I'm sure Quintillus will manage to find/fix any problems getting civilisation colours changed in his editor but, for now at least, I can do that with a saved game file, should anyone care to request it. I'm thinking of speed here so just until Quintillus has replied explaining, either how to get...

Just to be clear, though obviously I do love Civ III, it isn't even the reasons that are important. I have some similar and others different. It's that we all treasure different things so the games we like to play necessarily vary. I would feel just as foolish trying to tell anybody that Civ...

It's not like we really care much about what particular reasons you have for preferring other games over (our favourite) Civ III. That would be to deny your freedom of choice, as well as to imply that such a thing is remotely absolute. I suspect the reasons I love Civ III would tumble over you...

That makes good sense. Why would the finishing of a timer be of any interest ;-)

No silly! I doubt you'd be disappointed watching the film and getting the full back-story ;-) PS. Do you have a completed delay or do you wander round in time?

Yes & no. Some info is there from the original BIQ but in most cases where it is held it's in a slightly different format. Some of which I know about and others not so much :-( Well, I searched for where I'd got that snippet of info from & couldn't find anything. I then went to my latest...

That all makes good sense Quintillus. I don't use scenarios myself but I do often start with an early saved game. Is it possible to set up scenarios with existing populated cities? I would assume so - with as much caution involved as with any assumption of course. If it is, then I would...

I need to be careful here as the BIQ file and the Save Game files (which I have some understanding of and information for) are different animals so may not behave the same way. So, I'll simply say what I know about the Save Game and you can confirm or deny how much similarity there is in the...

Bear in mind I was unaware even of the existence of this factor until you just introduced it to me. That said, I would assume it's somewhere within the difficulty level {DIFF}, or maybe even the Government {GOVT}, section. If you can give me an offset (and the relevant section obviously) I can...

Great post by tjs282. I will respond to each of many points you make. I may argue some of them, but always with respect for your obvious knowledge of the subject. My comment is based on the text from the Civilopaedia. I had to copy it from the file as it didn't allow copying from the screen...

Indeed so. My list was focused on just those items relevant to the earlier post of unartis though, which was about nationalities of citizens. Only Settlers and Workers can be added into the populations of cities. I can't say that without there being a possibility of someone interpreting it as...

That's a question I've worked on myself long and hard. Not within the confines of this fine editor I should add. I was unable to determine how that could be done so eventually gave up. I guess that means I will be following this discussion in case Quintillus can share anything to help in that...

Great to hear that Ha Luu :-)

Hi Haluu. If you're having difficulties with de-compression of a saved game file then there are two things that may help - on top of what Quintillus has already shared : End-of-turn AutoSave files are not compressed. The end-of-turn save is not always appropriate to use however, for various...

I have a save game editor that you may want to play with Ares. It can be found at [C3C] Adrain's Save Game Editor. I hope I'm not hijacking here. I'm not absolutely sure what you're after but the tool is more focused on the Save Game than this so I hope I'm not treading on any toes by linking...
