    static void Main (String [ ] args)

    I just can't find it in the source files. Either my search function is borked, or the CvGameCoreDLL project doesn't have this line. If not, where does the program begin execution? Thanks in advance ... hopeless noob.:confused:

    Leader/civ matching and Pericles, wth?

    Currently playing a game with leaders free to lead any civ, but I am finding in the diplomacy window, its impossible to figure out who is heading up what civilization. For instance, I'm trying to negotiate with the Maya, but the Mayan Leader is head of the Chinese and Winston Churchill is head...

    [BTS] 'Name' Command

    Er, been a while since I played. Can anyone remind me what was the command to plant a "sign" on your land to name it? Or to remind yourself where you want to put a city? Thanks, cant find it in the guide.:scan:

    How to add a new unit xml tag

    Does anyone know how to add a new unit tag in the xml files that will be recognized by the game? For instance, if you want to add a new unit ability and want to be able to specify whether each unit has it or not. What are the steps to implement this? Dale was able to do this in his combat...

    Initial movie horizontal hold

    Everytime I start Civ III, the initial movie that is supposed to play is unclear. The screen looks like it has a horizontal hold problem like an old TV. I know how to disable the movie so it won't play at the beginning of the game, but why should I do this? I want the movie to work. Is this...

    Dark Sheer Question

    Dark Sheer, with the new patch 1.21f, which allows you to add "unlimited resources" (so we are told), are you still getting the crash with the 9th luxury resources when you look at the "City View"? It would be nice to know if it has been fixed.

    Nice Mines

    Continuing a discussion from Apolyton, let face it Mines are ugly and mining grassland makes your territory look like a disaster area. So I have switched the graphic to look like a city suburb instead of a mine (which makes more sense anyway than "mining" grassland). Here's a screenshot.

    Predeteremined battle outcomes

    I noticed that all the battles in Civ III seem to have predetermined outcomes! What does that mean? Try this: Save the game during a battle Load the saved game Play a turn and engage in a battle with your opponent Look at the results: (hypothetical) unit x was killed, unit y has...

    Precision Bombing still a problem

    Has Precision Bombing been fixed in v. 1.17f? I still can't seem to get it to work and I noticed that someone (sorry, forget who) made available a 2-page list of commands for CIV3 and Precision Bombing wasn't listed (although it is "P" in the civ-o-pedia). Am I to understand it is still...

    Solution to "colony" civs

    In a few places several people has been interested in finding a way to implement in the game the creation of "colony" civilizations, such as America, Australia, most of South America, and the *stans in central asia. There's a fairly simple way to implement this: In Civ III when you found new...

    Add a City to a map!

    Anybody figure out how to add a "city" to a map, instead of just a start position? This was possible in cheat mode in Civ II, but seems to be missing from Civ III. Perhaps Firaxis want me to buy an updated version that allows this, later? Hmm, now that might be a way they would make more...

    buildings-large.pcx

    Has anyone successfully added an image to "buildings-large.pcx" and had it appear in the game? I have tinkered a little, but with no results. Is anyone aware of any limitations here?

    Right of Passage

    Does the right of passage expire after a certain time, or do you have to go to war with the group you gave this to? I have tried to go back and remove the right of passage from my active agreements, but I cannot (I don't know how much time has elapsed since I concluded it). There's nothing...

    Sentry

    What happened to the "sentry" function? My units don't wake-up when someone stumbles by. If I get up for a coke while the computer grinds away. I have no idea a barbarian is knocking on my door!

    Can't stay centered

    An annoyance I noticed is that there is no apparant equivalent to the "V" command in Civ 2. If I active several units in a city to upgrade them (say there are 5), as soon as they are activated the game "rack focuses" to some far corner of the world. Then when I return to the city and click...

    Zoc?

    What's going on with the Zone of Control (ZOC)? I know not all units have one, but even my cavalry don't seem to have one. Example: a line of mountains separating my land from the greeks. Built several fortress on the mountain tops and placed cavalry, riflemen and cannons in them (3 in...

    Harvesting forest

    Something strange I noticed. When I automate my workers (which is often, except for a few). They always seem to bee-line for the forests and chop them down! I have engineering, so they could replant if they wanted to, but they never do. What is strange is that I tried setting the governors to...
