I'm new to creating/editing scenarios. First one worked fine. Next one locks up the computer as soon as I try to build the very first city.

The map was generated by the editor; I've changed very little except resources and starting player locations. Minor rule changes. Nothing different from my first attempt, but this one won't work.

Any ideas or suggestion appreciated!!!

Did you change the name of any units? If you did, you'll also need to change the name of the appropriate folder and .ini file in the units folder under Art. Hope that helps.

In particular, using the "Add" button in the hacked editor to add units will cause the crash-on-build error, as quite a bit of effort is necessary to get all the pieces in place. Gramphos' Civ3 CopyTool (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=7787), on the other hand, sets everything up for you, creating non-crashing units which can then be tailored to your tastes.
