Hi mozovisk, I'm afraid I don't have a solution, but having a similar problem and didn't want to start a new thread. In the last week (since a steam update) Civ 3 doesn't launch properly the first time. It does show up as an active process in task manager, so what I've been doing is killing...

I'll throw my hat in - cheers!

yep, I'll enter, please. Cheers!

Temples also generate gold for that holy city (advantage if you have the holy city). I also build multiple monasteries for the science bonus, which is cumulative. Especially useful in your 'science' city. E.g. city has 3 religions = 3 monasteries = 30% science boost.

I've got a problem downloading stuff from maps/ scenarios pages, etc because I don't know what username and password is required to download from 3d Downloads. I've used my fanatics info to no avail, and I can't see the members section or registering section from the 3d Downloads homepage - how...

Yep, I'm a newbie for GOTM too, but I think it will be useful for me to see how other people are tackling the same game. I'm not very experienced on the higher levels, my civs tend to be smaller and my patience wears thin with them. However the GOTM inspires me to at the very least finish the...

Hi guys I'm back again with another question. I'm making a fantasy scenario which is going pretty good apart from one aspect. I have a tribe called Gelfs and they have a specific tech: Gelf tech. With this tech comes Gelf warrior att 3/ def 1/ mov 1. However in the city change box it doesn't...

Hey Keyser, I can't get over the fact you have "had civ2 for years but I just haven't played it". Sacrilege!! Glad you're enojying it now though. If it's too much to maintain all your cities why don't you just have one city and then invade every body else! Alternatively play tetris instead

yeah, I've got PSP too and it's great for copying and pasting the units gifs but still has no help/ effect on cities and icons gif files. Something I've seen in altered cities and icons files is the altered section is often on the bright purple background - does this really make any difference...

Firstly, thanks a lot for the replies, esp on creating civ-specific units - I'll definitely be trying that. Another question: I can edit the txt files and units.gif file no problem, however it seems I can't edit the city, cities or icons gif files. I'm using classic civ2 2.42. Is there...

Hi, Have recently been messing around with a scenario and I keep reading people talking about using events and so I was hoping someone could give me the lowdown. Basically what an event is, how it works, how do you write one, what are the limitations/ paramaters, etc. Thanks for any help.

Hi, I've just started experimenting with changing files and am attempting to start making new scenarios soon. I just wanted some basic advice on what kind of editors and editing techniques I should use. I have PSP for the gif files, tribeEditor and the basic map editor. I really wanted to know...
