I have the GOG Gold version I don't see anywhere to download anything after v 2.2 I downloaded 2.2 unpacked it into the folder (created as specified) There is no .bat in the archive to move and launch the mod that I can find - where is it? Where can I get later iterations? (I have no plans on buying a 4th copy of this game, I've bought it twice retail and once on GOG)

Just had some issues getting this working on steam, looks like the 'Mods (Default)" directory isn't working wit the steam Launch Options (Kept sending me to original FoC) - had to rename the directory to 'Mods" for it to work i.e. my end mod path is: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Star Wars Empire at War\corruption\Mods\Imperial_Civil_War225
Just in case anyone else is having similar problems.
This is for ICW235 (I know directory says 225, but the download was for 235 so I assume the folder structure version wasn't incremented).
So I downloaded the mod and did everything the video said (Im using a GOG game), then checked to make sure that everything looked like it did in the video. It did. When I double clicked the .bat, it gave me the following error: "Unable to locate the installation path of Star Wars Empire at War. Cannot run the Forces of Corruption expansion." The same error popped up when I then tried to run FOC normally. I tried a few fixes, none of them worked, so I just reinstalled the games and now they work fine, but I dont have the mod. I wanna try again; does anyone know what might have gone wrong?
Very Nice Corey! It makes mine look like a Child's Manuel, but hey, I'm not complaining! I should Probably add an extension to here in case people still need help, anyways, Thanks again for trying to help me way back when!
We recommend using the Steam Workshop copy of the mod for Steam ( https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1125571106 ): Step 1: click subscribe.

To install it using the downloadable copy:
Right click the ICW22.zip and select "extract here" Place the mod into C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Star Wars Empire at War\corruption\Mods (Default)
To play the mod via Steam: -Open Steam and go to Empire at War, right click and select Properties. -Click Launch Options and add sweaw MODPATH=Mods\Imperial_Civil_War -Close Properties and click Play, selecting Forces of Corruption. -To play the original game just reverse the second set of steps and remove MODPATH=Mods\Imperial_Civil_War22 from the Launch Options.

COMMON PROBLEMS:
1. If you experience crashing on Startup/Perception Failure error/crashing on Starting a GC: This is generally caused by another mod's AI files being installed to the Data folder for the base game, which interferes with all other mods, sometimes causing crashing. To resolve this, go into your corruption\Data\XML folder and delete the folders named AI and Enum if they exist.
2. Trying to launch the mod only launches the base game This most commonly happens if it was extracted improperly and an extra folder got added in between the real folders, ie you end up with: Mods\Imperial_Civil_War22\Imperial_Civil_War22\Data In this case, remove the extra Imperial_Civil_War22 folder from the path.
Planets are flashing Red and I Can't Move to Them This is not a bug - some planets, specifically the Transitory Mists and the Hapans within them, the Duskhan League planets around N'zoth, and Byss and the Maw, are all locked until you reach a certain point in the game. While the graphical effect is annoying, it appears to be an un-editable one from the base game.
