Activation
To activate this mod, first click the "Subscribe" button above.

From the Main Menu of Civ 5, click on "Mods."

Wait for about a minute. The game needs some time to load and update your mod list.

Once your mods have loaded, find "Iconian's Fantastic Ancients" in the list and click the "Enable" button.

Click Accept, wait for the game to load up the mod, then start a new game.




Runtime Error
A few times during testing I received an error something like this:

"Runtime Error! ...... DX11.exe
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information."


This occurred while I was trying to load my game. If it happens for you then you may want to check out this thread for help: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/app/8930/discussions/0/620695877193969064/

These were the most important points for me:

1. If you start a game with some mods enabled, save the game and exit, and then try to reload the game later, always load your save by first going into the Mods menu, activating the mods that you used in the saved game, and then loading the game. Don't try loading straight from the Main Menu.

2. Once you've started a game with some mods enabled, do not make any updates to any of the mods--not until you're done with your game.

3. Set your autosaves to save every 1 or 2 turns in the Options.

These pieces of advice should hopefully greatly improve your chances of getting all the way through a game with your chosen mods.
