Is it possible to convert a scenario from CIV3 (*.biq) format to CIV4 and then modify it to work with CIV$ or would I have to start over to make it a CIV4 scenario???

I'm going to venture a guess and say that you'll need to start over.

...CIV$

This is a really nice typo. :thumbsup: :goodjob:
I hope I´m allowed to use it in some discussions about Civ 4.
