod. This Mod uses NASA's Blue Marble Program
to give the terrain of Civilization IV a more natural look. You should
install Blue Marble before you install one of The BUG Project mods
If you would like to be notified of
project updates, then please join our mailing list for New
Releases, and for SVN
Updates. We will not sell or share your information.
The BUG Mod makes many interface improvements, but will not
alter any unit, terrain, or city graphics. With a few
exceptions, The BUG Mod is customizable, and features can be disabled
or altered from within the game by just pressing Alt + Ctrl +
O.. This will allow you to customize BUG to fit your style!
The BAT Mod makes the game look as it should have when you
first purchased it. We have combined many graphical changes
into one mod, striving to give each Civilization its own look and feel.
