[Slick]

Ok, stupid question time:

#1) I'm downloading CB mod 1.4a. Do I need any other mods, like Imagemod and version? I have installed a kinda old Imagemod, not sure what version

edit: I'm getting an error on the Imagemod server. Unable to download 1.4a

edit2: nevermind, it's working now.

#2) anything special I need to know about creating an empire?
#3) What anything special I need to do before joining the game?
