Have some nice conquest dreams !

I downloaded the files, but they're not organized into folders on WinZip. Do I have to insert each file manually, or is there a quicker way to do this?

I think you'e not using the Extract buton on Winzip but you're doing a drag & drop to uncompress files...

I played your beta 2 version and was waiting for beta 3. And it only took me 8 minutes to download, i love my cable modem.

Very well done

Cheers Thorgrimm

UPDATE to BETA 3.1 is AVALAIBLE on the first post of this thread.


I recommand you all to download and install it, because it fix a bug who crash the game.

BTW it has some new pretty interesting features too

Got it thanks for the heads up!!!

and very good mod!

Ok I guess I'm being thick again when it comes to these mods, but every time I try and load the mod after upgrading to 3.1 all I get now is

"file not found"

"art\tech chooser\Icons\elevage-small.pcx"

Then it crashes

I guess I'm dumb but I dunno the intricacies of Civ3 modding, I just want to play! Anyone help out?

Just a little message to let you know that I've begun to Mod the Beta 4 wich is for C3Conquest...

20min d/l time (on broadband)!!!!!!!!!!

Looks like a damn fine piece of work mate, and u've even fixed the science advisor on the tech-tree screen, impressive, most impressive

THXS !

Beta 4 for C3C is under way, and it will now soon be available with a lot of new units/features.

Why game run slow under that mod, or atlist slower than normal.

Is it normal or i mest up some thing?
