hmm, you're right, it worked the first time though...... strange....
EDIT: the cursor flc acts strange to say the least. I changed the .ini to say "copy of cursor.flc" which is the standard white cursor, yet the blue one (cursor.flc) still appears. So I tried removing cursor.flc from the file, and civ crashes.....
Even more strange, I tested it with the English, and it was orange, the first time........ but the rest of the times it was blue......
