Thanks for the quick update, and that awesome article.

Ok, here is the save file. I don't know if the dead civ had any tech i have not researched yet though. The save is from the turn after i finished researching Alphabet, so there is an overflow in beakers from last turn. By the way, i found amusing that the tip i received when loading that...

Yes, that's about what i did, and as you, i do not think it is worth doing it outside of a test. Too much calculations for such a small piece of information.

I just looked at such a save, where i am in 1270AD, after a long war while isolated on a small island with one other civ. That civ is destroyed, and i met Victoria recently. Setting is Monarch, standard size, normal speed, 7 civs. Everything seems to go as Requies said: for exemple, i skipped...

Open, diplo Playing without risk, i stayed on my island during the whole game, and never engaged in a single war, except through the use of privateers. I entered the IA with quite a tech advance on the other civs, only to notice that Maya were the only ones with coal...and they were probably...

Interesting, i never saw the AI using privateer. But i guess that, indeed, it is usually pretty easy to see where they come from.

open-diplo Entering the MA with the Persian and Greek, i set immediately research towards Education. I was counting on some help in the tech pace from Xerxes and Alexander, but only the latter was somewhat useful. Indeed, MA will be a time for AI wars...Xerxes declares on Alexander, and is...

Open, diplomacy Well, this is my first XOTM, and eventually my first victory at emperor level, so i played without taking much risk: main aim was to avoid wars and keep any AI from becoming a superpower. Expansion Entremont is founded in 4000BC, and start a warrior, while the worker...

That's what i first tried, and gave me this error message. Well, it is not that much of a problem. If necessary, i'll install the mod for Civ3-vanilla, and play the GOTMs without PTW. Anyway, i play nearly only conquest now (which is why i never checked before how to launch PTW...). Thanks...

I did not have PTW before C3C. And when installing C3C, i did not ask for a shortcut in "all program". So, I tried to launch it from the exe file in Civ3/Civ3PTW. Strangely though, i have no exe file called "civPTW", only the Civedit, and one called Civilization3X (that i thought would be the...

I recently tried to launch the PTW expansion, in order to play the last GOTM, and thought it was included in my C3C. But when i tried to launch PTW, i received only a "Insert the PTW CD" warning (wether i use the C3C or the Civ3 CD, i get the same result). Has anyone experienced a similar problem?
