Help with installing custom factions

Posted on Friday, May 22, 2015

Hi, 

I am having difficulty getting custom factions to show in my game. I am downloading some factions from the contest : 

https://www.galciv3.com/factiondesigncontest/finalists

I d/l them and extract them to /documents/my games/galciv 3/mods 

I go into the game and start new game and I only have options for the official customs, both as player and as opponents. 

 

What am I missing to make custom factions work ? - Sorry if I am missing something obvious but I have googled and search a number of times about installing custom factions and i just keep getting directed back to the journals on modding. 

 

Is there something in game that I have to alter to change the number of AI opponents ? - I see all these posts about people starting games with several 10's of factions yet I am stuck at a base level. 

Many thanks for any help.
