I am really sorry, but I must be a big dunce.
I downloaded the contest factions and read all the info on how to install them and I must still be doing something wrong with the factions that are mods. So basically I need to know how to install a mod.
When I have the faction. lets say the Orphical Faction Mod, it is just a single folder with the subfolder [Game] and a bunch of xml files.
Do I put the folder [OrphicalFactionMod] in my Mod directory and do nothing else?
Do I put the folder [OrphicalFactionMod] in my Mod directory in the subfolder Factions?
Do I put the xml files from the [OrphicalFactionMod] in the Mod directory in the subfolder Game?
When I start GalCiv 3 do I need to do anything to bring the mods up or will they automatically be there?
