@kingstuart - sorry i forgot to turn off "debug mode" in the original upload. you have to go into the editor, open the biq, go into scenario properties, and uncheck debug mode. i've fixed this problem since then, but sorry for the hassle.
@arcknight - sounds like you got something wrong with the order, maybe kingstuart is right about stuff not being liked moved around. your best bet is to delete it and redownload it. when you unzip it make sure the extract path is c:\atari\(civilization III or whatever the sub folder is)\conquests\scenarios and nothing else after that. the folders and the biq should already be in order.
