Can you provide a bit more description? What happens prioir to the crash? Are you getting any error messages etc? Does it crash to the desktop, or simply freeze?

Given your question in the other thread, it might be a patch issue. In the original Civ3, patches fixed some mid to end-game issues (eg air intercepts causing crashes etc IIRC).

Does it crash if you start a new game?

its when the computer makes its moves ,so i cannot pin point what triggers the crash,i dont have any mods ,ive just the bigger map and i edited the roman legions to build citys

Well, it might be something caused by that mod. Can you post a save file, and I'll try to replicate it (just let me know civ version and patch version etc)

That zip file is corrupted. Use the upload file (javascript:openupload()) thing at the bottom of the page to upload your file to the server, and post the link to it.

If it really is 8 MB, then I won't be able to check it until nbext week (dial-up at home) :(

i think the problems gone ,

i erased my copy of civ3 which was from a friend

i had to buy a new copy from the shop ,put the update 1.27f and then tryed to load my saved game.
tense times.
but yes it works so far but its very slow ,ive played a few turns and its still fine,even past the point where the saved game crashed before.
i know its early days but its looking good.

thanks everyone yet again...
