If you have conquests and you don't want to backup and copy over your
existing files you can do the following:
1 Create a folder in your "..\conquests\scenarios" folder call it whatever
you want.
2 Follow instructions for installing the graphics, but put them into the
folder you created. You may have to manually place them for some graphics
packs.
3 Go to the editor
4 Go to Scenario:Scenario Properties and where it asks for a search folder
type in "..\scenarios\"whatever you named your folder""
5 If you want to have random maps and not change anything else about the
game Save As and give it a name you'll remember.
6 Run Conquests go to civ-content and pick out your new file. The game will
play just like the out of the box games, but with the new graphics.
If you need to manually install the graphics files, look at the directory
structure of CivIII, PTW and C3C. That same directory structure (if
everything were changed for a mod) would be in your new folder. For
graphics purposes only those folders pertaining to those files need be used.
Only the new graphics files need be put into your new scenario folder.
Everything else will be called up from the standard game folders.
