Cheers pesoloco (is that mad fish?). I'll try that. Is the 1.16 editor the one that came on the CD? If not - how do I get it - take apart the 1.16 patch or what? Steerpike

Well - does anybody have any ideas about this one? I tried to create a map using Civ3 edit (supplied with the game - UK English Version - patched to v.1.17f or whatever the newest one is), but when I try to load the scenario, it says that .bic version 3.00 files are nolonger supported of...

Ah well - thats an interesting one. I have a slightly "strange" card in my computer - it is apparently an ATI Rage 128 Mobility AGP 4x - according to ATI, they don't do drivers for it because it is meant to be a laptop chipset - strange that I've got it in my desktop. Still, I'm hopefully...

Okay, so that didn't work then. Could the problem be that I'm using the original UK release of the game - and it's *NOT* patched up?:confused:

Cheers - I'll try that and post again once I know whether it works or not.

How can some of you people not use :nuke: - it makes the game so much more interesting if you use them. Even better - if you are a fundamentalist you can GET AWAY WITH IT!!! Result = free cities, destroyed opposition and only a bit of pollution - a well placed nuke can take down an entire civ!
