Hi, I keep getting the following message (and Civ3 shutting down) when trying to start this scenario: ERROR READING FILE missing entry in "text/Pediaicons.txt": ICON_BLDG_Conquest_of_Mars I downloaded all the files and placed them in the scenario folder (keeping them in a "Vanilla...

That's an EXTREME solution!

Thanks Alan for your prompt answer! I think I'll go with a MacBook Duo as soon as my wife will finish off her G3 iBook (the HD has gone, the chassis is cracking: it shouldn't take long...) I'm not so worried about Civ4 as I'm still struggling with plain C3. At about 2 games per year, I'm...

First of all, since it's 11 (ELEVEN!) months since I last posted to this forum... Hello to everybody! :-) Now the question: I'm probably going to buy an Intel-based Mac in a few months and I'm currently still owning a plain-vanilla CivIII (no C3C or other such amenities...) Would this work...

Thanks, I know it was the 2000 edition but I heard it was quite flawed (in terms of RAM requirements and playability on the Mac) and so it had no sequels (differently from the Win version which is updates every year.) I was just hoping that some US guy would know about something not available...

I know, I know, I'm VERY OT! But I don't know where else to find advice from Mac users about this: Is there an American Football game playable on Mac's? If yes, what are the HW requirements. I used to have a very old one running on my LC but now I've OSX (or Classic). Thanks for...

Ehi! Don't blame me for your inaccuracy! I NEVER wash my car, in any day of the week! ;-)

I'm afraid a person like rmsharpe will never be convinced about the righteousness of certain kind of standings (e.g., something like being just or kind versus someone else). His mindset is that he (his country) has all the rights 'cause he/it's the strongest one. It's a very "pragmatic"...

Oh my! Further precious source of food for thought! "Meteorologists claim they're right 85% of the time." That exactly covers Monday to Saturday. Sunday is always wrong (usually rainy). "Your brain is 80% water." For somebody, the remaining 20% is sawdust. "Ketchup is excellent for...

Thanks Lord Draegon for this useful list, which prompts me a few important reminders: My wife will retain the right to peel onions as she likes chewing gum and I don't. Never spread my brain over my wife's ironing board 'cause she'll have no spare space to rest the iron. Never lead a...

Please explain. Honestly, I can't get the humour of it ???

Don't worry about that. The "benefits" of this war will go in the oil companies' pockets while ALL the citizens (being them pro or anti-war) will "democratically" pay the same prices.

Never being allowed to return? This means being drafted it is NOT optional if it brings other penalties.

I'd like to remind that a few years ago, during the Iran-Iraq war, Mr. Saddam was the pet of the Western world (not just USA, I admit) just because he was fighting the "evil" Iran (BTW, it was HE who attacked first, not Iran). He was therefore well supplied with western weapons (the very same...

Yes but why idealism is NEVER taken into consideration when we're considering bad guys who are our supporters/allies? And why idealism is ALWAYS given a big share of the motivation when we do something in our economic/political interest.

Unfortunately, it's not so simple. I mean, apart from all the phylosophic progress we had in the last 2000 years, men, deep inside, did not evolve so much. Look at how many people read and believe in horoscopes. Why? 'Cause they need an external direction, even if they'd never admit it. Look...

I'm fascinated by this kind of "what if" but I'm pretty sure they don't make sense. Fact is, it's no sense to say "the Romans" or "the Americans", 'cause tactics (and EVERYTHING else) change so quickly that you should state not only an era but maybe a single day! Examples: in the earliest...

No, I don't. I'm a (very moderate) fan of some athletes/teams (independently from their origins) because I like them 'cause they're the most talented or because they used to be the underdogs who won out of pure will, etc. Thanks so much for this reference! (I actually read Voltaire several...

Agreed. Only, this makes things even sadder, 'cause is not just a single man's mistake (expecially being his personal power limited in time by law)
