I've just updated to macOS 10.14, with some trepidation, given the above. Can confirm Civ III still runs as well as before - still needs to be in a window, and still won't let you play hottest or initiate a PBEM game (though if someone starts a PBEM game on a PC you can still play). It is...

Evidently not many playing PBEM Civ III on Mac - including myself. 6 years since I last tried this, but thought I’d try again yesterday and encountered the same problem again. Has humanity managed to solve this problem in the intervening time? :)

A sad job, but a necessary one... Called to see patient to confirm death: No response to voice or painful stimuli Pupils fixed and dilated; not responding to light No central (carotid) pulse for 60 seconds No heart sounds for 60 seconds No breath sounds for 60 seconds Death confirmed at 19:40...

I would like to continue as long as there are others still keen. I'm really sorry to see folk go, but I can totally understand why too. I'm sorry I have often over-run my 48 hour window; unfortunately, this is about the only multiplayer gaming I can fit into my work schedule (1 turn a...

Sorry guys, I've been really busy with work - I played the turn and sent it to Britain a while back, but Tom asked me to skip Britain and send it to Turkey back on 14/4/16. Juries, have you had a chance to play or shall I forward it on? I've attached the save in case anyone wants to take...

GPS to Juriel/Britain Portugal supports France's efforts to subdue the rogue Spanish city of Santander, risking the lives of several battalions of Portuguese cavalry. Unfortunately, despite the exemplary efforts of our troops (including the decoration of the war hero, Anîbal Milhais), the city...

Week 29, 1900 - GPS to Britain/Juriel (apologies for the delay - I was on a course in Durban and couldn't use the other half's laptop) Portugal Spanish steam transport sunk off Canary Islands. Pacification of Madrid continues but troops are unable to safely enter the city for peace-keeping...

Sorry guys, having some technical issues this turn. My laptop got stolen and I have managed to get AoI up and running on my girlfriend's computer; I've managed to play Portugal's turn but for some reason Italy keeps crashing. Maybe it's time for Italy to finally be left to die its long-drawn-out...

Thanks for keeping this available! My laptop got stolen, so I am (sneakily) installing Civ3 + favourite mods on my girlfriend's computer when she isn't looking. Managed to get the scenario file, but looks like the website hosting the music file (3ddownloads.com) isn't available any more - is the...

GPS replay of Week 21, 1900 to Juriel/Britain I've tried to improve my battle report-keeping, based on Bengal Tiger's example Portugal The Portuguese continue their peace-keeping operations in Spain. Off Lisbon: 2/2 Portuguese No. 2 Torpedo Boat vs 3/3 Spanish CA -> 2/3 Spanish CA 2/2...

Lanzelot - I think on the whole it would be safe to assume that invading another (human) player may have repercussions - announcing prior to invasion might limit that fallout, but obviously spoil the element of surprise. I don't think Italy and Britain have actually signed an in-game MPP, but...

GPS to Juriel/Britain Portugal The Portuguese continue their peace-keeping operations in Spain. No. 3 Torpedo Boat off Lisbon red-lined sinking Spanish CA No. 2 TB off Lisbon uninjured sinking Spanish CA Krupp Mountain Gun Batteries outside Madrid bombard Spanish cavalry outside Porto...

Has anyone else had any experience of running Civ 3 on El Capitan? Thinking about upgrading from Yosemite - every upgrade I'm sure will be the last for Civ 3, but it seemed to manage Yosemite fine.

GPS to Juriel/Britain War! Portugal declares war on Spain After too long sitting idly by watching our neighbour fall into disarray under a succession of failed governments, Portugal has taken steps to ensure law and order is maintained in Spain. With the backing of other countries in the...

Apologies for the delay - back on the road, 24 hours of flights tomorrow to New Zealand. I tried to play the turn today and it won't accept my usual password. Does anyone know why? Does this mean someone else has changed it, or have I just corrupted the file? Tigranes, could you try sending it...
