Installing it again, what mod's are good to use with it?

The AU mod

Play the med scenario, then you can use my unit mods (and the scenario is very good too

)

Well, Kal-El's Double Your Pleasure mod is an absolute must. It really enriches the game drastically

It is finished, and it's present on PtW's CD. However, you may want to download it, since it has been updated, and because there are tons of new units there that aren't on the CD.

Some outstanding job is being done by the modding community, but is not completely finished yet.

BeBro is on the verge of finishing his X-Com Mod

NeOmega has published a beta version of his Pentagenesis mod.

And it seems the team working on a Lord of the Rings mod is advancing well as well (I don't think they published anything for now).

Procifica has also done an ambitious American Civil War scenario, which will likely be included in Conquests. I didn't try it yet, but it sounds like a great work and great quality.

But check out for BeBro's mod. The guys at CGN are betatesing it currently, so it should be out shortly

Edit: oh, and how could I forget my mod. Obviously, it has to be the best of all

(seriously, if you mod the game yourself, there are quite a few good ideas in there)

Also try, TETukhan's Test of Time.

And yeah, Procifica's Civil War scenario, and DYP. These are the only one's I've tried out. All 3 are excellent.

Am I the only one who found DYP totally appalling? Everything I liked about civ 3 was removed in that mod.

I would not say appalling, but I was not enamored with it either, there were too many units, missing icons (I know that they were removed, but even so it was still disappointing) and the point I hated the most having to research Irrigation and mining. Appalling? No. But I do believe that it had too many changes from CIV3 to be an enjoyable game.

The best Mod out there that most use is the AU mod although the bombardment values are left too low for my taste. However, it is a very servicable mod and very close to what I play with.
