OK, I am going to buy a new PC soon with Windows 8 installed. I bought Civilization 3 Complete on Steam.

The question is, does it work on Windows 8? Has anyone tried it before? Thanks!

:)
 
I can run it, but the screen resolution is all jacked up...any suggestions? (I'm running Windows 8 on a Surface Pro and running the Steam version).
 
I bought it online half a year ago (don't remember where) for my new laptop which does not have a CD drive anymore, it runs windows 8 and civ works fine.

@bartdanr: make sure the conquests.ini file contains this setting: KeepRes=1
 
What about patches? Where do I find the 1.22 civ conquest patch that will work with windows 8 - I am using the Civ III disc and the Civ Conquests disc - they loaded fine but are showing the 1.00 version. Never mind - I found it by searching 'Civ III (v1.22)'.
