Conquests Unofficial Data Patch Project
Idea:
There are slim chances that we are going to get new patch for C3C soon.
But unlike most critical bugs, there are some of those that can be easily fixed with a data patch done by community.
Data patch = patch that doesn't change the code of the game
Unofficial = in no way related to Atari or Firaxis
In this case, it's mostly changing text files that go with the game and fixing things like obvious civilopedia errors.
More serious bugs need changes in game code and they can't be done unofficially.
I was considering an option of modifying the BIQ files that go with the game (like removing offense AI flag from Musketeer), but since playing with those modified files would prohibit recording scores in Hall of Fame, I concluded it's best to leave them alone.
Install instructions:
Patch 1.22 for Conquests is required to make this work properly!
Contents of this zip file should be unzipped in your Civilization III\Conquests folder.
Since it replaces some original files I made a backup of replaced files in secondary zip. It should be unzipped in same way if you want to restore original files.
