While working on a standard Civ2 scenario, I noticed that in my undeveloped cities, there are a lot of "pirate" people. What exactly do they denote? Red obviously indicates unhappy people; thus I would assume that these indicate some higher state of rebellion. They still seem to bring in...

Sent a long reply back to AlanH. That situation is resolved. C. Bob

It's been over a year since I last logged in here, and a good while, relatively speaking, since I've played Civilization III (Complete). Not too long ago, I decided to experiment with some modifications, to put more of an edge into the standard game. After looking through them, I decided upon...

1. Lal The old world's new champion. Lal's philosophies, post-implementation, are most likely to be similar to what we already have. While it isn't always efficient, it's ethical enough, and it gets the job done in the end. 2. Deirdre Their ecological goals, while perhaps a tad extreme, aren't...

Well, I messed around a bit. The problem is that I don't think those things actually have anything to do with the color palette as in GC, so. I gave up on converting straight BMP to PICT, and tried porting it to a GIF. But it always messed up. I couldn't get it compressed 1:14 -- it was...

Aye, I am. Probably so. There was something that talked about converting GIFs to PICTs on Apolyton, and presumably it'd be good either way. I'll look into it when possible. As far as the template -- sorry, I was trying to come up with another word for palette (too diverse speech), and...

Ah, thanks for the swift reply. I need to convert them to old-style .PICT files. The real problem is that Civ2 apparently has some weird color palette, at least on the Mac end. So you can convert it, but unless you do it just right, it'll come out all weird when you put it in Civ. That's...

For quite a while, I've been playing a Macintosh version of Civilization II Gold. It's proven adequate with most scenarios, with one notable exception. I'm always dismayed when I note that a scenario I download has .BMP files -- because I have no way to convert them! Civ2 is horribly picky...

Greetings, I got my copy of Civilization III: Complete yesterday. Naturally, this was an exciting thing. I've played this for two days-counting today-and while the game works fine, for the most part, I have one minor question. Is there an editor of any kind for Civ3 available in this...

To be honest, I never really wanted to do the succession games-the whole "Mac/PC" compatability issue, merged with the need to start up in OS 9, kinda got in the way of things. However, for the glory of the game, I'll take the position provided to me next time it comes around, and play it...

Comrades, I am afraid that I must withdraw from this glorious game, one of the reasons being due to lack of time, and additional unworthiness/fitness- d00m is a far superior commander, and should pick up well. I made numerous mistakes, such as failing to uphold even the most basic of succession...

I suppose I'll get to it, soon. Just a bit. -Bob

Well, I know what we could do to claim a moral victory. After we've built up the sandbags on our remaining worlds and fortified up, let's try to make sure the Silicoids win Council victory. Being in part of a New Republic we can minister to is better than going extinct. -Bob

Sorry for the triple-post here, but it doesn't look at though the Edit button works. It looks like I messed the 10-turn bit up-well, I don't think it would have made a drastic difference in this case. The Meklars are out for blood. Sorry, though. :-\ -Bob

2380: The glorious Consul Bob becomes Emperor of the New Regime, after the retirement of Empress Moon The new Avenger craft, which comes with a laser cannon and two missile racks, is designed. Damage control is standing by-the Meklars have a fleet of doom stationed at Tao, which is basically...
