I just noticed the following Java thingy popping up on the forum pages: <!-- START RedSheriff Customer Intelligence V4 - Java v1.1 Revision: 1.8 --> <!-- COPYRIGHT 2002 Red Sheriff Limited --> <script language="JavaScript"><!-- var pCid="us_us-ugo_network-telefragged"; var w0=1; var...

I'm trying to understand pollution and global warming. I think I have the basics down, but would appreciate any help. I have done only a cursory look for previous threads on this since search is currently disabled, and if you happen to have a link or two on this, that'd be much appreciated as...

No idea if this has been covered before with the search down, but I did a little poking around tonight and found the proper links to use within the civilopedia to get to the different menu pages. They definitely work in PTW 1.21f and I expect they work in any version but I haven't actually...

Does anyone have any recommendations for a good Palette Editor other than the PEdit that Kinboat posted? PEdit has a nasty habit of completely locking my computer which really limits its usefulness to me. Something similar in functionality but more stable is what I'm after ;)

I'm curious if anyone has done any extensive testing on coastal fortresses. They seem to have 3 characteristics: - A "Naval Power" of strength 8 which supposedly will take pot-shots at enemy boats much like a unit with a Zone of Control. - A "Naval Bombard Defense" of 8 which should (I...

I've been helping gael convert some graphics he's created into leaderhead animations for Civ3 and posting the finished product in the Graphics Modpack Forum. The original post was made almost a month ago and he recently asked me if I could change the title from "Atlantic Archipelago Static...

I noticed something odd when using colored text. I was originally posting this in Site Feedback as a Forum bug, but while previewing my post, I realized the mistake was not the board's but mine and/or my browser's; as it was still weird and could be something for others to watch out for when...

Is their any key saying which tile in the terrain graphics files goes where? In some transition files like xdgc.pcx it's fairly clear where each tile will be used, but in more subtle transitions like wCSO.pcx it's more difficult to see. Do all 3-way transition files use the same layout? I...

Quoting part of the Civ1 FAQ, version 3 of CivDOS 'Added "very unhappy people."' Has anyone seen these or do you know what circumstances would be the best to cause them? I tried editing a saved game I had (in version 5) and making every unit (under democracy with no suffrage) belong to a city...

So, I was poking around the Infogrames Support Website for civ3 today and happened upon their Civilization III Hints and Tips Page. I figured it might be good for a laugh, but I didn't expect it to be this good: So, uhh, exactly what are they drinking up there at Infogrames and where can I get...

Anyone ever create a custom intro movie to replace Intro.bik / x_intro.bik? I was wondering how much freedom you have with regards to size, number of frames, etc...

Here's a simple early naval unit created for Clam I Am's Pacific Islands Mod based on an image supplied by Clam I Am. It's my first completed original unit and has some room for improvement, but I'm pretty pleased with the outcome. Some known limitations are the lack of splash effects which I...

Since I am planning on continuing Matrix's work on a civ1 graphic mod for civ3, I figured I'd take a shot in the dark and ask this question here. The folks in Civ3 C&C surely won't know ;) Does anyone know how to extract the graphics and sounds from civ1 (DOS) in order to convert them to...

For those who don't know, Matrix was toying with the idea of a Civ1 graphic mod a while back but abandoned it after doing the terrain. After his recent joke screenshot in the GD forum, I'm seriously considering continuing it. I don't know if I'd actually use such a mod, but I just think it'd be...

This thread is for the static leaderheads being created for King Arthur's North Atlantic Archipelago Scenario which is a continuation of gael's Atlantic Archipelago Scenario Please note that although they were originally created for these scenarios, they are being posted here so that anyone who...

After a request by aaglo, I have modified TVA22's excellent junk unit by colorizing the sails in civ-specific colors. Download the zip (1.5MB) Here are composite previews of the 5 FLCs in the 5 different included styles, each in 8 civ colors. Some of the previews are a bit truncated due to...

A question just struck me today. When you create a custom-sized map in the editor, how is the tech rate determined and can it be adjusted later?

On the search page, it says this under the box for search terms: My question is, does the asterisk actually work? Every time I've tried it I get "no match" even on such queries as "shadow*" (when "shadow" or "shadows" will both return matches.) So am I a blithering incompetent or can we not...

I created a small graphic mod to use with the Double Your Pleasure Mod, but since it isn't necessarily DyP-specific, I decided to package it nicely and post it here. Essentially, it contains several choices to change the arrows on the city view screen to make them less obtrusive. Download...

Has there been a list of whose work was included on the PTW disk in the Scenarios Folder? The Readme says, rather unhelpfully, "NOTE: Play the World includes numerous fan created scenarios. These are provided 'as-in' [sic] and you should contact the creators for any problems or questions you...
