I've also noticed that pretty consistantly I'll get a palace upgrade the first time I sucessfully defend one of my cities against an attack (barbarian or another civ). Periodically I encountered the "forgetting to notify" bug, though much more rarely on the current version of civ3 than on...

I'd second Fruno's book recommendation, and add votes for Kurlansky's other books, "A Basque History of the World" and, most especially, "Salt: A World History" which is totally fascinating -- not something that you think of as having been so important thru history, but it's amazing to discover...

Brad, you're the best! I recently got a 17" PB and it'll be sooooooo nice to have a full-screen civ3! (It's the same resolution as the 17" iMacs, right? 1440 x 900 ?) --sirromdivad

[OT] Sid, Sorry, was being US-centric. My bad! Bravo is a cable channel here in the States; they just started airing this show called "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" in which 5 gay men, each with an area of expertise (fashion, interior decorating, food & wine appreciation, etc etc --...

I'm totally guessing here, but couldn't you just take the leaderhead files for, say, Lincoln, rename them as Cleopatra, and get the Lincoln leaderhead graphics when playing Egypt? BTW, I'm totally making that up. Check the creation and customiztion forum, people are making new leaderheads so...

Actually, I'm fascinated to hear a definitive answer to this as well. At first I thought it was MP that was missing, but there was a clarification today or yesterday that MP is in as well -- is Conquests a replacement for PTW, with additional stuff? -- sirromdivad

So, Gamespot preview of C3C says that C3C will include all the PTW features minus Multiplayer -- i.e. new civ, worker actions, screen layout etc etc. So, that seems to imply that there would be a POSSIBILITY of us Mac users getting everything minus MP in one fell swoop (were C3C to be...

Just got my copy of EU2. Very excited! Wish I didn't have so much work to do in the next 10 days :( -sirromdivad

Hey, So has anyone else been having a problem with crashes from the Diplomacy screen (F4)? It happens to me fairly regularly that if I'm speed-clicking thru different leaderheads (checking to see if anyone has new techs, etc) that it'll suddenly crash the game when I click on someone. Never...

Mike, Are you talking about just using MF units in place of the standard civ3 units (archer, warrior, etc)? If so, just download the MF units, unzip, and drag them to Art/units/ in your Civ3 directory (backup the original units first!) I've been playing my first game with MF units, it's...

See, I thought I'd discovered something new, but it turns out I was just being slow. Oh well. :rolleyes: Sorry I wasn;t of any help.

gfeier, i don't know if it's the same problem you're having, but I was having BIG freezes/general slowdown which would suddenly hit me with the 1.29 patch. It seemed (though this could've been me desperately searching fro some logic/reproducibility) to have something to do with the CD or...

F7 = Wonders screen F11 (?) = Top 5 Cities & National Stats F12 (?) = Spaceship that sort of thing

Walter, Welcome to the Mac world. How odd, my copy came with a manual. Granted, there was a lot of stuff not IN the manual, but still. Also, to use your spies, you can click on the "E" which appears in the bottom right status box once you've built the Intelligence Agency. Happy...

Heh heh. Check out Crazy Apple Rumors for today. Made me think of this thread. http://www.crazyapplerumors.com/#200329733 -sirromdivad
