At some point, the AI may end up with a settler on a boat. For whatever AI reason, the boat will just sit in place, forever. Typically, it's up near the top edge of the map. Send some ships out looking for the rogue enemy boat, and sink it to win.

It is quite ironic that radar towers have no effect on air combat, as for the real-life counterpart, that's exactly what they were for!

You can use the editor to make mountains settle-able. I do that, because I also do your kind of city placement. I just get annoyed when the 2nd or 3rd ring of cities contains a one-square lake in the way of OCD placement. :D

Probably a pointer error, similar to when you've captured another civ's capital very early and hook up a resource or lux the first time. The popup message says you've brought <resource/lux> into <the captured capital> instead of your own.

It's possible some other software is using the same hotkeys. For example, with my AMD Ryzen audio-video drivers, I couldn't use CTRL+SHIFT+L to Locate City in Civ 3 because the AMD software mapped that key combo to "start logging". Once I disabled AMD hotkeys, it worked in the game again.

The strangest thing happened. I have one of those "tiny computers", the little 6 inch by 5 inch boxes that's all-in-one. It has the AMD Ryzen chipset. I updated the AMD video drivers, and lo and behold the sound doesn't cut out anymore in the diplomacy screen! Device Manager shows sound as three...

Actually, I've discovered that I lose sound. It works for some time, and then I suddenly notice there's no sound at all. Exiting the game completely and restarting it doesn't always fix it.

I just installed the GOG version on Windows 11, and I have the same issue - no sound at all. I wasn't prompted for selecting a driver with the GOG version.

Then is there maybe a bug? For the Pirates, all I could build were settlers and workers - no other units. As for the monsters, I meant the barbarian ones around the map. EDIT: Here is a screen shot after planting the first city.

It seems the Pirates can't build ANY offensive or defensive units. Is this intentional? With the monsters, expansion is pretty much not possible.

Where is the Iron Working technology? I can't seem to find it.

This mod looks awesome! I'm downloading it now, and I will give it a go. I'm glad to see Civ 3 modding alive and kicking.

It's great seeing new Civ3 games! Thanks for your efforts. Quick question... exactly what is the name of the biq/bix for this map?

That's incorrect. It was a 78-ish year old mother, and her 55+ year old adult children. Not that the actual details make it any less horrific, but just stating the fact of the matter.

Hope all is well too. I'm really into this story, and I hope it continues.
