Yeah, well, something screwed it up, and sence the problems were all realted to CIV 3, and the buggy entries were all related to CIV 3, it was something CIV 3 related. I managed to get everything fixed now, thanks to a little time cleaning and fixing my registry entries. It also fixed all my...

Its something designed so if the program has a problem that it'll spit some text at the user letting them know there is an issue, so they can correct it. The text file lets the program know what to say in case of an error.

Actually, if you look at all the civs chosed for the games, you'll notice that they all share a single thing, they all achieved some state of "empire" in their history. They each became powerful, and for some period of time could have run rampent in their neck of the woods. If being judged as...

The fact that you think catapults are too weak hurts you in attacking citys w/ swordsmen (or legionaries). You need a few catapults, and some patience. Also, when you say "i finished india off with tons of spearmen and horsemen" Your not actually atacking with the spearmen right?

Were the isrealites ever the dominant group of their area? Most of the cives in CIVIII are groups that dominated for some point in history. Did the isrealites ever do this? Most of my recolection of their history is that they always seemed to be a step behind in technolgy, and were (and still...

I agree, people who dont by the game shouldnt start *****ing about "faulty patches" and other BS when 95% of the time its the fault of the fact they were too cheap to by the game in the first place.

I'm like 99% sure at this point that the 1.04 patch screwed up my registry when it crashed my OS. It would really explain a great many things.

Its more or less based on this. The main issues are: Your connection to the server The servers connection to the outside world And the same issues for who your connecting to. Modems tend to add a lot of latency to your connection, espcially the big ISP's like AOL. About the only way...

Whats wrong with the current battle system? If your attack gets fouled up because you lose a tank or two by chance, then it wasnt a good attack, and you should be punished for it. If your are attacking units that are sitting in good position without doing something to soften then up, then...

Your takeing medicore to awful attackers and going after a unit that has: 1) A defence of 2 2) The bonus for being in a capital 3) 5 HP's And you arnt using artillery. Spearmen alone are a match for your horsemen, throw in the other two and your swordsmen are dead too. BTW, when...

"Fixed crash with advisor screens." OR "Please insert the CIVILIZATION III: Play the World Disk." Boy, the choices I have to make. It doesnt seem to like SCSI interfaces, anyone else having this problem? Editor still refuses to believe I have the game installed. Patch exe crashed...

You dont understand what "culturally linked starting locations" does. It makes it so civs that were near each other historicly will be near each other in real live. Examples? Germany - England - France Roman - Greek - Persian There may be more civs in the group, but thats the jist of what...

This may seem logical, but its wrong. As a general rule, there are two kinds of soldiers. Those who know how to survive, and those who dont. The first battle tends to weed out the second group quite a bit. The most vivid example of this are the figher piolets of WWII. There tended to be two...

Just because they dont mean the same thing does not automaticly means that they dont overlap. But the only term that I am aware of that includes Purto Rico, Guam, American Samoia(sp?) the US virgin Islands, and any US military bases w/out adding anything else would be protectorate.

None of those mean the same thing as protectorate.

The reason you can not order it is most likely because according to Amazon.com its not avaible in europe (Nov 22nd for the UK) until after it is avaible in the US (Oct 29th). There is generally a big fine involved for shiping software before the releace date. What term would you prefer they use?

It might not have been such a close call if you wern't building so many ICBM's.

When at the main screen can you select the unit while it is in the city than use the (U)pgrade option?

Well this is how I always understood it: Battleship defines the large capital ships designed to kill the enemy with gunfire. EG(fictional): An battleship in 1908 might have had 4 12" guns, 8 6" guns and 8 4" guns. Dreadnaughts define a battleship whos primary weapons are all of the same...

This is backwords. Dreadnaughts were a class of ships that when devolped were almost three times as powerful as any other battleships in existance. Historicly battleships should upgrade to Dreadnaughts. Also, Destroyers have uses after you can build BB's. In particular escorting...
