>stupid stuff Agreed. The most annoying thing they do is build mines on your freshly irrigated squares, build concentric circles of road and the like! Same goes for the railroads, first priority for me is to connect every city from a direct railroute, rather than cover the planet with rail...

I've played Civ3 a while, only picked up the game after a lengthy absence of about a year. Without frequenting a forum like this, where it's obvious there are experts :) I think I'm *fairly savvy in playing the game, one thing I agree with is that workers shouldn't be automated. Now, those...

No problem slug, I knew you read the thread title but not the post ;)

Ya, I'd pay a few quid a month for a multiplayer version...but what about "stickyness", you'd have to sleep around with all the governors wives' to get any long term satisfaction ;)

Any correlation here, I've often thought that a resource won't appear when the appropriate tech is gained, if a lot of your terrain has roads/railroads etc.....they always appear on unenhanced squares.

I remememer playing huge maps on a slower PC, maybe it's worth doing your ironing or homework between turns since it can be quite slow anyway ;)

>>WORD: Burn the file you downloaded to a CD as well as a text file with the serial number that you received so you have a hard copy if this ever happens again. Yeah good idea, thanks....I have a DVD/R and I done that the other night. >>Padma ??? I don't know who you mean. Basically...

If anyone's interested (and just happen to have an emulator), I remember downloading Pirates, the Amiga version a while ago. There's probably more versions out there, but if the thread has caught your interest, it's out there to be tried ;)

Loved pirates, AFAIK I played it on the Amiga though it was a while ago... Lots of gameplay, only bugging thing about it was sailing against the wind!!! And those maps to find the hidden treasure, far too easy, just get the manual out and use your orienteering skills. //added Good time to...

Just as an update; Sent an email to "Atari UK" they said they wouldnt be able to help, I'd need to speak to whomever I purchased the game from. So I am royally ******* ;) Just bought the game for a SECOND time, so hopefully whichever vermin has copied the game, I'lve covered the...

thanks for welcoming on behalf of the forum ;) I see this now I've downloaded, it asks for an authetication-code that was in the email. and there's also a link "if you have already purchased this game" Doesnt seem to be recognising the email address (that I think) I purchased with, and...

Well, I guess this is my best bet. I've sent them an e-mail. Thanks for help , all...

Yes cableguy, I'm beginning to see that. It's not like I'm asking for a serial code though. Perhaps someone still has the original email and can paste the instructions about how to retrieve their serial-code. The developers send it through email and validate your email address to ensure...

>>>Like I said, contact the manufacturers. We're a fan site. Anyone have pointers, as per the original question? thank you.

Let's take it from the beginning superslug (and FWIW, I am a programmer) - I download Civ 3. - I pull out my credit card and get serial code - Serial code is emailed, with notice saying I can get the code 5 more times - Many moons later (now), I download the game again - Now, I'd like to...
