so they're more like cue/bin?

They're similar to cue/bin files then? People use .mds/.mdf to make what they call a mini image right? So procedurally you mount the .mdf with daemon tools and/or burn with alcohol 120%, install. Is that correct so far? This is the part I don't get do I now mount the .mds and play? I've heard people say they save space on your hard drive how is that? Basically I bought Civ 4 and there's no fixed exe/no cd crack so I thought I'd try to use a mini image.

There are MiniImages & MaxiImages.
For CIVILIZATION 4 there is only the possibility to play it with an MaxiImage (~2 GByte).
To let the image not take away so much space on your hd, people turn on WindowsCompression (Properties of the file) so it only use 1 MByte on your HD.

...oh and bin/cue are not the same as mdf/mds.
Because in MDF-file are mor informations about the cd/dvd (important for the copy protection !!!).
