Civ3 not responding....help!

Just reached the modern era, all is well, sitting comfortably with as the Chinese when boom!!

The game goes into a busy mode, and nothing happens... nothing at all...

On pressing ctrl alt del it tells me that civ3 is not responding and so eventually i have to exit the game... on reloading and retrying the same thing happens, arrrgh

Attached is the saved game, can anyone offer any help...

If not, then the developers need to seriously look into this...

Thanks in advance

Were you using any sort of mod?

If there was a unit added in a mad, but some of the files are missing, the game will crash when you or one of the AI civs tries to build that unit.

I downloaded your saved game and tried it (on a couple different machines and versions). The game continued normally when I ended the turn. I played it until I reached the Modern Era and the game ran normally. It does take a long time for the AI to complete it's turns so it might be that you are just not waiting long enough.

As a side note, Windows® will often claim that Civ3 is "not responding" because when it is busy, it does not process messages from the operating system. This is normal.
